Review: Dekmantel rounds off a hugely successful year with a compilation that reflects the organisation's multi-faceted approach. At one end of the spectrum there's the dubbed out groove and spacey vocals of Peaking Light's "Blind Corner" and tropical act Bruxas' left of centre beats, while at the other end Robert Hood delivers the blistering techno of "Red Machine". In between these extremes, there are Dekmantel-supported artists such as Betonkust & Palmbomen II - impressing here with the Legowelt-esque "Renaat Egypte" - and zeitgeist-defining names like Lena Willikens and Matrixxman. Add in some Dutch scene veterans such as Tom Trago, on fine form with the epic but understated "Working Machines", and it's not hard to see why 2018 was a great year for the Dutch collective.

Review: A true staple of the Amsterdam scene, the Rush Hour affiliated Yuri Boselie aka Cinnaman takes up the reins for local institution Dekmantel's extended tenth birthday celebrations with this mastermix. It takes in the entirety of the 10 volume edition - what an effort. What may seem as an outrageous challenge - what with the compilation's genre diversity and wide rage of tempos - it's a success, for they've certainly found the right candidate. Cinnaman plays a wide range of styles anyway, and is never afraid to mix the known with the unknown - he has a reputation for his remarkable combinations and transitions. From moments of sublime ambience (Italian ambient legend Gigi Masin with the utterly evocative "Maja") to bass heavy electro bounce (courtesy of Egyptian Lover or Syracuse & Epsilove), right through to techno bangers of the cerebral variety (by Donato Dozzy & Peter Van Hoesen or local hero Talismann) and stuff by Bufiman or Tony Allen - it's a solid effort here by one of Holland's finest selectors.

Review: Aside from hosting a pretty spectacular line-up each and every June in the Amsterdam area, Dekmantel also know how to lay down some hard dance tunes and, since their inception, they have been a pillar to the modern house and techno spectrum. This series of releases marks ten years of activity from the Dutch crew, and they certainly know how to celebrate in style - Bufiman's opening "Hymn To The Moonface" is a stunning slice of progressive sci-fi rolling, Betonkust and Palbomen II's number is sleek and tech-minded, while Scotland's Space Dimension Controller rolls through with some spectacularly cinematic electro-tech, and Lena Willikens' appearance is marked by raucous bass tones and sharp-edged beats. BIG.

Review: Matias Aguayo's Comeme label has long been a source of decidedly different electronic music - house and techno variously influenced by South American rhythms, post-punk disco, new wave and the deeper side of futurist synth-pop. This fourth label compilation confirms the imprint's unique vision, gathering 10 fine tracks and remixes from the likes of Ana Helder, Lena Wilikens, Sano and Carisma. Highlights come thick and fast, from the psychedelic flutes and foreboding, low-slung rhythms of Borusiade's remix of Helder's "Track Con Flute" and Aguayo's deliciously percissive re-make of Wilikens' "Howlin Lupus", to the early Orbital chords and Intelligent techno rhythms of RRoxymore's "D-Memory".

Review: It's hard to believe that Phantom Delia is Cologne-based Lena Willikens' debut record as it has more personality and identity than 99 per cent of music being released right now. Bookended by the dense, droning title track and the brooding bass textures of "Howlin Lupus", Delia is as expansive as it is diverse. "Nilpferd" is a spooky soundtrack about an unfortunate soul who has lost their way, while "Asphalt Kobold" sees Willikens drop slow-motion hip-hop beats and punishing subs. Despite all of these offbeat twists, there is also no doubt that Willikens can rock a dance floor - "Noya Noya" is led by tight 808s and noirish electro stabs and "Mari Ori" is a brilliant, mysterious groove whose only, admittedly vague reference points are Clock DVA and Silent Servant.
