FIO

Francis Inferno Orchestra – 3AM Piano Thing

The ever consistent Francis Inferno Orchestra serves up an absolute weapon destined to (already is, tbf) cause hysteria across dancefloors this summer. Just in case DJs forget what the track is all about, and what time it’s likely to take the roof off, FIO has been king enough to leave some clues in the title. [...]

Alice Ant – I Want You

Ramp Recordings new signee, Alice Ant, delivers his debut EP in the form of 4 instrumental beauts that, we’re told, are just the tip of the iceberg for this new talent. Synthetic textures and introspective, rousing melodies make for an absorbing aesthetic. If Koreless, Falty DL, Mount Kimbie et al. are your bag then this could be one for you. With the promise of [...]

Delroy

Delroy Edwards – Maxwell

Current fave, Delroy Edwards delivers a banger of a ghetto infused booty. Sampling Maxwell’s ‘Matrimony: Maybe You’ with a fair bit of swagger, once again Delroy proves he is the man to bring the bounce to the party. Not sure if this is getting a release but hopefully we can get our hands on it [...]

Dubinsky – Mind

A stunning bit of house music here from Buzzin’ Fly man, Chris Woodward, who, under his Dubinsky guise, has delivered a complete gem in ‘Mind’. The serene vocals of Renate Rubini coupled with warm bass tones and a sprinkling of magic on the keys has left us completely swoon. Without gushing too much this could quite easily become our soundtrack of [...]

Shakes

Ex-Pylon – Shakes/Helmet

The mysterious Ex-Pylong return to their Swedish home, Studio Barnhus. Deadly techno meets spacey grooves on ‘Shakes/Helmet’. The A side provides just the right amount of off-kilter brilliance and on-point drum programming to bend ones mind, whilst on the flip swirling, spacey synths and dubbed out pads plunge deep. In a word: wavy.

Lucretio – Want

Starting the (short) week the right way. Lucretio‘s ‘Competing Motivations EP’ has been ticking all the right boxes for us in recently. Given the quality across the EP it’s been hard to pick a fave…. but due to the fact the sun it out and we love an infectious Piano riff, we had to go [...]

Siz

Sizlak

‘Chilling, Deep and Bassy House’ is how Nottingham based, Sizlak, describes ‘Uncontrol’ – A FREE download of his fruitful soundcloud! He’s not wrong either. Eerie atmospherics, keys and muted/filtered brass set the tone, whilst the booming bassline, pulsy kicks and aggressive hats take on the hard graft. As refreshing a little genre-crossing-number this is you [...]

No Artificial Colours – Crying Wolf EP [Madtech]

A release so good the best way to describe it is in that kind of low gutteral howl you let out when a banger comes on peak time in a club and you have to hold on to the railings down the front because you get so excited you might fall over… With Huxley playing [...]
