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 […]Archive

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 […]Archive

Theo Parrish: Wuddaji
Theo Parrish Wuddaji Sound Signature I’m a big fan of Theo Parrish. I don’t keep up with anything in dance music at all. Not anymore. And yet I hear Parrish and recognise his, er, footprints instantly. He is techno on the jazz tip – or at least there’s a jazziness about what he’s doing. His […]Archive

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 […]Archive

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 […]Archive

Lukid: Drip (ep)
Lukid Drip (ep) Arcola Luke Blair’s day-job is being the boss at Glum Records. By night – or on weekends – he is Lukid. And his Drip EP is a weird and wonderful blip-bop loop-fest of tape-stretching, static-hiss boogie-down ambient-crawl techno that has been released on Arcola, one of Warp’s sub-labels. Warp of course is spiritual home to this type of […]Archive

Jlin: Black Origami
Jlin Black Origami Planet Mu Records Ltd. Jerrilynn Patton has been making music under the moniker Jlin since 2008 – and after a few key singles in the early 2010s she made her mark with 2015’s debut full-lengther, Dark Energy. Twisting rhythms around themselves to create a sprawling, hypnotic prototype of trance and techno splices […]Archive

Daft Punk – Unchained: DVD
Daft Punk – Unchained Director: Herve Martin-Delpierre BBC Worldwide Productions An interesting, and worthy documentary that traces Daft Punk’s music and antics back to the start, in fact back to the pre-robot days when, in an early review of their shoegazer-ish group, they were written off as making “daft punk”. So, Guy-Manuel de Homen-Christo and […]Archive

Moritz Von Oswald Trio: Sounding Lines
Moritz Von Oswald Trio Sounding Lines Honest Jon’s Records I expected to dig the new Moritz Von Oswald Trio album – because I spent a bit of time with 2012’s Fetch and liked the murky worlds of throbbing synth/bass-lines as a kind of post-techno, post-nightclub late night soak of sound. But I didn’t anticipate would […]Archive
