Sequences to Activate Dormant Agents by Mule Driver
Solid selection of fine Electro wares
Solid selection of fine Electro wares
Danny Wolfers adds a sturdy thud and haunting synths to the already rousing and emotional title track from Martin Matiske's new EP Moments.
Alongside the original, Moments EP is backed with the Kraftwerk-inspired Dimensional Space Travel and the retro-leaning Analogue Being. Out today on NYC label Melodize
Morning is the highlight from a strong EP entitled Cœur De Glace out today on French outpost D.KO Records. Alongside Fasme, the four tracker features Binary Digit, GGGG and Mud Deep & Sans-Qui, each with their own flavour of retro vibes, but it's the melancholy mind manipulations of Fasme's melodic Electro Acid that delivers the sucker punch sugar rush.
Enrica Falqui and Dea Dvornik are ERIS and their new EP Glimmers is the first for Falqui's new label Plexus 4. Crossed between Jennifer Cardini's Correspondant label and Legowelt's melodic Electro, their sound is easy to love. I've chosen to highlight second track Serpente but it's all very good.
In preparation for the release of his new album Water In The Moon (out on July 5th via Back Door), David Uribe aka Dsum answers asked 15 questions
Noted, 15 Jun 2024, 14:05Delicious deeep pumping bass and then the most tasteful Acid on this excellent track from the new DC Salas EP Pixelated Dream Theory – in the same vein as Moderna's Prince cover DIE4U
Classic Electro remastered and reissued
Strong new EP called Did I Stutter from the Australian artist and DJ Alysha Fleiter, aka Nite Fleit. While all four tracks are packed with lush Electro melody and matching crisp rhythms, the title track is the clear highlight, packing an emotive kick in the goolies with its circular top line (like a guitar riff) and varied drum patterns dropping in-and-out.
Hard-hitting EP of Jungle-flavoured Electro
Central track from a strong, self-titled five-track EP on brokntoys by David Friedrich Koch, aka Dave Shokh, is a hypnotic, mind-bending Electro groover.
The film visual effects artist Leo Neelands continues his pursuit of the club as DEFSET with Content#01 EP, the first in a new series of floor-focussed works. The highlight is undoubtedly the opener Skips, with its Acid loop and Electro vibe.
Out now via EMK
Inventive, hooky and fun
Massive lockdown album of Electro and IDM
Plexistorm is my fav track from the new The Reformer EP by LNS & DJ Sotofett, with its robust, phat and melodic Electro bass line. Overall it's a strong four-tracker providing the perfect follow-up to last year's Sputters album. Out now on Tresor.
Five solid tracks of Breaks-inspired Electro
Moody, toned Electro
New track Diana's Lab, from the Dutch veteran Ferenc E. van der Sluijs, aka I-F, taken from forthcoming EP The Fetish Death
Slick and smooth Electro
Rugged and catchy Dubstep and Electro
Visioneuse is a solid slab of Electro Pop from the always high quality brokntoys stable, this time by shadowy producer XY0815.
New album called DEKATRON upcoming from Anthony Rother.
Noted, 14 Nov 2021, 17:58Pounding Electro with a progressive vein
Second release on Disco Inferno from French producer Guillaume Labadie is another enormous hunk of manic melody and throbbing rhythms. At over nine minutes in length, the driving 146 BPM rhythm underpinning Werewolf Disco Club initially supports some cool French Rap before expanding horizons around the ⅔ mark with a melody breakdown.
With each release Labadie's profile continues to grow, fostering the same devoted sense of excitement and loyalty among fans that artists like Burial and Four Tet demand.
Delightful Detroit Techno vibes aplenty
Time for some Electro pampering! Razor sharp and concise, the Hamburg selector packs an awful lot into just 48 minutes! Essential.
Noted, 12 Aug 2021, 18:00Following previous releases on Live at Robert Johnson and Mule Musiq, Dutch producer Tjade delivers Balancing Act, a quality two-tracker for André Hommen's These Eyes label. The title track pushes the peak-time vibes with a distorted Acid bassline and trance rush. Superb stuff.
