The cocktail of freshness and naiveté of Domenique Dumont’s Comme Ça makes for the exact type of album that you’ll keep getting back out for your own pleasure and share around like a little personal treasure that only the most deserving should know about.

Pender Street Steppers: The Glass City / Golden Garden
There is no digital gleam to their sound: it is well-worn, evoking the tired smiles of a group of friends who can do nothing but sway after a long night of dancing.
Conforce: Presentism
If somebody were to ask you what ‘sub-aquatic’ techno sounds like, ‘Presentism’ is the direction you might point them in with the caveat that whilst it is, indeed, the sound of submerged electronics, there’s absolutely a foot on the dry and precise land of the dance floor too.
J. Albert: Dance Slow
Dance Slow is not only a supremely accomplished album with a host of great tunes, it also looks to be the launchpad for a career which is about to – deservedly – take dramatic flight.
Luke Abbott: Music For A Flat Landscape: Original Soundtrack to ‘The Goob’
‘Music For A Flat Landscape’ does a rather profound job of being not only emotive, but frighteningly beautiful. Those that do enjoy the ambient tipple would do well to give this a whirl, sit back and meditate, or whatever.
Ptaki: Przelot
The duo blend popular Polish songs from the ’70-80s together with contemporary rhythms like the trappy hats and hipopisms of Za Daleki Sen and the result is equal in functional bizarreness to the unlikelihood of the encounter.
Helm: Olympic Mess
‘Experimental’ music often fails to relate to any tangible experience. Compositions are marvelled at for their imagination, academic brilliance or technical wizardry, but fail to connect beyond that. With Olympic Mess, Younger has succeeded in capturing a time and a place, using murky intensity to document modern London.
Shinoby: Sensory Deprivation Tank EP
Picking up where Club Shock! left off, Shinoby’s new platter is all about numbing your legs and brain without further notice.
Nicolas Jaar: Nymphs II
The narcotised disco of his early singles gave way to the tactile electronica of Space Is Only Noise, and now Nymphs II shows Jaar sculpting sound more delicately and impressively than ever.
Dwig: From Here To There
From start to finish From Here To There is a deep house masterclass. It’s immediately accessible yet generous to the attentive listener, excelling in the mesmeric capabilities of the genre while pushing a varied, refreshing palette.
L Neils: Beta EP
The perfect balance between danceability and off-beat patterns, deftly push-pulling kosmische synth ascensions and vaporous acid trails to leave you dazed.
Kessel Vale: Shapes EP
With 3 tracks on the EP, the whole project is a mesh of intricately designed dubby goodness, shape-shifting the borders of house and techno. – Stream ‘Rituals’ exclusively on Inverted Audio.
Morgan Louis: Only1
Morgan Louis debut is most definitely a solid and versatile effort. The unique trajectory of the American producer is definitely one to be noticed and this EP nicely stamps the label’s will to carry on doing things in small, human proportions.
Steve Cobby & Trudie Dawn Smith: We Start Over
With the past years being dominated by techno and then ambient, International Feel are truly heralding the year of Balearic. Lower those tempos, widen your scope and break out the smiles.
Dial: All
After over a decade of frantic explorations, tirelessly shedding barks and shaping new sound perspectives via pared down canons, Dial is now up to celebrate its 15th birthday with a high-flying anniversary compilation soberly titled All.
Johnny Superglu: Rambo Village EP
Johnny Superglu’s prior releases on Plynt demonstrate cheerful but tweaked out electro-funk. This time he’s gone for something colder and darker, which based on this instance is certainly a step in the right direction.
