Phil Berg drops ‘Raid’, via Setaoc Mass’ SK Elevent imprint, with four teeth-gritty techno numbers of the utmost immediacy and expediency. Like the immaculate inner workings of a giant snake-mech, hell-bent on seeking out and nullifying all lifeforms in its path, comes the mathematic undulations of ‘Y-Axis’ and the toothily electric acid zaps of ‘Raid’, while B-sider ‘Kamino’ gears us up for a final standoff with the beast. Finally, ‘Sinara’ hears the mech vanquished, leaving room for some meditatively serene padwork, though the drums stay ever-present, keeping us hot on our toes for potential future encounters of the same sort.
London-based label Release Sustain announces the release of a brand new EP by Chicago’s Jamal Moss, Mathematics Recordings label head, one of the most uncompromising artists in the game. Famed for his raw, lo-fi approach to house, he messes with the rules and makes unpredictable, unforgettable sounds like few others. Here he arrives on London’s Release Sustain with four cuts of relentless drum programming and acid melodies that traverse the line between house and techno. From the slow and wonky opener to the coruscated ‘The Dark Hold of the Bold’ via the distorted and deprived ‘The Nu Glance Sound’ this is a fine EP.
Frame Of Mind present the latest from Dutch producer Gerd. The EP it’s launches with the metallic drum chatter, analogue aesthetics and cosmic house bump of ‘Kosmos Tour’ before exploring lovely lazy deep house on ‘Red Girl’, dancefloor darkness on ‘Videophonic’ old school Virgo-esque Chicago sounds on ‘Fractalz’. Beautiful early Detroit-inspired House and Techno tracks. Yet another timeless EP from this master.

Ed Upton is back to Shipwrec for his sixth release with the label. The British musician has crafted icy electro, thoughtful electronica and textured techno and ‘Tree in Space’ is a combination of these styles. Blending a spread of sounds, acid, braindance and techno, DMX Krew serves up something truly special. Brooding notes are met by cracked percussion and simmering 303 squawk in a track that pursues its own path. An EP from a musician that continues to stretch boundaries and imaginations.
