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.

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

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.

Florian Kupfer announces Explora EP for Technicolour Recordings
The four-tracker shows a much darker facet to Kupfer’s praised house sounds. Unfolding straight stomping 4 / 4 kicks over continually darkling and twisted machine meanders, the EP delivers some asphyxiating dubby techno cuts.
Pender Street Steppers: The Glass City / Golden Garden
There is no digital gleam to their sound: it is well-worn, evoking the tired smiles of a group of friends who can do nothing but sway after a long night of dancing.
