Review:
Here we have a battle of the heavyweights as classic big beat/electro-house label Skint goes head to head with established garage imprint Ice Cream. Featured are two DJ mixes in which DJ Omar and Sonny Wharton mix up the back catalogue of each (including some exclusive versions), boasting names such as Fatboy Slim, X-Press 2, Tim Deluxe, Andy Jay and S-Tee and R.I.P. Productions.

Former Wiseguy DJ Touche (aka Theo Keating) has reinvented himself a few times, most successfully of course as Fake Blood. Under this moniker he created a huge hype as to the real identity of this mysterious producer. Now he has achieved every DJ's dream - to release a Fabric mix album. On it we see his style shift once more; decidedly less noisy than his own earlier output, this a thrilling journey that begins with some tribal house vibes and ends with euphonic electro-pop, taking in baile funk, tech-house, vintage jack and bassy techno along the way.

Review:
Francois Kervorkian brings his many decades of experience to bear on his latest mix. Both CDs start in deep mode before he gradually turns up the tempo and intensity. Of the two mixes, the first is the most impressive; it begins in languid mode with deep house from Jazzanova, Anton Kubikov and Kervorkian himself, before moving into the acidic Factory Floor version of Daniel Avery. From there, he moves into deep, dreamy techno, but the New York DJ's love of heavy bass is never far away - the Maceo Plex take on Maetrik being a prime example - and his finale, featuring the broken beats of Blawan, 2562 and Objekt is impressive.

Review:
Hagelstein is best known for his melodic take on minimal house for labels like Souvenir and Upon You, but it's clear that he's also a skilful selector. The thirteenth Watergate takes the listener on that often alluded to journey; from the smoky strings of Prins Thomas' intro into bassy, drugged out house jams from Don Disco, Chris Wood and Strangers in Heaven. The selection then veers into tranced out tracks by Hagelstein himself and The Cheapers, before setting course for US deep house nirvana courtesy of Marshall Jefferson and Mike Dunn, only to emerge into the dubby chords and fey vocals of Losoul's "Open Door".

Review:
Arguably the most recognisable of Panorama Bar's resident DJs, Steffi follows Cassy, Tama Sumo, Prosumer and Nick Hoppner in cooking up the fifth batch of tracks to make the Panorama Bar mix series. Exclusive material comes from Big Strick, Fred P, Dexter, Juju & Jordash and Steffi herself, while other house cuts come from former drum and bass staples Endian (Commix) and Trevino (Marcus Intalex). Other veterans to feature in the mix include DJ Skull with his original '93 pressing "Don't Stop The Beat", while Steven Tang's Obsolete Music Technology chips in with "Latency". Newer sounds come from Fear Of Flying's BLM, US-based deep house producer Chris Mitchell, DJ Fett Burger and Will Martin collaboration with John Barera; one half of Boston outfit B-Tracks.

Review:
Given the ubiquity of classic garage-inspired house records over the last 18 months, it was probably inevitable that some bright spark would eventually decide to put together a themed compilation. To be fair to Needwant, they've done a pretty good job. While there are plenty of big, scene-defining records present - HNNY's "For The Very First Time", Dusky's "Flo Jam", Medlar's mix of Disclosure's "Boiling" and George Fitzgerald's "Child" - there are also of plenty of admirable cuts from lesser-known names and relative newcomers (see the excellent contributions from Ben Pearce and Purple Velvet). Job done.

Review:
Over the past few years, radio shows have become more and more important for new music and artists to reach a global audience. Pioneered by the likes of Armin, and Above & Beyond there is now an abundance of great shows. One such weekly showcase of quality fresh music is Silk Royal, presented by Jacob Henry and Tom Fall, with the label of the same name also impressing with each and every release. The third edition of their 'Showcase' mix compilation is just under three hours of trance and prog featuring the likes of; Shingo Nakamura, Ad Brown, Dinka, PROFF, Aerosoul, and countless others. A great way to discover some golden gems which you may overlook otherwise.

Review:
Noted New York noisesmith Alan Licht has long been known as a man prepared to take the humble guitar into the outer realms, and so it is on this turn for Editions Mego. Running distorted squalls of six strings into a mess of electronic interference, this is no easy ride but there's a staggering amount of expression worked into the spluttering notes and ranging chords of Licht's Four Years dichotomy. Rarely resting in one sound for too long, this is far from the laborious patience-rewarding tropes of the noise scene and far more visceral, even as the cranky sonics give way to soothing harmonious passages. It may sound at times like an accidental racket, but anyone with a love of punk and hardcore will find this resonating with them like few other projects in the avant-garde world.

Review:
Daniel Menche has been on just about every credible experimental label around, from Jon Wonzencroft's Touch to Antifrost and coming back this time on his regular Editions Mego spot. His productions are complex and brimming with grit, having been an inspiration for countless contemporary artists, both within the field of noise and drone. but also house and techno. His latest amalgamation of sounds comes in a two piece format, each part consisting of almost twenty minutes of madness, starting with "Marriage Of Metals 1", where Menche goes straight in with a bang, propelling his usual blend of metallic power electronics and convoluted background atmospherics. "Marriage Of Metals 2" carries on from its predecessor, this time calming the storm but utilising the same wardrobe of acoustics and sonic accessories.

Review:
Quanta Of Light sees a New Touch broadcast from a truly pioneering figure of modern electronic sound design in the form of Daniel Menche. Having been producing since 1989, he's featured on pretty much every serious label there is in the world of ambient, drone, noise and experimental music, and we finally have this beautiful LP cut see a deserved digital release. Each collage is a near-20 minute voyage in the ether and starting with "Quanta of Light I", Menche builds and destroys his own personal sound world, with an individual ability to align crude noises with majestic, unwinding pads, to paint a rather delicate but bold picture of his own musical ideas. The same can be said for "Quanta Of Light II", where the concept unfolds with patience and grace to leave us yearning for 20 more hours of wide-screen soundscapes.
