Oliver Hafenbauer
Oliver Hafenbauer is a busy man. Artistic director of Live At Robert Johnson, resident DJ at the Frankfurt club and label boss of the ever gratifying Die Orakel, his agenda is pretty full to say the least. So when he dedicates some of his time to record a podcast, you know the series is in safe hands.

Hacking the Network: Telephones reflects on ‘Vibe Telemetry’

Garth Be: Law Of Fives EP
Better known as BE, Manchester-based producer Garth Be isn’t one to make noise for nothing. Each track off his new ‘Law Of Fives EP’ for local house wonder-purveyor Rüf Kutz feels like a labour of love in itself, letting off a silky mix of jazz-tinged, disco-savvy house melters. Dope boogie vibe.

Lord of the Isles: In Waves
Lord Of The Isles has turned his hand to a full length, working closely with Californian based ESP Institute to distil a wide selection of tracks from the past few years into ‘In Waves’. For a man without any academically noticeable ‘talent’ for music the resulting album is, quite simply, excellent.
Todd Modes: Native Visions EP
For his debut incursion on Aaron Siegel’s FIT Sound, Todd Modes delivers what is without a doubt his most accomplished slab to date. Equally at ease with an unlikely elixir of ’80s hard-rock solos and ancestral drum patterns or more typical Detroit house tropes, Cochell proves if needed that the Motown’s still there to provide some of the most exciting dance music around.
EMG
Ahead of EMG’s second release on The Trilogy Tapes, Emanuele Giannini contributes one of his rare mixes showing off his expertise in building up meditative journeys – starting from a long introspective opening, focused on ambient sounds, before circling into a series of captivating house grooves.
Grant: Cranks
Grant deftly dances over the old adage of the “difficult second album”, following up 2015’s ‘The Acrobat’ in quite some style.
