Review: A most formidable duo, Danish legends of an non- existent underground arrive back in Rahbek's Posh Isolation label with a second collaboration LP following 2017's Buy Coral Online, which enjoyed a co-release with Austria's Edition Mego. Again the duo here push the realms of where colourful and deeply beautiful, melancholic music can take you landing in a zone somewhere that's as much ambient as it is sub pop and experimental, even industrial noise. Elephant this time arounds focuses on beatless themes and atmospheres more than their previous work, with a deep listen of acoustic bass, stretching synths and industrial atmospheres to pull at the most cinematic and of heart strings.
Review: VARG project continues to grow and expand the techno spectrum, coming through with the fifth and final chapter of the Nordic Flora series, out through his own Posh Isolation stable. The producer is no stranger to an album, with this one making it almost two dozen LPs to date and, as per usual, there are all sorts of syles and influences in here, ranging from the utterly vast and beatless, to more dance-minded structures that blend the boundaries between techno and drone. CRUSH is a melting pot of sounds, constantly shifting and pushing the boundaries of what we categorize as 'dance' music, and it seems like our good friend VARG has found the right formula to make this cocktail a lasting and memorable one. In fact, we'd be stuck to find any other album which manages to fade two opposite worlds together - the world of peace and the world of war. It's another killer Varg outing here. Recommended.
