Shaddock’s sixth outing features the young talented L.A. based artist Jeremy Berman aka Factory Aire, including remixes by two longtime companions DJ Stingray and Atom™ as well as the ominous Auxon.nThe original title – B.O.Y is an epic-futuristic track, rich in complexity and varied melodic levels subtley playing with heavy, stomping beats. DJ Stingray delivers a stunning rework with his unique, fast paced blend blurring the borders between Jungle, Electro and Bass Music while Atom™, returns to his old Acid House heights dropping a 120 bpm house killer. Auxon’s high-energy rerub puts a more modern touch to this disco-spacey crusade adding some vital sparks of trance.

Jupiter Jazz – Booty Jazz [ELL011]

Jupiter Jazz dropping their inaugural EP ‘Booty Jazz’ are sucking the dancefloor into their flaming orbit and leaving all inhabitants senses back on earth. ‘Shake It Mama’ launches the booty theme with a vortex of dirty, dark 80s electro, growling low-end and Cameo style vocoder while a smoother groovier deeper vibe shimmers through ‘Technology’ on the b-side. Taking a weirder turn ‘Good Girl’ seals the package with a sleazy male vocal line, tight drums and hypnotic pads. So let Jupiter Jazz drag you into the black hole of ‘Booty Jazz’ for some intergalactic misbehavior.

‘Walking The Streets’ is the second single to be taken from Mock & Toof’s latest acclaimed album ‘Temporary Happiness’. This remix 12″ offers a return to the dancefloor sound that M&T started out with and features the vocals of album collaborator Ghostape. Dutch synth wizard Legowelt twists the track into a 90s breakbeat rave mover with a squelchy acid gurgle to move things along. Rephlex’s DMX Krew takes on the B-side, dropping killer analogue acid house vibes along the way.

Holland’s FAH (aka Robin de Bekker) presents his album of braindance influenced electro Fahzers Set To Earth. Tight, punchy electrobass riddims, operating on the cusp of Rephlexian electro a la DMX Krew and Drexciyan aqua-funk, Fah cycles from the skating 808 patterns of ‘Not Enough Fahzers’ to the whirring syncopations and jazz chords of ‘Casting The Rod’ on the front, while paying tribute to James Stinson on the flipside’s woozy ‘Glowism’ and the skewed, angular hyperfunk programming of ‘Magnetic Freedom’.

Jodey Kendrick – Steel Erector [CAT206CD]

February 7, 2013February 22, 2019 hipodromeacid, detroit, electro, jodey kendrick, rephlexLeave a comment

Rephlex hooked up with Jodey Kendrick. One might say it’s very Drexciyan or Aphexy music, but that’s because it’s rooted in Rephlex’s favourite genres of New York Disco, Chicago House and Detroit Techno, though with a certain mystery something special added. Careful use of microtuning and analogue tweaking, combined with a very British pastoral quality, Jodey provides us with something pleasurable and original to listen to every time. This album is the accompaniment to Jodey Kendrick’s other recent album, Plus Ten. Jodey has worked long hours for the last eight and a half years as a steel fabricator on some of London’s largest buildings but this hasn’t stopped him from amassing a library of hundreds of tunes, a reflection of his passion and drive for music, hence the Steel Erector album.

The Ghost That Walks – Angry Angels EP [SAT043]

February 7, 2013November 13, 2018 hipodromeelectro, paul bishop, satamile, techno, the ghost that walksLeave a comment

Having been dormant for over three years, New York label Satamile returns to continue spreading the gospel of proper electro music with a six-track EP from The Ghost That Walks. Drexciya enthusiasts will be all over this record; the rubbery melody of “The Angriest Angel” recalls the Detroit duo at their most playful but with a simmering undercurrent of tension that is very much the producer’s own signature style. Similarly great are the searing analogue synth buzz of “Seven Deadly Sons”, the tribal 303 stomp of “Urban Jungle” and the 808 rattle and Belgian rave tones of “Resident Evil”.

Versalife aka Boris Bunnik returns to the Clone West Coast Series for more under sea level electro-techno. After his debut 12inch series Night Time Activities, here a full length album inspired by the horizons and emptyness of his home lands in Friesland. Accompanied by beautiful artwork of fellow Frisian, and one of Hollands most talented painters, Robert Zandvliet (who happens to have his atelier around the corner of the Clone Hq). His amazing painting ”Winter by Jouswier” (spread among the front and backside of the digipack) symbolizes perfectly the rhythm of the open spaces in Friesland. Especialy in the whitened more abstract and cold winter landscape thats almost synonym for Versalife’s abstract ice cold electro techno.

February 3, 2013August 1, 2019 hipodromealbum, disco, electro, funk, house, moon b, peoples potential unlimited, sean sandersLeave a comment

Synth funk album by Atlanta Georgia artist Moon B released on Peoples Potential Unlimited. There’s a strong boogie presence across the 11 untitled tracks, but it doesn’t stop at your usual sleazy fare. There are also plaintive moments of refined introspection, and a constant display of production skills, albeit draped in the crust and charm of those archaic music-making means. If you’re a fan of the likes of Dam-Funk and can’t enough of that heady 80s funk flex, then this record should have you bumping and grinding for months to come.

Portuguese duo Photonz curate Dead Cities compilation – whose title is inspired by the Future Sound of London album of the same name – which is the most articulate expression yet of their love of warped electronic music. Limiting the selection to a group of artists who are close, local Portuguese talent is prominent and due to this tightly-knit approach, there is a cohesive sound on the compilation, but it could never be called smooth or polished.
