Rezzett: Goodness
Goodness won’t be much of an original complement to Rezzett’s young catalogue, but is very much another fierce musical object in the straight wake of their ‘Rezzett EP’ and ‘Zootie’.
Project Pablo: I Want To Believe
The nine tracks on I Want To Believe’s cassette are golden: bouncy live-style jams drawn with clean lines rather than the excessive fuzz that many of his contemporaries use to drown their grooves.
Chambray: Work That
Everything is in order for a good sweat out, and Chambray doesn’t disappoint. This is what a hypermodern, futuristic Dance Mania would sound like.
Sabre: Morning Worship
You realise there is little to criticise, bar the way that Royal Oak is quickly becoming a dominating force on the bank accounts of avid vinyl buyers worldwide. But with quality like this, how can you say no to each and every release?
Jaures: Shtum 006
‘Detitled’, ‘Davos’ and ‘Nascent’ function as a musical triptych, borrowing fragments from the previous and paving the way for the next to come with a consistent sense of originality and liaison. The tunes unravel so naturally that this might well sound like the perfect jam session, rich in surprises yet impeccably wrapped-up.
Asusu: Serra EP
Asusu proves himself well beyond the bound of the Livity Sound Trio, a singular producer who seems to care as deeply about the tiny blips as he does the storming kicks.
Stave: After The Social EP
Stave’s ‘After The Social’ EP captures a brutal session of grim beat-rolling, focussing heavily on repetition and noise.
Dan Shake: Out Of Sight
Soulful motor city house may seem like an odd fit, but Dan Shake’s latest is as classy and satisfying as his first.
Autre & TIYG: Machina Electra EP
Autre & TIYG’s debut is a straight and to the point deep house jam. It jumps straight in at the first bar, and doesn’t let its energy cease until the needle slips off the platter at the end.
Anthony Naples: Body Pill
Body Pill plays out like a collection of promising ideas that only sometimes comes to fruition, too often feeling like sketches of fuller compositions that we’ll never hear.
Ro Maron: Collected
An interesting compilation of work from a producer whose role in the formation of dance music as we’ve later come to know it is undervalued, but one which may have benefitted from being a little less comprehensive.
Levon Vincent: Self Titled LP
Levon’s guerilla release of his debut LP caused quite the stir, find out if the contents lived up to the billing in our review.
Ëlohim: Terrarium
For their second installment, Vox Populi release the excellent debut EP of up-and-coming Belgian producer Ëlohim. A varicolored and tastefully arranged first delivery served with two fine reworks.
Arad: Haon
Haon feels like a preview of what might come from Arad, it makes it perfectly clear that not just McDonnell has creative input in the duo.
Jake Chudnow: Shona EP
A solid start, both for Bloc and for Chudnow, but here’s hoping that future releases will see the warmth and energy that define ‘Shona’ matched by an equal interest in staking fresh territory.
