L.D. Nero – Be The Light [POM26]
L.D. Nero graces Pomelo with profound house rhythms. ‘Be the Light’ features a very catchy hook over deep strings and sparse but effective rhythmic programing, achieving an ethereal summer tune, floating and hypnotic, but grounded in the low end. The flip features two extremely stripped down house grooves, applying subtle changes and transitions for maximum effectiveness on the dancefloor.
Innergaze – Shadow Disco [SILK008]
100% Silk return with another exceedingly alluring drop, this time from Aurora Halal and Jason Letkiewicz aka Innergaze. Lithe, sexy post-punk disco is the vibe, NYC in 1981/2011 is the setting for ‘Shadow Disco’, strutting to languid dub bassline and preening synth flashes, before ‘Way Of Life’ retires to the balcony to ahem, powder one’s nose and gaze out at glittering harbour lights dancing off glass-curtained high rises. Soon enough the seductive, panther-purring bassline, cooing big-haired women and rippling rototoms of ‘Hypnogogisco’ beckons us back to the middle of the floor and the chick with the biggest hair asks ‘What’s Your Body Doing Tonight’, only it comes out all syrupy slow and you realise you shouldn’t have necked that pint of GHB.

Prison Garde – Système Hermès [FREE DOWNLOAD]
Model Man – Forever Strangers [BAP001]
Model Man is the nom de plume of the diverse Dutch man DJ Overdose. ‘Forever Strangers’ is the second Model Man release with dark dense electro pop, sinister and playful on the new Bordello A Parigi imprint. DJ Overdose brings you pain and sorrow in this melancholic journey to a rainy Parisian whore-house. Don’t expect any joy, just go through the motions and find yourself en route to a deserted subway station in the 13th arrondisement.

Fall On Your Sword – The First Time I Saw Jupiter [DFA2305]
Brooklyn band Fall On Your Sword release on DFA Records. “The First Time I Saw Jupiter” creates an atmosphere of eerie, icy desolation; sounds emit outward in what feels like the loneliness and desertion of space. “Rhoda’s Theme” feels slightly more hopeful and less lonely. The song begins with a soft, repeating keyboard line, and then opens up onto beatific synths. There are slight shifts of shape across its nine-minute duration, as it moves from moments of driven beats and rhythms to sections of gorgeous, nearly orchestral streams of sound.
Kuba Sojka – Berlin News [SLN002]
Polish producer Kuba Sojka with a smoky and nostalgic house on London label Souliner. Title track “Berlin News” utilises multiple layers of expansive pads over an ascending analogue bassline; considering how many elements are jostling for position the effect is impressively reined in. On the B-Side, “Electronic Fever”, the same kind of arrangements are used, but building up to a complex improvised piano melody. The last track “Auster Session” is a collaboration with Electribalt.
Gavin Russom – Night Sky [DFA2289]
DFA Records presents “Night Sky”, a track that grows and grown into an 13 minutes odyssey. The buzzy bottom end enters and expands before Russom’s vocals – alleyway dark and mysterious – make their way in. The song dips and dives, going from barebones synthesizers resting on organic percussion to explosive vocal choruses. The end reunites nearly every sound that made a previous appearance in an ensemble of ecstatic rhythms and noise. Mutant Beat Dance aka Beau Wanzer & Melvin Oliphant III, undo the original and transform it. There are so many new elements to be found here – a thick bassline, shuffling beat, wiry electro etchings, eerie washes of synths that swell unexpectedly and unannounced – it all makes for a collection of sounds that, thankfully, are head swimming in their unique and wonderful unpredictability.

Pacific Horizons – Beaches Of The Black Sea [PWF003]
Two tracks of urban psychedelia from the heart of L.A. “Beaches Of The Black Sea” is an ambitious chugger filled with flamenco guitars and synths. The B-side “Stealing The Fire From Heaven” is a more experimental cut with neo-industrial rhythms and a rolling bassline.
