Review: Some compilations can be tough to review because their 20 or so tracks all sound very similar, and it's hard to come up with enough words. Here, we have the opposite problem: there's no room here to really do justice to the sheer variety that 'Feels Like Home' has to offer. But just to give you a snapshot, the album opens with Spindyrella's dusty, looping 'Sinnlos', before bringing us lo-fi hip-hop from Imaginary Friend and wistful neo-soul from Karya . Then, by the time we get to the garage bump of Lavan's 'Bring It Back' and the 90s house nostalgia of 'Jetson G's 'Bleep Express', we've worked our way up to the dancefloor - but not before we've had doses of jazz fusion from George John, indie-dance from Real Velour, mind-warping digidub from Sempra and a whole lot more.

Review: Moff & Tarkin's latest release on DCR is an electrifying testament to Iceland's vibrant music scene. Currently based in Vienna, M&T delivers some hard-hitting acid and breakbeat rave anthems. Opening track, "Dry Paint" is an old-school acid house techno framework with catchy vocal samples to ignite dancefloors. Following this, "Boyhood" blends laid-back vibes with rave energy, offering a unique breakbeat experience. "Show Up!" shifts to an old-school 90s hip-hop feel, merging acid sounds and trance-y arpeggios over a solid breakbeat. Felix Leifur's remix of "Dry Paint" adds an exhilarating twist, turning it into a breakbeat frenzy. Where 'da' party at.

Review: Based in Reykjavik, Iceland, since 2012 and established by by Jonbjorn Finnbogason & Viktor Birgisson, Lagaffe Tales celebrates a decade in the game with this terrific various artists compilation. Label staple Felix Leifur serves up the slo-mo balearic bliss of 'Cohen Social Club', Moff & Tarkin get some emotive sunset breaks in effect on the mood music of 'Pure Fury' while Jonbjorn - on point as always - contributes the glassy-eyed electro cut 'We're Not Alone' and finally Viktor Birgiss delivers the deep and dubby afterhours cut 'Ad Handan'.

Review: Having been with the label since its launch in 2016, Moff & Tarkin (real name Magnus Felix Tryggvason) is Lagaffe Tales longest serving and most reliable artist. It seems fitting then that the imprint is releasing his debut album, "Man of the Match". It's an assured and largely hugely enjoyable affair in which Tryggvason variously reaches for stomping tribal house beats, razor-sharp acid lines, two-step garage tropes, rave-ready riffs, undulating synthesizer lead lines, psychedelic sounds, hip-hop samples, drowsy deep house chords and lots of dense layered percussion. It's largely a formidably floor-friendly affair in which the Lagaffe Tales regular puts forward his particular brand of giddy retro-futurism. It's a better album for that, too, as it remains deliciously difficult to pin down throughout.

Review: We loved the first instalment of Secret Crunch's compilation style Secret Bunch series (released back in October 2017), so naturally hopes are high for this follow-up. Happily, we can report that it's really rather good. Bavarian studio buff Sam IRL ensures an impressive start via the jazzy electric pianos keys, breakbeat-driven groove and squeezable deep house vibes of "Come Back", before Mexican producer Soul of Hex cleverly wraps '89 style warehouse stabs and piano solos around a bustling drum machine groove on "Solid Nature". Flip to the virtual B-side for Moff and Tarkin's eyes-closed deep jazz-house treat, "Young Val Kilner" and the hot-to-trot, chord-smothered U.S style deep house bump that is Clang83's "Seaside".

Review: Lagaffe Tales is a record label founded in Reykjavik 2012 by Jonbjorn Finnbogason & Viktor Birgisson. Their second release features four tracks from their homeboy Moff & Tarkin: it's actually just one bloke named: Magnus Felix Tryggvason. Hence the alias. and he's not even based out in Iceland anymore, he lives in Vienna now apparently! Anyway, Big Mango Bangers gives us a good taste of the fresh style that the guy has to offer. The A side has two sturdy soul edits, 'Naked' and 'I Got This' and as the label themselves best put it 'work some superb sample action.' 'Mutual Distraction' gets some neon lit 80s house vibes happening in the vein of Lauer or Tuff City Kids while the bleepy and entrancing 'Skutlais a great DJ tool in the vein of fellow Scando Todd Terje.
