Cosmin TRG – Gordian

by Juno Plus on 30.04.2013 at 14:30pm

If you work with youth in some capacity, you’ve probably made homemade playdough before. And if you’ve made homemade playdough before, there’s inevitably that kid who decides to blend every available type of food colouring in the spectrum together, resulting in a purply brown lump of goo.  While the structures that Romanian-born, Berlin based Cosmin Nicolae is creating on his new album Gordian are much more complex than mixing flour, oil and water together, there’s a compelling drive to add more and more components that Nicolae himself seemed surprised by when speaking to Juno Plus earlier this year. “To be honest, I’d intended the whole album to be really minimalistic and kind of hypnotic,” Nicolae stated, “and it’s not minimalistic at all. I didn’t want it to be musical, and it is fairly musical. There just seems to be a lot of stuff going on, when in fact I was trying to subtract.”

King Midas Sound – Aroo

by Juno Plus on 30.04.2013 at 09:07am

It’s been a while since King Midas Sound graced our ears with some fresh material. While there was something of a stopgap from Hyperdub in the shape of the remix version of Waiting For You, it’s surprising to think that four years have passed since the trio of Kevin ‘The Bug’ Martin, Roger Robinson and Kiki Hitomi put together the heart-breaking collection of nourish lovers rock. Now a new single comes forth for Ninja Tune, and in true Kevin Martin style you can forget all previous form for KMS and start from scratch again.

Various Artists – Space Consortium Vol. 1

by Juno Plus on 29.04.2013 at 13:15pm

Flight Recorder Records launched last year and in a very short space of time it has managed to notch up some incredibly well received releases from Mushrooms Project, Cottam, Danny Dorado, Emil Strunz and Iron Blu aka Mickey Clarke. The latter runs Flight Recorder and is a bonafide veteran of music with a discography stretching back some 30 years – the fact Trevor Jackson included the 1981 track “Slipping Again” from his former band Naked Lunch on his Metal Dance compilation last year being a perfect example.

Various Artists – Eglo Records Volume 1

by Juno Plus on 29.04.2013 at 09:00am

What makes a great record label? It’s a subjective matter, of course, and the ingredients of success vary from label to label, and from scene to scene. Keen students of legendary labels, from post-punk outlets such as Stiff, Celluloid and Factory, to modern day underground success stories such as L.I.E.S , International Feel or Night Slugs, will tell you that there are certain characteristics that remain constant throughout. These include, but may not be limited to, a distinctive musical aesthetic, a vibrant group of key artists, an attention to detail lacking in lesser labels, and a steadfast artistic vision that never wavers, regardless of sales. Oh, and owners that don’t just know their stuff, but are open enough to new sounds to take calculated risks now and then.

Sandwell District – Fabric 69

by Juno Plus on 26.04.2013 at 13:12pm

For a collective whose productions defined the tone of post-minimal techno, a mix CD seems like an inauspicious end. Then again, Sandwell District was never given to following convention. In part, they rose to prominence because they didn’t play the live tweeting, photo-sharing game that techno has succumbed to, something that they observed when they called time on the label via a blog post on the fascinating Where Next? tumblr site. Of course, Sandwell District would have meant nothing were it not for their music and the sum of the production talent that Regis, Function and Silent Servant brought to the collective.

ADR – Chunky Monkey

by Juno Plus on 26.04.2013 at 10:42am

In the grand scheme of electronic music, it’s only been a short while that Aaron David Ross has been actively releasing material, yet already in that time any thread of stylistic consistency seems to be rapidly unraveling. It’s an interesting notion that can be often viewed as problematic, suggesting an indecisive spirit and a reluctance to perfect one discipline rather than having a crack at many different ones, but then in the illustrious world of machine music and its infinite possibilities, fortune tends to favour the brave.

Versalife – Vantage Point

by Juno Plus on 25.04.2013 at 18:03pm

Boris Bunnik is best known for his work as Conforce, but it’s as Versalife that he really impresses this writer. The project has already yielded the excellent – and highly collectible – Night Time Activities series for Clone West Coast as well as an EP for Frustrated Funk. While the Night Time Activities records were largely inspired by US electro’s esoteric artists – Drexciya and Gosub both spring to mind – the EP for Frustrated Funk and now Vantage Point show that Bunnik has retreated farther and farther down an introspective, and at times, abstract path.

Kowton – TFB

by Juno Plus on 25.04.2013 at 14:05pm

Considering Kowton’s TFB is only the third release from Glasgow-based All Caps in 18 months, it seems remarkable that the label’s releases should inspire the kind of fevered online excitement usually reserved for their more well known peers in the crossover world of techno and bass. Retro 70s sci-fi typeface aside, the label’s hand-stamped aesthetic isn’t anything particularly unique, but more so than most low-key operations of its type, All Caps’ steadily increasing reputation lies in the high level of quality control that goes into the music selection process overseen by Ryan Martin, Matthew Muir and Bake – no doubt informed by their show on Glasgow’s Subcity Radio.

Gherkin Jerks – Stomp The Beat/1990

by Juno Plus on 25.04.2013 at 12:30pm

While this writer feels Larry Heard’s output has been hit-and-miss for some time – the superb 2006 cut “The Sun Can’t Compare” being the outstanding ‘hit’ in a relative sea of recent mediocrity – there’s no denying his immense contribution to the history and development of house. Of course, he’s most fondly remembered for his Mr Fingers and Fingers Inc productions, which almost single-handedly developed the blueprint for deep house as we know it today.

R-Zone – Houz Nation

by Juno Plus on 24.04.2013 at 10:30am

There’s a fine line between belief and passing trend out there in the insatiable whirlpool of names, tracks, labels, podcasts and forums which we so eagerly ingest on a day-to-day basis which is manifested through distinctive footprints of honesty and credibility.

Solar Bears – Supermigration

by Juno Plus on 23.04.2013 at 12:53pm

In a rose-tinted cross-pollination of vintage psychedelia and bold production, Solar Bears follow up their debut LP She Was Coloured In with a decisive leap forwards. The duo of John Kowalski and Rian Trench represent the less considered side of Planet Mu Records, remaining faithful to the imprint since their inception and reflecting label boss Mike Paradinas’ love of indie synth pop – something that came to the fore with his recent Heterotic project.

Outboxx – Outboxx

by Juno Plus on 23.04.2013 at 09:30am

Following a succession of well received releases spanning moody Detroit instrumental dance tracks, classicist 90′s slow burning house, and New York bassline thump, Matthew Lambert and Jacob Martin have done a formidable job of developing their Outboxx project into a force to be reckoned with. Sometimes accompanied by vocalist Naomi Jeremy’s vocal stylings, the duo is in the process of ascending into their own recognized niche within Bristol’s current sonic state, ably assisted by two years of appearances on Idle Hands, Well Rounded, Immerse and perhaps most memorably BRSTL with last year’s Through The Night release.

Miles – Faint Hearted

by Juno Plus on 22.04.2013 at 15:01pm

Given the sheer number of projects and aliases Miles Whittaker already has a hand in – Demdike Stare, Pendle Coven, and a whole host of others – it seems almost counterintuitive for him to release anything under his own name, primarily because so much of what makes the music under those monikers so compelling is their certain level of mystique. Whittaker hides himself behind concepts, samples and arcane moods; whether it’s the occult VHS aesthetic of Slant Azymuth, the junglist techno of Millie, or the hardware only, one take approach of Suum Cuique, each of his projects has a distinct feel of its own.

Djrum – Seven Lies

by Juno Plus on 22.04.2013 at 09:18am

On the surface, Felix Manuel’s output as Djrum seems to capture the zeitgeist of ‘post-dubstep’ or whatever other tag gets applied to that particular spin-off from the original bassweight sound. The melancholic chords, displaced vocal snippets and crisp beats are certainly not on their own in these times, and previous singles for On The Edge and Smokin’ Sessions tapped into this idea with aplomb. Now settled nicely into 2nd Drop Records with two EPs behind him, Manuel delivers his debut album and in turn gets to expand on the more unique facets in his sound.

Legowelt – Elementz Of Houz Music (Actress remixes)

by Juno Plus on 19.04.2013 at 14:30pm

Actress and Legowelt may not come across as very compatible at a glance, but they actually have quite the shared heritage. Both of their catalogues trudge through the difficult-to-pin-down territory between experimental and dance music, and each producer appears capable of balancing their introverted and extroverted sides by managing an eclectic output while retaining a hermetic loner mystique of sorts.

Mr Beatnick – Savannah EP

by Juno Plus on 19.04.2013 at 12:23pm

If there’s one thing that comes through about Mr Beatnick’s productions, it’s the sheer musicality of it. It’s been a slow and steady ride getting to know the artist, not least on this most recent trio of Synthetes releases for Don’t Be Afraid which have crawled out one a year and culminate in this latest EP. With very little else to listen to in between times, it actually makes for a nice change being able to sit back and reflect on the select tracks that have made it out into the public consciousness, compared to the whirlwind release schedule many labels and artists seem to embrace.

Ike Release – Dream Sequencer

by Juno Plus on 18.04.2013 at 16:30pm

The notion that labels no longer act as filters doesn’t hold sway when one considers the M>O>S operation. Set up by Aroy Dee in 2003, its original purpose was to release music by the Dutch producer himself as well as close associates like Delsin boss Marsel (as Peel Seamus) and Jochem ‘Newworldaqurium’ Peteri under his Ross 154 guise. While fads and fashions have come and go during the intervening decade, M>O>S is inadvertently positioned as one of the most relevant labels of the moment.

Steve Summers – The Outermaze EP

by Juno Plus on 18.04.2013 at 13:48pm

One of the biggest surprises of the recent L.I.E.S. showcase in London was Jason Letkiewicz’s live hardware performance under his Steve Summers alias; while his music has always been characterised by the kind of rawness only analogue hardware can provide, there was something especially bleak about it. Steering away from the classic Chicago house inspiration he’s been mining over several releases for Jack For Daze, Construction Paper and L.I.E.S, and devoid of the even sweeter melodies of his recent collaborations with Bookworms, his set had more in common with the recent crop of hardware techno coming in from the noise scene – albeit a little less severe.

John Beltran – Amazing Things

by Juno Plus on 17.04.2013 at 15:00pm


If ever there was an aptly-named album it’s Amazing Things, John Beltran’s ninth album. The Michigan producer has been synonymous with introspective ambient music since the 90s, but Amazing Things sees him embrace a wider palette to create arguably his strongest work to date.

Funkineven – Dreams Of Coke

by Juno Plus on 17.04.2013 at 09:31am

When Gene Wilder accepted the role of Willy Wonka in the disturbingly psychedelic 1971 movie Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, he did so under a very important stipulation, contending: “When I make my first entrance, I’d like to come out of the door carrying a cane and then walk toward the crowd with a limp… As I walk toward them, my cane sinks into one of the cobblestones I’m walking on and stands straight up, by itself…I start to fall forward, and just before I hit the ground, I do a beautiful forward somersault and bounce back up, to great applause.” When probed about why this request (a scene which never took place in the book) was important, Wilder replied: “because from that time on, no one will know if I’m lying or telling the truth.”
