Loads and loads and loads and loads of new tunes out at the moment:
Bumper- Tuff Groove/Detroit (MDEX) great 80's synth-funk-
vocoder stuff carried off with aplomb
Audio Werner- Just Dar It (Trapez ltd) never managed to track
down any of the other Audio Werner tracks yet- this 2 track EP is
excellent deep quirky Techno/House stuff
Tribute To John Surman- I:Cube, Tim Paris and Tekel 2 Tracks
of fairly driving, edgy, fx-laden Techno and one more down tempo
piece with the odd Black Dog squiggle and chord change and deep,
heavy percussion.
Theo Parrish- Levels/Shifting Sands 1st thing on Sound
Signature I've liked in the last couple of years- B side is
particularly good.
Art Of Tones- Vol1+2 (20/20 vision) Not sure who this is but half
a dozen tracks of vaguely Pigna-esque dancefloor Techno with big
strings and chords, driving rythyms and plenty of character.
Sutekh remix on Mo's Ferry- can't find my copy at teh moment to get
more info but if you can find this record I would highly recommend
giving it a listen- I've never really taken to Sutekh before but this
one (and his TWO albums of collected remixes which came out a couple
of weeks ago) has really opened my eyes- it's incredibly well
programmed material with stunning use of "non musical" noises over
complicated ryhtyms,crazy edits AND it still bangs too!
Also really liking:
Dandy Jack on Perlon (not normally a label I buy much on either!)
Neil Landstrum- Life of Grime (big Ableton mash up of loads of early
90's Bleep stuff put through the blender- Nightmares on Wax, Nude
Photo, Forgemasters- all sorts of stuff- tuff but great fun with it)
Mossa- Black Bananas (Tejada and Maxwell mixes and the orginal too)
Acid Boy Chair- Gold Soundz (utterly unique mix of harsh electronics,
accoustic guitars, Ableton trickery, Aphex/Ceephax Acid Crew madness-
even people who have bought this record have asked "what the hell is
that?" when we play it in the shop- it's so varied and off the wall
you just can't quite remember all the tracks)
and loads and loads and loads and loads more- wish I had more time to
type!!!!!!
cheeers
