Review: As Peach Discs celebrates its 20th release, Saoirse graces the milestone with a five-track EP showcasing her signature tough yet sensual style. In the midst of lockdown, Saoirse crafted tracks like "Vampire Heart" and "Catfished" - each reflecting the emotional rollercoaster of the pandemic era. "Vampire Heart" then captures the hope of emerging from isolation before as the EP unveils sounds from the artist's 'tribal era' with tracks like "Mangomouse" and "Heated Cloud". Both delve into rhythmic depths, revealing Saoirse's natural affinity for percussion, downing her drumsticks for electronic beats.
Review: Following on from the first edition last year, Shanti Celeste and Gramrcy's label drops another killer compilation. Airbnd and Buen Clima both drop high-octane, percussive techno, while on "Parallel Sync", Gramrcy slows the tempo down for a murky, layered groove. An ominous sub-bass ripples its way through Happa's dubbed out "Not Right Now", while ISAbella's "Ces Dream" is a slower, introspective piece and Knopha's "Grove Emulator" revolves around a complex rhythm and layered organic drums. Even the fast-paced tracks on Peach Pals are imbued with a subtlety one would not normally find on club techno, with the offbeat groove and punchy drums of Peach's "Moonlight" impressing.
Review: Peach Discs label bosses, Shanti Celeste and Gramrcy, have announced the release of the Capichone EP, which marks its first release of the year. The four-track EP from Amsterdam-based producer and DJ Maurits Verwoerd aka Nachtbraker is a tribute to the mid-'90s Dutch and Italian house sound. The EP's melodic hooks are woven together with loose-limbed drum tracks and wiggly arrangements. Whether it's the moody rave antics of the title track, the boompty groove of "Inbellen" or the hypnotic electro-infused funk of "Treunq1", Verwoed brings his A game on this stellar EP.
