Review: More proof of the growth of the Polish house scene is provided in the shape of a lively, floor-friendly EP from Viadrina, AKA Wroclaw-based Mateusx Kazula and Szczecin's Konrad Slazyk. They're hardly new names - they've already released on a host of labels - but this three-tracker for BPitch is probably their strongest EP to date. "Last Day" offers some woozy, bassy, tactile late night deep house/tech-house fusion - all chiming melodies, ethereal vocals and restless bottom-end - while "Lush Hour" wanders off in a more UK garage-influenced direction whilst retaining an air of deep house warmth. "Lost Soul", arguably the pick of the bunch, rises and falls on a wave of snappy tech-house grooves and wide-eyed electronic melodies.

Review: Listening to this compilation, it's clear that 2013 was a banner year for Ellen Allien's label. No longer so focused on stripped back techno - although the hissing noise and dark bass tones of Camea's "Black Sparrow" provide some connection to Bpitch's back catalogue - Best Of focuses on the area where pop and electronic music meet. The tumbling drums and plaintive vocals on Eating Snow's "Siamese Twins By Choice" could be early period Sting (that's a compliment by the way), while Dillon's "This Silence Kills" is a beautifully fragile serving of ethereal electronic pop. Bpitch can still rock the house when required, as the nasty acid of Snuff Crew's "Bass" demonstrates, but the real highlights of Best of 2013 are the label's leftfield excursions.

Review: As its title suggests, the latest compilation on Bpitch gives vent to the label's deeper side. It begins with Chaim's "Rain", where jazzy textures bubble to the surface over dubby beats. The track has an ethereal, almost subdued feeling to it and is in stark contrast to the raucous minimalism that Bpitch is sometimes associated with. This understated approach isn't confined to Chaim's contribution however; even more dance floor tracks like the pumping bass of Cormac's "The Present" are teeming with emotive undercurrents and Kassem Mosse's version of Ellen Alien's "Our Utopie" sees a series of chiming bells prevail over a pumping groove.

Review: If two years ago you'd said to even the most open-minded BPitch Control fan that the diverse label would be putting out soulful torch songs in 2011, they would have questioned your sanity. However, that's exactly what's happened. On Werkschau, the latest compilation from Ellen Allien's Berlin imprint, the centrepiece is the smoky, seductive soul of Jahcoozi's "Day In, Day Out". It's not an aberration: the other highlights here are characterised by a focus on deeply personal contributions. Be it the muffled vocals on Chaim's dub techno, Sascha Funke's unforgettably melodic techno poem, "Hiddensee" or Kiki & Lenz and Zander VT's explorations of disco-fuelled, vocal-led house on "Morning Maniacs" and "Gotta Look Up To Get Down" respectively, every shared experience is worth its weight in gold.

Review: Globetrotting Australian producer Garry Todd apparently divides his time between Ibiza and Sydney, "chasing the sun" in a bid to keep his Vitamin D levels in the red. You can certainly tell the White Isle influence on this four-tracker for BPitch Control. Lead cut "Onit" sounds like it was tailor-made for dark, immersive, late night moments at colossal Ibizan clubs - Cocoon parties, perhaps - while the bumpin', hissing groove underpinning the thunderous "Feelin" comes on like a Space terrace anthem in waiting. The long, drawn-out chords, cyber grooves and oddball samples that make up "LSD Experience" are undeniably Balearic in feel, as is the loose, swinging, rush-inducing lucidity of the similarly wide-eyed "Dreamcatcher".

Review: The US duo delivers a preview for their latest album. The title track occupies that middle ground between trance, ambience and downbeat that Telefon Tel Aviv have become known for as synths swell and climax and dreamy, seductive vocals unfold over crashing drums. Label owner Ellen Allien drops a dance floor-focused take on "Birds", with a sinewy bassline underpinning a warbling, squelchy acid workout. Mathew Dear chooses an entirely different approach; over a warm fretless bassline, Dear lets a wall of dreamy textures gush forth, propelling the dreamy vocals towards an inevitable climax. Finally, Cocteau Twins fans will be interested in "The Sky Is Black", as it features Robin Guthrie's deep tones, fused with trancey synths and glitchy rhythms.

Review: Despite a career stretching back to 2002, Italian duo System of Survival have been surprisingly quiet of late. This expansive EP for BPitch Control contains their first new material since 2012 debut album Needle & Thread. High on melody and atmosphere, it delivers plenty of highlights. Check, for example, the loose percussion, curious cut-ups and tumbling melodies of "Family Ring", the undulating fuzziness and dreamy pads of "I'm Not Able To", and the near Balearic drowsiness of closer "King of the Beats". The EP also includes a couple of notable remixes, with Hot Creations regular Miguel Campbell joining forces with Matt Hughes for a deliciously squidgy, glassy-eyed take on "Crash What".
