Timothy J Fairplay – Stories Of Prison [ERS015]
Timothy J Fairplay returns to Emotional Response with a mini-LP of brooding intensity, looking at the deeper, more introspective sounds his solo mission were known for.
Grey People – Trench Foot [CGI008]
Pluralist industrial jackin utopia that is Grey People from the crunchy, dissonant piano stomp of ”Trench Foot, and the equally crunchy, driving, new wave dirge of Moonstruck, to the cosmic drift and thump of ”Lock the Box” and the funked up FM slap-bass of ”Wild Intentions.”

Achterbahn D’ Amour – Odd Movements The Remixes [ASD024]
Achterbahn D’Amour’s machinefunk opus, “Odd Movements.” gets reworked with 4 sonically diverse remixes. Detroit don Marcellus Pittman kicks things off with a massive, unsettling flip of “Holy Roman Empire.” The Italian producer Chevel is up next with a virtuosic take on the LP’s title track. His cubist, artfully restrained version ends with over a minute of icy techno snap. Convextion, as well, chooses to hold back for maximum impact, infusing the moody “Passagen” with subdued electro bounce. Finally, SW. imbuesthe duo’s “Konigstr” with dubbed-out breakbeat pressure, occasionally allowing the original acid line to seep through a skittering rave rhythm.

Juanpablo – The Hideout [FRV017]
Frigio label founder Juanpablo is back, this time with a full five track mini-LP. Darkness gathers above the needle’s edge as the Colombian artist delivers the shadow strewn The Hideout. Abstraction is balanced against dancefloor clout across this quintet of underworld electronics. Rhythms curve and bend, scattering into the blackened chasms of “Chrome Light” and “Shadow’s Color,” before resurfacing into the light of “Indumorg.” The title piece burns with a slow intensity. Sinister coils of Acid drip, skies bruise and ash rains before “They Watching You” closes.
Dramatis Personae – Blasphemie [Vß004]
Design A Wave – International Journey Of Synthetic Emotion [AJ002]
Design a Wave aka Tom Hirst has been making music since the late 90s, via bedroom synth, dictaphone collages and coldwave guitar textures. Since then, he has developing his distinctive blend of experimental synth-wave. This latest EP, International Journey of Synthetic Emotion, comprises of three tracks, introduced by experimental synths and drum patterns of track I. The EP delves into electro dance territory with track II, moving towards off-kilter house on the B-side.

Asok / Baldo – The Guide EP [GRM006]
ASOK – aka Liverpool-based producer Stu Robinson – pops up on Good Ratio Music with two more far-sighted and fuzzy sci-fi-tinged jams. There’s a delicious shuffle to “The Fifth Book” – all bubbling Motor City electronics and foreboding chords – while “Probability Drive” joins the dots between vintage techno and sparse, otherworldly deep house. Flip for two tracks from Barcelona-based Good Ratio regular Baldo, who impresses with the fizzing analogue rhythms, chords and subtle acid of “Axel Nebulae”. His other contribution, “Seventh Dimension”, comes on like the soundtrack to a drunken late night jog through desolate, post-industrial landscapes.
Ike Release – 33ème Pulsation
HNNY – Noth-ing [LT055]
HNNY seems to save his best for Local Talk. “Noth-ing” is a single-sided salvo shot through with the sort of breezy sweetness we’ve come to expect from the Swede. The track itself fuses bubbling flutes and impassioned vocal samples with typically fluid deep house beats, a languid (but heavy) bassline and just the right amount of cosseting pads.
