Harvey Sutherland: Bermuda

Katz may be referencing a lot of classic music with his sound, but there isn’t a touch of pastiche here. His feelgood vibes are genuine, his skill is real, and the club power of these tunes, particularly the A-side, is not to be underestimated.

Obas Nenor: My Way Home

It may be his first release with more than a single original track, but Nenor’s vital outing is a testament to both the producer’s confidence and Moodymann’s psychic skills as a curator. Two sides of straight fire, count this one as essential.

Jack J: Thirstin’ / Atmosphere

While Thirstin’ may be a groovy song, Atmosphère is the real jam here, showing just why Jutson will hold onto that house throne a while longer.

Bjarki: Arthur And Intergalactic Whales

It takes no greater pleasure than infectiously chanting it’s title at you over and over, like some sort of Berghain bred techno Pokémon. It’s easy to love but there is a greater treat over on the flip.

DJ Koze: XTC

It’s the most ‘floor-friendly we’ve heard Koze for a while, and paired with the brave A-side this 12” makes for a most welcome return for one of our scene’s most singular producers.

DJ Spider & Grey People: Service Elevator

A very convincing first instalment and an interesting addition to Grey People and DJ Spider’s fine catalogue, this first EP also marks Public System’s entrusting of its future to confirmed producers.

Hidden Spheres: Waiting

A winning debut for Lobster Theremin’s fresh label and a particularly impressive showing from Hidden Spheres, who shows he can bring the chill with the best of them without ever straying too far from the club.

Sean Khan: Samba Para Florence

Both contributions on this 12” look set to lend a funkily idiosyncratic and offbeat edge to all the right dance floors.

STL: Simply Positive

STL offers two effective and dynamic tracks which will undoubtedly find themselves appearing in the bags of DJ’s far and wide.

Inigo Kennedy: Requiem Remixed

This selection of remixes from last year’s “Vaudeville LP” by Inigo Kennedy is an absolute delight, drafting in four producers (Efdemin, Kangding Ray, Regis, Dasha Rush) who are terrifically on point.

Aleks: Low Definitions

Bathed from head to toe in a cloudy pool of tape-saturated, binary rhythms and grubby, hissy textures, this debut slice from Aleks…offers 4 elevated grooves laced up with some more prosaic, dancefloor-aimed cuts.

Laurine Frost : A Fading Virtue By Passing Time

Frost is a producer with an ear for unusual compositions and Marionette a platform for those with ambitious vision. Let’s hope we don’t have to wait another year until we hear what Marionette have for us next.

Axel Boman reflects on 1979

We caught up with Axel Boman to find out more behind his 1979 EP on Pampa Records – “My experience is a fantasy, a fictional dream place full of big butts, carnivals and cocaine.”
