Fennesz: Agora
Electronic extraordinaire Fennesz supplies four operatic cuts for the Touch label with “Agora”, a rare solo foray by the artist, constructed from what hardware was to hand in his bedroom.
Bogdan Raczynski: Rave ‘Til You Cry
At 18 tracks long, with not one lasting beyond four minutes, it’s a joyous no let up journey through the annals of rave history.
Meitei: Komachi
‘Komachi’ is the producer’s beatific ode to his recently passed Grandmother, a woman he saw as representing a traditional Japanese sense of beauty, sophistication and tranquility that is gradually disappearing.
Shlohmo: The End
Shlohmo’s third album is an elevation of his mood-driven beats from beyond the realm of introspective headphone listening, to a level of gravitas and urgency that demands a larger space than your skull to reverberate into.
Smallpeople: Afterglow
Smallpeople deliver gorgeous bridges between lofty house and vibrant dance floor burners, a way to celebrate life, providing give-a-toss who’s watching me dance music.
MATstudio: MATstudio 1
It is no surprise that the latest release in Melody As Truth’s catalogue comes from Jonny Nash and Suzanne Kraft, two producers who have steadily grown closer and closer together in their sound since the label’s start.
Peder Mannerfelt: Life Without Friction
On his latest 12” Mannerfelt continues to explore the weirder side of techno, but without sacrificing enjoyability for purely experimental ends.
Kilchhofer Anklin: Moto Perpetuo
‘Moto Perpetuo’ tends to blur the lines between musical composition and studio production. By crafting pieces that rely on the entire stereo field, Kilchhofer Anklin rewards close listening.
Gunnar Haslam: Cacique De Poyais
What links and unifies so many of Haslam’s releases, including this one, is the ability to cultivate hypnotism – an ethos that has resonated throughout the catalogue of Delsin over the years.

Russian producer Ol steps up on LA-based imprint Motion Ward with seven deeply absorbing tracks that ride the line between ambient and dub techno, creating a coherent microverse of leftfield electronics.
Perc: Three Tracks To Send To Your Ghost Producer
‘Three Tracks To Send To Your Ghost Producer’ EP further extends Perc’s tried and tested formula for creating music for the most blistering of moments.
Bambounou: Whities 021
‘Whities 021’ in its effervescent minimalism and steadiness is more meditative and regular compared to some of Bambounou’s quirkier, flashier and club-ready works, a kind of surprising and counterintuitive move considered that Whities is certainly not a label afraid of pushing the boundaries of experimentation.
Adam Emil + Slim Hustla: Travellers EP
Following Harrison BDP’s and Jesse Bru’s excellent extended players on Piff Records, Bristol-based imprint shines again courtesy of Adam Emil and Slim Hustla arriving in fine style contributing the label’s fifth release.
B-Ball Joints: Glass
Two years on since the release of his debut LP as B-Ball Joints on PRR! PRR!, which broke all kinds of fences between frantic proto-tech analogue-isms and muscular EBM motifs, Hallais puts on his lesser-known guise again with ‘Glass’, due out in March on the ever bold and ambitious Mind Records.
