Whodamanny: Cosmic Morphology

As its title suggests, ‘Cosmic Morphology’ beats the jagged pulse of a transmuting flux, intrepidly rollicking through offbeat, experimental yet groovy fields rather than executing another line of tried-and-tested harmonics.

Hotel Lauer: Lauer & Lauer

Remarkably enough, the music of sibling duo Hotel Lauer has taken a further trancey turn with the ecstasy-seeking ‘Lauer & Lauer’, their first outing on Stuart Leath’s ever-inspired [Emotional] Especial. Sharing a similar cold wave’y approach to synth melodies doped on beefy electro-bass tubes and crisp, compressed kicks, their sound gained a sheer rave energy and magnitude.

Soulomon reflects on Magnetic Archive

As the release of his debut instalment for newborn Italian label New Interplanetary Melodies comes closer, we caught up with Soulomon to discuss the long-coming release of his 3-track EP and sound evolution. Stream ‘Magnetic Archive’ within.

Mixtape: S Olbricht

In advance of his off kilter debut album on Lobster Theremin, Farbweschel co-founder S Olbricht pulls together a few tracks to whet your appetite.

Premiere: Physical Therapy – Spasm

Our premiere ‘Spasm’ contorts to the brutal onrush of a shadow-cruising predator bass and off-key synth switchbacks as a flock of bruising snares, smacking claps and clinky hi-hats drive the track into a chaos-inducing furnace. Physical Therapy has rarely sported his name so aptly.

Rudolf C: Synaesthesia

Three releases in and X-Kalay is showing real promise. Pairing fresh faces with a forward thinking house manifesto reminds of the early days of Lobster Theremin, and that is a case that shows how much potential to flourish there is if they keep hitting the mark.

Premiere: Leonardo Martelli – Il Registro

Menacing like JAWS’ main theme at first – a sinister bass strumming in a desperately shark-less ocean, ‘Il Registro’ offers what certainly counts as one of Leonardo Martelli’s most compelling slabs to date, combining the immersive impact of wistful pads with the galvanic crunch of a stealth breakbeat lilt. Straight up killer.
