Tomu DJ: FEMINISTA

Tomu DJ FEMINISTA Side Chick Records FEMINISTA is the debut album by Tomu DJ  but there were EPs and singles ahead of this even a shelved first attempt at a debut long-player (I’m sure that’s often the case, perhaps particularly within the dance genre). Finally, though, a business card for all of the styles and […]

DJ Houseplants: Self-Titled (ep)

DJ Houseplants Self-Titled (ep) 118384 Records DK Seattle-based DJ, producer and designer Justin Av has a new alias – DJ Houseplants. He’s made music for many years across several nom-de-plumes but the bloom of his lo-fi house music is bountiful on this self-titled EP as DJ Houseplants. Just four songs, low-key and liquid-like they trickle […]

Neither Daft Nor Punk

Earlier in the year it was announced that French electronic music duo Daft Punk is calling it a day after 28 years.I’m sure on some level they’ll be back. But if they’re not it was a good run with some great music. I liked a lot of it. Not all of it. But I gave […]

Russell E.L. Butler: Emotional Bangers Only (ep)

Russell E.L. Butler Emotional Bangers Only (ep) Self Release Russell Ellington Langstone Butler makes it pretty clear with the title there that in and around the emotional heft there’s some sardonic, self-deprecating humour. Want it clearer though? Well, how about this: More songs about depression, PTSD, delivery food, and revolutionary action. Lol. But also cry-face […]

Tom Vernon: Amber Fade (ep)

Tom Vernon Amber Fade Lost Palms / Shall Not Fade LTD Look, all I know is when it comes to music labelled House if I can also slap an ambient sign on it then I’m ready to move on in. This, to put it so very squarely, is my jam. Deep, ambient house at that. […]

Tenderlonious: Tek-88 (ep)

Tenderlonious Tek-88 (ep) DAM Records Prolific producer and mult-instrumentalist Tenderlonious returns with an EP as love-letter to the Roland TR-808. Its cover is enough to get hip-hop heads, vinyl purists and studio boffins salivating – and is probably reason alone for the limited edition 12” vinyl to already be gone, long gone. Sold out just […]

Donato Dozzy: The Tao (ep)

Donato Dozzy The Tao (ep) Samurai Music Italian techno DJ and producer Donato Dozzy is a bit of a magician – he makes the club bangers that also can exist outside of those four walls and can live and breathe on your home stereo too. It’s a slick gift, subtle, intriguing. He’s been making music […]

Charles Webster: Decision Time

Charles Webster Decision Time Dimensions Recordings What a comeback. What a return. Charles Webster – legendary DJ, producer, remixer, composer – hasn’t made a proper record under his own name in nearly two decades. His influence is everywhere, he has popped up under several aliases over the years too (Presence, Furry Phreaks) and I last […]

Tenderlonious: Think Twice (ep)

Tenderlonious Think Twice (ep) 22a Music / 22a Ed “Tenderlonious” Cawthorne released a killer record last year called Hard Rain and he followed it up with this EP – another oblique  Bob Dylan reference… Flautist, saxophonist, bandleader turned label-owner, beatmaker and producer, Tenderlonious has parked his future-jazz 22archestra to the side and now seems more […]

Anthony Naples: Fog FM

Anthony Naples Fog FM ANS Good house and techno music isn’t so much hard to find as it is hard to keep up with, and I don’t mean BPM-wise. I’m so out of the loop I’m barely a semi-circle. But I have – slightly – followed Anthony Naples. He’s been on the scene for the […]

Give My Regards To St. Mary Street 

We lived in Thorndon – St Mary Street – for just over six years. It was the first house we owned. A wee cottage. We loved it so much. There were great kitchen parties and music was always a feature.  We moved in the day Ray Charles died. I know this because when I was collecting boxes […]

Peggy Gou: Once (12″ EP)

Peggy Gou Once (12” EP) Ninja Tunes South Korean-born, Berlin-based DJ and producer Peggy Gou is making (sound) waves within house music and electro – those faceless, anonymous beat-filled genres where the best music can seem so fleeting but the truly timeless tunes have that something special: the right hook and groove; personality.
