Back catalogue: All genres

Review: While he's used the NAD alias for numerous commissioned re-edits and reworks, it's been a decade since Idjut Boy and Record Mission co-founder Dan Tyler last released an EP under the alias. Given his track record as a dub delay and space echo living editor, this surprise outing in the excellent Duca Bianca imprint is a more than welcome development. He begins by dubbing out, extending and rearranging a Germanic new wave gem ('Dow Wordy', with its dead-eyed spoken word vocals), before showcasing a lower-tempo, French language obscurity on the Balearic-not-Balearic shuffle of 'Histoire De Cul'. 'Krapps Smack' sees the Oslo-based Brit add extra layers of echo-laden insanity to a low-slung, extra-percussive punk-funk number, while 'Release The Pigoen' is a spacey, slow-motion AOR gem drenched in effects and saucer-eyed intent.

Review: An obscurity from Belgium's fertile late 80s new beat scene, The Zodiacs' only release is a curio that fuses eeriness with unlikely dancefloor power. Originally a 7" single, it now re-emerges in expanded form with an original mix, instrumental and a haunting remix from Athens-based producer Anatolian Weapons. The A-side feels like a lost transmission-urgent synth stabs, robotic funk and children's chants chanting "Move & Dance To The New Beat!" at a slightly uncharacteristic pace for the genre. That faster tempo, combined with the spectral vocal samples, gives it a strange and potent edge. The instrumental brings the textures into sharper focus, while Anatolian Weapons slows the tempo and draws out its more sinister qualities, transforming it into a ritualistic slow-burner for the darkest corner of the club. Oddball, effective and totally singular-this is new beat gone rogue. with modern dancefloor menace baked in.
