Review: Installing a new set of artists into its roster is the Infine label with a remix EP of the Glassforms album that Bruce Brubaker & Max Cooper released last year. Headlined by the likes of Donato Dozzy and Laurel Halo, there's also a shorter edit of the album's epic halfway track "Two Pages", and additional to that there's the experimental noise version by Tehranian producer Tegh. Daniele Di Gregorio leads the way with Dozzy in a piano variation of "Two Pages" while Laurel Halo takes on the sustained chords and epic strings of the original album's closing track, "Opening". Get your more traditional version from the Glassforms edit.
Review: How can we not think of James Ivory's classic Room With A View everytime this phrase is mentioned...or is it really that we're all just stuck in a room? In Rone's case it's as if, at large, this album has what it takes to get us out of bed and chase down the days in a burst of colour. Take the inspired motifs in tracks like "Human", "Babel" and "Sophora Japonica" to the Burial-esque, deeper and dubby material like "Reverie" and "Liminal". There's riffs, twinkling arpeggios and rolling progressions not far from Oni Ayhun in "Nouveau Monde '' alongside the outlandish claviers and drone of "Le Crapaud Dore". All with what's happening outside right now, a room with a view is a good place to be.
Review: Abstract club sounds from Tunisia make their way into the dance-sphere once more thanks to Deena Abdelwahed and French label Infin?. With varying strokes of percussion, dubstep, tribal and punky attitudes thrown into a mix of syncopated rhythms, atmospheres, textures and field recordings, Abdelwahed's tracks push the experimental aspect of a four-track dance EP to a new extended point. Aggy basslines dominate the shaded and disgruntled market grooves of "Ah'na Hakkeka", brought to call even further by the mystical folk, strings and staccato rhythms of "Insaniyti". More urban and undercover, exotic attitudes make their way into "Zardet Sidi Bagra" with dub poetics laced throughout the deeper club trip "Lila Fi Tounes". Highly Recommended.
