Roger West: Wasted House

While there might not be a clarity to West’s sound, it can certainly be found in his vision. These sounds are corrupted but sacrifice neither force nor catchiness. It’s a triumph of execution.

JMMF: Newmanos / Paraesthesia

For its sixth instalment, Steve Summers’ imprint Confused House returns with a solid plate of psychoactive late day jams by mysterious producer JMMF.

Max Loderbauer and Jacek Sienkiewicz: Ridges

If you were to feed Klaus Kinski potent acid then plonk him wild eyed and battered in a deep alpine ravine whilst Herzog filmed the consequences – ‘Ridges’ would aptly soundtrack the unfolding scenes.

Cosmjn: Drops

French vinyl-only imprint Fragil returns with a mesmerizing 2-track plate by Romanian producer Cosmjn, including a sexy remix by Marcellus Pittman. Deep soil session.

Madteo: Raveyard Shifts

Anxiety is over, or has it just started growing on you? One thing is sure, Madteo’s paranoid cuts lost nothing of their fearful charm.

Buffered Multiple: Buffer 01

Three years after its beginnings, Efdemin’s imprint Lirum Larum is back with a second effort by Vienna-based duo Buffered Multiple, supported by a remix from Efdemin himself.

Raw M.T: La Duna

Raw M.T. is back guns blazing, peddling his sly rhythms in a diverse and compelling three-tracker.

Palms Trax: In Gold

Donaldson’s ability to compel the listener with his musicality while always staying club-focused is a rare ability; many producers play with technicolour new-age synths but few produce music this propulsive.

Gonno: A Life In Clarinet

There is a temptation to wave around statements of hierarchical quality when assessing a piece like A Life In Clarinet when put up against its label catalogue companions. This would be an unfair, as the sheer range offered by International Feel allows every release to stand distinct.

Privacy: Command Pattern EP

Privacy manages to develop his extraterrestrial approach of post-hip-hop breaks and cosmic flexions a la Drexciya.

DJ Qu: SS1

SECRET016 is a short and sweet three tracker with consistency working in tandem with variety. It certainly exhibits the work of an in-form producer who is reaching their prime right about now.
