Review: The Hague's bussin' BAKK label is back again with a hug and kiss in Xoxo - drawing in some 11 tracks featuring numbers from friends and cohorts like Legowelt, Aurora Halal, Ocean and Dont DJ! Furthermore you have intrepid cuts from Antenna with the some heavy break beats in "Spiral" alongside some warm and classic deep house from SFV Acid in "Urbanfury". Checkout those squat rave beats from Tala Drum Corps' "Gargoyle" - plus that acid - next to compilation closer "De Papaverparade" that brings that Miami Rhodes feeling to the floor with some extra heat - those kicks bro! As a concluding release to what's be a wonderful label we don't wanna say goodbye to - Xoxo, BAKK says, is a mighty thank you to the artists that helped the label find its place in Holland's rich musical heritage.
Review: Sonic Transmutations serves as a sonic odyssey commemorating the remarkable three-decade legacy of Clone Records. Celebrating its 31st year, echoing the Dutch national telephone code, and this 33-track mega-comp unites seasoned maestros with rising trailblazers, taking in a swathe of cuts from names like Aleksi Perala, DJ Sotofett and Dopplereffekt to John Heckle and his Head Front Panel project, Privacy, Steffi, Ryan James Ford and more. Dedicated at large to the electro genre, it's taken some three decades to bring this collection to life, standing as a testament to Clone's enduring musical legacy and unwavering commitment to exploring new sounds and structures. Extra tips include cuts from Legowelt, Keith Tucker's K1 project and Convextion's legendary E.R.P alias. Mega drop.
Review: Clone Records' Best Of 2020 may have finally seen the light of day at the end of 2021 on digital - but better late than never! From the old-school house of Masarima's "Freak Like U" (club mix), Frits Wentink doing his typically deep and dusty thing on "Double Man", and Dutch legend Alden Tyrell's Mr Fingers tribute "All We Need" (feat John Marks - '87 Fix), there's more experimental offerings featured too - like Aleksi Perala's mesmerising "NL-L56-19-0869".1 Elsewhere, CRISPR's deeply emotive acid epic "Dyad Symmetry" had us impressed, as did Animistic Beliefs remix of The Exaltics' "Another World Underneath" getting some dystopian electro bass in effect.
Review: Introducing GEN-Y/GF, a new project for the Hague-based Bakk label that in its seven year existence has brought us a new wave of bunker rave from a select pool of artists like Aurora Halal, MGUN and Legowelt to Jerimiah R, SVF Acid and Oceanic! Packaged as a split release of three solo GEN-Y numbers and the chilled out, psychedelic, big beat and trip hop collaboration "Sugarbaby", GEN-Y's own material takes shape in the uptempo booty house of "Drunk On Ya Lips" to the fresh electro and new age sounds of "Earth #4" alongside the harder and acid tripping "Cosmic Desert". Bakk in the game.
