Dwig: From Here To There

From start to finish From Here To There is a deep house masterclass. It’s immediately accessible yet generous to the attentive listener, excelling in the mesmeric capabilities of the genre while pushing a varied, refreshing palette.

Paranoid London: Paranoid London

About as purist as it gets, shadowy London outfit Paranoid London draws from the rawest period of acid house without ever succumbing to throwback.

Clarence Clarity: No Now

No Now is sophisticated dumb music. Confused? I sure as hell don’t understand it. It’s completely overwhelming. Perhaps the future will be more refined, but for now the only option is to embrace it.

There are no surprises on Integritithm. There is just infinite, mind-boggling elegance, a finesse that knows no impeccably textured ceiling.

Ro Maron: Collected

An interesting compilation of work from a producer whose role in the formation of dance music as we’ve later come to know it is undervalued, but one which may have benefitted from being a little less comprehensive.

Nina Kraviz: DJ Kicks

With 29 tracks on display, there is little room for showcasing. Instead elements drift in and out over the top of a never faltering kick as it shifts from wooden to throbbing to boxy.

There is a slight sense that they’re serving as a transition to the next Shifted full length, but their clarity and intensity is a reminder of the potential still held in dark, hard, techno.

Matom: Love Mistakes

Love Mistakes retains the raw quality of a live performance, with the creators (Matt Edwards & Thomas Gandey) breaking away from well-worn conventions by embracing a freeform method.

Jay Daniel: Karmatic Equations

Six months after his debut release on Sound Signature, Jay Daniel returns with a fresh five track EP on Kyle Hall’s label Wild Oats imprint, to confirm all the good things we think about him.
