Review: Hot on the heels of last year's 1987 long player comes this fine follow-up from Benedikt Frey. Fastlane starts off at a slow pace with the introspective breaks of "Habits" before Frey accelerates headlong into the title track's intense, fuzzy techno. "Gasoline" tells a similar story, albeit with break beats underpinning dense sound textures. However, it's not all intense dance floor tracks. Fastlane also contains enough sonic curve balls to keep even the most impatient listener engaged. These include the low-slung, atmospheric breaks of "Silverblade", tribal techno on "Crank" and the jittery electro beats and wired acid tones of "Trick Shot".

Review: ESP Institute was the platform for Lord Of The Isles' debut long player, In Waves in 2016. Now he returns to the label for this expansive work. "Endless Beyond" and "Isolarian" are majestic, widescreen pieces, while "Light Nights" is a beautifully reflective piece. When he turns his attention to the dance floor, Lord Of The Isles retains this melodic sensibility. There's a gentle, Lone-style sense of psychedelia audible on "Together", while "Quadralogue" is a brittle dub techno track. But despite these dalliances with club structures, Night is mainly concerned with introspection, as the gentle tones of "Otherness" and freeform electronics and spoken words of "Truth" both effortlessly demonstrate.

Review: Having kick started his career internationally through the likes of Blood Music, Boys Noize Records and a now faded electro scene, Hoshina Anniversary has ebbed his way into the catalogues of DJ Lyster's Youth label, London's Alien Jams and ESP Institute. Jomon presents the artist with a sixth album and third release for Love Fingers' label, and it presents a unique blend of downbeat electronics and industrial jazz to acid techno tracks, harder edged breakbeats and avant pop that all feature Hoshina Anniversary's inherent exotic touch. And for something straight out of the blocks we recommend the house groove and playful hauntolgies of "Rokumeikan".

Review: Ricardo Tobar takes the listener to electronic music's outer limits on his latest artist album. Like the aesthetic of that other great producer of Chilean origin, Ricardo Villablobos, Continuidad is a sprawling, vivid affair. It moves from the gritty guitar sounds of "Les Vagues" and "Totem" into the jangling percussive rhythm of "Recife", before edging back into abstraction with dirge-like arrangements such as "Purple Sun, Rising" and "Vestigios". Tobar even touches on psychedelic textures on tracks like "First" - whose detuned guitars and tripped out nuances sound like early Pink Floyd getting it on with Spacemen 3 - but eventually makes his way back to the dance floor with the expansive groove of "Birds". Continuidad is a journey in the truest, most cosmic sense.

Review: Swiss DJ and producer Ripperton has undergone a significant shift of gears since his early productions for the like of Dessous and Tamed Musiq, among others. While he was very uch on the tech-sided end of the spectrum, he has been scouted by the UK?s excellent ESP Institute, to which he has provided his fourth studio LP, Sight Seeing. Much in line with the existing syle of the imprint, the album is a wondrous voyage of deep-minded electronics, often veering towards the beatless space - the sonic ether, if you will. These fifteen euphoric progressions are nothing but good vibes, and their differentiation resides in an almost total negligence of beats and more traditional experimental tactics. In fact, this is more experiential than anything else, diving you head-first into a mesmerizing whirlpool of hollow drones, propelled by rich landscapes of colourful sounds, with a nod to the new age perspective. Hats off, Mr Ripperton!

Review: Darmstadt's Benedikt Frey has been one of the most exciting talents in electronic music in the last few years. With releases on local institution Live At Robert Johnson and Barcelona's Hivern Discs in addition to his experimental project INIT (with Nadia D'Alo) he returns once again to Lovefingers' Los Angeles based imprint. This is the second time after last year's impressive The Lobbyist EP. Be prepared for more cosmic, post-Kraut psychedelia of the greyscale kind from Frey on his first ever full length release. Highlights include the brooding industrial punk-funk of "Controversial", the slow burning hypnotic techno epic "H For Hysteria" or the Can styled progressive rock of "Keygrind" which really shows off the diversity. Add to that the the woozy acid tribalism of "Push" or "Patcher" which are perfect for setting the mood early at Offenbach's favourite clubs.
