Craigie Knowes
Played by: Juno Recommends Minimal Tech
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.

Review: The Craigie Knowes crew has always been good at snapping up material from rising stars, so it's little surprise to see Italian duo Data Memory Access - whose recent, Mood Waves-released album 'Yearning For Cobalt' was undeniably special - pitch up on the popular Scottish imprint. Predictably, they're in fine form from the off, blending UK garage beats, trippy acid lines, early Warp style bleeps and booming bass on 'Woodwind', before leaping atop a pedestal and dancing like crazy on the chunky rave revivalism of 'Euphoria'. On 'Anthem', they doff a cap to the early days of Orbital (with a dash of dreamy deep house thrown in), while title track 'Hi-Tee' is an arpeggio-driven slab of dark, peak-time-ready dancefloor sleaze.

Review: Experience a close encounter of yet another kind as Jeku joins Craigie Knowes for a mindtrip with his label debut. The 'Surreality' EP features straight up club tracks for DJs looking to lift dancefloors, plus heady tackle to lead the crowd into the outer realms. From the acid-tinged sunrise breaks of "Astral Dream", to the higher state of consciousness you'll reach on the dancefloor bomb "Again", plus classic house motifs galore on the euphoric "Babylon" -
it's an outing of the spirit that rides the arc of the night.

Review: It's hard not to love any release that starts with a speak-and-spell computer voice. When it's fused with robotic tones and hip-hop scratches, it's even more desirable. All those elements are combined on "Earth", the opening track on Reflex Blue's debut Craigie Knowes release. He follows it in quick succession with "Cave Map", a bass-heavy stepper that resounds to insistent tones and, in the background, an insistent siren. "Low End Freqz" sees Reflex Blue focus on stripped-back electro funk, peppered with irresistibly tripped out tones. Turning his attention again to the dance floor, "Witch Medicine" is an acid-laced groove that will have across the board appeal.

Review: Scottish label Craigie Knowes presents a new EP by Guy Contact, a bloke from a land down under that's released on homegrown labels like Butter Sessions, with the Ultraviolet Freqs EP. It features four 'consciousness expanding house tracks primed to tug your mind into the spirit realm' and that's certainly an apt description. It starts with the rolling and bass-driven groove of "Doors Of Perception", equally acid-laced is the low slung "Look Into The Mind" and the psychedelic tech house of "The First Anura Ever Known".

Review: Big week for Melbourne artists, with a release by Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange and now this new one by Salt Mines/Life Sciences Division label head Rudolf C: a young producer now based in Berlin who joins Craigie Knowes for their first dispatch of the year - the Gamma! EP. From the thumpin' 303 madness of "Acid Sandal" to the hypnotic heads down tackle of the title track and the Detroit inspired techno funk of "Shake Hold" - the Glasgow label has started 2021 in fine form.

Review: On the back of a handful of heady EPs released over the last five years, Night Tide label founder Eluize has been tipped as a future star. This well judged and expertly produced debut album - which also happens to be Craigie Knowes first foray into the full-length format - provides further supporting evidence of the Berlin-based artist's ascending status. Check, for example, the fluid, spacey, soft-touch brilliance of intricate opener "Home", the off-kilter deep house headiness of "Say" - in which she sings appealingly over skittish beats and intergalactic electronics - and the Motor City techno shuffle of "Distance". There's much to admire elsewhere across the LP, too, from the deep acid-jack of mind-altering club cut "Disconnect" and the retro-futurist ambient techno throb of inspired closing cut "Still".
