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

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

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
