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 Planet Mu Records Ltd.

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.

Theo Parrish Footwork Sound Signature Ahead of the full-lengther here’s a new 2-track EP from Theo Parrish. Only two tracks – but 20 minutes of groove; that makes it worth mentioning – Parrish has roots in Chicago’s early house scene and Detroit’s classic techno feel and he combines those separate vestiges to make is own […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 1699
V/A, True People: The Detroit Techno Album (1996) It’s a box-set of five 12” records. And I bought it from a dude who walked in to the shop I was working in – late one night – wanting to offload some second-hand vinyl. I never really thought about whether it was a dodgy deal or […]Archive
