Review: Following releases on his own Lyssna Records and labels like Banoffee Pies, Adam Str?mstedt debuts on the long-running Kann imprint. The title track is a stripped back slice of deep house, with all of the wide-eyed innocence of early Lawrence releases. On "Kogarah" Str?mstedt ups the tempo but not the intensity, as a stripped back, rhythm supports a rubbery bass, building, filtered synths and a stream of consciousness vocal narrative. "Taronga" sees him change focus once again, with mid-tempo break beats rolling under waves of greyscale sound. All of these various strands combine to make for an effortlessly moody EP.
Review: The typically packed Owain's Lagoon EP marks the final chapter in Crow Castle Cuts hugely enjoyable series which have touched on all corners of the techno and house spectrum. Luv Jam maintains his 100% appearance record on the series, opening up with "Turnipple" a sublime dusty house production that sets the tone nicely, with Schmitt Finger's "Bethsedia Bison" offering slightly more punch whilst still resolutely deep in its approach. Mr Tophat & Adam Stromstedt go star gazing on the expansive analogue cosmiche of "Tingeling," whilst "Valley Crucis Radio Party" demonstrates Cy in equally esoteric mood.
