Review: Some of you may remember Ricardo Vincenzo from his 2015 debut Pororoca Transatlantica, a two-track missive that blended South American production with all the warmth of sun-kissed downtempo electronica. If anything, this belated follow-up for esteemed Finnish label Sahko is even better. Vincenzo begins with the farmyard animal samples, rolling tribal percussion, African chants and rich electronic bass of "Cabras No Elevado Quilombia", before chopping and looping a dusty old tango track on the mid-tempo house pulse of "Onna No Yujo". On the flip you'll find the low-slung, post-dubstep creepiness of "Haru", where exotic vocal samples drift across a sparse but heavy beat pattern, and the aural trip to Morocco that is "Excellent Drom".

Review: Over the course of the last two decades, Nicholas "I:Cube" Chaix has proved to be one of electronic music's most unique talents. He's pretty much done it all over the years, from epic ambient live performances and rip-snorting techno bangers, to jazzy broken beats and impeccable deep house. His latest EP for Versatile is another hard-to-pigeonhole classic, variously delivering creepy, metallic deep house ("Prepgav (Version 1)"), grandiose, otherworldly ambience ("Prepgav (Version 2)", and the beguiling "Sequence 3"), twinkling, 21st century piano jazz ("Walk With You") and Antinote style experimental synth-scapes (the rather quite brilliant "Ou Aileurs"). Throughout, Chaix's innate grasp of atmosphere, mood and melody shine through.

Review: Known best for their work on Blackest Ever Black as Raime, Tom Halstead and Joe Andrews resurface on the label under their lesser spotted alias Moin with this self titled EP. The music of Moin was first presented on Blackest Ever Black's Confessions 7-inch series last year on a split release with Pete Swanson, though the identities of those involved was not disclosed at the time. Described by the label as three tracks recorded with drums, guitar and bass, arranged with effects and sequencer" Halstead and Andrews plunder a more overtly sparse post punk sound as Moin. The darkness intrinsic to their celebrated work as Raime is still very much apparent here in the squalling, doom laden guitar drones, bursts of feedback and strange, unnerving chanting.
