Pre-eminent H-Pop geniuses, Hype Williams, deliver the crackish satisfaction of 'One Nation', their third album proper and first for the hugely exciting Hippos in Tanks label - home to Laurel Halo, Games, SLEEP ∞ OVER, Grimes, D'eon, Autre Ne Veut and others. With the same fugged-up blend of sly insouciance and deceptively naive production that made 'Find Out What Happens...' so vital, Denna Francis and Roy D. Blunt have assembled a sublime followup which makes so much else out there seem over-earnest and over-dressed. From the warped VHS signature of 'Ital' inwards, their surreal grasp of p… Read more

Pangaea, lad, what are you doing to us?!?! Over a year after his eponymous Hessle EP, Kevin McAuley augments his sound to a 130bpm (or thereabouts) style of deep Technoid ruffige compatible with label brethren Elgato or more recent 2562 beats. Squaring up to 'Inna Daze' we're faced with a rugged rollers figure, broad, shoulder swinging bass with a Monolake-esque finish synched to hip-tucking, fake-out drum programming pecked with feverish diva yelps and siren stabs. On the flip, 'Won't Hurt' starts out pensive but soon enough brings the bass weight like some 2005 DMZ classic, only at 130… Read more

*Strictly limited copies - What's this? A five-track EP from Floating Points?! This is probably the most substantial and also darkest FP dispatch to date, and though a couple of numbers have been kicking around on dubplate for a while, it's good to have all in one place and sounding this spruce. 'Myrtle Avenue' is an out-and-out epic at 10 minutes long, using the time to go super-deep; it's fundamentally a stripped house groover, but with clustered drum-swing and warm, boogie-funked keys very much in the vein of Theo. It really goes at its own pace and is unpressured by the demands of the da… Read more

NILS FRAHM - Felt (Limited Vinyl Edition), ERASED TAPES
*Now in on limited vinyl* There's a very literal reason for the title of Nils Frahm's new album, Felt. He wanted to play the piano during the dead of night, without disturbing his neighbours, so he layed thick felt in front of its strings to muffle the sound. Rather than being frustrated, he unexpectedly found himself enchanted by this dampened sound, and it opened up new compositional as well as playing possibilities for his inquisitive mind. The resulting work is varied in style but it all has a close, confessional, nocturnal quality that's beautifully wrought and expertly rec… Read more

Cat. Number: OTON55

Another new name and another killer EP from René Pawlowitz aka Shed! Among other reasons, the name change is likely required to distinguish the subtle nuance of these productions from his myriad styles already covered as Wax, EQ'd, Shed, etc, while remaining true to his core roots and values. A-side 'A100' twists the Detroit schematic to contemporary body requests, finding a pendulous motion between brittle hi-hats and hip-slyding bass while glorious synth gradually congregate in celestial club ecstasy. B-side opens with the eyes-shut harmonic breakdown of 'BER' before rolling into the dried-out and tunnelled techno funk tuck of 'Bypass'. ACE.
