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’.

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.

HOM: HOM-002
Following up to the success of their enticing first outing, the secretive Berlin imprint serves up an opulent second platter that’ll rejoice everyone wishing for utmost seasonal contrast.
Isorinne: Recollections Of Forgotten Dreams
‘Recollections Of Forgotten Dreams’ serves as a dignified finale to an understated success.
Michal Turtle: Are You Psychic? / Astral Decoy
Melodically overwhelming, technically outstanding, both sides make for one of last year’s most extraordinaire records.
Mall Grab: Alone EP
The sincerity felt behind each track is echoing in its danceability: square-shooting and aimed at waking up house music’s elementary ‘let-go’ nature.
Gradual: Ipseity
‘Ipseity’ is exactly the kind of stuff you want to hear at 4am in a darkened sweatbox with nothing but a flashing strobe and a punchy sound system – an excellent and extremely assured debut.
