Review: Rudolf C is a producer from Australia now based in Berlin, who is co-founder of Salt Mines Records and has released previously on Craigie Knowes, X-Kalay and Sensu. His latest comes courtesy of Gene On Earth's ever reliable Limousine Dream titled Totally Refracted, featuring four groovy and retro-minded cuts. Roll deep with the deep sonar transmissions of "504 Open Space", reach a higher state of consciousness on the broken beat 'n'bleeps of the title track and some old school techno sounds of yesteryear are provided for on "Mind User".
Review: Big week for Melbourne artists, with a release by Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange and now this new one by Salt Mines/Life Sciences Division label head Rudolf C: a young producer now based in Berlin who joins Craigie Knowes for their first dispatch of the year - the Gamma! EP. From the thumpin' 303 madness of "Acid Sandal" to the hypnotic heads down tackle of the title track and the Detroit inspired techno funk of "Shake Hold" - the Glasgow label has started 2021 in fine form.
Review: With most altruistic projects focused on supporting Covid-related causes, it's heartening to see that the Craigie Knowes label continues to support the War Child charity. This fourth instalment is an exemplary volume, and features expansive, wide-eyed ambient pieces from Night Tide's Eluize and The Burrell Connection sitting alongside the twitchy, acid-infused breaks of Rudolf C's "Crystalliser". Scene veteran Warlock also contributes, with the busy, noisy electro of "Shock Headed" - which is similar in style to "Real Seeker", Stellar Om Source's contribution - while on "Transitions", Innershades steers the compilation back towards a more melodic direction. While these tracks all stand out in their own right, the fact that they are supporting a good cause makes them even more precious.
Review: 1990s sitcom fan turned lo-fi deep house royalty DJ Seinfeld is the latest selector to contribute to K7's long-running DJ Kicks series. This digital download edition naturally contains his mix - a hugely entertaining musical voyage rich in dreamy chords, bustling breakbeats, groovy deep house workouts, skewed techno and post-IDM curiosities - as well as all 21 tracks in unmixed, full-length, DJ-friendly form. Highlights are plentiful and include the downtempo bliss of the producer's own "I See You", the bass-heavy breakbeat/deep house fusion of Rudolf C's "Deep C Survivor", the quirky electronics and low-slung grooves of Falty DL's "Freak Acid" and the loved-up wonder that is Project Pablo's "Who's It For?"
