Sunday, January 3rd, 2010Keep The Fire Burning
There is more than tinge of deep house about this winter warmer, but who’s counting anyway. Atmospheric synths, airy pads and an insistent build on the beats are going to carry you beyond any concerns regarding genre orientation. There is a move afoot within dubstep generally and dance music specifically to marry [...]
Review of Sex, Drugs & Rosenkohl by Stereofunk on Klang Gymnastik
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 Ice by Morton Base on Kunterbunt
Sunday, August 16th, 2009We Got A Hot One For Ya
Hold on, his Mum said he won’t be long. A little frozen gem of a tune, that is only going to leave you wanting more. Heavy reggae influences are at play on this one, in collision with more calculated techno elements, so if you like your house music with [...]

Saturday, August 1st, 2009This track is part of the new album by Mr. Ross couch and is one of the more soulful, if not the most soulful, track on this album “Night and Day”.

Review of Gettin’ Harder by Nick the Kid, Lee H on Drizzly Records
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009I Am Your Automatic Lover.
Teched up house vibes, lent a disjointed edge courtesy of the Gettin’ Harder refrain laid over a most insistent rhythm pattern. Minimal and hypnotic, this is a beat designed to get you on your feet and keep you there. An atmospheric edge keeps things on the right side of repetition, and [...]
