Review: Image Man's discography may not yet be bulging, but it already includes a couple of killer singles built around dusty deep house loop jams, and melodious, Motor City-influenced explorations. On Glance, the New York native's debut for Vancouver institution 1080p, he continues on this theme. There's much to admire, from the snappy drum machine rhythms and jazz-funk loops of "More", and spacey, Detroit inspired dancefloor dreaminess of "Else", to the glassy-eyed new age house positivity of "Glance". Closer "Goobye" [sic], with its' thick, sludgy, delay-laden drums, swirling sound effects and distant vocoder vocals, is reminiscent of the halcyon days of ambient house.

Review: Having impressed with a fine debut single on First Second Label earlier this year, Ashlee Luk and Lida P bring their minimal violence project to 1080p. Their sound - a combination of dreamy pads, fluttering melodies and punishing, occasionally distorted drums - is a perfect fit for the Vancouver label. There's little to fault throughout the five tracks, with highlights coming thick and fast. Check, in particular, the tactile synth-bass, drowsy chords and cymbal-heavy rhythm of "Crete Is Calling", the acid-flecked late night trip that is "Authority", and the sweaty, ghetto-house influenced thump of title track "Night Gym".

Review: UMFANG is the production alias of techno-minded Brooklyn resident Emma Olson, who made her recording debut with 2015's 1080p-released cassette OK. This marks her first appearance on wax, and sees her joining the dots between fuzzy, polyrhythmic techno and otherworldly ambience. She begins with the intelligent techno-era acid lines and heartfelt synth-strings of beat-less number "Riffs", before heading skywards with the fizzing electronic riffs and wide-eyed rush of the similarly percussion-less "Force". Flip for two fine examples of her techno nous - the stomping, post apocalyptic "Ecstatic Layer" and polyrhythmic thumper "Spaces On Spaces" - and the deliciously weird ambient cut "Entrada".

Review: Since debuting last year, J. Albert has showcased his brand of hard-to-pigeonhole dance music on an impressive array of imprints (Lovers Rock, Black Opal and Cult Trip included). Here, the Exotic Dance co-founder pops up on 1080p, treating fans of the Vancouver institution to a quartet of ear-catching compositions. While there are a few fairly typical 1080p type cuts present (see the dreamy, breakbeat-driven deepness of "All In", and head-in-the-clouds broken house of "Strictly J"), it's arguably the most eccentric cuts that hit home hardest. Chief among these is opener "Pangs", which feels like pitched down jungle-jazz fused with horizontal deep house, though the bumpin'-but-ocean deep "For Soho" isn't far behind.

Review: Those who checked out Allergy Season's recent Allergy Edits release may have stumbled on a track from the previously unheard Complete Walkthru. It turns out to be a new pseudonym from 1080p regular Max McFerren, and this is the Brooklyn producer's first full-length under the alias. While many familiar McFerren traits are present - think vintage breakbeats, wiggly acid lines, intelligent techno sounds, and hardcore-era sub-bass - much of the music on Complete Walkthru is far deeper, melodious and - in the label's words - "contemplative" than his fizzing, floor-friendly singles. The result is an album that refuses to stand still stylistically, contains all manner of colourful, vibrant highlights, and pushes McFerren further towards home listening territory (despite the presence of some particularly bold drum rhythms).

Review: It's amusing to see some outlets calling the latest release by Thomas Brown and Aaron Turner aka Perfume Advert 'garage house'. The reality is that the northern English duo takes influence from the hazy deep house sound carved out by DiY during the 90s. Sure, there are vocal samples on "Mirror Shield", but like the Nottingham collective's releases and DJing, Perfume Advert bury them deep inside cavernous chords. "Single White Junker" follows a similar path, with a powerful bass supporting the dissected samples. Perfume Advert then turn their attention to German influences, with "Destiny Bond" sounding like Terry Lee Brown Jnr at his dubby best and "Gown" veering down a clicks'n'cuts route.

Review: 1080p's latest full-length comes from Elan Benaroch, who used the opportunity to debut a new alias, Elka. Chants is, in many ways, typical of the Vancouver label's output of late. Melodious, tactile, dreamy and spaced-out, it sees Benaroch paying tribute to a variety of vintage styles, from classic Chicago deep house ("Pass Groove"), and early '90s intelligent techno ("Expander"), to loved-up, Sueno Latino-era Italian dream-house ("BBX1999"), deep acid ("Silver Beach", "Couch Trax"), and boogie-flavoured synthesizer house ("Heard & Seen"). Predictably, it's a hugely enjoyable set, with Benaroch getting just the right balance between analogue-rich fuzziness and head-in-the-clouds melodiousness.

Review: Originally released in 2016 on local imprint 1080p, Vancouver duo You're Me recorded this album of downbeat experimental grooves on Salt Spring Island - located in British Columbia's Gulf Islands. Comprised of Yu Su and Scott Johnson Gailey, this is grainy and lo-fi music in the tradition of recent Vancouver electronica. Canada's third largest city that has given us revered labels in recent times such as Mood Hut and Pacific Rhythm, with their distinct aesthetic dictated by a slow life amidst the region's beautiful scenery and temperate climate. From hazy ambient house and drifting dub techno experiments, through to psyched-out soundscapes and a bit of drone, it's all rather captivating in its diversity.

Review: Vancouver's 1080p has brought up plenty of Canadian house talent over the last few years, first by releasing LNRDCROY's debut LP, and then offering a sublime selection of cassettes by artists like Moon B, SETH, or Feingold. This time they're back with a 12" by newcomer Ex-Terrestrial, who proceeds to drop four absolutely soul-warming house track that contain a distinctively British vibe to them - but not int he current sense of the word, we mean what British house and techno used to sound like back in the 90's, that is, exploratory and cinematic. "Paraworld" is a jittery slice of absolute brain dynamite thanks to its luscious pads, while "Aletheia" chucks in a load of slithering breakbeats among the stomping bass drums and deep-throated baselines. Then you also have the sparse and aqueous drones of "Dreams Of Jupiter", followed by the slo-mo jungle rhythm called "Blue Smoke". a great little EP, coming very highly recommended.

Review: Kansas City's Brandon Knocke aka Body-san, follows up the great Corporate Interiors release on 100% Silk last year. As 1080p best describe themselves "Shining The Money Ball has a polished, synthetic naturalism.. and gets its sound inspiration from jazz-funk, 1970s & onward library music, and also creates a vague, unspecific but 'perfect crime' cinematic narrative". Particular highlights include the dusty, offbeat soul of the title track, the emotive Larry Heard influenced deepness of "One Million Brazilian Dollars", the '80s pop inflected vibe of "Wet Bar" and the lush ambinet house of the gorgeous closing track "Koko Chats Online".

Review: Having first made an impression via a couple of chugging disco reworks on Common Edit, Khotin has spent the last couple of years delving deeper into the world of analogue-rich deep house, ambient and electronica. Here he continues this trend, returning to 1080p for the first time in two years. Naturally, it's a woozy, dreamy and occasionally intergalactic affair, with the Canadian producer doffing a cap to early '90s IDM ("Recycle (Drift Mix)"), acid-flecked dreaminess ("Human Voice"), and undulating, Mood Hut-ish deepness ("Recycle (5AM Reflection Mix)"). Best of all, though, is "Baikal Acid", which somehow manages to draw all these strands together on one picturesque, clattering gem.
