Review: Glasgow's brilliantly named Invisible Inc label describe themselves as "a home for music from the periphery". Accordingly, if you've come here looking for good-time disco grooves in true 70s style, you're going to be disappointed by this album. If, on the other hand, you have an interest in exploring electronic music's outer, lower-tempo fringes - if you dig extended synth workouts that blur the lines between cosmic disco and full-on ambience, drifty Balearic jams, slo-mo headnoddin' grooves, that kind of thing - then you'll find much to enjoy here, with Natural Sugars' 'Riddurum Invaders' standing out for this writer.

Review: A round of applause for Dave Harvey's Futureboogie label, which is closing its doors after a decade in which it's releases got stronger and more varied year on year. This superb compilation acts as the imprint's final testament, offering no less than 20 previously unheard nuggets from the Bristol-based imprint's nearest and dearest. Given the wealth of high-grade material on show, singling out highlights is tough, but our current favourites include the echoing,'80s alternative pop-meets-proto house dubbiness of Tech Support's 'Writers Block', the alien synths, glassy-eyed stabs and bustling electro drums of Warehouse Preservation Society's 'Ron's House', the kaleidoscopic house psychedelia of Manami's 'Nacros.Is', the bleeping, drug-fuelled oddness of Chez De Milo's 'Need Someone' and the breakbeat-acid insanity of Hard Ton's 'Don't Believe The Hype'.

Review: Viscera Transmissions' first 'Galactic Service Broadcasting' comp was released back in May, as a fundraiser for charities supporting the UK's National Health Service; now here comes Volume 2, with profits this time going to the homeless charity Shelter. With 16 tracks from as many artists to choose from, there's a fair degree of stylistic variety on offer, from the acid electro throb of Duncan Gray's 'Punish' to JMII's floaty, proggy 'Intika', but the emphasis generally is on that region of the contemporary disco spectrum where Italo, EBM and experimental electronica collide, with occasional forays too - as on Owain K's 'Quantum Leap' - into deep house territory. Interesting stuff all round.

Review: Under the Natural Sugars alias, Bristol-based DJ/producer Tim Oxley Smith has previously delivered tasty chuggers and cosmic groovers on a couple of Invisible Inc compilations. This debut EP for home city label Futureboogie Recordings is therefore well deserved. It's also rather good. The star of the show is undoubtedly "Zombie Jungle", a druggy chunk of space disco whose low-slung mid-tempo groove comes smothered in alien-sounding synthesizer lead lines and lashings of bonus percussion. Manfredas turns that into a rushing sprint through throbbing Italo-disco/nu-disco fusion, before Oxley Smith offers up the spaced-out dub disco chug of "The Soothsayer" and the undeniably cosmic shuffle of "Sarsen Trail". As debut singles go, it's a doozy.

Review: With Christmas fast approaching, Glasgow's Invisible Inc invites the family round for drinks, board games and the playing of fresh new jams. One-time edit fiend Gazeebo kicks things off with the cascading deep space synthesizer melodies and rubbery, Chicken Lips style arpeggio lines of "Dancing in Orbit", before Der Kundalini registers his discontent at losing at Monopoly by treating us to the spaced-out, slo-mo synth bubbler that is "Journey Inward". Fired up a few too many glasses of egg nog, Konzel stumbles around a stylistic, synth-heavy dub disco landscape (the fantastic "Haptic Didactic") before arguing with Natural Sugars about who should do the washing up. As the latter's groovy, post-punk disco trip "Riddurum Invaders" is the EP's standout moment, Konzel was left scrubbing the roasting tins.
