New Tracks

This is the coolest track I’ve heard in a long time, and I stress the definition on cool. Kind of a squelchy space disco vibe and all about someone trying to find his way back to earth through speaking binary to a possible interactive galactical computer.

Olav Brekke Mathisen & Sideshow Jøgge – Hasjbox

Melodic and charming minimal track that’s trying to say “come here” through extraneous bleeping. Really nice bassline too.

Ashac – Sigillum Dei

A groovy, funky disco-ish track with a very recognisable disco sample that my brain just isn’t working out right now. Very, very happy music.

Vincent Caira – Mood

I’m not normally a fan of drum’n’bass but this has an older jungle feel to it, with really high production values that you’d expect from Forest Drive West.

Forest Drive West – Ruins

I’m not sure if I hate this or love this, the track itself has a certain tension, verging between minimal and tech-house – but then the vocal goes “you get a two, you get a two, you get a two…five” which makes no sense. Yet I do like it.

Alexander Skancke – You Get A Two

Of course this has been around forever – not far off 30 years which is scary. But it’s just such a powerful track, really a future version of techno from back when Richie Hawtin was really pushing techno.

Richie Hawtin – Minus/Orange 1

I really like this whole EP, and will be getting it on vinyl as soon as I can. Maybe it is the Croydon coming out in me, but the grime-like lyrics over a broken-beat slower techno track is unusual and really flipping good.

Ben Klock & Fadi Mohem – Our Sector

A really quite tough and chunky beat, a real kick to the kick-drum and a squelch to it too, feels like late 90’s tech-house.

Gojnea76 – Party Time
