Review: Selling out within five minutes on her online store, RAVE:N, The Remixes'is an endgame-level convergence of some of the greatest DJs and producers on the scene right now, united with the daunting task of remixing American r&b icon Kelela's 2023 sophomore album Raven. Releasing to universal high acclaim, 'Raven' was a triumph and one of the most diverse and unique projects of that year - to be expected off the back of her similarly groundbreaking 2017 debut 'Take Me Apart'. Both projects ended up on several year-end lists, with 'Raven' being named number 1 by Resident Advisor. RAVE:N, The Remixes is a whole other beast, a 20-track 80-minute compilation of excellence featuring a star-studded lineup ranging from Yaeji and Shygirl to Liv.e and of course BAMBII and LSDXOXO (both heavily involved in making the source material.) The end result has something for everybody, an extremely experimental and varied interpretation of songs that don't overstep the predecessors. 'Fooley (LEECH Ambient Queen Remix)' is dark, heavy and intense, with harsh vocals chanting over Kelela's softly spoken hook, while 'Holier (JD. REID Remix ft. Shygirl)' transforms the quiet 'Holier' into a drill song, the 808s somehow enhancing the trilling ambient synths, complete with an all-timer from Mercury Prize breakout star Shygirl.

Review: Hudson Mohawke has always been a bit of a universe-builder, sonically speaking. Few dance music producers to emerge in the post-millennium period have created such a unique aural personality and carved out such an individual place for themselves. Despite giving us a number of incredible pieces of work over the years, Cry Sugar was in many ways the Scottish enigma's coming of age moment. Simultaneously smashing out hardcore, slomo UK breaks, weird-hop, freak&B, alternative-leaning EDM pop, soul, jazz, festival chart house, electronic sleaze and hyper emotional electronica overtures, the 2022 record was rightly tipped as one of the year's finest. And the perfect score to the tumultuous, chaotic and confusing times we woke up in at the time this one was being meticulously pieced together.

Review: Sarah Sommers' inaugural album HeartCore was captured live at Princess Tower Studios in Berlin. Clocking in at 74 minutes, it's a vibrant fusion of dance music genres fuelled by Sarah's profound passion for electronic beats that span various eras. From dub to techno, house to dubstep, and drum & bass to breakbeat, the record showcases all that and more across nine tracks extracted from Sarah's live sets and previously performed across Berlin clubs in 2022 and 2023. A testament to her lifelong love of the music, this LP epitomises authenticity and comes on lovely gatefold neon pink wax.
