Review: Automat's fifth album ignites a musical blaze with Heat. This offering from the Berlin-based band marks a departure from their previous works, embracing a more unified, warmer, and rounded sonic. The title-track seamlessly weaves together intimate dub, resonant basslines, intricate delays and some deep blue trip-hop alongside some velvety down-tempo ballads with, of course, some reggae and wax lyrical influences throughout. The album embodies a transformative process, not just in its lineup changes, but in the newfound energy and passion it exudes. With the addition of keyboardist Max Loderbauer, producer Ingo Krauss, and the brilliant contributions of Scott Montieth (Deadbeat), singer Barbie Williams, and guest vocalists Gemma Ray, Prince Alla, and R Zee Jackson - Automat's evolution is nothing short of stunning, making Heat a beautifully crafted opus that runs like a finely tuned machine.

Review: Noted reggae vocalist Barry Biggs comes under the Emotional Rescue microscope here with celebrated LA digger Patrick Billard aka DJ Duckcomb remixing one of his cuts. First up is the original version of 'Illusion' which has big pianos over the clean digital dub. The soaring vocal is obscured by plenty of lush effects and melodies. After a version twists and contorts the original, the DJ Duckcomb Discomix slows things down and ups the dazzling disco vibes but keeps the dub dubby bottom end to ensure plenty of dance floor impact. This is a classy one as ever from this label.

Review: Om Unit pleasantly surprises us with the second volume of Acid Dub Studies, a project that seamlessly melds his adoration for the 303 with studio wizardry inspired by musical legends like King Tubby, Adrian Sherwood, Jammys, and Basic Channel. This follow-up strengthens the compelling narrative established by its predecessor, venturing into groove-centric territories while maintaining a captivating sonic journey, backed up by Om Unit's drippin' 303 bassline, space echo techniques and outboard production traditions. With all tracks coming in around the three-minute mark, they make for great future interpretations of the Jamaican dub 7" sound, only to be enjoyed by a new extra-terrestrial audience at large.
