DAMH have released one of the classiest house and pop EPs in recent times, polishing their tracks like gems, crafting the whole with such finesse that it leaves you asking for more. Superb.
Moon Zero Premieres ‘Lara Witchcraft’ – Directed by Ben Moon
Moon Zero talks about sonic experimentation, the significance of acoustics and the trade-off between the conceptual and the pragmatic in his creative process.
Fennesz: Becs
Becs is perhaps the most widescreen and melodic of Fennesz’s albums so far. His approach has spawned an awful lot of imitators over the past few years, a sphere of influence that sometimes seems unacknowledged. With Becs he reminds us just how distinct his music is.
Thomash: Candomble
‘Candomble’ sounds like it was sourced from the organic sounds of Brazil, be it the rainforest tones of the title track itself or the low key street café vibe of ‘Calango Fumando Palha’, all harvested by Thomash and served up with a twist.

Rob Clouth: Clockwork Atom EP
Beautifully complex yet accessible melodies…a pretty fusion of Plaid, Autechre, Jon Hopkins and Amon Tobin. Fantastic stuff – more please. Stream clips of the EP on Inverted Audio.
Christian Löffler: Young Alaska
For all those new to his work who are fans of Traum, Kompakt and the likes of Rone, Max Cooper and the aforementioned ivory tinklers – this comes thoroughly recommended too.
Teebs: E s t a r a
With a reliance on tighter rhythmic structures than in previous projects, Teebs uses tempered whacks and low-end thumps to pin his production down somewhat making ‘E S T A R A’ feel more anchored and less wistful than his previous work.
DJ Koze: Amygdala Remixes #2
It could be fair to say that both remixes do not represent the artists at their most sparkling individually, but they work their way into your consciousness over time.
Efdemin: Decay
Sollmann has neither changed his principles nor broken the continuity of his body of work with this album. Overall, it feels like a bifurcation. A necessary one.
Fort Romeau: Her Dream
From a conceptual standpoint, the material works to induce the familiar sensation one might experience when awaking from a half-forgotten dream, where joy or even pained feelings submerge and break down into something more ambiguous.
Brett Naucke: Seed
This is an album of deep headphone music, a unique analysis of texture. It floats around ideas of sound art and ambient music but mixes these with scattered electronics and fragmented field recordings.
Deep House Introspective III: Moomin – The Story About You
In the third part of our Deep House Introspective series, Tom Faber examines Moomin’s debut album ‘The Story About You’ released in 2011 on Smallville Records.
Dauwd: Kindlinn EP
Dauwd steps up his game with this EP, moving with ease from more broken rhythms to an ambiant-housey combination without abandoning what made him popular: those catchy, swarming pads and synthlines and that perfect taste in production. Everything is in its right place, emotional and sophisticated.
Mike Dehnert: Lichtbedingt
With this album, Dehnert demonstrates his consistency, switching with finesse from techno to housey patterns, finely sharpening his tunes – quietly delivering one of the best techno albums of the year so far.
