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

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.
Herbert: The Shakes
The Shakes is evidence that Herbert’s creative juices are still flowing at a great pace and the twilight of his career could be some way away. Some may disregard it for it’s zealous flirtations with mainstream pop, but this would be foolish as his sonic vitality will always overpower and turn this supposed weakness into a strength.
45 ACP: Change Of Tone
“Change Of Tone” is one of those pieces where mere words cannot capture how well constructed it is. So consider this haphazard arrangement of basic English vocabulary to be the waving of a flare;”Change Of Tone” is really rather good and most certainly not for sleeping on.
Viktor Birgiss: Hverfum Um Stund EP
Icelandic record label Lagaffe Tales latest release is from label boss Viktor Birgiss delivering 5 well crafted tracks to the table; each crammed with goodness from start to finish.
Art Crime: Obsession EP
Obsession EP keeps unfolding through its own space-time continuum, hatching highly-euphonious harmonics and sassy groove science in a constant shift of tempo.
submerse: Stay Home
Stay Home ups the tempo ante from submerse’s previous release “Slow Waves”…Where Slow Waves dwelt on reminiscence, Stay Home synthesizes a hybrid of this style, juxtaposing a hip-hop instrumental back bone with busy urban life.
Geena: Pure Ground Research
In the wake of three well-rounded releases dropped on the ever faultless Antinote imprint, Nicolas Molina aka Geena returns this spring with a fourth episode of his spaced-out ventures on the Parisian outlet.
Glenn Astro: Throwback
Glenn Astro was coy in our interview last week on what was to come next in his career, but with such a strong body of work under his belt now he needn’t be losing too much sleep.
Delia Gonzalez: In Remembrance
This is a record that slots into the exciting things happening in the fields of modern classical and analogue techno, and yet simultaneously stands on its own in that it sounds like absolutely nothing else that has been released this year.
