Review: Again with the very unique sounds of Lobster Theremin we are treated to some truly experimental composition here as ASOK brings forward four stunning creations. We begin our journey with the emotional soundscaping and shuffling subtle percussive processes of 'Hex', before landing on the more expansive breaks work on the title track 'How It Is'. Next, we find ourselves treading into a more up-beat design in 'Hyperspace', again packed with well cleaned rolling breaksy drum works and expansive pads, before we finish up on the nostalgic waves of 'We Are', rounding up proceedings perfectly.

Review: Rove Ranger follows 2020's 101010 release on Lobster Theremin with a four-track release that takes influence from dance music's heritage while moving ahead. "CS80" is a pulsating affair that draws on old school organ stabs, while the title track also looks to the past to shape the future. Powered by shimmering synths and featuring a ghostly vocal sample, it makes for an evocative piece of old school sounding techno. In contrast, "La Manana" is a contemporary affair that is based on tough drums and shot through with dense textures and incessant vocals. "Horse On Acid" closes out the release in full on acid mode.

Review: Having released on underground labels like Lost Palms and Arts, Trudge now drops his debut on the prolific Lobster Theremin imprint. "Ice On My Neck" is a frenetic slice of rolling tribal techno, powered by a booming bass and peppered with hardcore stabs. The title track is more linear and streamlined, but again features a soaring bass at its centre, acting as the backdrop for acid lines and powerful break beats. "Bird Ghost" sees Trudge deploy cascading drum patterns to dramatic effect, accompanying epic synth builds, while "Night Shift" ups the pace, with Trudge dropping a frenetic but atmospheric drum'n'bass arrangement.

Review: Breaking through the surface last year with a sweet run of releases via the likes of E-Beamz, Sneaker Social Club and Lobster Theremin, the Sheffield three-piece Denham Audio return to the latter with another five-track missive: Transcendence. Taking in the slightest of bleep references atop a jungle groove and soundboy lyrics is "Run Da Ting", get a second bite out of something similar (only graced by rave) in "Retort". Its lead track "Transcendence (feat 7ip7o3)" sees a lo-fi, trippy and drum and bass sound flirt with vocals and textures that evoke imagery from the film Lost in Translation, while for something retro, housier and garage tipped its all about "Top Boy" and "Club Culture".

Review: Tim Reaper, fresh off the back of his nomination in the DJ Mag Best of British Awards, is back with is next EP on the mighty Lobster Theremin, and it's yet another outstanding breaksy contribution to the label's back catalogue. 'Anytime' features Devnull and graduates from wispy vocal work to fractious breaks in a manner only Tim can pull off, with drum rolls coming out the wazzoo and a rave-embedded atmosphere which is simply brilliant. The title track blends bubbling synth lines with choruses of strings that build into clattering breaks with a patter of old-school vibes, another proper underground cut from the master himself. Seminal.

Review: Next up on the Lobster Theremin mini-empire is Shedbug, who debuted on the label last year and has since gone on to release on 1? Pills Mate. Hope starts off in raucous form with the robust acid breaks of "Aciidmuzik", before Shedbug takes a diversion to drop the morbid, ominous bass-led disco of "One Day Later". "Rubber" shows a more considered side to his canon as it veers off into esoteric, break beat-led deep techno, while on the title track, break beats also abound. This time they underpin mesmerising synths that take the listener back to the blissful trance of 90s acts like Legion of Green Men.

Review: Manuel Fischer's debut album wins this month's prize for most unusual title, but it shouldn't overlook the fine music contained within. With releases on labels like Ozelot and Drumpoet Community already to his credit, Fischer is using the album format to expand his vision. Loosely based around break beats, it veers from the warbling acid of "Sci-Fi Breaks From The Rabbit Hole" to the melancholic "Arni Driftking" and mesmerising, droning workouts like the down-the-rabbit hole tip that is "Enter he Void & Chill". While Fischer may have been categorised generally as a house artist - and certainly the lo-fi "Bin Chicken In Fitzroy" pushes in that direction - this is an expansive, out there piece of work.

Review: Hypnotherapy is Nthng's second album, and it underlines the fact that he's one of the most varied artists working in electronic music. On "50 Flower" and 'Beautiful Love", the Dutch producer delivers dreamy ambience before moving into the throbbing groove of "I Just Am', which also features care-free vocals and a clanging rhythm. "Heitt" sees him up the pace for a peak-time, tranced-out groove. However, throughout the release his touch is never rough or visceral - as the pulsating Detroit techno rhythm of "Wave Return" demonstrates so effortlessly. If you are looking for soulful electronic music with a distinctive touch, then you've come to the right place.

Review: Puyain Sanati aka Grammar of Movement debuted on Lobster Theremin back in 2016, and for his return release, the underground artist is releasing on the Lobster UNDR sub-label. The title track is a hyperactive electro roller that resounds to chilling synths and a bubbling groove. On "Model 1600", Sanati drops the tempo but ups the mystery levels, as a plunging bass and razor-sharp percussion undercuts eerie synth lines. On "IOI", there is a similar vibe, but this time, the mood descends into frostiness thanks to a combination of atmospheric pads and blurry 808s. "Sad Juno" sees Sanati bring his sound back into sharper focus with crispy drums supporting chiming melodies.

Review: Marco Gomez aka False Witness makes a big splash on his debut for Lobster Theremin. The title track is a pounding, industrial affair, dystopian in mood and led by a pulsating. juggernaut bass. "Onlyfans" is also a peak-time track, with Gomez dropping steely kicks and a relentless, jacking rhythm that is tailor made to be used in the mix. "Bossa Bathrooms" has a hard dance feeling, as False Witness deploys euphoria inducing builds and a visceral, distorted bass to devastating effect. Meanwhile, on "NYNYNYNYNYNY" he channels ebm influences to deliver a ghoulish workout, as unsettling as a late night ride on the underground.

Review: Nicolas Schmidt aka Narciss follows his 2020 debut on Lobster Theremin with this emotive EP. "Ludmilla" is a rolling affair that features dreamy synth melodies. While the mood is similarly upbeat on "Tall People", Schmidt ups the tempo to deliver a breezy techno groove that is sure to garner attention across the spectrum. "It Gets Easier" reveals a somewhat moodier side to this upcoming producer's sound, with his signature melodies fused with rolling break beats and an ominous low end. "Blicke" marks a return to his usual form, as epic chord builds are fused with a high-paced, rolling rhythm - a seamless blend of emotion and function.

Review: Lobster Theremin welcomes the return of emerging producer Amy Dabbs who follows up her Girl Like Me debut on Distant Horizons by splashing out on its parent label, Lobster Theremin. Throwing down a gauntlet of dub inspired UKG, house and R&B tracks, Amy Dabbs hits the spot with "Allure". Flirting with rave aesthetics all the more in "Second Thoughts", Dabbs keeps it instrumental, bassline heavy and close to the London broken beat scene in 'Take It" - hi-pitched vocals included - with a murky, lo-fi and computer music version of the title-track by Steel City Discs debutante Yazzus.

Review: D.Dan launches his latest EP in storming form; "Switchblade (Descendant Mix)", with its visceral kicks and wild filtered builds, sounds inspired by the more abrasive end of the Synewave catalogue. On the title track, he opts again for a heads-down approach, with ominous filtered chords underpinned by tough kicks, while on "Burnout", the pace picks up and the drums are more relentless as the Berlin-based producer's track hurtles its way towards Advent-style intensity. "Escape The Echo Chamber" is less pac-y and resounds to a rolling house groove and vocal snippets, but even here the underlying feeling is one of understated menace. Offering some solace for battered ears is the deep techno of "Take It Easy".

Review: La Fraicheur has been winning praise thanks to a series of releases on Infin?, and now she delivers a blistering EP for Lobster Theremin. "La Fin Du Debut" is a frazzled, stuttering affair, led by fuzzy percussion, while on "Garbage", she layers a stream of consciousness vocal over a niggling groove and ominous bass. On "Renouveau", La Fraicheur goes for an entirely different approach, with menacing, buzz-saw bass unravelling over a stepping rhythm, while the closing track, "Freezing", is the most forceful. Centred on an industrial strength rhythm and visceral low end, it sounds like La Fraicheur's own take on ebm.

Review: Originally released earlier this year on vinyl via Lobster Theremin's SITU offshoot, Orange Circles marks the debut of previously unheard British producer Memphis Glass. As debuts go, it's one of the most accomplished we've heard for a while. With Memphis Glass drifting between spacey, sub-powered deep house beauty ('Orange Circles'), angular, analogue-rich retro-futurism ('Ilford Depot'), shuffling, picturesque soundscape house ('Robots in Lust') and ultra-melodic dancefloor positivity (the fluid waves of synthesizers, dusty machine drums and floatation tank vocal samples of 'Zunk'). The EP's one remix comes from DOS, who gives 'Zunk' a warmer, hazier and ultimately even more attractive spin.

Review: One of Lobster Theremin's most successful new entrants is the veteran yet currently invigorated jungle producer Tim Reaper, who had a wildly successful 2020 that included a streak of superb EPs on Theremin and its sister labels. Ecospheres is no different, and that frantic jungle sound we all know and love is back with abandon. Coco Bryce, a fellow breaks maestro, steps up for an absolutely incredible remix of 'Give It 2 Me', which crashes through its phases with the grace of an elephant and the atmosphere of the 1990s, as technoid ripples, synth squeaks and sampled soul provide the backdrop to a perfect percussive performance. 'On Repeat' is the other highlight, as pad pirouettes climb on ladders of swirling melodic progressions, up to a peak of pummelling percussion. One of the greats.

Review: Chlar has released on a handful of labels before, and now makes his Lobster Theremin debut with the mesmerising Sacrificed Generation. "Forgot To Dream" is a hypnotic, tranced out affair that is sure to work well in techno and house sets. Meanwhile, on "We Will Bring It Back", Chlar takes inspiration from darker electronic sources to craft a peak-time hard dance track populated by vocal snippets and powered by rave stabs. "Double Dose" follows a tribal techno approach, albeit with the tough drums swathed in menacing hardcore stabs. Rounding off this intense release is the brutalist "Long Time No See", its murderous kicks and screeching samples more imposing than communist era public buildings.

Review: Hot on the heels of Eps on FTP, Mechatronica and Dark Net, Salome delivers her debut release for Lobster Theremin. Both "Stalker" and "Doppleganger" are as dark as Russian winters, with ominous bass tones fused with austere, stepping rhythms. On "Misbehaviour", Salome conjures up an equally powerful soundscape, with pummelling drums providing the backdrop for menacing synth hooks, while "Terror" resounds to rickety broken beats. Lobster Theremin has also commissioned electro maestro Jensen Interceptor to remix "Terror" - and he doesn't disappoint, dropping recycled rave riffs over the kind of murky rhythm that one would normally associate with the Hacker.

Review: Having found a debut release through the Lobster Theremin network via its SITU Records sub label in 2020, Kempston Hardwick now arrives on its parent platform through the five-track EP, Mowbray Street. Inspired by UK garage at large, expect a spectrum of house and touch of electro to grace this EP that's full of pumping drum machine percussion, jackin' rhythms and repetitive pads. With some funky, b-boy breaks entering the mix in "Provoke Iddy", the EP's title-track shines the strongest light on the artist's love for garage. With something more low-slung and Chicago sounding coming through in "Have You Stopped It" get more of a fundamental house groove in "Channel" next to the two-stepping, acid and electro-synthy beats of "Apologies to 25".

Review: With two releases to his name on the label already, London producer Snow Bone could be considered a Lobster Theremin regular. This third 12" continues in a similar vein to previous outings, delivering a mixture of heavy, Robert Hood-inspired rhythms, stargazing electronics, and delightfully redlined rhythms. There's naturally plenty of impressive material to enjoy, from the thunderous kick-drums and looped bleep melodies of "Cult V", to the Skudge-like distorted techno-funk grooves and vintage rave stabs of "Lost Ancient Language". Best of all, though, is the title track, whose modem dialer melodies and throbbing electronics prove the perfect foil for Snow Bone's jumpy, metallic rhythms.
