Mono Junk – Skudge White 010 [SKUDGEWHITE010]

Cool new material from from Kimmo Rapatti. It pitches the 303 against colourful, synth fuelled-backgrounds and rattling drum machines programmed in a manner that don’t sound tried or retrospective.

Xamiga – Bohemian Grove [SNBV004]

Foggy dreamy tracks by The Xamiga duo. Xosar and Legowelt re-boot their production partnership. Given both artists passion of intergalactic electronics, classic synthesizers and creaky old drum machines, it’s little surprise to find Bohemian Groove packed with spacey techno rhythms, glistening electronics and almost suffocating chords.

Juju & Jordash – Down To The Roach EP [DKMNTL026]

“The longtime Dekmantel affiliated duo Juju & Jordash (Gal Aner, Jordan Czamanski) helped shape our club nights, festivals, label and other music endeavors to what they stand for today. In other words: without these jazz trained cats, there wouldn’t be a Dekmantel. It’s with great anticipation that we announce Dekmantel release #8 (!) from these utterly talented musicians. DKMNTL026 is a club friendly yet sophisticated four tracker that is as abstract as it is deep, and as elegant as it is effective. Raw, energetic stuff for your peak time bag!”

Haunted Doorbell – Unconnected Thoughts On Jacking [COTF007]

HAUNTED DOORBELL - Unconnected Thoughts On Jacking

Haunted Doorbell are Timothy J. Fairplay and Matilda Tristram. ‘Unconnected thoughts on jacking’ is four tracks of naive melodies, rough slamjack drums, and new age atmospheres. ‘Starclash’ kicks off side A, with its dramatic arpeggios and SID chip crashes, Techno to soundtrack the Saturday night laser show at the planetarium. Following is ‘A night of adventure’ with its eastern scales and washy broken chorus unit hiss. On side B we have ‘Beautiful Sheffield’ – an ode to electronic music’s (possibly) most important British city and the title track rounds of the EP – house music for listening to while looking out to sea.
