Many years ago (okay, in about 2006) the present reviewer had reached a certain brief echelon of fame within the scene and found himself connected on MSN Messen…

Firstly, a confession. I was sent this  by a source who I won’t name, through the Contact form on this site. The email that accompanied it (which was quite hil…

I first became aware of Kilowatts on his 2007 album Ground Force on Native State, and since then he’s become one to watch. Prolific artists are often prolific a…

I’m sure I’m not alone in my abject love of Timecode, a label who have never so much as contemplated swerving from the style they do best. Future Cuts maintains…

There you are, sitting comfortably looking back at the year’s releases and thinking you’ve pretty much got a handle on the year in review. Then, quite without w…

I bloody love this. This album has been like a close friend for the last month or so. I was back in Europe for a bit visiting family and friends, and I hardly t…

Kickstarter-funded, Bandcamp pay-what-you-want sold, and from an artist that seems to have an effortless resonance with his audience over the social medias: you…

Museums of Consciousness is Shpongle’s fifth album, which by my reckoning makes theirs the longest trilogy in the history of music. It’s also one of the most hy…

Well lorks a lummy, as one might say, because it appears as though Tip are back again, or are they, with a new album, or is it, featuring a selection of “cherry…

I’ve been super-enjoying this, especially over the six weeks or so I’ve been sat on it while the label patiently waited for me to get my act together and review…

Fap, basically. It’s a super awesome welcome back to Interchill, a label I’m personally delighted has weathered the multiple storms of dwindling sales, mp3 str…

Well, what a jolly surprise this was. I had no idea there was even a recording of Etnica live from 1996 (although I was loosely aware of a bit of Brixton folklo…

I was a bit shocked to learn of this, OOOD’s fifth album, at such a late stage in the day. For the last two (or three?) albums, I was much more plugged-in to th…
