Low Jack’s albums have never been meant for easy listening or straight up club use, instead unchaining from any pre-conceived system or unwanted labelling. This debut outing for the highly-esteemed Modern Love does not only keep its promises music-wise, it also confirms the French producer as one of the most innovative techno producers out there.

Anna Homler and Steve Moshier: Breadwoman & Other Tales
First released in 1985, the collaboration between conceptual artist Anna Homler and experimental composer Steve Moshier took a piece of performance art out of the gallery and translated it to a permanent, universal medium.
Ewan Jansen: Lost Embers EP
It happens that a release strikes such a sensitive chord that it makes you want to devour the whole artist’s catalogue in a row but more rarely does it make up for lost time so impressively.
Q3A: Space Chamber
Hungarian producer Route 8 makes his debut appearance on Dutch imprint Delsin under his Q3A guise, serving up a solid, aptly-titled four-tracker that put on a fine mixture of house, techno and electro.
Forum: Forum EP
Forum steps in with a multi-flavoured four-track slab sharing the fragile and elusive charm of an after-party daybreak recovery and propelling quality of shazam’able in-club climaxes.
Nu Guinea: The Tony Allen Experiments
Extending the wide-ranging savoir faire of illustrious afrobeat pulse-machine Tony Allen with a fresh blend of retro-laced and path-clearing vision, Nu Guinea’s debut long-player stands as an original creation in its own right.
Guy Andrews: Our Spaces
“Our Spaces” is absurdly crammed with powerhouse belters, of blistering and emotive electronic music, of tentative air and formidable listening. In its entirety, Guy Andrews has created a perfect mix of otherworldly techno and distorted post-rock, strewn together then torn right back up again, a palpable irony against the laws of electronic music, that works so, so well.
Anenon: Petrol
Anenon, hailer of LA, lover of jazz, proportionate improviser and dedicated musician has brought out his third effort – ‘Petrol’, a remarkably poignant and daringly experimental album.
William Basinski: ‘A Shadow In Time’ at Union Chapel
Just like many other musicians who defiantly do things their own way, William Basinski clearly loves the music he makes, which is abstract enough to be utterly malleable in its interpretation or profundity, a unique experience for each listener. He is kind of a rockstar.
Paul Marmota: Aire
Paul Marmota projects the interplay between our minds’ fantasies fueled by the Internet, video games and the omnipotent media and compares them to the brutality of everyday life which can come scarily close to these illusions.
Sinner DC: MEG/CDG
Minus the overbearing concept surrounding it, MEG / CDG presents itself as a solid if not spectacular point of continuation in Sinner DC’s fairly extensive discography.
James Booth / Tyler & Mandre: Split 10″ Vol. 1
100% Silk and Nous habitué James Booth teams up with Tyler & Mandre for the inaugural release in Lowtec’s brand new Out To Lunch 10-inch series.
BAR: L.A. Düsseldorf
If ‘Welcome to Bar’ offered a beguiling seven-track slab brewing mellifluous kraut tropes with heliotropic synth-pop in a fragile – road movie style, black and white scenario, this remix EP awakens its delicate melodies with particular class.
R-Zone: R-Zone 16
There is a sense that R-Zone is continuing to mature where it could have embraced a niche, flourished and withered, resulting in a label that is now consistently surprising and enthralling with each new release.
Coni: Imaginarium Essai EP
Putting on display a lush palette of dub accents and unflinching techno in trompe-l’oeil, the French producer goes deeper than deep with ‘Imaginarium Essai’.
Moomin: A Minor Thought
For his sophomore long-player, coming a stately five years after its predecessor, Moomin has not tweaked the formula all that much. The pleasures are to be found in the same place as always: in subtle variations that reward over time and atmospheres as smooth as butter.
