Review: It's hard to believe that Cocoon is celebrating its 20th anniversary, but what's not difficult to grasp is that Sven Vath's imprint is marking the occasion in style. Rampa and Emanuel Satie kick-start this compilation with emotive, tranced out tracks - in particular Rampa's "2000" is particularly poignant - while Cocoon mainstays like Gregor Tresher and Ricardo Tobar up the pace with the musical but clubby techno of "Nostalgia (Is The Enemy)" and "El Eterna" respectively. As always, Cocoon strikes a flawless balance between showcasing local producers and international names; 20 Years is no exception and features frazzled acid from Josh Wink as well as steely percussive bangers courtesy of Planetary Assault Systems and Jacek Sienkiewicz.

Review: It looks like 2019 is going to be Tobar's year. Having dropped his vivid, expansive Continuidad album for ESP Institute, he now returns to the label with more heat. "Recife", which featured on the long player, is presented in 'Bailemix' format, making it a searing, sensuous groove that resounds to steely drums and a searing, low-slung bass. It's a mesmerising, hypnotic track, one that is sure to get played at festivals this summer. On the flip, the Chilean artist drops a new arrangement. "Cuatro Meses De Verano" is a slower, more complex groove, featuring epic, Italo-style synths and the murkiest bass tones this side of Nation's catalogue.

Review: Ricardo Tobar takes the listener to electronic music's outer limits on his latest artist album. Like the aesthetic of that other great producer of Chilean origin, Ricardo Villablobos, Continuidad is a sprawling, vivid affair. It moves from the gritty guitar sounds of "Les Vagues" and "Totem" into the jangling percussive rhythm of "Recife", before edging back into abstraction with dirge-like arrangements such as "Purple Sun, Rising" and "Vestigios". Tobar even touches on psychedelic textures on tracks like "First" - whose detuned guitars and tripped out nuances sound like early Pink Floyd getting it on with Spacemen 3 - but eventually makes his way back to the dance floor with the expansive groove of "Birds". Continuidad is a journey in the truest, most cosmic sense.

Review: Chilean producer Ricardo Tobar has released music on far more labels than most, building up an impressive discography that includes outings on such lauded imprints as Border Community, Traum Schallplatten, Cocoon and, most recently, Correspondant. Here he adds another fine label to his bulging CV via a four-track missive on Lovefingers' ESP Institute. There's much to admire throughout, from the jangling South American instrumentation, Balearic atmosphere and loose house grooves of opener "La Dormida", to the sleazy synth bass, quietly forboding synthesizer lines and restless cowbells of standout "Liturgia". The fun doesn't stop there, though: both "The Lake" - a skewed trip into psychedelic leftfield house territory - and weirdo closer "Star Alliance" are superb.

Review: From his native Dusseldorf to his adopted home of Berlin, Alex Niggemann's name is synonymous with the German tech house sound and appearances on a who's who of labels in recent years. From Poker Flat, Last Night On Earth and Tsuba to his own respected Aeon and Soulfooled imprints, he has shown his knack for deep and sexy grooves and his last eight years of DJing and studio prowess is on display for the latest edition of Australia's Balance series of mix compilations. The programming on Balance runs the gamut from deep, dark journey tracks (Gui Boratto "Joker" (Dave DK mix)"/Baikal - "Pelican's Flight"), dreamy hypnotism (Aril Brikha/Sebastian Mullaert - "Illuminate"/Antigone "Blue Note") and some new exclusives from the man himself, such as the mighty slow burner "Divergent". As always, there's a bonus track featuring all the aforementioned on a continuous mix.

Review: Desire Records mainstay Ricardo Tobar on Cocoon? We were just as surprised as you! But it's for real and the Collection LP was testament to this. One of the most overlooked albums of 2015 now gets the remix treatment. The Jonson brothers team up again as Midnight Operator for a rare remix on "Angora", a bleepy and driving epic that combines the trademark sound of both acclaimed producers in an electrifying frenzy. Dial boss Lawrence is also onboard for a remix and he too lends his unmistakable purist deep house vibes to "Red Light"; all emotional strings, dreamy keys and mellow beats that is, overall, oh so bittersweet.
