Review: Jamie Leather and Christopher Ledger make an impactful Craigie Knowes debut with four mind-bending club jams. Their joint venture as CLJL takes the lead on "Non Terrestrial (Spaced Mix)", delivering a serious concoction of house, breaks, and electronics that pays homage to the golden age of techno and electro, while veering toward touches of trance in "Shadow Speak". Jamie Leather onwards goes solo with both "Thats Enough Now" and "Like This, Like That" adding some warm euphoria to the EP in former next to some classic piano acid and New York vibes in the latter. Break it down.

Sad On The 16th - (5:30) 132 BPM Hot
Review: Melbourne-based producer Fader Cap returns to Craigie Knowes with some deep, melodic and bassline house-electro crossovers. Dope stuff. Featuring four tracks that seamlessly blend club-centric vibes with expansive melodies, Echo Chamber delves deep into a diverse mix of beats tailored for every moment throughout the night. Its lead cut delivers a sweet and aqueous bassline with snares flailing left-right-and-centre, with "Kanizsa" ebbing a few fathoms deeper and bringing with it a subtle touch of '90s trance through its subdued vocal. "Thinker" pumps it up a somewhat with some solid warehouse grooves and flecks of acid-synth and bleep, with "Sad On The 16TH" going minimal in a way that you can see Ricardo Villalobos agreeing with. Doffed.

Review: Brian Kage, a prominent figure in Detroit's electronic music scene, has graced us with his latest offering, the "Analog Heart, Magnetic Soul" EP, released under the discerning Craigie Knowes label. The EP commences with the fittingly titled "Smooth Orbit Over The Detroit River." It's a mesmerizing journey through space and time, exuding the quintessential Motor City charm. This opening track sets the tone for what's to come, as it unfolds as a widescreen, cosmic groove cruise that seamlessly blends classic Detroit influences with a futuristic edge. "Planet Lumina" takes us even deeper into the celestial expanse, boasting ethereal synths and talk box vocals that intermingle with cyborg-friendly electro-funk elements. "The Keyz" continues the intergalactic odyssey with its energetic electro vibes and intricate soundscapes. The EP concludes with "Rouge Like," a track that sends us off with a bang. It features bold, bouncy drum patterns and a dreamy fusion of smeared, dubbed-out chords. The result is a mesmerizing dancefloor experience that encapsulates the essence of machine-made soul perfection.
