Roger West: Wasted House
While there might not be a clarity to West’s sound, it can certainly be found in his vision. These sounds are corrupted but sacrifice neither force nor catchiness. It’s a triumph of execution.
JMMF: Newmanos / Paraesthesia
For its sixth instalment, Steve Summers’ imprint Confused House returns with a solid plate of psychoactive late day jams by mysterious producer JMMF.
Max Loderbauer and Jacek Sienkiewicz: Ridges
If you were to feed Klaus Kinski potent acid then plonk him wild eyed and battered in a deep alpine ravine whilst Herzog filmed the consequences – ‘Ridges’ would aptly soundtrack the unfolding scenes.
Paranoid London: Paranoid London
About as purist as it gets, shadowy London outfit Paranoid London draws from the rawest period of acid house without ever succumbing to throwback.
Cosmjn: Drops
French vinyl-only imprint Fragil returns with a mesmerizing 2-track plate by Romanian producer Cosmjn, including a sexy remix by Marcellus Pittman. Deep soil session.
Madteo: Raveyard Shifts
Anxiety is over, or has it just started growing on you? One thing is sure, Madteo’s paranoid cuts lost nothing of their fearful charm.
Buffered Multiple: Buffer 01
Three years after its beginnings, Efdemin’s imprint Lirum Larum is back with a second effort by Vienna-based duo Buffered Multiple, supported by a remix from Efdemin himself.
Malcolm: GIVEITAWAY14
We’re pleased to introduce you to UNO NYC’s latest artist ‘Malcolm’ with this exclusive free download of GIVEITAWAY14, a solid piece of half-immersed dancefloor music for tepid audiences.
Raw M.T: La Duna
Raw M.T. is back guns blazing, peddling his sly rhythms in a diverse and compelling three-tracker.
Palms Trax: In Gold
Donaldson’s ability to compel the listener with his musicality while always staying club-focused is a rare ability; many producers play with technicolour new-age synths but few produce music this propulsive.
Gonno: A Life In Clarinet
There is a temptation to wave around statements of hierarchical quality when assessing a piece like A Life In Clarinet when put up against its label catalogue companions. This would be an unfair, as the sheer range offered by International Feel allows every release to stand distinct.
Palmbomen II: Palmbomen II
Just when words like analog, lo-fi house and ‘recorded straight from hardware’ become so ubiquitous that they make you want to go foetal and listen to precision-engineered techno in a padded cell, along comes an album like Palmbomen II to take the wind right out of your sanctimonious sails.
Clarence Clarity: No Now
No Now is sophisticated dumb music. Confused? I sure as hell don’t understand it. It’s completely overwhelming. Perhaps the future will be more refined, but for now the only option is to embrace it.
Privacy: Command Pattern EP
Privacy manages to develop his extraterrestrial approach of post-hip-hop breaks and cosmic flexions a la Drexciya.
So Inagawa: Integritithm
There are no surprises on Integritithm. There is just infinite, mind-boggling elegance, a finesse that knows no impeccably textured ceiling.
