Review: Having blessed the world with his remarkable debut album Arashi in 2018, Kusp returns with more spell-binding sounds. All future-facing, heavily mystic and immersive, "Opium" takes us deep into Kusp's dark hypnotic lair and there's no way back. "Not Who You Are" and "Dynasty" follow and both excel in using vocals as textures that drive their narratives in a similar way to Conduct have done in the past. We end with a complete switch-flip as "XO" strips things back to a wobbly alien halftime vibe. Close your eyes and taste the future.
Review: Lynx is hammering them out right now. His once-dormant label Detail now charging back on turbo cylinders, he's returning to a wide range of archive material and finally giving it the life it deserves. Each cut unique and repping a different side to the longstanding artist, it's Lynx at his most unpredictable and exciting: "Street Lights" rolls with a TC-style vocal charm and stretchy, elastic bass groove while "Jungle Side" is a far-out trip down future's memory lane with its stuttering FX and staggered breaks. True originality.
Review: As if a 15 track of unreleased gems wasn't quite enough from the legendary Mr Disco Dodo, here comes another five-piece set that spans serious eras and dimensions. Highlights include the fuzzy calypso jauntiness of "Some Day", the lean rolls and tubular groove of "New Shoes" and the slower-motion big-drum funk festival "Jungle Pop". Each cut likely to be at least five years old, they remind us just how long, how creatively and how uniquely Lynx has been chiselling his skills. The devil truly is in the Detail. Essential.
Review: After last year's album adventure on Hospital Lynx returns with his old imprint, beat-melting creativity and uncompromised attitude. "WHAT!" sums up our frustrating times with a riotous steppy drum arrangement and venom hanging off every spat-out sample. "Coffee Blanche" steps back from the scrap and looks up to the stars with a futurist riff that you'll be humming into the next century.
