Tuesday, September 15th, 2009The Only Rap That Bites
Furious, electro funk barn stormer, with spikes. From the get go S,D&R is all in your face, with a warped out synth riff and completely driven BIG beat drums, surrounded by the nutcase aura of just a full on, bonkers banger. Taken from the impressive Fools Planet album, this is just [...]
Review of Walk On By, by Ryan Murgatroyd presents Suriv featuring Miss Jones on Destination? Slow and Easy Remix
Sunday, July 5th, 2009Slow and easy does it every time. There is plenty of space here for the quirky electronics to work their magic, while the breathy beauty of the songline just floats in on the warm wind of that synth backdraft. Like an itch you can’t scratch, Walk on By is going to get under your skin, [...]
Review of Animal Logic by Decibel Brothers on Atomic Zoo Recordings
Friday, June 26th, 2009A heavy duty opener to this four track remix album. Take it from me the bass ain’t shy as this bad boy jumps off. You can feel the music is taking you somewhere, and then it really kicks in. Hugely dirty, with gritty hats underneath, and monster soundbite cut ups by way of a vocal. [...]

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009An Itch You Can’t Scratch
Keeping on a full on tip, check this disjointed banger. Like an allergic reaction this dirty electro groove will get under your skin and stay there. Hot summer night music, you can sweat one out to this, no messing. There is a stripped down feel to the proceedings, a jaded minimalism [...]

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009An Idea Just Crazy Enough To Get Us All Killed.
Talk about off the wall, this one comes at you from out of nowhere. I can’t imagine why anyone would choose material like this to make a tune with, or why for that matter they would give it this treatment. Imagine the ambient flow in some [...]
Review of World of A Woman by Filippo Moscatello on Mood Music
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009Let’s Go Way, Way Back.
Pumped euro-trash on a dance tip my friends. A touchy, feely electro mover if you ever heard one. A nice spacey edge to the music, counterpointed with the deep throb of the bass lending a hammers on keys flavour to the proceedings, while the synths meander in and out like subplots [...]
Review of N*gga Spirit by Ghostphreak on Next Life Recordings
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009The Sheriff Is Near
It’s been a time coming, but this has got to be right. A tight, kicking, dirty f*cking bitch. A little bit Moby, a little bit dark, all fired up and totally wired. Big samples from the Mel Brooks classic Blazing Saddles fitted up with a soulful gospel vocal line to a top [...]
Review of Ghost Rider by Ascer Groove on M.B.Music
Thursday, January 29th, 2009Leader Of The Pack
Something is making me want to shout ACEEEED when this bad boy starts up. A real builder, consensus not required, just bob your head dread as they kick the funk low. Monster electro vibes, buried somewhere on an acid house highway, veering tranceways into a serial killer of a minimal dance track [...]
Review of Incoming Transmission Intelligent Life Mix by Elektronikal on Teknikal Records
Wednesday, January 21st, 2009Tap in, Funk Out.
Get on for this laid back techer. A funky fresh syn bass knocking out the b line over the trippy electro backdraft, first rate old school sci fi vocal samps, spaced keys on a scaled out tip, and everything served up downtempo like you like it. The War Of The Worlds touch, [...]
Review of Cosmopolis by Cosmopolis on Rush Hour
Thursday, December 4th, 2008Turning Japanese
Electro time lapse bubbler. The backdraft that accompanies a mega ride through the arteries of modern urban living. There is a wonderful completeness to this track, a mellow steady flow, heightened by the tingling synth melody line, underpinned by the fat talking bassline, rounded off with the well timed cutting from one sound to [...]
