Flash Crash/Hack Crash (12")
Cat: AMEN 012/AWC008. Rel: 23 Sep 24
Review: Basel-based experimental labels Amenthia Recordings and A Walking Contradiction join forces for their first collaborative release here in the form of the Flash Crash/Hack Crash EP. Both labels are known for pushing boundaries within their close-knit creative circles and this one features Agonis' heavy stepper and Konduku's whirlpool of low frequencies on the Amenthia side, while Lemont continues the low-end, tripped-out vibe. Varuna represents A Walking Contradiction and delivers swampy, slow-motion sounds in their signature style. This release embodies both labels' commitment to daring, unconventional electronic sounds.

The Sprit Of The Age (12")
Cat: DTLSND 009. Rel: 05 May 21
Review: Details Sound is a record label curated and run by Giuseppe Magistro and Matteo Fabbri, that has brought us releases by the likes of Olfactory Nerve, Luca Garino and Klankman. Their latest is this fantastic four track various artist compilation titled The Spirit Of The Age Vol.1. It features Anatolian Weapons with the the steely slow burning aggression of 'A Series Of Changes', label staple A Hand serving up some celestial and contemplative IDM on 'Mode4rn Cage', Gamma Intel's restrained fury as heard on the body bashing bass of 'Note To My Love' and the real stars of the show here - Vactrol Park. The London-based duo giving their very best on the B side with the immersive analogue ritual rites of 'Dense & Ragged'.

Review: Khidi rolls out another anniversary EP here and it is another various artists affair that takes no prisoners. On their opener, Ancient Methods & OTHR bring some hellish metal and industrial overtones to the stomping, vicious 'Vast Vanishing' with its horror-core vocals. Roman & Boyd Chidt don't let up but offer a more linear and streamlined bit of stomping techno pressure. Silent Servant unleashes lashings of metallic synths over his signature tech sounds and then the floating loops of Unhuman & Vulkanski suspend you just above a rusty old factory floor.

Veil/Unveil Issue One (clear vinyl 12")
Cat: VEILUN 001. Rel: 24 Sep 13
Review: Limited to a pressing of just 250 (with a promise of no represses) this clear vinyl release is special in every sense. Powered by some of the most exciting names on the fringes of bass and electronica; each of the four cuts strut with raw melodic futurism. "The Noncolour Entity" rumbles with a dubby techno groove a la Funk D'Void. "Irradiate" comes with an almost Bonobo-like dreaminess while "Lovesick" shakes and shudders with a sub-soaked groove and bright, bold swinging breakbeats. "Glimpse" closes the show on a timeless analogue note. Coming on strong like an old Guy Called Gerald record, it's all synths and classic electro breakbeats. Outstanding.

From Berriat To Pitteurs (limited 12")
Cat: PCR 001. Rel: 06 Apr 21
Review: Grenoble's Binary Digit (Dream Ticket/Opal Tapes) appears on a split EP here with Belgian debutant Victor Ziegler, to inaugurate new imprint Postal Code Records on From Berriat To Pitteurs (PCR001). On the A side, Binary Digit is in fine form on the wacky acid-jungle hybrid of '4020 Pitteurs FM' followed by the lo-fi chiptune electro of 'Ob_Break'. On the flip, Ziegler takes the rolling breakbeats of the '90s UK underground and merges them with the aesthetic of dreamy electronica of the time - namely on Warp or Rephlex - with the glassy-eyed and bittersweet epic 'Nostalgic Aerobic' which was easily the standout tune on this stellar EP. Keep your eye on Postal Code Records in 2021.

Dancefloor Classics Vol 4 (limited 10" + MP3 download code)
Cat: RAJATON 02D. Rel: 06 Nov 23
Review: Finnish underground icon Sasu Ripatti returns under his most frequently used pseudonym, Vladislav Delay, for another bout of Dancefloor Classics. The series has already established a loyal following, and the fourth episode is enough to explain why, even if you've not encountered any of the preceding instalments. Music for imagined dancefloors is how the official release information puts it, it quickly becomes clear just how vivid that imagination is. Throwing down a string of footwork inspired cuts, the four tracks here are frantically upbeat and packed with filthy, jacking potential. But they're also deep, at times ghostly - or at least a little eerie - and ground in a desire not just to make people move, but also push sounds forward into new territories. Never an easy line to tread, the overall results hit as hard as the beats themselves.

Compilation Series Now 4 (12")
Cat: US-011. Rel: 14 Jul 06
Review: The fourth and final release in the "Now" compilation series by Underscan Records delivers tracks by Slemper, Lambent, 3tronik and Fibla. The variety of styles defines what Underscan is all about. A mixture of contemporary electronica from abstract hip hop to dance oriented electro experiments. The complete series with all tracks from the four 12" records will be available on CD in Autumn of 2006 as a follow up to this release. Slemper kicks off the record with a stunning electroesque-track named "Dusdatikaf". Pounding beats and beautifully composed melodies warp around to make this track a club compatible DJ tool as well as a perfect home listening adventure. Slemper is Maarten Meussen from Den Haag (Netherlands) who just released his debut album "Mismatch" on the Belgian imprint Aecletrick with which he gave an outstanding example of today's freshness in electronic music. Lambent focuses with his track "Kaudyoe" into the abstract hip hop realms of electronica and creates a cinematic mood by the use of shifting tempos and found samples. Lambent is Akira Inagawa from Japan who is now based in Berlin. His works have been released on labels like Expanding, Jetlag or Alianation and his next album will be made available thru prestigious City Centre Offices later on this year. 3tronik is Fabien Florin from France. His track "Verwirrung" has already gained lots of interest by music fans all over the world as the result of being already released by various net-labels like Sutemos. Now finally and for the first time "Verwirrung" is available on quality 12" vinyl for all collectors out there. Fibla is well known in the world of today's electronica. With his own imprint spa.RK he offers records that are "Intended for emotional audiences". He has also had many releases on such labels as Sub Rosa, Quartermass, Benbecula, Worm Interface & Expanding. His contribution to Now 04 titled "International" thus is a very emotional release perfectly set into warm organic.

Enter The Plague (12" + booklet)
Cat: MROME 027. Rel: 21 Jan 15
Review: The first release from Minimal Rome in some time sees label boss Valerio Lombardozzi curate a mini album of dramatically charged power electronics themed around "the silence and the noises of the plague". Lombardozzi naturally features under his Heinrich Dressel alias, and is complemented by solo contributions from Giallo Disco founders Antoni Maiovvi and Vercetti Technicolour along with Alessandro Parisi and Umberto. Fans of cinematic synth heavy soundscapes are probably licking their lips right now, and the five tracks do not disappoint. Dressel's opening "La Peste" is almost yearning in its widescreen deployment of synths, whilst "Spitalfields 1665" from Maiovvi is a more forceful arrangement. Not Not Fun regular Umberto is a more stripped back, restrained mood with "The American Dream Plague" whilst Parisi's "Calamitas Calamitatum" is full on Giallo dancefloor horror and perhaps our favourite here!

Point A (12")
Cat: OBM 03. Rel: 09 Dec 19
Review: Following fine EPs from Healing Force Project and Mesak in 2017 and 2018, On Board Music flips the script on its first and only vinyl release of 2019. "Point A" is the Berlin-based label's first mini-compilation and it's well worth a listen. Lanoche kicks things off via a spot of ultra-deep dub techno/ambient techno fusion (the wonderful "Love Fall", before Yugen doffs a cap towards the hypnotic, synthesizer-driven sound of late 1970s Krautrock on the suitably cosmic "Phantom". Serena Butler's "Fertile Fancy" is an immersive drift through enveloping ambient, Estrato Aurora's "Icnita" a bubbling deep techno epic and Vera Logdanini's "Vplanet" an acid-flecked trip into locked-in electronic hypnotism. In other words, this is a very fine collection of cuts.

Sudstadt (12")
Cat: GIEGLING 012. Rel: 02 May 13
Review: The Giegling label is no stranger to implementing conceptual ideas within the constructs of their output and Sudstadt EP, their 12th release, offers an intriguing central idea. Each of the four producers here - Giegling regulars Vril, Prince Of Denmark and Leafar Legov along with debutant Herr Koreander - grew up in Hannover and this 12" offers them a chance to portray their individual memories through the medium of music. Legov and Koreander commence and end the release in experimental fashion and sandwiched in-between is some of Giegling's most eminently danceable output yet from Vril and Prince Of Denmark.

Dekmantel 10 Years 01 (12" in die-cut sleeve)

Review: Gird yourselves; starting from this month and running through until December, Dutch institution Dekmantel are celebrating a decade in the game with a series of monthly 12"s featuring a seriously all-star cast from Tony Allen to Villalobos. It starts right here as legendary innovative composer Gigi Masin opens with the lilting, delicate "Maja", Vakula brings us down from the clouds and back to the future with the body-jacking ghetto bump of "Robot Fuck The System" while Flugel blows the finale horn with the swampy Amazonian harmonic trip-out "Mice On Stick". This is the start of something very special.

Divide & Rule: Part 1 (12")

Review: Greek label Pi Electronics bring together four native producers for this various artists EP that takes no prisoners, two years after the first such compilation. It features tracks taken from the full length comp of the same name - the rest will no doubt come on their own wax later - and opens with a 10 minute recording by Orphx and JK Flesh (Justin Broadrick) that is taken from a live show they did in Amsterdam. Vofa's 'Agosame' is another thrilling bit of blistering, lo-fi techno and Fragedis goes hard with the brutalist drums and dark, caustic textures of 'Disillusion.'

NOOD 5 (12" + MP3 download code)
Cat: NOOD 5. Rel: 20 Oct 21
Review: Since launching six years ago, Bristol radio station Noods has become something of an online institution, with pleasingly experimental-minded shows from local music heads being joined by essential guest shows from up-and-coming DJs and producers from around the world. Earlier this year they finally launched their own label, which aims to showcase new talent, and here deliver a superb mini-album that was initially intended to drop on the station's fifth birthday. There's much to enjoy, from the murky, dub-wise percussion-fest that is Ossia's 'Drum Tangle' and the break-neck, post-jungle insanity of 'Static Whip' by Katatonic Silencio, to the psychedelic ambience of Ployer Fower's 'Aguries of Innocence' and the gently melodious, sub-heavy shuffle of Cleyra's 'Twined'.

Idealism Volume II (12")
Cat: IDEAL 152. Rel: 07 Feb 17
Review: Sweden's pleasingly experimental iDEAL Recordings launched the iDEALISM series of multi-artist EPs back in 2015. This second volume has been long promised, though it's arguably been worth the wait. It features a quartet of dark, moody and intense tracks that effortlessly combine elements of experimental noise, industrial music, and left-of-centre techno. Alexandra Atnif provides the EP's most harrowing moment, an intense, pitch-black onslaught entitled "Last Stand of Reason". If that could be described as "fiendishly unsettling", we'd argue that Varg's trippy "Run No More Parts I & II" is an altogether more psychedelic proposition - even if it is a little on the uncomfortable side. If you're after something a little more becalmed, check out the gently unfurling drone textures of Copley Medal's epic "Ger Lopic".

Cat: 32 SC. Rel: 15 Mar 22
Review: Seance Centre have put together this beautiful new limited edition package on hand-stamped 12" and it is a meditative escape of the highest order. 'Rust' opens up with shimmering pads and half-heard voices, scattered drum sounds and immersive ambient that is like waking up from a dream. 'Ah Bah Dee' then builds around an evolving synth melody with twinkling keys up top and 'Winterhaze' brings a warmer, more hopeful vibe with its whimsical flutes and gentle rhythm. Closing out the EP is 'Daylight Savings' with organic piano chords falling heavy on the heart.

Octava Dimension (heavyweight vinyl 12")
Cat: ALZ 04. Rel: 06 Sep 21
Review: Three years after making her debut on Sounds of Beaubien West with the deep and dreamy Agua Congas EP, Paula Tape returns with her first vinyl outing since. This time round she's in collaboration with Italo-disco/Italo-house revivalist - and Alzaya Records co-founder - Volantis. 'Octava Dimension' is pleasingly thrusting and druggy affair, with the Chilean's breathy vocals and an ear-catching lead line working in perfect unison with a tough, Italo-disco style bassline and jacking machine drums. Over on the flip, Elias Mazian re-imagines the track as a tactile, early '90s deep house treat, while Tornado Wallace lays down an even deeper, dreamier revision built around a lovely bassline, heady stabs and off-kilter, post-electro beats.

Review: It's been three long years since Vaal's last 12", a collaboration with Italian tech-house types Tale of Us. "Wander To Hell" is an intriguing proposition. For starters, it's a song, with bittersweet vocals stretching out over sustained chords, woozy melodies, bubbly electronics and a tactile, soft touch groove. It's undeniably atmospheric, and arguably suitable for club plays despite its home listening roots. The accompanying remixes drag it further towards dancefloor territory. The Locked Groove Mix is darker, woozier and altogether more metronomic, while the Baikal Remix reinvents the original as a paranoid chunk of thrusting, late night techno.

Review: Italian experimentalist Vaghe Stelle has been quietly forging his sound across EPs for Margot, Shabu and Opilec, but this graduation to Gang Of Ducks sees the producer's first physical release, in a plush silk-screen printed sleeve no less. The music contained within emerges in many different shades, from the emotional grind of "4th Hope" to the industrial blasts of "8th Hope", not to mention the dissected hardcore breaks and searching melodics of "10th Hope". The combinations are curious at every turn, and there's still space for remixes from Best Available Technology and GOD who turn out reduced dub-house abstractions and muffled techno respectively.

Review: For those who don't know, Trensmat is not a rip-off of Detroit's Transmat, but rather, Ireland's answer to labels such as Blackest Ever Black and Hospital Productions. If you check their discography, there's plenty of hidden gems to uncover. On this record, the enigmatic Valved receives a furious remix treatment from two Juno HQ favourites. "Tipping Point" is downright disfigured by the incorrigible AnD duo - not once but twice: the first remix offers a cascade of fuzzy, distorted kicks and incessant drone loops, while the second removes all traces of a beat and delves deep into the cogs of the machines. On the flip, "Blood On The Controls" is rewired twice by Whirling House of Knives. The first is a chest-bursting monster from the depths of the drum machines, while the second is a slice sparse and experimental neo-funk with an otherworldly succession of popping kicks and crystal-like background atmospherics. TIP!

Review: The second release from No Comment, the mysterious Dutch techno imprint with a penchant for number-heavy track titles, and once again the equally mysterious Albert Van Abbe is at the helm. The menacing rhythmic throb of "NCS 0009121010" is complemented by some increasingly abrasive hats and needle sharp percussion - the way the track progresses and undulates before running its course is a joy to behold! The Heinrich Mueller remodel on the flip has a much less subtle affect; it carries a menacing swagger to the beat which bounds along beneath the highly strung synth work. This shares a side of wax with the ambient bliss of "P4S 1000291010". Essential business pressed up on stush marble vinyl.

Nuborne EP (clear & smokey vinyl 12" in embossed sleeve)
Cat: C2E 22. Rel: 19 Nov 24
Review: Van Boom shows a talent for blending dark, atmospheric tones with experimental soundscapes here while working with artists like whiterose, Safety Trance and Evita Manji on an album that explores themes of emotional vulnerability and transformation. The opening track 'Nuborne' sets the tone with its haunting, immersive sound, followed by 'Untethered' with the ethereal vocals of whiterose. 'Polished Wounds' and 'Object Mapping' delve deeper into intricate textures and layered compositions. It sounds great and looks good too on limited edition smokey clear vinyl.

Songs From The Film: Feels Good Man (Soundtrack) (limited 7" in spot-varnished sleeve)
Cat: MOND 233D. Rel: 07 Jan 22
Review: It's not easy to work out which you should focus more on here. Sharon Van Etten's 'Let Go' is a triumph of gradually building and developing indie rock, existing as it does somewhere between the late-1960s and today. Her cover of 'Some Things Last A Long Time' , originally recorded by the legendary Daniel Johnston, is also a real triumph. Anyone who can make his work sound like their own deserves some serious props.
But then the film itself, Feels Good Man, needs a reference too, as it's among the most important documentaries of recent years. Charting the rise and re-appropriation by the alt-right of the Pepe the Frog meme, it paints a chilling picture of the cartoonish nightmare dystopian novelists could barely predict, which we have walked into, led like children to the sacrificial altar of Coca-Cola or some other multinational brand. Take that description, imagine the songs that depict it, and you should end up here.

Myriad different mods, grooves and tempos are on offer here starting with the puling rhythmic depths of Vardae's 'Pahlevan' then moving on to Kick21's 'Bright Interface', a dark and haunting low-end wobbler. Atavic's 'Subconscious' is a heady one with ambient cosmic pads over deeply hurried, supple rhythms then while Tammo Hesselink & DYL combine to mesmeric effect on the carefully curated broken beat brilliance of 'Accent Award.' A forward-thinking EP for sure.

Bunkerterror (10")
Cat: HOS 486. Rel: 25 Oct 17
Review: A gnarly double header up next on Dominick Fernow's notorious Hospital Productions, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary. He dons the reverb Vatican Shadow moniker for his take on "Bunkerterror" a blistering example of 'war techno' if we've ever heard it. This steely and pitch black epic reachers near tribal moments with spitfire military rhythm arrangements. On the flip, Ancient Methods provides his take on the track and other than the occasional metal strikes, his version is less industrial and more hypnotic style techno with its grumbling monosynth bass and heads down/strobe-lit feel throughout. These two cuts were said to be inspired by their occasional back-to-back live and-DJ sets, with Fernow providing the "New York" side (naturally) and Michael Wollenhaupt (Ancient Methods) obviously turning in the "Berlin" side. Dangerous gear right here, handle with extreme caution!

Invasion/Murder One (limited translucent red vinyl 12" + MP3 download code)
Cat: SBR 289. Rel: 25 Feb 22
Review: Suicide's Alan Vega was a truly visceral artist. Time and again he gave us mutated, spliced tracks, screwing mechanical futurism into familiarly human sounds to create hybrid noises that weren't born of our time, and instead sound like things that came before us, while also conjuring images of futures yet to arrive.
Invasion/Murder One follows in a similar vein, and lands in the wake of last year's Mutator. Again, this is Vega solo and plucked from the infamous archives of his previously unreleased and largely unheard stockpile of weird and wonderful music. The two tracks were both recorded in New York but decades apart, the most recent as part of a group of tracks that were laid down prior to sessions beginning for his 1999 album, 2007. If that's simply too many numbers, let's just say this is brooding, gritty, distorted but euphoric, empowering but tense experimental rock, with electronic effects.

Review: Dark Entries has been at the forefront of the coldwave and synth revival that has slowly taken hold over the last decade. Next up they turn their attention to a reissue of an out of print EP from 1988 by Jordi Guber and Krishna Goineau as Velodrome. Villalobos has been known to drop cuts from it, which should give you a good idea of its musical style: freaky 80s electro built on steppy drums, with taut and twanging synths reverberating around the mix, as exemplified by the opener. "Glasfabrik" is a hyper-speed cut with a tongue in cheek vocal, while "Capataz" is the most well-known joint with its acid bass and crashing hits.

Review: Venetian Snares, aka Gonk the 8-legged Viking, is back with yet another record that sounds nothing like Boards Of Canada! The catchy title track opener, "Pink & Green", blends demented punk vocals with hyper-complex grooves and gut gurgling bass blasts. You can just tell this is something fresh and funky from producer Aaron "funk" Funk. Not to worry though, the sub-rattling low-end blasts and jackhammering hardcore anthems are still here and in full effect on tracks like "Sporto Fucking Sellout Cocksuckerface" and "Husikam Rave Dojo".

Review: Canada's Venetian Snares continues his worldwide sucker-punch assault with what is very possibly the heaviest gun in his arsenal: "Infolepsy". Like the title suggests, Mr. Funk delivers an EP that will make your body move like you're having a seizure. From destruction of the Sesame Street pinball song, the desecration of Uma Thurman, and the deconstruction and reconstruction of "punishing the atoms" snares lambast you like they haven't since Shitfuckers. This is Venetian Snares as you grew to love him; cranking out the sickest, cleanest, densest, most full-on breakcore you'll ever hear. Coredump records in its mission to diversify and bring you quality electronic music is excited to be unleashing Venetian Snares' latest bastard child so it can steal the lunch money from Rosemary's baby. This is the real future of the broken beat.

Golden Taurus EP (140 gram vinyl 12")

Review: Crimes Of The Future is the kind of label you can trust, no matter who is at the controls. The same could be said for Giallo Disco, and certainly the two labels orbit a similar space for lurid soundtrack-inspired hardware jams from the Italo age. Vercetti Technicolor is one half of the Giallo team alongside Antoni Maiovvi, and here steps out with a perfectly bombastic range of compositions that revel in B-movie brilliance. "Golden Taurus" is the perfect slow-burner, those mono bass notes warming like no soft synth ever could, while "Topaz Fear" brings a more action-driven sequence into the mix. "Death Wish" too opts for a pumped up club scenario, while Heinrich Dressel smokes out "Golden Taurus" into a seedy slow-jam.

Review: Cedric Vermue's Perpetua album from this time last year explored neo-classical and ambient with a mix of piano, organ, synthesizer, electronics, woodwinds, horn and even a female choir. Now one of its most standout cuts gets reworked into a more club-ready sound by master sonic craftsmen. Italian deep techno son Donato Dozzy goes first and brings his signature smoothness, supple rhythms and bubbly drum and bass combos for a delightfully heady trip. Then comes a Grand River rework, also of 'Patterns', that is more tense and textural with fizzing drones marbling the rising synth work and suggestive minimal rhythm.

The 808 beats are crisp and snapping, like they should in proper electro, but the synths shape out the atmosphere in brooding, dystopian strokes shot through with a certain mournful quality. It makes for engrossing, emotionally charged material perfect for the dancefloor as much as headphone reveries - just flip to the gorgeous "Aegis" and feel yourself drift away to somewhere mystical in the far reaches of the future.

Review: Originally hailing from The Isle of Wight but now based in West Norwood, South London, Vertical Cat has been releasing tunes since 2001 on imprints like Smallfish, Vice and his own rather wonderfully named Achingly Responsive, but now finds himself delivering seven varied creations for Chicago's Kimochi Sound to issue via the kind of hand-numbered, limited edition run that's sure to get trainspotters salivating like Pavlov's dogs. From the jazz-inflected phrasing, subtle phasing and jiggly sub-bass of 'Go Willy-nilly' to the Mills-esque thumpfunk of 'Oh You Mucky Bugger!', there's a bit of everything here, but every last moment is delivered with quality and clearly perceptible personality. You've also got to love outro track 'I'm Leaving', which soundtracks an awkward call to HR with some nicely cheeky, perky exotica.

Review: The Mute affiliated Liberation Technologies continue their ascendant 2013 with Misery Is A Communicable Disease, the first tangible release from Vessel since last year's stunning debut album Order Of Noise. Since his emergence as Vessel, Seb Gainsborough has gradually carved himself a place in the interzone between the rhythmic and the avant-garde with his material on left_blank and Astro:Dynamics and as part of Bristol collective Young Echo, but most impressively with that aforementioned long player for Tri Angle. Misery Is A Communicable Disease essentially picks up where Vessel left off with the moribundly named title track swamping hopeful Utopian Motor City textures reminiscent of Kenny Larkin in clanking industrial rhythmics. "VMI" meanwhile unfurls like the kind of lopsided no wave electronics that would appeal to Silent Servant or Powell and "Not For Design" offer a typically deranged finale.

Review: Recorded in Essaouira, Morocco, Pedro Vian and Maalem Nabob Soudani present an exercise in melding the traditional and unorthodox, the old and new, the abstract and the direct, the exotic and, well, something even more exotic. Rooted in the Gnawa sound, but leaning heavily into deep electronic worlds, EMS AKS Synthi and buchla meet the qrebeb and guimbiri, everything contrasting yet complementing. The result is this intoxicating brew that transports you to the North African coastline on which this collection was conceived and captured, and then onto somewhere that's almost beyond the terrestrial. Close your eyes, allow the hypnotic looped musical phrases and organic aesthetic of the recording itself to wash over you, through, and around your body. Something to truly get lost in and a fantastic example of cross-pollination done properly.

Review: Having released over fifty records since their foundation back in 2009, Dark Entries use the widened exposure afforded by that excellent Patrick Cowley compilation released in the last quarter of 2013 as a springboard to launch a new dedicated 12" series. Retaining their archival approach, the first release focuses on the short-lived Italian act Victrola; formed as a four piece combo in Messina, Victrola slimmed down to the synthesizer and guitar-based duo Antonio "Eze" Cuscina and Carlo Smeriglio and moved to the fertile music scene growing in early 80s Florence. In 1983, the pair issued their one record-shaped contribution to the early 80s Italian synth scene in the shape of Maritime Tatami, a two-track 12? issued on the Electric Eye label. Recorded using the Roland TR303 and TR606 at a time when these models had only been made available, so this reissue of Maritime Tatami from Dark Entries offers a chance for people to assess a slice of analogue experimentation at its most nascent.

Review: Unwritten rules of the music industry #519: After the album comes the remix EP. At least in the case of a label such as Smalltown Supersound, they commission the sort of producers who are capable of actual innovation when it comes to a remix. Here cuts from Carmen Villain's album Sleeper are reworked by Messrs Peaking Lights, JD Twitch and Bjorn Torske with suitably psychedelic results. First up is the Peaking Lights take on "Dreamo" and Aaron Coyes stylistically stays close to the lo-fi digidub sound of his recent work, all shimmering delay, tropical melodies and cheap drum machine manipulation. On the B Side, Optimo don JD Twitch indulges his industrial side on a dark, electrifying rework of "How Much" that fits Carmen's vocal perfectly, whilst the Torsker (as no-one calls him) adds a touch of Scandolearic class with his take on "Obedience".

Review: One half of the mystical Haussmann outfit, the talented Claude Violante steps into the limelight with a self-titled EP that brandishes her own delicious amalgamations of bitter-sweet synth-pop and ritualistic electronic jams. Coming through on France's Digital Tsunami - an imprint reserved solely for the most daring of pop works - her four track EP contains a little bit of everything for everyone. "For You" combines crispy funk breaks together with nostalgic melodies to create one hell of a wall of sound, not to mention her own majestic vocals gliding high and mighty in the background. "Your Way" shoots a 4/4 house beat down the gullet of some truly gnarly synth low-ends which oscillate into oblivion, whereas "Generation" is a nutty, twisted downtempo drum workout. "Parade" is perhaps our favourite moment, where Violante goes for an old-school NY vibe recalling some of Larry Levan's best DJ moments. TOP TIP!

Review: Also known as techno producer Obtane, Francesco Baudazzi has been raking up the audio muck of his studio as Violet Poison for a good few years now, with albums gracing Hospital Productions and Opal Tapes amongst others. This latest release marks the beginning of Veleno Viola, a label presumably focused on supporting the ominous noise work that Baudazzi puts his creative energy into these days. His is a dense, overwhelming sound that prizes industrial blasts and heavy wads of distortion, with the odd dash of sinister vocals lurking somewhere in between the cloying layers of noise. For all of that sonic antagonism, there is a human heart beating away underneath the rubble and it makes for a compelling listen.

Review: The world seems to be rapidly splitting in two again, or perhaps separating into 200 or so pieces, division driven by simple minds. So Vision's Checkpoint Charlie is certainly a release for our times. After just two decades in which planet and people at least pretended to be actively striving to unite, the rhetoric of nationalism, distrust, and imperialistic ambitions has returned to the main stage.
At times like this, what do you need? How about a huge synth pop anthem that sounds like it was created in the latter stages of the Cold War, boasting lyrics like "Don't fight love now", an apocalyptic air to the melodic refrains, and these huge, punchy drum beats? Instantly impactful, if the music industry was as it used to be when Checkpoint Charlie was in operation as one of the few places to legally cross from East to West Berlin, this would likely be the week's highest new Top 40 entry.

Collective Vision EP (12" + MP3 download code in hand-stamped sleeve limited to 200 copies)
Cat: RE 35. Rel: 26 May 22
Review: Adam O'Hara's surreal ambient-drone debut 'Eyes Open' was a cerebral, yet relaxing experience, though on his latest EP, the drone influences take more of a spotlight. On the opening track 'Hearing the Scent of the Colour Red' and on the title track, incorporating gentle rhythmic percussion and other spliced samples to conjure an almost alien experience. The journey climaxes on 'I Am Your Geometry' where a mixture of glitched noise and increasing cicada sound produces an atmosphere of extraterrestrial unease, not unlike the feelings conjured by the paintings of Alex Grey, from which the EP was named after. The 1995 oil painting shows a surreal tunnel of eyes, looking passively up towards a warm light. Collective Vision is a textural dive into exploration of the unknown, is a thought-provoking listen and is well deserving as a unique collectors piece.

Review: First launched way back in the early 2000s, 4 Hero man Marc Mac's Visioneers project - which also features extensive contributions from fellow producer Luke Parkhouse - has tended to be a vehicle for his love of jazz and hip-hop. This two-track seven-inch single is a little different though. Title track 'Red Cactus', for example, sounds like an all-live mixture of heavy funk, the Chemical Brothers' sample-rich 'Block Rockin' Beats' and the kind of library funk that once appeared on the soundtracks of obscure spaghetti westerns. Flipside 'Issmak' is, if anything, even funkier and heavier - a kind of Blaxploitation-late 60s spy movie soundtrack mash-up full to bursting with heavy drum breaks, heavier bass and flanged guitar licks aplenty.

Review: One of the spearheads of the vanguard of grime production in the modern age, Visionist knows a thing or two about crafting haunting soundscapes underlined by sub testing bass. This latest release pops up on Ramp and finds the producer on especially spooky form, not least on the title track. Synthesised vocal hums make up the lead melody in a move that comes on like "Moments In Love" for a disenfranchised 21st century, while the bass pulses out in a sparse mix that positively drips with restrained malicious intent. "Secrets" is a touch chirpier, letting a 4/4 kick nudge the track along while the synth lines add a more optimistic tone to the minimalist production ethic.
