Subterraneans (limited 12")
Cat: N 057. Rel: 23 Dec 22
Review: The original 'Subterraneans', composed by David Bowie from their 1977 album 'Low', was an emotionally striking piece that illustrated the struggles of withdrawal. German legend Alva Noto teams up with Depeche Mode's Martin Gore and ambient wizard William Basinski to transform the piece into an ephemeral, ghostly number that is almost even more chilling - with ambient synths and vocal echoing that conjure being lost in a deep cave, something almost supernatural at every turn. A truly haunting, yet aurally astounding, cover.

Review: Sam Binga has established himself with boundary-pushing club tracks on labels like Critical and Exit and for this one teamed up with Welfare, a junglist and the Rua Sound label boss. Together they were inspired by the rugged beauty of Conamara, County Galway and began the project in a 300-year-old cottage overlooking the sea in a place free of creature comforts but rich in inspiration. Using a handheld recorder, the duo explored tidal caves, ruins and windswept coastlines while recording the ambient sounds they heard on the way and then turned them into these deeply textured dub compositions through live desk mixing at Dubkasm's studio.

Pulse (12")
Cat: TTT 057. Rel: 13 Mar 17
Review: The partnership of Kassem Mosse and Beatrice Dillon; Dillon Wendel is a place for the two respected artists to explore soundscapes, aesthetics and synthesis in pastures aeons away from the dancefloors they're most familiar with. Both compositions weighing in over 15 minutes, they're experiences which challenge form and convention; "Pulse" ripples with its namesake, a texture that buzzes and drones in endless waves while "High" mutates a warmer, grainer tone with dizzying effect.

Colette Call (blue vinyl 10")
Cat: COLETTECALL 001. Rel: 11 Oct 13
Review: Renowned across the world as a concept store for the well heeled Parisians, Colette have plenty of form when it comes to releasing compilations and their latest, Colette Call, sees them once again invite Kill The DJ's self proclaimed House Music activist Clement Vache to curate proceedings. Featuring the likes of Dean Blunt, DJ Koze and Gramme, Colette Call is as fashionably diverse as one has come to expect from the Parisian hub and it's granted a 10" sampler with contributions from Discodeine and Whitey. Cedric Pilooski and Benjamin Morando's Discodeine project feature with "Aydin" which is lifted off their forthcoming second album; it should be quite the soiree on the evidence here with the voice of Tame Impala's Kevin Parker well suited to the playfully epic sounding arrangement. Complementing this, Whitey offers up another example of his sorely under-rated talent with the plangent punk funk of "No More Right Or Wrong".

Darkness Darkness (12")
Cat: PSY 027LP. Rel: 29 Jun 23
Review: A collaborative new single by sampletronic master Kieran Hebden (aka. Four Tet) and guitarist and composer William Tyler, two acclaimed musicians and both longstanding friends. Part of a recent spewing-forth of Hebden-adjacent material to hit the shelves after the artist's oft-reported-upon "agent of chaos" phase, these two tracks, pressed to a furtive 12", provide a neat counterpoint to that assessment. Rather than a pair of riddim bangers, the record flaunts Hebden's signature electronic textures and Tyler's guitar into a hypnotic, nominally dark soundwhirl, reminiscent of the earliest days of Text, but with a unique edge - a sonic corner never quite scoured before by either artist.

Juniper EP (limited cassette single)
Cat: PITPHSP 76. Rel: 24 Jun 22
Review: Another collaborative effort from the consistently fascinating US ambient kings Past Inside The President, this time with Hendrix - not that one - and Wayne Robert Thomas, whose atmospheric guitar-led work has featured several times on the label before. If the average ambient album has its head in the clouds, this is more grounding, more gamboling in the fields perhaps than floating in the ether, with gentle flute and guitar giving the walls of synth sounds some perspective. That said, the closing track of the four, 'Retract R (Type K)', sizzles away like something by Growing or even Spaceman 3 left to fry in the sun. Magnificent stuff..

Review: Joe Hisaishi's latest release offers a compelling fusion of classical and cinematic music. The compositions, originally crafted for film soundtracks, are reimagined with orchestral arrangements that breathe new life into the pieces. The album showcases Hisaishi's signature style, blending emotive melodies with intricate orchestration. Listeners are treated to a rich auditory experience that highlights the depth and versatility of Hisaishi's work.

Review: Launched back in 2020, Diamonds in the Night is Bordello a Parigi's multi-artist EP series. This is the fifth volume and, like its four predecessors, is firmly focused on peak-time and after-hours dancefloors. Kick and Enrik Schroeder get things going via the spiralling synthesiser melodies, thrusting sequenced bass and hands-aloft Hi-NRG vibes of 'Mezzanotte' - think Giorgio Moroder on steroids and you're close - before Club Mayz drops the darker, more angular and analogue rich Italo-disco throb of 'Princess of Excess'. Martin Mastike's 'Dimensional Mode' is a more pulsating and cheerful chunk of mi-tempo Italo, while WLDV's 'Relax and Enjoy' provides a suitably surging, clattering and breathless conclusion.

Viva La Tamla Motown (7")

Review: KPM Music might just be one of the most expansive music libraries out there, boasting a whopping 30,000 exclusive music tracks for licensing. Some of their earliest pieces are being reissued by Measured Mile, the latest of which appears here in the form of a split 7" by four of the label's most treasured contributors. 'Viva La Tamla Motown' helms up the A-side with wonky, laboured drumming and an excitable rock n' rolly guitar and harmonica. 'Main Chance' brings up the B with a more loungeified flutey strutter.

Review: The DISKANT crew is back in full motion with this new batch of releases, and we're uber glad to see them back on our charts with their improbable technoid infusions. This time, however, the Durian Brothers take a side step and leave the podium to Marsesura, Uwalmassa and Wahono, three enigmatic figures who all make tripped-out percussive badness for all sorts of electornic aficionados. There's an Eastern tint about each of these 4 tracks, each of them spiraling into a reverie with the help of intricate drum folds, cavernous atmospherics, and the hypnotic glow that belongs to pretty much every Diskant bullet. Excellent.

Minimal Signals EP (hand-numbered blue heavyweight vinyl 12" limited to 300 copies)

Review: Spain's Oraculo label are known for coming through with the best new talent among the coldwave circles, and this fine mini compilation is another lesson to all those dabbling in industrial music in this day and age. Stockhaussen starts of deep and chimerical in "Gold Colors", but Factice Factory's "Lodged" offers a more lighthearted slice of 80's reminiscent melodica. Synths Versus Me features with the excellent "Machines Loves Better", and more of the same highgrade pseudo EBM is thrown down by Italy's Marcello Giordani and Werner Karloff. Tip!

My Own Mirror To Stay (12")

Review: My Own Mirror To Stay is a brand new and first-ever compilation from the Sure Thing label. It finds them carefully curating six new artists and welcome them to the family, each with their own personal reflections of the dance floor. Lukas Urban kicks off with supple, seductive and stripped back techno while Soreab layers up prickly percussive layers and Sanguine sinks you into a dream state with his lush ambient pads and skeletal rhythms. The flip side features three more elegantly designed and meticulous bits of techno sound sculpture. The always exceptional Neel has mastered this one too.

Review: Aside from the one Pinch 12", Cold Recordings has largely operated as a platform for the Tectonic boss to promote a new breed of bass fusionist talent; Elmono, Batu, Acre and Ipman have all had early releases on the label. This latest Cold 12" is quite the proposition, introducing the unheralded Latvian talent W3C, whose four-track single, Atmospheric Entry, is the equivalent of an aural slap to the chops. W3C engages us with a deadly quartet of cuts that see industrial techno meet rolling UK-style broken rhythms - how this sounds on a decent soundsystem is something we will be investigating this weekend. If you are a fan of Mumdance and Logos you need to get on this.

Tusk Wax Fourteen (limited hand-numbered & hand-stamped 180 gram vinyl 12")
Cat: TW 14. Rel: 12 May 14
Review: Disco doesn't get any deeper than this: Tim Waine makes his debut on the mighty Tusk with "No Hats", a purring, sludgy stomper that ripples and flutters with the majesty of a Prins Thomas joint. Slowly morphing with a mischievous sense of psychedelia, it's a stone-cold beauty. Need to dive deeper? Jump straight onto the self-explanatory Seahawks' remix. For those who love to plunder even deeper into the dubby depths, then "The Sun Came Out Last Night" and "Maybe You're Awake" are tailor made for you...Spacious beats, distant guitar trembles and lapping analogue textures, they're the ultimate audio floatation tank.

Review: Warm, fuzzy techno shoe gazers Walls are back on their own Ecstatic imprint with a record that sees them move away from the Kompakt-friendly undulations of their career to date and engage with something grittier. "Urals" works around what sounds like modular synth patterns and lightly dressed drum machines of an insistent nature, while gentle licks of guitar slowly peal in over the top for a refined and decidedly cosmic trip. "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" on the flip is a far more visceral affair that slams a hammering arpeggio into squalls of noise and distortion with an EBM pound marching out underneath, drastically more aggressive than the sound Walls made their name on.

Masculinity Is A Wonderful Thing (12" in hand silk screen sleeve)
Cat: WTN 006. Rel: 21 Aug 13
Review: Having established their approach with a clutch of cassette releases, the fledgling Brighton based label Where To Now? expand into 12" territory with a typically gauzy release from caps lock loving WANDA GROUP. Quite brilliantly titled Masculinity Is A Wonderful Thing, this record sees Louis Johnston align two long form productions that apparently pay homage to his Father and Grandfather. Anyone that has sunk into previous WANDA GROUP transmissions on Opal Tapes, Further or NNA Tapes will have some idea of what to expect here; deeply immersive sonics drawn from a collage of sources that leaves you in a hallucinatory state by the time the needle reaches the run out groove on the B Side.

Review: Opal Tapes regular Wanda Group makes the move to Notown with a new pair of aptly disturbed musings that bring an uneasy serenity to the world of industrial noise and found sound experimentation. "A Strain A Meter Below" has a bizarre soulful quality thanks to the distorted vocal that inhabits the track, while drowning piano notes inject some musicality into the spacious surroundings defined only by a distant hum of melody. "Inter 10 (Dragged Out)" is more purposefully ambient, letting harmonious pads drift into mechanics and locomotives of sound and back out again with an eerie calm.

Lost In A Sea Of Trees (repress) (180 gram gatefold double 12")
Cat: SSV 11. Rel: 04 Mar 19
Review: REPRESS ALERT: Wanderwelle comes to Silent Season to explore immersive techno inspired by the early pagan history of Europe. "The Starry Night" makes for a beautiful opening statement on this point, all gently lilting melodies reaching for an emotional peak and loaded with mystery. "Where The Wind Howls" equally lulls your ears with its patient layers of synths feeding into an implied narrative that works wonderfully with the fantastic artwork on this release. "Through The Meadow" has a more overt new age ambient finish, while "Lured By An Unseen Presence" edges a little dub techno influence into the mix. With all eight tracks feeding into this implied tale, this is an album to listen to from start to finish and truly lose yourself in.

The Man From Colours (40th Anniversary reissue) (limited translucent green vinyl 12")
Cat: MAXI 108412. Rel: 21 Dec 22
Review: Dark Entries are masters of reissuing the tunes that are out of the financial reach of many of us. This timeless and utterly singular slice of Italo disco magic was bootlegged originally back in around 2015 and then the label decided to reissue it properly in 2016, with a remastered set of tunes for maximum playback effect. They now issue a special 40th-anniversary version. The 1982 bombshell, originally out on Discomagic Records, goes by the name of 'The Man From Colours' and it is a special track indeed, one that's full of romantic charm, mystery and plenty of proto-house vibes. Its vocals will be embedded in your mind forever upon first listen, and you get an instrumental cut on the flip, too.

Review: Mr Beau Wanzer has already been responsible for some memorable music in 2013 as part of both Mutant Beat Dance and Streetwalker, issuing releases on Light Sounds Dark and Cititrax that rank amongst the favourites of the Juno review staff. Having previously appeared on LIES as part of MBD, Wanzer now makes his full debut with this much awaited self titled three track EP. Ever since Ron Morelli dropped it on a Benji B show earlier this year, the clamour for "Balls Of Steel" has steadily grown to boiling point and the track sounds all the more impressive running up the stylus of a 1210 than it does on shoddy iPlayer bitrate. Based around a unique vocal hook, Wanzer's basically done a Florian Kupfer and delivered unto LIES a hit track that shouldn't really be a hit track. The functional rhythmic nature of "Balls Of Steel" is replicated in the scratchy "Two Orders" whilst "Outside Auto" is a lumbering EBM number reminiscent of Wanzer's work with Traxx.

Review: Fair enough, you might not have expected Beau Wanzer on Jealous God, but you sure have him now! While the US producer's particular brand of techno might be a little rawer than some of the label's previous outings, his sense of comical dread makes for the perfect catalogue addition. This is Wanzer's first LP outside of his own label, and it is perhaps the artist's most diverse and accomplished piece of rotter-techno just yet! Each track has his own devious vocals at the core, shape-shifting like demons on crack across both "Speaker Sisters" and "Kipper Hunks". "He Pushes Meals" offers a dystopian vision of techno, all sleepy and acid-flavoured, "while Shitty Cough 17" unleashes one of the most noxious, deranged blizzards of bass that we've heard all year, followed sublimely by the off-kilter shrieks and twists of "In One Ear" and "Cave Mace". Highly recommended.

Review: There is a ton of sonic scuzz and frosty electronic texture to both cuts on this new limited 12" from Natural Sciences. And that is frankly to be expected when you are dealing with these two artists - the long-time LIEs associate Beau Wanzer goes first with the fucked up drums and gnarly synths, wiry electronics and dark vocal mutterings of 'The Table Scrap'. On the flip is Chicago noise specialist Hieroglyphic Being with 'This Is The Right Time In Human History 2 Be Stupid.' It's a lo-fi and fuzzy world of busted drum loops and anxious synths.

Overspill Estates (180 gram "purple fade" vinyl 12" + MP3 download code)
Cat: CIS 15812. Rel: 11 Apr 25
Review: Holding up a mirror to modern overflows of living capital, which impugn our many British 'urbs, Gordon Chapman-Fox (aka. Warrington Runcorn New Town Development Plan) presents 'Overspill Estates', the follow-up release to 2024's full-length LP Your Community Hub. As with all other basic life necessities, new-build estates - repackaged as commodities - require excessive production for developers to maintain illusions of value. The irony at the heart of Chapman-Fox's project, however, is that the ideology driving the edification of the UK's post-war planned communities was the overspill of people, not space. Unlike the overflow of unlivable space characterising big cities like London and Manchester, "overspill" in places like Basildon, Cwmbran, Redditch and Letchworth referred to densely compacted, deprived populations from other areas. As objects become subjects and vice versa, full-length records from cheekily sobriqueted electronic music producers likewise need glimpses of the cutting room floor, and this retrofit rollick through four further mind-benders proves how (satisfyingly) long things can take to gestate.

Building A New Town (limited 'gold & autumn leaves' splattered vinyl 12" + MP3 download code)
Cat: CIS 126. Rel: 30 Aug 23
Review: After his last LP The Nation's Most Central Location, Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan changes tack with Building A New Town. While the former album was bitterly retro-modern and ironically hauntological - reflecting the grim "realities" of urban decay, accelerated by the last half-Century's neoliberal experiment, as has much of his work has done up until now - Building A New Town implies a more fantastic idyll, a self-built dreamworld where real consensus and timber-founded democracy truly take precedent. More Walter Segal than Margaret Thatcher, this is a shorter album of pristine guitars and dulcimers, with the likes of 'A Fresh Dawn For North Cheshire', 'The View From Halton Castle' and 'Solid Foundations' getting at an almost Medieval peace-state in guitar and Moog, a paean to unshackling oneself from ghastly relations of power. Still, though, the haunting scar of the past remains rooted in the music as ever; this time it's heard in the album's whistly, far-away synthwork, which glides over each guitar progression like a fading spectre.

Review: We're not sure of Waswaas's background or identity - The Trilogy Tapes has released no information about their latest signing - but this debut 12" is quietly impressive. Its five tracks tend towards the creepy and paranoid, with the mystery artist wresting maximum atmosphere and mind-mangling freakiness from what sounds like an impressive range of analogue and modular synthesizers. Some of it sounds like inspired Radiophonic Workshop soundtracks to a particularly weird lost episode of Doctor Who from the early 1970s, while other numbers are far more forthright and, frankly, chilling. It's a winning combination though, and one that we'd recommend exploring further.

Review: Japanese guitarist Kazumi Watanabe has been a treasure of leftfield music in the Far East since the 70s, and Jazzy Conscious are doing a great service in highlighting the delicate talents of this gifted artist for a new generation. There's a new age lilt to the looped up melodic chime patterns that course through "Garuda" as they flirt with Watanabe's effervescent playing. Kuniyuki then hops on the B side to deliver a contemporary remix of the track that shapes out a brooding, immersive atmosphere populated by earthly drums and looming reverb.

Review: This CD continues the collaboration between Chris Watson and BJ Nilsen, which began with 'Wind' [Ash International, 2001] and 'Land' [Touch, 2001] and comprises 3 tracks, 2 solo and 1 collaboration. Chris Watson writes: "During December 2000 several significant storm fronts developed across the North Sea and Scandinavia. Benny remarked to me that he had recorded some of these on the Baltic coast and proposed a collaborative CD project based around our mutual interests in the rhythms and music created when the elements combine over land and out to sea. We spent the next few years gathering recordings on our respective coastlines and islands during the very active weather windows during the autumnal equinox and winter solstice. This was focused around our following one particular cyclonic system, which veers over Snipe Point on Lindisfarne to the Isle of May in the Firth of Forth, and finally descends upon Öland and Gotland where Benny listened in with a favourite pair of Sennheiser omni directional microphones."

Review: The latest Buzzin Fly release is a plush double-pack collection of remixes of Ben Watt from just two artists. The fact that those two artists are Charles Webster and Ewan Pearson tells you all you need to know about the kind of highly developed musicianship and production that has fed into each version on this release. Webster takes on "Golden Ratio", offering up his trademark sumptuous melodies with that little bit of heartbreak house woven in, and also turns out a surprising and somewhat Balearic "Golden Retouch" that ditches the dancefloor for acoustic pleasantries. Ewan Pearson's edit of "Nathaniel" stretches the track out into a bold and kosmische-infused epic, with an instrumental option on the flip for those who aren't looking for the vocal turn.

Review: One-off masterpiece release of German minimal synthpop from Gutersloh, Germany in 1984. Recorded in a DIY recording studio in a former prison for the mentally ill, located on the outskirts of a forest near the artists' homes, aptly named Prison Studio, in 1984, the release was privately pressed on 7" by the band itself, distributed in limited quantities and has changed hands only a few times on public marketplaces since its original release. Wave Shape's Transmission has always been as rare as it is good, to quote Basso. Now, the release is made available again to collectors and DJs as the first release on Average. Included in this 12" repress are two stunning new remixes by virtuoso producers and friends Alexander Arpeggio and Aradea Barandana, each bringing their own flavour to the table.

Review: Marking the start of an exciting new collaborative project, Wolf + Lamb proudly share the debut release of The Waves & Us. Formed out of
a creative meeting of minds between Maayan Nidam, Markus Nikolaus and Louis McGuire, theirs is a sound that strengthens the storied
approach of a live band with the experimental thrust of analogue electronics. Pop and rock fundamentals lend an earthly hook to the
tracks, but these are anything but straight-forward songs.
Maayan has already forged a formidable career in electronic music, both under her own name and as part of Mara Trax, scoring releases
on such celebrated labels as Perlon. Markus performs his own solo project Cunt Cunt Chanel, while Louis is part of Ballet School, a band
releasing on noted indie label Bella Union. The whirlwind of creativity that has whipped up around the trio has yielded an album which will
follow this single, made up of one-take recordings that capture the energy and adventure that powers The Waves & Us.
Maayan's electronics provide the atmospheric backdrop to the songs, running modular synthesisers and drum machines through detailed
chains of processing and effects with an emphasis on a warm, charmingly rough finish. Markus' guitar undergoes a similar fuzzy treatment
while his voice calls out introspective, abstract lyrics to set the mind racing. Louis' bass underpins the music with a dubby sensibility,
bringing a necessary balance to the frequency range.
Making the most of their in-the-room recording approach, the singles will feature alternative takes of the songs that will appear on the
album, providing a little insight into the flutters and fluctuations that shape the development of this project. With their eyes fixed on live
performances and an arresting sound already formed, this is a vital time for all three artists and the people that listen to them.

Review: We Are Not Brothers are an electronic music band from the post-industrial, anarchist and revolutionary town of Alcoi, Pais Valencia - formed in 2006. Comprised of Blai Antoni Vano, Damia Llorens Pico, Francisco Sancho Blanquer and Rafeta, this is (like the name suggests) their third full length release. They borrow respectfully from fellow Spanish legends like Geometrico Esplendor (who they've supported live: as heard on opening cut "La Conoci En Un Concierto De Esplendor Geometrico" while sounding like contemporaries such as The Horrorist or Vatican Shadow. It's a fairly fierce and abrasive affair, featuring layers of contorted and textured greyscale electronics, plus violent vocal styles. Just check some of the titles - "Europe Is Dead" a pummeling riot ready anthem featuring Spanish scene heroine Ana Curra) or the seething "121 Xemeneies" (feat Hugo Mas).

Review: Hallucinating Gnarly Spring Breakers.Following a swathe of rock-solid EPs from Walton and Pessimist, Ilian Tape ITX sub-label welcomes back Munich man Konrad Wehrmeister for the first time in three years. What's on offer is a mini album of hazy and occasionally dubby techno mutations, some of which sound like they were designed for the deepest of dancefloors. Many of the melodic elements on show are built around abstract electronic textures, while the rhythms flit between bold and brassy (see the breathless techno-jack of 'Senking' and bustling, breakbeat-driven IDM of 'TR10'), and sparse and spaced-out ('Ous' and '80L', both of which put a new, off-kilter spin on dub techno). Throw in a couple of woozy ambient numbers and you've got a great EP on undulating electronic goodness.

It's impressive how quickly the label have grown since their debut in 2013, and we respect them greatly for remaining in the shadows instead of pumping out social content on a regular basis. Moreover, we're big fans of Wieghtausend, an artist who has defined their most recent tone of voice, and one who we'll likely be seeing a lot more of in the coming years. The dude's back with his twisted, intricate sound experiments, and "Went Berserk" hammers its stumbling waves of drums over skeletal bursts of synth sonics that sound like they were conceived in the midst of a nuclear war. If you're fans of anything like Container, Don't DJ or Nisennenmondai then this is your gear. The following tune, "Grun Ded" is perhaps yet more special thanks to its addition of dub-filtered percussion stabs, hollow walls of reverb and a strangely UK kind of beat flex.

Review: Haunter Records, the Milanese experimental threshold pushers and the mob behind the city's notorious Macau squat parties. are back with Weightausend aka Matthias Gerrardi, his second release for the label. "Green Death" in its original form is fairly restrained yet a cleverly executed system of bass therapy. But it's the industrial strength polyrhythms of "Meet Your Doom!" where he really finds his sound. The remix by Christoph De Babalon draws the track out with a long and nefarious dark ambient intro until the drums come in, in spectacular fashion.

Sound Music 45s Collection Vol 1 (hand-numbered yellow vinyl 7" limited to 150 copies)
Cat: DYNAM 7129Y. Rel: 04 May 23
Review: A unique slice of classic library music flies off the shelf. These four tracks were lifted from the classic library music series known only as 'Sounds Music Album Volume 18', and were made by the library maestro Klaus Weiss, the former jazz drummer who later turned to the trade after falling in with German music publisher Ring Musik. An eerie uncanniness cuts across these instrumentals, as Weiss' drumming provides steady boppage to serene yet dubious backings of strings and synth.

Sound Music 45s Collection Vol 1 (limited 7")
Cat: DYNAM 7129. Rel: 04 May 23
Review: Klaus Weiss was a German jazz drummer who left behind a rich legacy of library music, especially on the series of Sound Music albums for Golden Ring Records in the late 70s-early 80s. In the digging era, Weiss' impeccable grooves now fetch serious prices second hand, and so be thankful for the likes of Dynamite Cuts reaching over into the world of library music reissues to pull four perfect joints from unreachable realms back into the hands of real music fans. From low down nasty funk to space-age star gazing, Weiss packed a lot into these tracks, and now you can cop them on a sureshot 7".

Sound Music 45s Collection Vol 3 (translucent red vinyl 7" limited to 150 copies)
Cat: DYNAM 7131RED. Rel: 04 May 23
Review: This great series from Dynamite Cuts continues to delve deep into the alluring world of library music. It is sound that captures real feelings and evokes all sorts of memories, even those that are imagined, with a single note or seductive groove. This collection is made of tracks from the German Library series Sound Music Albums which sell for over L150 if you can find a copy. There are four tunes in all, three from Klaus Weiss and one from Peter Thomas, all of which add up to another great collection and a must for serious music heads.

Sound Music 45s Collection Vol 3 (limited 7")
Cat: DYNAM 7131. Rel: 04 May 23
Review: The work of legendary drummer turned library musician Klaus Weiss continues to be reissued. For this series, Dynamite Cuts are looking back on a mid-1970s series of EPs released by Weiss originally for the famous library Sound Music. Carrying a minimal production that still has appeal for the modern listener (don't Dynamite know it), the four tracks here are curt, squelchy and beat-centric, with highlights including the clavichord-wacky 'Frogs', the sonically obese 'Productive Facilities', and the space-age drum freakout 'Coordinates Meeting'.

Review: Typically, General Elektro isn't giving much away about the identity of the producers behind "new collaboration" Westend, or their aims for the project for that matter. Musically, it's a quietly impressive debut that features a sextet of tracks mostly built around gently undulating synthesizer arpeggio lines and moody electronics. Many of the tracks are stripped-back, hypnotic and beat-less, deriving their power from the relentless thrust of the arpeggio lines that ripple across the sound space. Others, meanwhile, include ghostly electro drums or, in the case of the bombastic "Track 4", the kind of no-nonsense, kick-drum-driven beats that were once a feature of the greatest Electronic Body Music releases.

Review: From their Philadelphia base, the Great Circles label has proved a worthy if intermittent outlet for the region's ever vibrant experimental electronic scene, with founder Justin Gibbon's having created the label out of the momentum built up from the long running Inciting events series he's been involved in. Perhaps the label's greatest achievement to date is shining a light on the underscore loving _moonraker project that Metasplice's Kenneth_Lay does with Jason Carr, exposing them to the keen ear of TTT boss Will Bankhead who issued their Lowjit Vagrants EP earlier this year. Gibbon himself has been experimenting with production for some time, previously working as Pandemix, and he makes his Great Circles debut here as Westov Temple with a four track EP that typifies the label's self styled shifty take on house and techno, offering a keen balance between improvisational electronics and a definite sense of meditativeness.

Wild Man (limited translucent white vinyl 7")
Cat: SNOWFLAKE 34. Rel: 28 Nov 24
Review: Whatitdo Archive Group goes deep with Wild Man, diving headfirst into the eerie side of holiday folklore. This isn't your average Christmas fare; Side A's 'Wild Man' pulses with heavy, driving bass and swirling wah-guitar that captures the energy of dark legends like Krampus and the Yeti. On the flip side 'Greensleeves' takes on a haunting Ethio-jazz edge, stretching the familiar tune into shadowy, hypnotic territory. Each track is a bold reimagining, blending ancient mythology with grooves fit for any late-night winter gathering that dares to step off the beaten path.

Review: Hailing from Reno and steeped in cinematic atmosphere, Whatitdo Archive Group return with a single preceding their anticipated new album Palace Of A Thousand Sounds. Coming to us via Record Kicks, 'Forbidden Cove' finds the band leaning in on their strong suits in soul and funk while retaining that widescreen, world-building quality which has marked them out since their 2021 debut LP The Black Stone Affair. Don't sleep on the B-side 'The Cashmere Chamber', which takes us deeper into their smoky, vintage sound.

Review: Frustratingly, I-F's Viewlexx label is keeping tight-lipped about this rather fine EP. They've offered no details of the artist behind the project - or anything else for that matter - and their promotional spiel consists of one line in Latin. What we can tell you is that it's a suitably dystopian affair, with the mystery producer launching with a chunk of industrial-tinged experimental electronica (the decidedly fuzzy "Initiation"), before joining the dots between Cabaret Voltaire and Drexciya on the decaying dancefloor electro pomp of "Flight From Reason". Some will detect a nod towards Test Department on "Refuse Resist" and "Instrument of Power". Elsewhere, there's a looser and more alien feel to "Circle of Trust", while closer "The Wheel of Rituals" is deliciously dark and hypnotic.

Seven Nation Army (The Glitch Mob remix) (limited 1-sided etched red vinyl 7")
Cat: 081007 442020. Rel: 09 Aug 21
Review: Given their dedication to delivering Los Angeles beat music that's grittier, weirder and heavier than their contemporaries, we can see the logic in getting the Glitch Mob to remix White Striples classic 'Seven Nation Army'. The version they've come up with, which is showcased on this limited-edition, single-sided seven-inch, strikes the right balance between showcasing the LA trio's trademark style and utilising the most infectious (and best-loved) elements of the White Stripes' original. Haunting, heavily processed and intense, their version brilliantly manipulates the original guitar riff and vocal while adding fuzzy new electronic sounds that just intensify as the track progresses. It's a raw, lo-fi stomper all told and one that should appeal to fans of both artists.

Review: Clifford White is the kind of 80s curio that Emotional Rescue love so dearly - a bedroom keyboard warrior who happened to catapult to professional studio environs in the blink of an eye. The two tracks pressed up here previously appeared on a 1989 LP in an abridged version - White has returned to both tracks and stretched them out to enhance their playability in the dance. Both "Lifestream" and "Rain Trek" aren't your typical party starters though - rather they're lilting, uplifting synth expressions strapped to a mixable beat. That's exactly why they've been hot property on the Balearic scene for a long time, and now they're available in loud-cut, blissfully extended form for the modern heads to get dreamy to.
