Bumpin, efficient grooves with lots of swing and kinetic action. This is well in line with what listeners have come to associate with the extreme DIY approach and presentation of this series, in this case simply a stickered whitelabel. It’s the 8th entry into the self-released catalog, all rhythm tracks tuned for maximum impact in [&hellip[ READ MORE ]

Fat, full-on, rumbling acid techno sounds from 2AMFM. The dazzling duo are D’Marc Cantu and Tadd Mullinix (JTC). Since surfacing on Spectral Sound in 2005, they’ve been delivering similarly roots techno assaults sporadically across the world, on imprints like Dope Jams, M>O>S, Nation, and Creme Organization. Here they appear on the Californian Secret Studios imprint. The a-side [&hellip[ READ MORE ]
There’s a lot of sound to get through here: the first side features NYC Garage house courtesy of Groovestyle (a seldom used Eric Miller alias) and Tommye. Then on the flip, Scottish Funk D’Void channels some Detroit high-tech soul and Vil-N-X digs up their 1992 house jam What Cha Gonna Do. The next disc is [&hellip[ READ MORE ]
Nas1 is a versatile producer out of Italy. Band Sky is Nas1’s second (mini)album. Clocking in at only around a half an hour, it manages to cram in a variety of moods and textures. It’s instrumental electronic music, ranging from lo-fi EBM (Robodance, Sei Venuta A Qui) to downtempo funk (Luce Verde (Cut A Ree), [&hellip[ READ MORE ]

This record displays 4 tracks geared in the direction of acid house and electro. The EP consists of repetitive loops of vocal samples, quite a bit of squelch, square waves, and what seems like a mostly monophonic palette. “Elastic” is first up, featuring rave-esque squelch and a sample of the hi-hats from Fast Eddie’s “Hip [&hellip[ READ MORE ]

Gramaphone & Smartbar resident SOLD teams up with SoundInBetween for another of their party series at up-and-coming Palmer Square stomping ground Cafe Mustache. Like a ferocious lizard emerging from its cavern of baked-goods, Caught Up fearlessly admonishes soulful weirdos to leave virtuality and enjoy an omnivorous buffet of house and funk. Mustache is at 2313 N [&hellip[ READ MORE ]
HVL features on the third release for Chicago / LA Hesperian Sound Division. It’s a good range of material, the B side lurches between dense, swampy acid-house and airy, dubby downtempo, the A side has tight tech house paired with a groove bubbling up from underwater. While these are all beat-driven pieces (to varying degrees) [&hellip[ READ MORE ]
Gandu welcomes its 2nd release with another joint effort from various artists. Lifecoach gets things underway with a deep house contribution that features a euphonius chord. Fiend contributes to the A-side’s drizzly vibe with circling harmonic samples; the percussion in this track is a little more aggressive than its antecedent. The B-side is more techno [&hellip[ READ MORE ]

An artist and label debut from Sovereign State here, this divergent record explores a variety of downbeat techno styles. From the grimey, acidic house of Sullen Landscape and Parasite to the downtempo lurch of Watercooler Cyborg, to the optimistic ambient house of Taking form and earthy Sunday Intermude, it’s a tour of introspective, melodic, atmospheric yet [&hellip[ READ MORE ]
Tadd Mullinix (a.k.a James T. Cotton) releases a 2-disc LP for his own label Bopside. The album is made up of mostly beat-y techno tracks, making this outing pretty clubby, though not over the top. The first 3 tracks are the most appealing to me. “Caskadia” starts things off with interesting textures and cold, almost [&hellip[ READ MORE ]
