Review: It was back in 2016 that Los Angeles producer Elusive first signed to California's Dome Of Doom label with the French Toasted album, with this latest LP following last year's Bonsai Tree (and Ambient Void on Alpha Pup Records). Filled to the brim with detuned, jazz-tipped and electro-soul vibes, Horizons takes in collaborations from trumpeter Josh Koslow in the new age soul-jazz of "Intuition" alongside some percussive, krautrock fusions in "Vague Emotions" feat Josh Howard live on bass and saxophonist Ian Roller. Finding a place somewhere between the music of Flying Lotus, Clark, Hudson Mohawke and Dorian Concept, Elusive's beats, crackles, pops and computer music are as twitched-out and melodic as they are leftfield and experimental. Let's call it jazz.
Review: It's time to join the Dome of Doom crew for this one as they bring forward unto us, the latest album project from none other than Gnome Beats, an LA based producer who's incredibly smooth production style is gaining him quite the reputation. This project is made up of thirteen sumptuous originals, varying from the experimental clanks of 'Sleepless In Mojave' to the futuristic dance rhythms of 'Ai Kansha' alongside Kokoro Star and classic choppy hip hop flavours of 'Paradise Flip. There are a couple of clear standouts, including the bubbling electronic sounds of 'Firebird' and demonic harmonies of 'Odd Tropics' alongside Wylie Cable!
