Review: !K7 continue to celebrate The Exclusives DJ Mix series that takes a 'best of' selection of tracks that were produced and performed by the DJs who mixed some of the earlier DJ-Kicks albums. Highlights here include the moody ballroom house of Jayda G's "All I Need", Cinthie's all time classic "Organ" to Leon Vynehall's deeply seductive "Ducee's Drawbar". Mr. Scruff & CyberPunkJazz make the cut with their space oddity "3001: A Space Disco Remix" next to some higher tempo experimetalisms from Laurel Halo's "Sweetie" - and let's not leave out a rare Robert Hood number via the etroit legend's dubbed out "Focus". That, and much more!
Review: For the latest edition of the now infamous Femme Culture compilation, HeForShe get involved with a seriously potent selection of futuristic techno and breaks infused flavour, featuring a vibrant roster of artistry indeed. The names involved include the likes of Bklava, Farsight, Talik, Moktar, Ell Murphy, LUXE, Jennifer Loveless and many more top quality names, all adding something colourful and sonically unique to this very well laden table. Our two highlights actually land directly after each other in the tracklisting, with the bubbling percussive pulses and constantly shifting backdrops of SYZ's 'Purify' leading the way, focussing on some seriously intricate rhythmic design. Breaka then follows this with the super bouncy textures of 'Who's This?', utilizing glittering arpeggios and bulbous bass pushes for a seriously fun time. Excellent work all around on this one, with all profits going straight to UN Women UK.
Review: Technicolour welcomes the super fresh sounds of emerging producer Elkka to its label following a dose of new music from DJ Boring and Studio Barnhus debutant, Sofia Kourtesis. Infusing elements of pop and R&B into a framework of outsider house and synth-led music, Elkka hits all the right notes in the summery and house-felt vibes of "Burnt Orange". With sampled loops and staccato melodies paired with a flow of acoustic drum patterns in "Alexandra", the pure synth and percussive sound of "Euphoric Melodies" rates up there as some of the best next to contemporary producers like Upsammy or Barker. With "Flowers" and "Morning Fuzz" cut from a similar template of tonal noise floors, subtle arpeggios and whimsical vocal elements, Elkka delivers a wholly inspired and new sound to the Ninja Tune sublabel.
