Responsible for just a pair of confidential releases between 1993 and 1994, Ingleton Falls mainly made a mark with their now highly sought-after tape, ‘Champagne In Mozambique’ – a five-track EP that Isle Of Jura first re-released back in October last year on cassette format and have now pressed onto black plastic for the first time ever.

Leslie Winer & Jay Glass Dubs: YMFEES
YMFEES is a work of euphoric deconstruction, boldly smashing conventional narratives and demanding the listener make their own meaning.
L’Amour Fou: Dujuan
Dujuan is not a surprise nor is it a revolution. Instead it offers the kind of well-crafted and beautiful spins on deep house we’ve been waiting for quite some time, whilst the genre seems to have reached a through as of late.
Leonardo Martelli: Menti Singole Vol. 2
Over two years ago was released Leonardo Martelli’s first EP on Antinote, ‘Menti Singole’ – an arresting four-tracker on which each cut bears the name of an imaginary male figure, with its own idiosyncrasies and distinct mood. Today the Italian producer returns with the second volume to the diptych, ‘Menti Singole Vol. 2’, this time gathering four numbers named after female names.
Isorinne: Speechless Malison
‘Speechless Malison’ is a deeply textural experience. Although this should be no surprise to followers of Michel Isorinne’s works to date. If your wallet can suffer a small additional amount of thinning in this post festive season, dive in. For this is arguably his finest creation to date.
Florian Kupfer: Contact EP
Florian Kupfer’s ‘Contact’ EP is a fitting release for L.I.E.S. – rough, unfinished and daring. ‘Contact’ might be the easiest track to digest, but it is ‘Z’’s exploration of approximation, that digs the deeper here.
NSRD: Workshop For The Restoration Of Unfelt Feelings
Although not explicitly protest music, the very existence of NSRD was an act of defiance, their bold experimentation a franticly impassioned attempt to assert identity. Listening now, the 1980s context is not obviously apparent, but the strive for individuality comes through in amazing clarity.
DJ Richard: Path Of Ruin EP
With DJ Richard convincingly meditating on winter and its inherent melancholia. His handwriting is apparent, but never loses its verve – no matter how harsh the weather is outside.
Tom Hang: To Be Held In A Non-Position
Jimmy Asquith is best known for heading up the suite of Lobster Theremin labels, it’s distribution arm, and its fledgling London based record store. Just recently, he has started to make himself known as a producer in his own right, rolling out an EP and archive out-takes releases under the moniker Tom Hang. Now, following these initial exploratory expeditions, is his debut album ‘To Be Held In A Non-Position’.
Bibio presents “Phantom Brickworks” A/V Installation at Old Truman Brewery
Just as the brickwork of the Old Truman Brewery remains largely unchanged, linking the cocktail bars it now houses to the brewers who worked there in its Victorian heyday, Bibio’s own Phantom Brickworks reinforces the bridges connecting then and now.
Seekersinternational: RunComeTest EP
Bokeh Versions and No Corner describe RunComeTest as a ‘time capsule’, if that’s so, Seekersinternational have dug it up and busted it open. Arranging the decaying, unfamiliar artefacts into something totally their own.
Pauline Anna Strom: Trans-Millenia Music
Trans-Millennia Music is a collision of the personal and the universal. A record made in an apartment that documents an artist constantly striving to reach beyond the boundaries of her reality.
Tzusing: 一瞬千撃
Following the drop of his eagerly-awaited debut album on L.I.E.S. a couple months ago, the Malaysia-born producer returns with his first EP on UAE’s finest Bedouin Records, ‘一瞬千撃’; and he’s angry to say the least.
Dasha Rush + LCC live at the Barbican
Milton Hall is described on the Barbican’s website as a perfect setting for choral and chamber music. Dasha Rush and Stanislav Glazov, and LCC and Pedro Maia, used this setting to point towards the huge possibilities of fully integrating electronic music with images.
STL: Nonzero Sonics
Following on from our exclusive track premiere, check our deeper dive through Stephan Laubner’s excellent outing on French imprint Dark Matters.
Bibio: Phantom Brickworks
Recently prone to immaculately produced ’80s smooth jams (The Serious EP) we must admit that it’s with a touch of trepidation that we fire up “Phantom Brickworks”, Bibio’s latest long player on Warp Records. However, true to form, Wilkinson surprises with an about turn focus on deeply pensive and emotive ambience.
