Brainfeeder
Played by: Juno Recommends Experimental
Review: An intriguing artist for the Brainfeeder label since 2018 - Little Snake presents its debut album: A Fragmented Love Story, Written By The Infinite Helix Architect. The Canadian producer - real name Gino Serpentini - has been deconstructing dancefloor norms, subverting traditional structures and refining his utterly inimitable sonic signature since 2017, spearheading a new wave of experimental producers hell bent on breaking new ground. Presenting an overtly deconstructed aesthetic full of mind bending sound design and a unique way of crafting vocals and MPC-styled melodies, this very explorable album takes in collaborations with Amon Tobin and Flying Lotus alongside fellow upstarts SABROI, Tutara Peak and Shrimpnose. Fantasmic listening.

Review: Two years on from the release of their fine - if slightly overlooked - debut album on Comedy Dynamics, Reggie Watts and John Tejada once again join forces as Wajatta, this time on Fly-Lo's Brainfeeder imprint. Predictably they've once again hit the spot, confidently combining deep house musicality, the far-sighted synthesizer motifs of sci-fi techno, African style percussion, dewy-eyed and often soulful vocals, and occasional forays into drowsy downtempo beats and fizzing electro rhythms. The results are naturally impressive, offering an imaginative and colourful sound palette befitting of both men's talents. Highlights include the sparse electronic soul of "Depth Has a Focus", the body-popping beats and low-end weight of "Little Man" and the futuristic soulful house brilliance of "Tonight".

Review: Yup, that's right - new Brainfeeder LP for all you electronic nerds to dig your teeth into! This time we have a new artist on the block, Miguel Baptista Benedict, a low-key musician who impressed the label so much with his debut 12" Astrocongertion Oporium that he was given the immediate go-ahead for a full-length work on one of North America's biggest electronic labels. It's kind of hard to capture the depth and diversity of this work, but there are certainly some stand-out, blow-your-mind moments in here, such as the opener "Phemy", a piano-led excursion which is just a delight to listen to. "Purge" is also fantastic, where harsh drum patterns meet slow, deranged guitar delays and harmonics, while "Anxious/Upset" pretty much sums up what the whole noise-rock scene is all about: loony instrumental feedbacks and sparse drum rolls, but it's all about "Blink 192" on here, with its unpredictable post-punk drum shuffles and jittery sci-fi melodies fusing into one beautiful mass of sound. It's now wonder Brainfeeder have picked this dude up - it's downright sublime.

Review: That one of this year's best techno albums has been made by a Dutch dubstep artist and is issued on a label owned by an LA hip-hop figure says a lot about the increasingly blurred boundaries within which it operates. Ironically, the backbone for Ghost People is the purist-influenced Berghain sound that has dominated techno production in recent years. In fairness to Martyn, he makes no secret of this, even going as far to equating his European DJ dates to sonic fact-finding missions that informed the album's direction. However, it would be a mistake to assume that Ghost People is merely a replica of unflinching Berlin techno. Instead, Martyn uses it as a backdrop to tease out a range of directions. The title track contains references to the heady rush of rave, while "Twice As" revisits the Dutch producer's love of Detroit techno as sonic blips and spine-tingling melodies are married to more garage-style shuffling beats - perhaps the track's title is a nod to the London 2-step institution. On "Popgun", the producer briefly revisits lurching dubstep territories and there's even a tribute of sorts to Vangelis on the glistening synths of "Bauplan". That Ghost People covers so much ground while remaining close to the filtered rumble of tracks like "Horror Vacui" is an impressive testament to Martyn's supernatural production powers.

Review: Essex might seem an unlikely base for someone creating decidedly wonky, off-kilter electronic music, but then Lapalux doesn't conform to lazy stereoptypes. Having previously impressed with a suitably strange but surprisingly melodic EP of abstract grooves on Picture Music, young producer Stewart Howard now finds himself dropping a debut album on Brainfeeder. Those who enjoyed his previous work will love When You're Gone. It solidifies his growing reputation as a bolder, edgier version of James Blake, offering a mix of twisted, next-level future R&B ("Yellow '90s"), touching downbeat soundscapes ("102 Hours Of Introductions"), delay-laden electronica ("Construction Deconstruction") and bright-eyed, abstract wonkiness ("Gutter Glitter").

Review: Stuart Howard aka Lapalux is here once again for his second EP for our beloved Brainfeeder imprint...and my word, this guy is a machine! With him, we have the lovely vocals of Kerry Leatham, who immediately makes herself heard on the radio edit of "Without You", a decomposing bundle of semi-beats and dwindling pads whose purpose in life is solely to make your evening's that little bit more deep and sexy. There is also an original version for all your instrumental needs, but it's the alternate version of "Swallowing Smoke" which really does the business here - harsh-stepping hip-hop beats over that trademark Brainfeeder excursionism we all adore so much. The previously released "Guuurl" also finds some space on this majestic and soul-warming EP from a very exciting young producer.

Review: In case Gaslamp Killer's album wasn't quite enough excitement for one season, along comes this crazy conceptual work by My Dry Wet Mess. He describes the album as being written in the same way a writer would create a story, but with sounds. Created in four different houses between Barcelona and Berlin, it's an intriguing concept. And you'll be pleased to hear it works. At points wonderfully embracing (the spliced and diced harmonies and tempo flex on "When We Were Wrong"), at others headscratchingly madcap (the mangled garage vibes of "A Wrong Number") like all the best albums, this will take a long time to settle in your collection, offering something new on every listen.

Review: Making his second appearance on Brainfeeder, Essex-based Stuart Howard serves up another EP of pastoral romanticisms steeped in melody and organic textures. It's the kind of heartfelt, shoe-gazing electronica that comes on with less swagger than many of Howard's label mates, but is no less rich in detail and creativity. "Forgetting & Learning Again" has a strong scent of Mount Kimbie in the sweetly weird synth daubs and loping beats, but bolstered by a greater sense of drama in bombastic chorus drops and thoroughly British vocals from Kerry Leatham. There is tougher beat material to be found, as on the feisty throwdown "Strangling You With The Cord", but it's clear Howard's talents lie in a more gentle place.

Review: Los Angeles-based Ras G, a contemporary of Flying Lotus, has long sounded like a refugee from another planet; a kind of electronic devotee of Sun Ra with his head firmly in the cosmos. Despite being called Back on the Planet, this latest full-length excursion is every bit as out-there and intergalactic as previous releases. For the most part, it sounds like it was beamed down from the far reaches of the universe, offering an unusual blend of alien electronics, acid-fried jazz, other-wordly ambience, twisted African rhythms and hip-hop beats from another dimension. It's inventive, unusual and constantly entertaining. Ras G is a genuine one-off, and Back on the Planet proves that conclusively.

Review: Lapalux and Brainfeeder have something of a relationship and each single release for the label has been better than the last, but we finally have the man's first full-length work and boy does he come correct! As per usual, it's pretty arduous to categorise Lapalux's music and we're presented with an incredibly diverse collection of rhythms and sonic concoctions, such as the twisted, half-stepping cacophony of "Kelly Brook", or the incessant beat-shuffle of "Flower" and the neo-hip-hop vibes of "Swallowing Smoke". Kerry Leatham features on the chimerical sub-tones of "Without You" while there's another special appearance by Astrid Williamson on "Dance", a certified UK-filtered vocal chant, brimming with futurism and enough soul to have you humming along to its hypnotising lullabies for hours on end. Lapalux going in for the kill...

Review: There's a pronounced split between the live incarnation of The Gaslamp Killer and his musical output, where most club kids have him down as some kind of chainsaw dubstep fanatic. However on record he morphs into a wondrous haze of 60s and 70s psych anchored to heavyweight funk. As his EPs promised, his debut album goes headfirst into a searing Molotov cocktail of psychedelic tendencies and exotic samples, from Indian strings to West coast guitars via groovy organs and hard-breaking drums. It's overloaded and messy in many places, red-lining and wild eyed, but anything less would be a disappointment right?
