June 1, 2013Originally thought this might’ve originally been a bit of low-level promo type thing for something forthcoming; not everyday Kassem Mosse drops a full release on cassette after all. As it turns out, the cassette version of The Siege Of Troy is a proper quality drop, a damn good album on it’s own accord. Done under an alias of the same…
May 27, 2013Due to drop next month, and getting plenty more hype along the way, comes an openly collaborative effort between Moritz Von Oswald and Juan Atkins. Coming out on Tresor across 3×12″, this one’s been doing the digital promo rounds pretty heavily, popping up everyone’s radio show including our last Awkward Movements on NTS. Not sure what we expected from such…
May 16, 2013Great release this, albeit a bit shorter than I expected the run time to be. Out on I Had An Accident in super limited C10 cassette form, Marina Stewart gives two sides of ‘Les Horreur’s Indescripitable‘ – cut and paste experimental electronics that leave us wanting more and hunting down the rest of her works. Evidently started in 1986, the…
May 15, 2013Armon Brazile aka Aybee first entered our sphere of consciousness after he flexed the cosmic house muscles on the 11:11 EP a few years back. Released on his own Deepblak label, that plate was uncharted territory for us at the time and opened up new possibilities from the deeper side of the genre. Later that year, under his beats-based alias…
May 1, 2013Second time in as many days that we’re talking about almost gone releases – blink and you missed it styles – so apologies in advance if you’re chasing this one down. Needed to share this though, as I was fortunate to get my hands on one of these live mixes from Hieroglyphic Being, a limited cassette released as the first…
April 29, 2013Stoked that this reissue gives us another chance to discuss the early work of Carl Craig. And while I’ve been looking for somewhere to properly explore his Modular Pursuits projects, it’s all about exploring the stylings of his original Psyche and BFC aliases at present. Last month the Planet E label dropped a 3xLP remastered and reissued of Elements 1989-1990,…
April 25, 2013While we’ve never doubted the ability of Legowelt or Actress on the production tip, or the curation duties of Serge for that matter, we’ve got to say that both artists and Clone have really smacked this one out of the park. Two remixes from Actress of the Legowelt cut “Elementz Of Houz Music“, the original of which dropped on Legowelt’s…
April 21, 2013Don’t really know where to start with Mike Cooper. The nature of being an experimental and underground musician means that you push your own boundaries, keep your own interests away from what’s easy-access. Sure a few make it to the top and crossover in to popular culture, but the majority chip away at it, with little or no fame being…
April 15, 2013For the London based among you make sure you get down to this next week, headlined by the incredible Nad Spiro, stage name of experimental composer and performer Rosa Arruti out of Barcelona. Rosa’s joined by some proper talent in the form of two-piece Static Memories, Cloudier Skies and raga-drone-psyche specialists Raagnagrok. We’ve been big fans of the Nad Spiro…
April 9, 2013Great album here from The Sign Of Four, a new recording project from underrated composer and multi-instrumentalist and more importantly sound engineer Miles Newman. Miles is best known as one-half of The Natural Yogurt Band (NYB), who came to the forefront with Away With Melancholy in 2008, and Tuck In With… in 2011, both on Jazzman Records and both released as 2×10″…
