Auntie Flo’s music is hard to place, it has been championed by the likes of Giles Peterson, Actress and Nicolas Jaar but there are elements within this body of work that might well see him open a door to another audience of artists and listeners.

Maxim Wolyzn: Affirm, Deny, Reconcile
In its supple and beguiling tones, ‘Affirm, Deny, Reconcile’ presents itself as enjoyable, if un-showy, example of a continuing movement towards slower BPMs and looser ideas of what constitutes dance-music.
Jeff Mills: Light from the Outside World at the Barbican
If classical music, at least in aesthetic terms, presents tradition and the known, then during these performances Mills electronics have succeeded by working from within and alongside it, pushing its borders outwards toward the strange and unknown.
45 ACP: Turn On The Night
45 ACP offers an audio wilderness full of nostalgia-charged bells and retro synth streamers, smooth sliding in between loose house motifs and a more organic techno lifeblood.
Nackt: Virex
True to 100% Silk style, Virex reconciles the gritty with the polished, modernises the classic without disrespecting it and harnesses the beast within the machine without taming it.
Rival Consoles: Howl
‘Howl’ is a short-lived, yet gruellingly emotive and poignant album – If you enjoy artists like Heathered Pearls, Valentin Stip and Max Cooper, you won’t regret picking this up.
Roman Flügel: Monday Brain
Music lovers will indulge and gorge upon the six tracks of the release, whether it’s the drifting melancholy of ‘Teenage Engineering’, the heavy acid flows of ‘Church of Dork’, or the numbingly beautiful ‘Picnic for Players’, there are some stellar moments throughout.
Attitudes in Error: Vplay EP
The mysterious Berlin based imprint returns with an intriguing new direction not completely devoid of that distinctive sound which ties Acting Press releases together.
Lipelis: Edits
Russian producer Lipelis emerges on L.I.E.S. with a tasty three-tracker of smooth-sailing, disco-sweating edits. One of the most compelling output released by the Long Island stable in recent times.
Vangelis Katsoulis: The Sleeping Beauties Remixed
Into The Light couldn’t have chosen a stronger collection of producers to represent the work of Vangelis Katsoulis and the outcome is quite spectacular.
Damiano Von Erckert: Also Known As Good
Love Based Music, was a tour de force of colourful house and winning sketches, and while there are many great moments to be found on this follow-up, it lacks the consistency and energy of Damiano’s debut.
PLO Man: Stations Of The Elevated
While PLO Man’s core sounds may not be daring in their nature, here they are elegantly assembled and draw the listener in through structure as much as texture.
Call Super: Migrant
Call Super’s latest release, the two tracker of ‘Migrant’ and ‘Meltintu’, is yet another facet of Seaton’s capabilities, although it is one you may have already seen coming.
Senking: Closing Ice
If you’ve enjoyed previous Senking releases then “Closing Ice” will not disappoint. All the hallmark sounds are here, peppered with drum breaks, techy work outs and even a nod to low slung metal guitar head bang.
Gonno: Remember The Life Is Beautiful
This is a gorgeous album and one that is increasingly relevant as we begin to see the links between electronic music in Europe and Asia become tighter.
Patricia: Bem Inventory
‘Bem Inventory’ does certainly more than hitting the mark, it puts Ravitz’s body of work on a long-term footing that few producers can boast about reaching.
