Review: Ninja Tune veterans Letherette, AKA Richard Roberts and Andrew Harber, drop a long-player on their own Wulf label that packs 19 "full-length" tracks, plus the same 19 cuts served up as one continuous DJ mix. Those quote marks are there because "full-length", in this instance, means anything from 1:07 to 2:35 - really these are more just skits, sketches or interludes than they are "tracks" or "songs". But with the 19 ranging stylistically from smoky, soulful jazz to wonky, funked-out hip-hop, via laidback Balearica and moody downtempo bizniss galore, creative/battle DJs will find much to work with here, while the mixed version will make a fantastic summer BBQ soundtrack for the rest of us.

Review: Dusty, jazzy lo-fi grooves are the stock-in-trade of Wolverhampton-based duo Letherette, known to their mums and the taxman as Richard Roberts and Andrew Haber. Since producing three albums for Ninja Tune in the mid-2010s they've mostly focused on their 'Brown Lounge' mixtape series, a strategy that's presumably been working as they're now up to the fifth installment in just two years! As they rattle through 20 tracks in just over 40 minutes it's hard not to sometimes feel it would've been nice if a few of the featured sketches and scribbles had been fleshed out a little more, but this is something of a headnodder's delight nonetheless.

Review: Comprised of Andy Harber and Richard Roberts, Letherette have become staples of Ninja Tune - having released their third album on the imprint with 2016's Last Night On The Planet. Having recently created their own Wulf imprint (probably named after the stomping ground of Wolverhampton), Brown Lounge Vol 1 was the first Letherette album in the Brown Lounge series written between 2006 and 2008. Many of these tracks first appeared as excerpts during the heyday of Myspace and bootleg copies could be found floating around on Youtube and other sights. This is where it all began and they are pleased to announce the album will be available, digitally, for the very first time on their own imprint. There's a treasure trove of lo-slung, neon-lit and disco-tinged Balearic oddities on offer, in addition to a few blunted hip-hop joints for good measure. They are perfect as DJ tools or for looping for any serious DJs ergonomic pleasure.

Review: Wolverhampton based duo Richard Roberts and Andrew Harber aka Letherette return on Ninja Tune with their new full length: a 40-minute mix of previously unreleased productions have been unearthed in conjunction with their recently released second album for "Last Night On The Planet". This collection which explores ambient and deeper beats territory was originally released on a limited run cassette, but will see a digital release in 2017. Harber has stated that the tracks were "saturated onto cassette (Marantz CP430) a number of times to give it a crusty, aged and brittle edge, the playlist was conceived on a typically bleak night-bus ride through Birmingham."

Review: In the 12 years since he unfurled acclaimed debut album Clarence Park, one-man electronica factory Chris Clark has produced a vast body of work. He's been particularly busy on the remix front, completing a huge array of reworks. It's this work that makes up the vast majority of Feast/Beast, a remix retrospective (which, curiously, also includes some notable reworks of his material) split into two distinct halves. The first disc, Feast, focuses on the more melodic, other-worldly end of his output, delivering wide-eyed remixes of Amon Tobin, Kuedo and, most beautiful of all, Silverman. Beast, the second disc, moves into darker, tougher territory, joining the dots between techno, bass music, vintage hardcore and wonk-hop thanks to notable versions of Massive Attack, Maximo Park and Depeche Mode.

Review: Although the Letherette duo may hail from Wolverhampton, their hearts seem to lie in sunnier climes on the basis of this release. "D&T" is a gorgeous slice of shimmering synth-heavy Euro-disco, compressed and propelling, it's the sound of hurtling down the Cote D'Azur in vintage sportscar in 1986. Clark delivers an equally killer slo-mo version, while Dorian Concept throws in some steel drums and rat-tat-tat-tat percussion in his mix; The Invisible provide a lovely chillwave mix too. Bonus track "She Shines" throws a bit of jazzy trip-hop in the mix for good measure.
