Sunday, November 30th, 2008Where’s My Dogs At
I’ve checked for both tracks on this release, and for my money this is the standout. That’s not to take anything from Greedless Artilects, a fine piece in it’s own right, but Technology has that intangible ‘other’ element that raises it higher. A cinematic quality pervades this work, an other worldly widescreen, [...]
Review of This Dark Matter by London Elektricity on Hospital Records
Sunday, November 30th, 2008Give Me Hard Copy, Right There.
There is nothing like getting it right the first time. No wasted motion here, form follows function in one seamless flow. First class, intelligent vocal, a proper melody line built around what is essentially the d n’b staple throbbing bass and two tiered drum structure. Don’t think however you are [...]
Review of Superhuman by Nutrient
Thursday, November 27th, 2008Style And Pattern
Next up, a gettaway driver of a tune. Nice and sparse, keeping it real, there is everything you need here, and plenty of s p a c e. A dreamlike quality comes across courtesy of the interplay between strong wobbly bass elements, ultra tight drums, a sci fi pad and sub b movie [...]

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008Another Saturday Night And I Ain’t Got Nobody
Everything seems to be in order, so let’s go. Well tight this track, with all the right ingredients in a tasty recipe. Naughty is the word that comes to mind when the bass and party keys kick in, a top drum you gotta love and that ‘ [...]
Review of Prism by Cruel Culture and Er.ic on Trust in Music
Sunday, November 23rd, 2008We Can Be Heroes
Superb bass striding over a landscape of ethereal pads and stoked drumlines. A beautiful balance struck between disparate elements, floating in somewhere between swimming and treading water. In painting they call this light and dark, and I’m happy to go with that. There is an almost spiritual touch to this music, close [...]
Label of the week - Exceptional Records
Thursday, November 20th, 2008Exceptional Records are a deliberately eclectic dance label based in West London. Electronica, deep house, breakbeat, hip hop and broken beats sit comfortably side-by-side on their roster.
So how do they choose the tracks that they unleash upon the world? The only rule is that it has to sound great. They don’t discriminate against genres, tempo [...]
Artist of the week - Dj Warp
Thursday, November 20th, 2008DJ Warp started DJing as a student in Fukuoka, the home of the insanely delicious tonkotsu ramen (pork bone) noodle soup. He acquired his DJing and production moniker - DJ Warp - thanks to the Warp label t-shirt he was wearing the first time he spun records. In the intervening years he’s developed a [...]
Review of Push The Feeling On by Maximum Acceleration on DO3 Records
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008Where Do We Go From Here?
I love this shit, pumped up vocals, big bass and junglistic drums steamrollering into a full on massive euro style anthem. When I hear a tune like this it always makes me think of huge clubs, dry ice, lasers firing off, jammed full and all the trimmings. You honestly get [...]
Review:1.00am (original) by K-Mass on Deepsessions Records
Sunday, November 16th, 20081.00am says the title and that’s exactly the hour this track should be played because it’s loaded with hopeful expectation, what will the night bring next? Slightly progressive but with the real spirit of what house should be like; positive and to make you forget about the daily worries.
Let the notes of this track intrude [...]
Review:Flying Over(Playmotion Softly up) by M-Lito and Nestora on Disclosure Project Recordings
Sunday, November 16th, 2008Here’s a true deep house music anthem on the UK based Disclosure Project Recordings. M-Lito & Nestora succeed in creating a masterful laid back atmosphere, the kind you can listen to for hours without ever getting annoyed. Put the track on, hit repeat on your player and just let the tasteful flavour get to you. [...]
