Review: Following his "Moonbeam Rider" single for Nina Tune, this new instrumental EP from Greg Feldwick's alias finds the UK producer straddling the gaps between bass music and broken beat/nu-jazz perfectly. The opening title tune is a slow and spacey delight, complete with slowly unfurling arpeggios and some truly unexpected static gaps. "Whirlpool" follows a similarly astral path, while the beatless and cinematic "Dragon Drums" and the Boards of Canada-esque "Mist" are both future classic Ninja Tune cuts.

Starkey feat Central Spillz
Played by: Dev79
Review: New out on Ninja Tune, Philadelphia producer Starkey teams up with MC cartel Central Spillz for this feisty new release. Having previously dropped tunes for Planet Mu, Trouble & Bass and Keysound, Starkey is well versed in laying down messed-up bass beats, and on this remixed version of "Open The Pod Bay Doors", he mixes live sounding, grime-structured percussion around multi-octave bass power while the UK rappers simply tear up all mics in sight. A canny, US take on grimey dubstep styles.

Review: FaltyDL arrives on venerable UK imprint Ninja Tune with his most accomplished productions to date in tow. Typically, trying to pigeon-hole this release into a single genre is an exercise in futility, with sounds and textures flittering between disparate samples and tempos with effortless ease. Title track "Atlantis" is a melodic, smudged out roller with a bassline that evokes memories of LCD Soundsystems' "Tribulations" which dovetails snugly with some twangy plucked instrumentation. "Can't Stop The Prophet" is more adventurous still, with crackly atmospherics, toyed-with vocals, sumptuous strings giving off a languid, relaxed air; that is until the frenetic jungle breakdown arrives! Up next is the hip-hop esque swagger of "My Light My Love" and clattering hats and deep house chords of "The Sale Ends". Highly recommended.

Review: It's been some six years since renowned misery guys Kevin Martin won plaudits for London Zoo, a typically dark, intense and aggressive full-length that showcased his unique ability to blend dubstep, grime, dancehall and dub techno textures into nightmarish new shapes. Angels & Devils, his belated follow-up, is intriguingly different. While the second half of the set is blessed with plenty of robust, floor-friendly riddims (each blessed with vocals from a range of impressive collaborators), the first half is an altogether more downbeat affair. In fact, it's these moments - the droning, dub-inflected ambience of "Pandi" and the bluesy, soundscape dub-soul of "Save Me" - that hit home hardest.

Review: The artfully titled Ninja Tune Traktion EP finds the storied label dip into their vast archives to offer Traktor DJs exclusive stems to help convolute their sets with a range of obscure sounds and classics. For some basslines and synths to throw over drums or percussion the Bogus Order Reorder of Falty DL's "Atlantis" is an obvious choice, as can be said about the snares and hyperactive synths of the Spacelab remix to Starkey's "Blood Roses". The manner in which Seiji messed with that classic synth riff to Coldcut & Hexstatic's "Timber" ensures his remix can always be left as is, and for something more melodic and liquid funky there's the chiming and remixed sounds of DJ Food's "Dark Lady".

Review: Alfred Darlington. Quite why you'd pick a pseudonym when you already have a name as incredible as Alfred Darlington at your disposal is a mystery, but then, it's one of many brilliantly odd things about both Daedelus and his ever-evolving music. From indie-tronica, to the deeply warped hip-hop of his "Exquisite Corpse" album, his MF Doom hook-up "Impending Doom" or his 2006 sample-tastic release on Mush, "Denies The Day's Demise", Daedelus has covered a huge amount of ground. Since signing with Ninja however, he's distinctly upped the tempo and applied his scattered, bricolage techniques to making electronic/dance music in his own idiosyncratic way. As a prelude to new album Bespoke, this first single features Canadian electronica producer (and former Plug Research labelmate) Milosh on the vocals and positively charges out of your speakers at a galloping 130bpm tempo. With a thick kick and a juke-like clap keeping time, a wave of samples gets slowly filtered up, much like the start of "Make It So", but even more bug-eyed and delirious. Short loops of urgent strings samples nestle up against tight bass hits, barber shop quartet backing harmonies, even guitar chanks that sound eerily like they've been sampled from Arabesque's "In The Heat Of A Disco Night". Milosh's languid vocals fit like a glove over this sea of soaring noise, as he takes time over each line and allows the melodies to float over the top of it all like a saxophone player playing a deliberately restrained solo. The whole thing reminds hugely of Radiohead's "Idioteque" but constructed with warm organic sounds rather than icy electronic ones. A Floating Points remix of "Tailor Made" is lined up for the future, which will no doubt be pretty special, and on the strength of this first single, Bespoke looks like being an essential purchase too.

Review: We were over the moon to see that Koan Sound, one of the most respected electronic production outfits in the UK, have finally made their return release, courtesy of the Vision Recordings team. It's safe to say that this is a pretty mind boggling selection, kicking off with a system-thumping half-time masterpiece of a title track entitled 'Chronos'. The levels of clarity these guys are able to pump into their synthy goliaths are off the scale, with 'Red Shift' following up with another reesey punch of production wizardy. Next, 'Traverse' takes a more minimal approach without losing any of the potency, with 'Aeon' giving us a storming finale, focussing on a much more harmonic side things. The champions have returned.

MacHinedrum feat Dawn
Played by: Big Dope P
Review: Is it just us or have Ninja Tune gotten progressively better over the years? Whether it's your thing or not, the imprint invariably come through with the goods, and they always manage to capture the very best from their artists. This time, it's a remix of Machinedrum's "Do It 4 U" by Darq E Freaker, who decides to take the original's r&b sensibility to the next level; the result being a loud, penetrating pop tune with a heavy EDM influence. If you'r into your big crowds, big parties, and superstar moves, then this is your gear

Review: When Machinedrum drops a single on Ninja Tune's catalogue we instantly know two things: a) it'll be an immediate favourite of ours, and b) there's an album on the horizon. Here we have "Dos Puertas" from the Sepalcure associate, a tune whose identity is hard to pin down and categorise; the beat is all over the place in terms of structure, but that doesn't matter because it has that typical Machinedrum sound, a sonic swagger that broadly fits under electronica but that also meanders into broken beat and r&b. Masterfully executed and stand-out, as usual.

Review: One of the summer's runaway crossover slammers, "I Don't Wanna Hear" saw three fine minds colliding for a grime fusion piece that fits festivals and clubs perfectly... Here we find Toddla and Danny's beats and Jammer's distinctive tones getting the treatment from a perfect range of artists. Mike Skinner kicks off with a skippy riddim and twisted accordion bass flex while Digital Soundboy's latest family member Mella Dee takes us on a very naughty slo-mo amen-heavy jungle vibe. It's Q who really steals the show, though... Adding DRS, AK and C4 to the mix, it's a happy-slapping 4/4 UKG jam of VVVIP proportions. Trust us: you will want to hear this!

Review: Yes - Sheffield native Toddla T gets back to basics on London bass institution Ninja Tune! It's a one tune pile driver, but certainly enough to get the hairs on your spine tingling. Vocalist Jammer joins him to add his wacky North London vibes and Danny Weed beings forth the filth to deliver a seriously abrasive low-ender for the hazy, summer months! All three on form here, don't sleep.

Review: Bad to the bone... Following his remarkable fusions with Earth earlier this year, the Bug continues to flex his finest collaborative muscles with two dirty, paranoid grime cuts. Flowdan takes the lead with an autobiographical tale over a cosmic dirge that palpitates with industrial rawness. Next up: Killa P and Irah who get savage over a sizzling reese bassline that builds and smoulders with intensity of a Hardware night at The End in 2005. Complete with two riddims, this is The Bug at his most direct and dangerous and ready for the dance.
