**Housed in a very posh lenticular hologram sleeve** Simmering soul and tricky electro for the dance from SBTRKT and his trusty vocal spar, Sampha. 'Hold On' is a gingerly stepping House groove with yearning vox and glassy-eyed melody, sharing a sensitive pop soul with Jamie xx's best. 'Ride To Freedom' is a skilled exercise in twirling, swinging Electro with a nod to Chicago Footwork, and the mysterious Sisi Bak Bak (if rumours are to be believed - a new alias for non other than Thom Yorke) offers the most interesting moment with a brittle, heady re-groove of 'Hold On'.

**35 minutes of material spread over 4 tracks** **35 minutes of material spread over 4 tracks** Mi Ami is the five year old project of exotic punk-gone-House types Daniel Martin-McCormick (Ital) and Damon Palermo (Magic Touch). 'Decade', their first release since last years 'Dolphins' for Thrill Jockey, signifies a suitably decadent sea-change to their sound in keeping with respective solo projects. Basically they've ditched the guitars and drums for a hypnotic, electronic blend of Deep House and Disco filtered through their sly post-punk sensibilities. For our $, it's their finest collaborative work y… Read more

San Fran's Dave Aju steers Circus Company on one of their freshest rides since the Nicolas Jaar album with his sophomore LP. There's a distinctly rich and expressive musical consistency to 'Heirlooms' largely thanks to his use of vintage recordings and instruments inherited from his late father. It's still sophisticated party music, but it's also one of those "dancefloor" albums that's just as comfortable on headphones and sunk into the couch, wending its way through ten subtly morphing and spaced-out productions poised with a cool funk and tingling sense of psychedelia. He's joined by fellow Circ… Read more

Proving they're still alive and still on point, here's another winner from the mysterious Various camp, showing their darker, more soulful side with the silky vocal cut 'Moving On'. Somehow this reminds us of early Leila, all woozy, slightly f*cked up and sort of delicious in its reimagining of digital soul music. For those who miss the dancefloor-heavy end of the label though there's 'Bolts' on the flip that shows a rare Drexiyan electro bent and a new twist in their evolving catalogue.

‘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

Pantha Du Prince and his pal, Stephan Abry ease off with this mondo-chilled new collaboration as Ursprung. The pair have previously collaborated: Abry - a former member of German experimental group Workshop - contributed "sound sources played on prepared instruments" to Herr Du Prince's 'Black Noise' album, but it's the first time they've been credited side-by-side. Their title translates to "origin" in English and rings true with their stripped down approach to arrangement and playing. At a guess, Abry is responsible for the lushly languid guitar lines which percolate through the sonorous bass pul… Read more

After releasing on practically every Dubstep label in the game, Truth drop two halfstep heavyweights on Tempa. 'Last Time' plays out a darkly seductive, highly pressurised jungle vibe hinging on swollen subs and darting breaks under cinematic synth arcs. Working with vocalist Yayne, 'Dreams' comes as close as it gets to Kryptic Minds' hallowed halfstep dramas.

The Glaswegian producer behind last year's Joy Orb and Gilles P-tipped singles serves a classy mini-LP of pan-global riddims for Huntleys & Palmers. Informed by Kodwo Eshun's concept of Afro-futurism and an innate feel for plush, plump groove construction, the eight tracks of 'Future Rhythm Machine' hybridise UK Bass and Afro-Latin Highlife sensibilities with a seductive, succinct ability like few others. He's joined by Chilean vocalist Mamacita on a swaying moire of bleeps and hip-greased shuffle for opener 'Haven't Got Any Body' and the crafty balance of moody bass descent and Cumbia… 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.

Advanced laptop-pop, neo-trip-hop and beat constructions from RYAT, aka Philadelphia producer, singer and multi-instrumentalist Cristina McGeehan, on an album for Brainfeeder that refuses to sit still. RYAT's strong, Bjork-esque vocals are what bring the album's disparate textures and techniques together, reaching a pop-viable zenith on the wonderful 'Hummingbird'. Its itchy, glitchy electronics, shimmering harp runs and hiccupping synths are in constant overdrive, but somehow never become too much - testament to the songwriting, arranging and production skill that's gone into the making of the record.
