Review:
Sebastien Devaud has been through more identity changes than Lord Lucan, and Panta Rei sees him discard his recent flirtations with jazz and neo-classical for something closer to electronic music. The Balearic version of "Panta Rei" invokes the spirit of Phil Mison and "Paper Moon", its shuffling, organic drums providing the basis for shimmering, chiming synths that capture the sound of the waves lapping against the Ibizan shore at sunset. Danton Eeprom's take pushes this feeling to its logical conclusion as expansive, billowing chords and a lowered tempo enhance Agoria's chilled mood. However, the Jon Hopkins version brings the listener back to reality with a bang, its swinging, glitchy rhythm re-imagining "Panta Rei" on the dance floor.

Review:
Arandel sits somewhere on the boundary between electronic and classical music. Released on the always excellent In Fine imprint, his debut album In D is a richly textured exploration of these boundaries - the result being something that is equally applicable as headphone listening or club fodder. The music itself is entirely organic, with the producer (who has thus far managed to remain anonymous) exclusively using real instruments without the help of MIDI, samples or digital sounds. "In D#5" is a notable highlight, with delicate chimes and a nagging bassline that blows you away with its subtlety, while "In D#7" builds into a solid late night jam. Be sure to check out the bonus track "Overture" too, which brings the album to a moody, beatless close. This is one for fans of Four Tet, Pantha Du Prince, Steve Reid and Kieran Hebden.

Review:
French duo Composer take "Check Chuck", one of the standout tracks from their recent album The Edges Of The World, and employ some diverse talent to provide dramatic remixes. First up is Hemlock alumni Breton, who take time out from recording their forthcoming album to take the sweet pop sensibilities of the original and infuse it with some synth-heavy bass-driven punch and minimal dubstep rhythms. Anna Meredith meanwhile provides a remix of organic shoegaze, but perhaps the pick of the bunch is Monokle's sublime reworking which has all the grand scale of M83's finest works.

Review:
Mexican producer Cubenx echoes pioneering countryman Murcof in creating dazzling electronica and affecting beats on this latest album, On Your Own Again. The Lone-esque tech-jumble of "Adrift At Sea", the icy and minimal "Lovebirds" and the deep, beatless Animal Collective-recalling "Mist Over The Lake" all stand out, but there's truly unique production and wide-eyed arrangements at every turn on this impressive release.

Review:
Clearly a band switched on to interesting electronic producers, Cubenx have put together this single release to get their washed-out indie pop refigured by a diverse pair of remixers. Downliners Sekt take the New Order meets My Bloody Valentine of the original track and pitches it down. Bright and breezy synths get replaced with languid string samples, reverbed percussion and a slow-release beat akin to the Mount Kimbie school of half step. T. Williams does the complete opposite, instantly pumping elements of the original through an uptempo house cut. It's sleekly crafted 4/4 for that perfect blissed out moment in a peak time set.

Review:
Having stayed devoutly underground, this release for Agoria's InFine label marks something of a step up into wider exposure for Downliners Sekt, at least comparatively speaking. Their strange kind of step is still intact across both parts of "Trim/Trab", zooming in on miniscule sounds and samples to create a humming and breathing electronica. The way the displaced vocal licks and recorded instrumentation drift woozily in and out of the mix, you know they have found the right kind of label to step up to.

Review:
A split single from French label Infine offers two sublime twists on contemporary bass house. Belgium's Nico Gomez plays it fascinatingly jazzy and subtle in a Nicolas Jaar style on "Drops" - a building vocal track that builds from echoey, double-bass textured beginnings into a galloping romp of ghostly drums. Speaking of ghostly, Janedge's "Ghostly Riding A Horse" uses soft synths and a pared down Balearic bass beat to quickly worm its hazy way into your head.

Review:
It's been a fair old while since the last full-length from French techno pioneer Olivier "Oxia" Raymond; in fact, his only previous album was released eight years ago, way back in 2004. Tides Of Mind bears little resemblance to that set, which bristled with aggressive electronic intent. Instead, Raymond delivers at set that borrows as much from deep house and Germanic minimalism as traditional techno. Of course, there's the odd trip into skewed downtempo pop territory (see the dreamy Mesparrow collaboration "Travelling Fast") and some deviation from the 4/4 template - see "Sway" - but for the most part Raymond keeps the vibe deep, melodic and surprisingly soulful.
