Review: Billy Veitch aka Denial had four huge tracks signed to Asbo Records in 2012 and some of those had support from the drum and bass scene's biggest names. He is also the promoter of Siren, a Brighton based drum & bass event. His 2013 vinyl release in collaboration with Act One titled "What You Need" finally receives a much deserved release on digital here; it is a hi-tech steppa from the darkside that sounds just as good as it did eight years ago. There's also the savage breakbeat science of "Peaches" (original mix) that would make even the likes of Ink & Loxy stand up and notice, in addition to the complex subterranean beats of "Sub Creation".
Review: Over the last two or three years, New York's Minimal Wave outpost has focussed on releasing plenty of new music that fits in line with their unashamedly 'cold-wave' approach, and this has opened them to a whole variety of listeners and DJs. However, in our opinion, where they truly shine is in providing the underground masses with compilations such as this latest The Bedroom Tapes: A Compilation Of Minimal Wave From Around The World 1980-1991, a glorious snapshot of all the very best slices of lo-fi that has largely gone unnoticed to the modern eye. Of course, the majority of these tunes are now expensive in their original formats, but we're taking about a small crew of Discogs sharks who are upping the prices. Here, you're able to properly - and peacefully - enjoy some of the very best minimal machine-drum soul from peeps like Karen Marks, Vorgruppe, Perfect Mother and Aural Indifference, among others. This truly is a feast for the modern digger. Excellent.
