Throwing Snow: Embers

In a world where the average person gives a track seven seconds for a hook to manifest, make sure time is set aside before deciding to experience ‘Embers’. An album in the truest sense of the word, it flourishes when play is pressed on track one and silence only resumes after the suite of fourteen reaches its end.

Demdike Stare: Wonderland

More than anything in their catalogue, Wonderland is rooted in the history of dance music, taking rhythms, grooves and structures from across the club spectrum. These beats however, have been mangled, tangled and twisted into weird new shapes.

Fabric 91: Nina Kraviz

Fabric close out the year with a techno mix from Nina Kraviz. Following on from last year’s DJ Kicks session, it represents a significant A-to-Z journey with a tour through a vibrant and varied landscape. Featuring archive tracks and unreleased moments from her трип label, breath-taking is not a strong enough word to encapsulate it.

Aybee talks up ‘The Odyssey’

With just a few days to go until Aybee drops his new album ‘The Odyssey’ via Deepblak, we caught up with Armon to discuss the conception of his LP, keeping things off balance and techno’s angry status quo.

Roman Flügel: All The Right Noises

With a brave title like ‘All The Right Noises’, Roman Flügel’s third album for Dial should be hitting All The Right Buttons. The good news is that after, at least, twenty listens we’ve struggled to detect a wrong noise. All of it seems very right indeed. It’s so right that we think this is likely Flügel’s best work yet.

Pangaea talks up ‘In Drum Play’

Marking his return to Hessle Audio with the release of his first awaited long-player, we caught up with UK-based producer Pangaea to discuss his album writing process and his relationship with Hessle Audio.

Shifted: Appropriation Stories

Appropriation Stories is one of the top Shifted works to date – providing everything fans and new listeners could want out of a techno album, while not trying to vacillate between the dancefloor and a headphone listen. It has terrific balance, exudes confidence and packs a mean punch with silk sheets surrounding it.

Les Graciés: Low Doses

Veiled under the name of Les Graciés, Paris-based sound artist Gaël Segalen and half of the Deepblak core Afrikan Sciences break down cultural barriers to pull an unique and cohesive output off their own singular heritages. After honing their skills for four years the pair is eventually taking the leap of releasing their longed-for debut joint effort ‘Low Doses‘, due out on Lindsay Todd’s Firecracker Recordings on 25th October.
