Want some advice? Get onto this superb fifteen track "best of" from revered UK label Local Action who are celebrating fifteen years in business. Here's Finn's high speed Disco classic Sometimes The Going Gets A Little Tough.
You may remember the last Tamburi Neri EP appeared in my top releases of 2021 so I had high expectations for new EP Bolle di Dolore. In short, their signature style of "deep and tribal" still resounds. But while Barbieri's sexy, spoken-word vocal graces the title track, the combination of these factors doesn't quite reach the same levels of success. And if it wasn't for the superb Off The Meds Remix (of the title track) it may have lapsed into the forgettable.
Out now on Danza Tribale.
I missed this monumental track Lush Life from the German artist Aksel Schaufler, aka Superpitcher, when it came out in February, so I'm glad I happened upon it recently. Summery vibes with a powerful vocal performance from French artist Julienne Dessagne, aka Fantastic Twins.
Luke Palmer is back as Ozel AB with a new EP called 001. Here's Series Parallel for a taster.
The third track from the reluctant Pop-mistress Rosa Anschütz, taken from forthcoming album Goldener Strom, out on 27th May via Ellen Allien's BPitch label.
Emerging German artist Anna Kost follows last year's track on Soma with the first of two new EPs on Scuba's Hotflush Recordings offshoot Who Whom. The Very End Of You, works flavours of Techno and Bass into an accessible form. Opening track Basic 005 is my fav with crunchy drums and a subtle play on tension and release.
I'm enjoying this upbeat tune from the Brighton producer Nolan.
Out now on Renaissance Records, with remixes from Lehar and Santiago Garcia.
New EP from the German producer André Hommen comprises three fine remixes from three heavyweight producers: Donato Dozzy, Michael Mayer and Manuel Tur. And to be fair, they're all good. I'm a Michael Mayer fan though so love the subtle build and release flow with the bass drops he does so well.
This is Minimal Techno with fine flair. There's shades of Terrence Dixon all over this barnstorming EP from International Day Off label boss Gary Holldman. My pick is Kantrasta, although all four cuts are high quality.
Jurek Przezdziecki turns in a ruffling remix of Kantrasta, with a Jazz-vibe, not unlike the recent Chilly Gonzales and Plastikman collaboration.
