Review: A warm welcome back to Los Angeles artist Eddie Ruscha, who here dons the familiar Secret Circuit alias for the first time in two years. Opener "Stomping Ground" sets the tone, delivering Rushca's usual balance between colourful psychedelia, acid-fired dancefloor haziness and swirling Balearic bliss. In contrast, "Crazy Ways" is a slow and druggy affair, with ghostly electronics rising above a throbbing, analogue disco groove. Flipside "Hedz" is a loose-limbed slab of electronic Tropicana full of delay-laden Afro-beat guitar flourishes and eyes-closed electronic marimba melodies, while "The Feather Drop" is a weirder, rougher and altogether odder mix of wild acid lines, sharp electronics and San Francisco style dub house rhythms.

Review: Glasgow outfit Invisible Inc's latest release comes from Los Angeles' Secret Circuit, a producer whose trippy, loved-up and decidedly colourful compositions have previously graced such labels as Emotional Response, Beats In Space and Stones Throw. The four tracks showcased here are typically diverse; contrast, for example, the reverb and delay-heavy ambient house shuffle of "Gothic Rainbow", with the twinkling pianos and cascading jazz guitars of Balearic closer "Memory Melt". Best of all, though, is up-tempo number "Rhythmatic Generator", which effortless blends elements of psychedelia, intelligent techno, ambient and dub disco into a spiraling, out-there anthem.

Review: Emotional Response open the Secret Circuit archives to some of Eddie Ruscha's contemporaries from the City of Angels for a fine exercise in how to do a remix 12". First up is Suzanne Kraft, aka Diego Herrera who forms one half of Blase along with Ruscha; in his hands the crazy afro-stylings of "Afrobotics" are pulled towards the dancefloor, adding percussion and sirens, forging the originals vibes in to a ethno-beat club jam that is all about that heads down moment. Next up The Samps turns "Shockers" into a warped mesh of psychedelic dance, whilst Superior Elevation's Tom Noble adds some killer boogie vibes to "Underdogs". Finally Sun Araw man Cameron Stallones appears under rare alter-ego Aristrocrat P. Child to re-edit "Roll" in superb fashion.

Review: When Juno Plus spoke to Emotional Response boss Stuart Leath recently, he talked excitedly about his latest time intensive project - trawling through boxes of old cassette recordings from L.A multi-instrumentalist Eddie "Secret Circuit" Ruscha to compile a follow-up to 2012's brilliant Tropical Psychedelics compilation. Predictably, the resulting collection is nothing short of brilliant. Typically eccentric, melodious, atmospheric and bristling with interesting ideas, Cosmic Vibrations delves deeper into Ruscha's archives and comes up with gold. Highlights are naturally plentiful, but keep an eye out for the psychedelic ambience of "Electric Brain", the analogue electronic explorations of "Nova Laser", and "Shockers", an acid-flecked chunk of chiming Balearic deep house with exotic, Arabic touches.

Review: Anything Eddie Ruscha touches is generally worth checking, and this latest outing for Lectric Sands offshoot It's A Lectric World is no exception. Ruscha kicks things off with the Electric Dub, an untypically funky fusion of his usual vivid psychedelics, exotic vocal samples, crunchy guitars and an undulating disco-rock groove. The Original Rub - all bubbling electronics, muted guitar licks and deep house warmth - adds a little Balearic disco flavour, before Ruscha returns to more familiar territory with the delay-laden and pleasingly out-there Lectric Dub. Finally, he reaches for the marimbas on the Pleasing dub, an afro-influenced blast of wide-eyed Balearic sunshine complete with lilting pedal steel.

Review: With recent releases for Internasjonal and Tim Sweeney's Beats In Space Records, Los Angeles based producer Secret Circuit (otherwise known as Eddie Ruscha) has had a breakthrough year with his brittle synth jams, taking inspiration from Balearic disco and minimal wave alike. However, he's been a prolific producer since 1996, and this record on Emotional Response, entitled Tropical Psychedelics, collects productions from Rusha up until 2010 that have previously only seen the light of day on cassette releases. Described by the label as a "Balearic-Tropical-Afro-Psychedelic whirl", the album packs a rich palette of analogue textures into its ten tracks, from the Afro dub of "Afrobotics", through the hazy, beatless combination of piano and analogue synth on "Psouvenirs" to the psychedelic tropicalia of "Foggy Twilights".

Review: New label Invisible Inc has decided to try and hit home hard from the word go, filling this debut "sampler" EP with cuts from artists they'll be working with over the coming months and years. Los Angeles based artist-turned-producer Secret Circuit kicks things off, delivering a typically saucer-eyed blend of yearning synthesizer melodies, elastic synth-bass and dreamy pads. Higamos Hogamos doff a cap to synth-wave and minimal-wave on the wonderfully atmospheric, modular-heavy soundscapes of "Mini Pops", before hirsute eccentric Tim 'Love' Lee melds twinkling ambience and dubby, soft touch grooves on the picturesque "Trip Triangular". Finally, the Poncho Brothers skillfully combine dub disco rhythms, Balearic synths and stoned electronics on the brilliantly named "Airbed Drifter".

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: Invisible Inc bring us a compilation packing 13 cuts from as many artists - mostly new names, though the legendary Tim 'Love' Lee does make an appearance. Obviously with that many artists involved there's a fair degree of stylistic variety, but overall what you get here is a quirky mix of straight-up Italo/cosmic vibes (see Higamos Hogamos's opener 'Mini Pops'), lounge-y kitsch (see The Poncho Brothers' 'Airbed Drifter'), leftfield electronica (see Tross's 'Cashier') and the downright weird (see Paddy Steer's wonky 'Ancihoye'). All told, it's a collection that's perhaps best suited to those most at home playing longer sets to open-minded floors.

Review: Glaswegian label Invisible Inc has released its fair share of music over the years, specialising in all kinds of proto-techno, psychedelic, ambient and cosmic stuff. Dedicated to bringing music from the outer reaches of obscurity to the inner workings of your psyche, Invisible Inc always has a way of finding previously unheard, rare or missed music that sounds as fresh today as the day when it was made. V is For Vision hits that spot again, be it through the epic pulses of emotional bass in Double Discone's "A Pas Feutres" to 80s goa-acid tracks in "Athanato Nero" or via examples of new age/future percussion music in "Soixante Semaines". Label mates Secret Circuit and Sordid Sound System appear in their known ambient and experimental forms, with The Golden Bug hooking up with In Fields for the wandering and tripped out "La Main Jaune".
