Yuksek - I Don't Have A Drum Machine
Maybe not the most inventive or game-changing track you'll ever come across, but a beautiful, groovy homage to the life and love inherent in disco.
Haywyre - Panorama: Form
Another exceptional EP from Haywyre, both in the cohesiveness of the tracks and the dazzling display of musicianship in each. Form makes his tour even more of a must see.
Low Steppa - You're My Life
The kind of quality we've come to expect from both Low Steppa and Defected. Delightfully dancey.
Undercatt - Cadabra / Vegas
Big time builds whose payoffs are more than worth the wait. That said, the journey is an enjoyable one.
Fake Blood - The Fear / Garms
Theo has not lost a step, he's as unique and hypnotizing as ever. Dark and brooding brilliance.
Blossom - Big Shot
Night Bass never misses and Blossom brings some really tough stuff for her debut there. The blend of bass house, garage and grime, especially in "Anime" is sick.
Feed Me - High Street Creeps
Not quite the same raw, raucous electro I first enjoyed from Feed Me, but still as powerful as ever. The diverse deliveries include fire in "Barrel Roll" and "Satanic Panic" and resplendent restraint in "Feel Love" and "Defiant." Certainly Feed Me's most polished product.
Modeselektor - Who Else
Wickedly cool creations, at times incredibly jacking and perhaps even killer in "Fentanyl," others more melodic and slow burning. Straddling the line between the two, "Wealth" is my favourite of the bunch.
Rusko - MEGARAD
While there's been countless artists follow in the footsteps of Rusko, no one does it quite like him and this EP is the perfect example of that. He and the EP have both got range and energy for days, and I fully expect these tracks to be rinsed for for the foreseeable future. I'm here for all of the tracks, but I just can't get enough of the nostalgic vibes "Hardcore Raven" doles out.
