Review: Marking the beginning of the Cleaning Tapes label, Helical Scans brings together an impressive array of characters from the known to the partly known to the barely known at all, sometimes associated with the fringes of house and techno but more enamoured with noise and texture. There are some beautiful, delicate moments here such as from Huerco S and Bantam Lions, whilst in other places the sonic matter is a little more rough. Sagat brings the most discernible beat on "sigh", yet still the atmospherics and adventurous nature of the track take precedent. It's a good thing too, as you're left with a compilation of diverse and consistently interesting electronica from a host of names you can get to know better, which is what 'various artist' releases should be all about.

Review: Ssaliva and Wanda Group are already affiliated to a certain extent, thanks their respective releases for Vlek, with the latter also having previously appeared on both Opal Tapes and NNA Tapes - two of the most interesting labels around at the moment. This time, they go head-to-head for a split release on Svetlana Industries, a young and vibrant label comprised of a diverse spectrum of electronic sounds - from deep, deranged techno to fuzzy machine drones and experimentations. "Fantasy 33" sounds like the beginning of a dream, where watery synths collide to form a meditative cluster of harmonics and chirping melodies, whereas "Arcadia" takes us on a seductive disco ride through sci-fi landscapes and retro-filtered sounds; "Die Gem", on the other hand, re-inserts the electronic sensibility which opened the EP and forms a rather gorgeous arrangement of sequenced basslines and soft, dreary-eyed pads. Finally, "Commencement On Slavery With A Gender Perspective" is the filthiest of the lot, sounding something like Kevin Drumm on a heavy dose of downers, where the minute crackles and noise infusions are balanced against a relatively tranquil, aqueous soundscape.
