Coinciding with Dirtybird's 2012 'Hatched' tour; a collection of 12 tunes from 13 producers spanning the label's remit of durrty haus, ghetto bass and deep house. It runs from Claude VonStroke & Eats Everything's bumpy roller 'Ignorance Is Bliss' to Kill Frenzy's Dance Mania impersonation 'Booty Clap', thru Breach's 'Return To 93' remix of 'That Amen Track' to Catz 'n Dogz' squidgy deep House, Kingdom's stush jacker 'SFX' and tips out on a Soul Clap edit of Nick Monaco's 'Long Kiss Goodnight', taking in trax from Christian Martin, A1 Bassline and Sasha Robotti along the way.

It's hard to believe that 'The End of Music' is only the second album from Swedish dream poppers De La Mancha. I guess it makes sense, given that part of the band's core duo is none other than Dag Rosenqvist, who's been quite busy under his Jasper TX guise for the last few years. Along with childhood friend Jerker Lund, however, he is responsible for some of the most gorgeous ambient pop music this side of Iceland, and 'The End of Music' is the band's finest document to date. Emerging from the esteemed Karaoke Kalk imprint, this showcases the band's ability to compose mini-symphonies in … Read more

Brock Van Wey hits new heights on his most impressive and epic album to date. Like his recent 12" for ASC's Symbol series, his ultra-plush ambient-trance-scapes are infused with chaotic breakbeats reserved to accentuate crucial moments in striking style, arriving at least 30 minutes into the set to ignite 'All It Takes' with a majestic shock. Elsewhere 'My Sun Shines Through Your Rain' sounds like LTJ Bukem remixing Cocteau Twins and 'Pure Of Heart' is an earnest mixture of widescreen ambient and buried brekabeat churn. Lovely.

We know there are plenty of you out there who fell in love with Icelandic electronic explorers Mum all those years ago, back when they sounded like all their music was recorded in a remote log cabin on a broken mixing desk. Since then their sound has become more refined, but there’s still a part of us that holds a torch for those early naïve experiments that got us all interested in the first place. Thankfully Morr is on call to provide, and have sourced fifteen rare or totally unheard tracks from the band, recorded back in 1998-2000 when they were arguably at their most unusual. Those of you that scor… Read more

Another compendium of fresh, lean UKF-and-beyond productions from stalwart and standard-bearer Roska. As ever, what makes his tunes so potent is their simplicity, but on Roska 2 he really shows off some newfound depth and range too: 'You Dun Kno' sees pensive synth chords underlay what sounds like a looped banjo (!), 'Memories' (featuring Ruby Goe's vocals) mines a rich seam between broken beat and electro, while 'OnRinseSinceZeroEight' is simply one of the best grime productions we've heard in ages. Roska's old sparring partner Jamie George voices the anthemic 'Do You Like This', clearly … Read more

Denmark's slickest disco duo back in action with slo-mo and blue grooves. On 'Cosyland' the vocals are pushed up close and intimate on a swaying waltz, whereas 'Get Laid Back' harnesses portside guitar strokes and breezy synths on a grinding bass arpeggio. Reminding of their provenance, 'Cocaine Cool (extended Vol2)' revamps their greatest hit, and '101 Part Two' slips back into dreamy disco molasses mode.

Bombastic but classy orchestral pop music from Seattle-based composer Jherek Bischoff, featuring vocals from the likes of David Byrne and Carla Bozulich, and recommended to fans of Nico Muhly, Dirty Projectors, Van Dyke Parks, Owen Pallett, Beirut, etc. Byrne is in particularly good voice on 'Eyes', sounding right at home amid marching band drums, banjo and sweeping strings. Bischoff channels Gerschwin on the Caetano Veloso and Greg Saunier-featuring 'The Secret Of The Machines', and Evangelista leader Carla Bozulich sounds for all the world like she's singing lead in a Broadway show, or tryin… Read more

This is a bit of a treat – somehow 4AD have finally seen sense and gathered together everything ever put out from legendary electronic pioneers Colourbox and bundled it all together into a couple of releases for our pleasure. The band (made up of brothers Martyn and Steve Young and Lorita Grahame) were always an oddity on the 4AD label, even back in 1983 when their breakthrough EP (like all their other records, simply titled ‘Colourbox’) hit the shelves. To this day the band are still best known to contributing to M/A/R/R/S ‘Pump Up The Volume’, but their earlier material is far more exploratory an… Read more

Impressively diverse 7-track EP from Becoming Real that really takes his sound forward, towards a kind of synthetic psychedelia and techno-pop only tangentially connected to garage and dubstep. 'Zoning' is a total headfuck - it begins like a hollowed-out grime instrumental only to flower into a pixellated cathedral of abstract 16-bit dazzle that even Rustie or Wax Stag would struggle to find their way out of. 'Real's Slow Memory' is a bass-reinforced pop gem driven by the sweet vocals of Alice (Sunless '97) . 'Anthropology' is an investigation of more minimal sounds, its haunting … Read moreFriday, 01 June

‘Dopesmoker’ is an important record, let’s get that out of the way first. Originally recorded back in 1995, it languished in mostly unreleased form until 2003 when Sleep (the unholy trinity of Al Cisneros, Chris Hakius and Matt Pike) finally started getting the attention they always deserved. Fans of all things Sunn o))) and Earth will probably have heard it before, but let me be the first to say that this brand new remastered edition is the finest iteration of the record I’ve heard. The monolithic hour-long piece now sounds wider, thicker and doomier than ever before and Brad Boatright has given it t… Read more

Chicago art-rockers Volcano! Have been dormant (ha, geddit?) for a while now; their last full length was way back in 2008, but from the sound of Pinata, they’ve not lost any of their hyperactive charm. The opening, eponymous track begins with the intensity of legendary electronic upsetters Silver Apples, and gives the perfect introduction to their stop-start wyrd rock experience. The pop formulas are still just about present – there’s vocals, drums and guitar but the band are smart enough to reframe them with the kind of slick muso knowledge that made us all fall in love with Dirty Projectors. Tha… Read more
