Review: Inigo Vontier returns to Multi Culti with a crafty four-track EP. "Asi Si" is a rolling tribal house groove, populated by high-pitched tones and repetitive vocal samples. Dub influences loom large on the title track, where spaced out tones are fused with warbling 303s and subtle percussive builds. Vontier takes inspiration from Chicago on "Tumbada", with doubled-up drums and steely percussion providing the basis for gritty acid lines and a clanging bass. "Ultra Jungle" marks another shift in sound. On this occasion, Vontier deploys robust kicks and a throbbing, pulsating bass, making for a delightfully tripped out dub disco track.

Review: Multi Culti presents Orchid's vibrant homage to Spain's trance era on this album, blending Balearic charm with a rejection of modern techno's commercialism. Orchid, residing in a psychedelic-deprived environment, longs for the cultural amalgamation of sensuality, power, affection, and sweetness prevalent in Spanish-speaking music communities. Techno Valencia invites listeners to embark on a nostalgic voyage, conjuring the soul-stirring resonance of a bygone musical epoch. Through the exploration of archival sounds, Orchid revives the essence of unadulterated musical expression, urging a return to a time when music was deeply emotive--a testament to passion and enjoyment in an era overshadowed by commercialization.

Review: Earlier in the year, Multi Culti dropped the first collaborative album from MD Pallavi and Andi Otto, a decidedly cosmic and otherworldly, but undeniably alluring and accessible affair entitled 'Songs For Broken Ships'. This expansive remix package sees a wealth of artists give their spin on tracks from the set. The hits keep coming through out, from Simon De Kunovich's bleeping, intoxicating and heady deep house interpretation of 'Prayer To The Clouds', and Auntie Flo's South African Kwaito-influenced re-wire of 'Clockshop', to Bliz Nochi and Emi Jourjou's head-nodding downtempo rework of 'Velvet Flicker' and Poligra's sitar-sporting outsider house take on 'Puglisi'. Hannah Lee's deep, dark and tribal version of 'Prayer To The Cloud' is also very special.

Review: If alien, otherworldly club workouts with an exotic and intoxicating twist set your pulse racing, you need Thomas Jacksson's latest EP in your life. For proof, check opener 'Belgian UFO Wave', where progressively more psychedelic and intense 'acid' motifs and trippy, post-bleep electronic melodies dance atop a raw, stabbing bassline and hypnotic, locked-in beats. Or, for that matter, the hallucinatory electronic riffs, restless beats and mind-mangling TB-303 lines of 'Young Woman in Kashmir'. The intoxicating, enveloping early morning darkness continues on the weirder and more bass heavy 'Aphex Twinkie', while 'Back In Guadalajara' is a moody and stomping workout that subtly builds in waves.

Review: If spiky, industrial agit-pop is your bag then head straight for the title track here: with a huge throbbing bassline reminiscent of Belgian new beat and an aggy, in-your-face mockney vocal, 'Problem' should go down well with those whose record collections embrace the likes of Gang Of Four, Meat Beat Manifesto and early Shamen. Red Axes supplies a slightly funkier remix while elsewhere, 'Where I Am' is a slab of pounding dark techno-disco that gets smoothed out a tad by Orofo, and 'Funeral Of Past Affections' - oddly - recalls nothing so much as Hawkwind circa 'Astounding Sounds, Amazing Music'.

Review: Dreems, co-founder of Multi Culti, teams up with Jacoby under the alias Angelo Cruzman to deliver a diverse and captivating musical experience. Their collaboration showcases a fusion of symphonic dream pop and ambient sounds, creating a seamless flow throughout the album. This release draws inspiration from a range of influences from Daft Punk, Brian Wilson, The Avalanches, Nile Rogers, and even the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

Review: Italian trance and slow acid on this new and typically wacky Multi Culti release from modular brothers A-Tweed & Oltrefuturo. Hot off releases for Whypeopledance, Sinchi Collective, Duro and Nein, the crazy pair present a mini LP of maximum strength. Get on your tunnel vision for the slo-mo chugger "Android Riot", go further down the vortex on the psychedelic locomotion of "Ushuaia Bottellon" before being taken to a higher state on the euphoric indie-dance of "Jaipuri Kundan Ring". Elsewhere, we never mind a good hit of acid do we? The 303 centred throb job "King Hippo" has you covered.

Review: Balam's previous releases have tended towards the exotic and hallucinatory, cannily combining dirty electronics and tech-tinged beats with dense South American and African percussion and semi-tropical instrumentation. It's a sound that makes the sometime Hard First artist a perfect fit for the similarly minded Multi-Culti label. There's plenty to savour on Balam's first outing from the imprint, from the extra-percussive, shoom-powered chug of 'Tribus' and dark bass-propelled bounce of 'Yaka Jaus', to the Golden Teacher-meets-Maukovich Dance Band headiness of 'Reinos De Tambor' and the gently EBM-influenced electronic psychedelia of 'Revuelta'. Turn on, tune in, drop out!

Review: For the second volume in the label's occasional Calypso Cult series, Multi Culti has snapped up two tracks apiece from "warriors of chug" (as they put it) Inigo Vontier and Thomass Jackson. Jackson steps up first, peppering a stretched out groove with trippy effects and hallucinatory electronics on the deliciously wonky 'Big Plastic Room', before opting for a bass-heavy, new beat-goes-to-the-moon vibe on the pleasingly out-there 'Slow Train'. Vontier instinctively pitches up the tempo and reaches for some ritualistic percussion sounds (think marimba melodies, oddball hand percussion and more) on the sparse psychedelic disco throb of 'Jungle Tungle', before reverting to 98 BPM on the psyobilin-doused weirdo dub of 'Hipocampos'. A brilliantly wayward EP all told.

Review: There's a time for accessible podium belters, and there's a time for deeper jams that aren't afraid to take a left turn now and again. This five-tracker is one to reach for when you're firmly into the latter zone, as Multi Culti serve up a collection of eyes-down, late-night cuts that mine various global musics for inspiration: Sheila Chandra has been a stalwart of the British Asian music scene for 40 years, Sababa 5's 'Nasnusa' is a take on a classic Mizrahi song, while the title of 'Amakondera' references a style of Rwandan music that uses horn- and gourd-based wind instruments. An EP that will delight those whose tastes lean towards the exotic and the less familiar.

Review: Releases on Canada's Multi Culti have come from artists as diverse as Zongamin, Red Axes and Jagwar Ma, but generally speaking electronic music from the more experimental/leftfield side is their stock-in-trade, and such is the case on this five-track V/A. Clear cosmic/Italo disco influences have landed the EP on this page but there are hints too of everything from dub (see Hermetics & Hannah Lee's 'Lux Naturae') to Indian/Middle Eastern music (check out Ponty Mython's hypnotic 'Pinto La Meah'), while special mention must be made of Magic Pirate's closer - we're just gonna go right ahead and love any track called 'Make Me A Jazz Coffee' on principle!

Review: A four-tracker here that will suit those whose dancefloor tastes lean towards the exotic and eclectic side. Red Axes' 'Maztomeret' tops a Moog-y cosmic disco groove with a nursery-like "la la la la la" chorus, Zillas On Acid comes on like 70s Indian sitar funk given a Solomun remix, Tyu flirts with African and Arabic flavours on 'Kongaloka' and then finally there's the oddity that is Manfredas's 'Meshugas', a quirky slice of Balearica with a hint of The Clangers about it. Peaktime tackle for big, glitzy clubs this most definitely is not, but leftfield spinners would do well to check it out.
