Review: Veteran Irish producer Leopoldo Rosa aka Lerosa is back with a new one this week on local imprint Lunar Disko. The Trust EP features six terrific tracks all delivered in his singular style; it opens up with the experimental synth intro "Who Can You Trust', followed by the moody, almost John Carpenter-ish soundtrack vibe of "Revelations' and 'Reborn'. Elsewhere, he heads to Detroit on the sci-fi electro of "Condition 1" and the acidified computer funk of 'Slow Bear'.

Review: Dublin-based producer Leopoldo Rosa, better known as Lerosa, comes to local label Lunar Disko with an EP of blistering electro, packing four original tracks plus a remix from Italy's Marco Passarani. 'Authority' itself is the all-out peaktime electro assault for the tracksuit-wearing purists, 'Grey Violet' has a slightly funkier feel redolent of Italo and other early 80s Euro styles, while 'Background Check' captures that 80s Yello/Art Of Noise vibe nicely. 'Ummon', on the other hand, is a more mellifluous affair that could cross over onto progressive/melodic house floors, while Passarani's re-rub gives it a darker, moodier twist.

Review: Ireland's Lunar Disko is back in the game with another one of their immensely entertaining collaborative EPs, and this one is featuring a selection of artists whom we feel particularly fond of. For starters, our man man John Heckle is in the place repping the UK-side of techno, leading the lines with the wonky, off-kilter electro-acid cut named "Steel Sky", while label regular Conan comes through with an insanely lo-fi techno cut called "Neptune Racing" that feels like it was made in the basement of a sweaty Chicago studio circa 1989. 214, who is another familiar face, drops an aerial attack in the form of a paranoid, brooding artillery of glitchy electro by the name of "Deep Ellum", whereas VC-118A's relatively more placid "Face The Waves" delves into a much deeper and floaty downtempo mode for the early, early sets...

Review: Frustrated Funk, Shopwrec and Central Processing Unit are just some of the quality labels on which the enigmatic 214 has delivered his wayward strains of electro and techno on. This new single for Lunar Disko is straight-up, high calibre business, as per usual, starting with the mesmerising pads and alluring soundscapes of "The Breakfast Club", a beat-driven escapade through a wave of majestic synths. "Lunar Landing" is more on the Dutch electro side of things, thanks to its sub-aquatic beats and general demeanour while , "Jade" injects some Chicago house live through an industrial filter, and "Hurley" liquifies its synths down to a thick pool of sonics and subtle beats. Gorgeous music.

Review: Despite an impressive discography and fine reputation, Irish techno twosome TR-One has been surprisingly quiet of late. In fact, this EP for Lunar Disko is their first release of note for three years. As you might expect, the four tracks are mostly informed by the classic house and techno strains of the US Mid-West - it is called Chicarlow after all! There are occasional nods towards more creepy, hypnotic European fare (see "Wolseley"), and early '90s style "intelligent techno" ("January 13th") too. Our pick of the bunch is "Lights In Your Rear View Mirror", a shimmering, Motor City-informed chunk of glistening techno futurism blessed with wonderful chord progressions and spacey melodies.

Review: The perennially excellent Irish label Lunar Disko goes conceptual to celebrate the tenth release in a peerless discography, with regular contributor Automatic Tasty on board to "tell a tale through his machines of a lonely Wicklow field from dawn till dusk". Across this neat release the erstwhile Automatic Tasty works through various musical moods to successfully fit the imaginary periods. Thus the A Side draws on bright analogue textures amidst playful think break on "Field In The Morning" with the mood increasing in upbeat tone on "Field In The Afternoon". The flip slowly plunges towards the dusk the bubbling clouds of "Field In The Evening" while the mysterious acid-tinged "Field by Night" neatly leads us into the darkness.

Review: This may well be the strongest release on Lunar Disko yet. Created by Wicklow-based producer Jonny Dillon, it moves from cheeky, Cassetteboy-ish sample silliness ("Keep Your Receipt") to glistening, "On"-era Aphex-ish electronica ("Small Hours") via a series of glistening, synth-laden jams. There's great beauty on show throughout, from the classic break and fluid synth combo of "Beannach Mhar", to the Italo-goes-IDM rush of "Over The Hill". Arguably the strongest cut, though, is "Tropic Exchange", which sounds like an unlikely hoedown between Global Communications, Orbital and Bottin. Like the rest of the release, it sounds simultaneously dated and gloriously fresh.

Review: ARP-obsessed disco/house/techno fusionist Mario Pierro returns with an EP of intergalactic grooves and menacing sci-fi disco. Lead cut "Night Theme" is unashamedly dark and menacing - vintage synth-wave disco bristling with cosmic intent, acid squiggles and stargazing swagger. "Lunar Lander" is a touch jollier but still curiously spooky, all drifting female vocal samples, wobbly bottom end and glassy-eyed Lost in Space electronics. Both tracks are good, but for real thrills check out the included Rude 66 remixes. These slow the pace to little more than a brain-melting pulse. As a result, both mixes sound creepily threatening and eerily grandiose.
