Sawlin – Eviment [ANN017]
‘Eviment’ is the second release of Sawlin on Delsin off shoot Ann Aimee, made up of three more deep and subterranean techno cuts that play with plenty of textures. Title track ‘Eviment’ is a tortured and paranoid offering that has a nagging vocal stretched out over splashy claps and a foreboding bottom end thud. It’s vast and dark, spare and haunting where ‘Kretze’ is a bigger and bolder track. The analogue percussion and serrated lines all sound old and aged as they mark out a scraping, dystopian vision of a world well away from here. ‘Sour Tear’ has a more syncopated, techno-funk groove but is still padded out with plenty of dubby undercurrents. Sawlin’s percussion sounds are wholly non standard, from clanking metal to twanging strings, everything sounds like a real world sound, which makes his music as arresting as anyone’s, despite being made firmly for the techno backroom.
Carl Taylor – Debbie’s Groove [EPM002V]
Debbie’s Groove sees Carl Taylor in full on jacking mode, with tinges of disco and a stomping beat that will see you heading straight for the nearest dancefloor. Robert Hood turns his hand to Debbie’s Groove adding that magic touch, with a deep bassline, funky claps and a vocal snippet that echoes his Floorplan sound alongside the tougher tech workouts we’re used to hearing from this master technician. Good Vibrations gives us a deeper blend of the house meets techno sound that Carl has become known for, with its tough syncopated groove reaching dizzying heights.

Ma Spaventi – The Jungle / Insanity [MOSDEEP014]
Marco Antonio Spaventi returns on MOS with two tracks. ‘Insanity’ is a mad melange of fizzing electronics, ticking cowbells and swirling atmospheres all pinned to a chugging deep house beat. Raw drum fills and squelchy modulated synth sounds fill nearly every gap, taking you to a place as intense you could imagine for the duration. On the flip, Spaventi’s lo-fi aesthetic gets even more fucked up as he delves deep into the recess of house music with ‘The Jungle’. Crunchy hits, echoing hi hats and a tightly coiled melody all race along next to each other with a slapping drum combination keeping energy levels up down below. Raw and brash yet totally beguiling, it might be some of his best work yet on the ever excellent MOS Deep.
Jared Wilson – A Little Moonlight Dancing [SKUDGEPT006]
Jared Wilson with a double 12″ on Skudge, featuring some deep acid vibes, new school Detroit.

This record includes an amazing and unique remix by Mick Wills featuring Isabella Venis & Intergalactic Gary.
