Review: A confirmed presence within the landscape of UK dance music for the best part of 15 years, Hypercolour has cultivated its own constellation of artists while becoming a port of call for those hitting their peak within pseudo-mainstream house music. It's Patterns compilation series has always offered rare cuts and remixes from its roster of artists and from the get go here a lesser known Zodiac impresses out of the blocks with a banging dub techno joint "GhostNet". Sebastian Mullaert & Boelja go hardcore Swedish bleeptronic in "Who Are You Really?" with FRAK also included with an old school and lo-fi 909 workout "Berga Magic". Roman Flugel hits a sweetspot as usual next to some lowly jackin tracks by London Modular Alliance, a vocal breakbeat number of classical drum and bass refrain by Mathew Herbert to some tongue cheek rave by Luke Vibert and much much more! Approved.

Review: Gary Gritness returns to his regular haunt, Hypercolour, for this highly conceptual long player. In essence, The Legend is a soundtrack to a 'cyber-funk' tale of street hustling, and unsurprisingly, Gritness has found a way to respires this through the medium of electro funk on "Back with a Vengeance" and "Bent Cop Hustle". On "Big Marcus Knows the Score", he shows hitherto unimagined levels of depth with a mournful, synth-laden piece that's not radically dissimilar from Carl Craig around the time of Landcruising. "Laser-Sighted Smoke" reveals another string to his repertoire as he drops a subtle, Drexciyan workout, while the delectable "Fishnets and a Nine" sees him end up in an electro-tinged easy listening world.

Review: Keytar-sporting hero Gary Gritness made his name via a couple of fine EPs for Clone's Crown series, before popping up Hypercolour last year with the similarly cheery, synth-heavy Sugar Cane Chronicles Volume 1. This follow-up picks up where its' predecessor left off, with Gritness delivering a quartet of jaunty, jammed-out synth-funk workouts. Opener "Steady Choosin" feels like Dam Funk after a fist full of happy pills, while "Countin' Up With Starr" pairs a chunkier, tougher electrofunk groove with delightfully spacey synthesizer motifs. The space funk theme continues on "Runner Joe's Revenge", where densely layered electronic melodies create a dreamy but floor-friendly vibe, while closer "Pool Shark Loot" is a supremely Balearic chunk of pitched-down analogue bliss.

Review: London/Bristol based tech house institution celebrates a decade in the business. They've seen a few faces and phases, tech-wise or otherwise but at the end of the day remained consistent in their pursuit of quality grooves. Alex Jones and Jamie Russell present some great music here and there are many highlights. From electronica legends such as Warp's Luke Vibert, minimal house pioneer Matthew Herbert (with the deep and dusty microhouse of "Downgraded") as well as techno's one time enfant terrible Neil Landstrumm through to new favourites such as Swedish hypnotic techno hero Sebastian Mullaert (the tunnelling "Shadowed By I"), Italian hardware mavericks The Analogue Cops plus up and comers Yaleesa Hall x Malin Genie with the banging' "Buchan Trap". We applaud the label for their ability to keep on the pulse of the ever changing electronic music landscape and heres to another ten years.

Review: On the Sugar Cane Chronicles Frenchman Gary Gritness follows up a great EP on Clone with some vintage sounding jams covered in the right amount of dust again. With the exception of second track (and highlight) "Stayin' Strong Hard" which is a classic EBM jam that's nice and dark, the rest is pretty optimistic and uplifting nu-disco. "Preachin' Some Tight Game" has the right amount of boogie and analogue soul that would make even Tensnake stand up and notice while the deep disco of "Fly Girls" is worth listening to for the rich tapestries of gorgeous and glistening synths.

Review: After a period on the sidelines, the Clone Crown Series returns in triumphant fashion with the first of two planned releases from Gary Gritness, a new project from French artist Tim Becherand. An experienced studio hand, Becherand has credits on works by artists as varied as Orlando Voorn, Dam-Funk, Grant Nelson, and Boddhi Satva to his name, and also experience of playing in various ensembles. The Frenchman resurfaces as Gritness for Clone some 4 years after his first appearance on a split release by My Love Is Underground and this is a much more comprehensive display of his production range. Clearly indebted by the sounds of US cities Detroit, Oakland, and Atlanta, the four tracks here are quite unique with the fast paced flex of "Ridin' With Runner Joe" a notable highlight.
