Review: It's been a long time between drinks for Darrell "Bola" Fitton, a long serving IDM explorer who released five fabulous albums on Skam between 1998 and 2007. D E G, his first album in a decade, is a predictably beguiling and atmospheric affair. Beginning with the sumptuously spacey ambient sweep of "Fhorth", Fitton delivers a master class in hard-to-pigeonhole electronica. While some tracks are reminiscent of some of Autechre's more melodious moments (see "Herzzatzz" and the acid-flecked "Pelomen Vapour 2"), others draw influence from Rephlex style braindance (see the sharp synth riffs and bustling beats of "Landor 50X2"), spaced-out post-dubstep electronic folk ("Evensong") and ghostly, post-apocalyptic ambience ("Pelomen Vapour 3"). Throughout, it remains a hugely entertaining affair.

Review: It has been rumoured that Slashing Cousin is a pseudonym for Irish producer Anodyne. Certainly, there are moments on Fallen Gods where this seems plausible. For starters, there's the glitchy "Midnight Resistance", the droning bass tones of "1404" and the more sinister "In An Analog Mood", which plunges the project into a hitherto unforeseen blanket of mangled, glitchy darkness. Counter-acting these elements are some genuine moments of cinematic beauty, like the sub-aquatic ambi-ence on "Welcome Home", the early Black Dog electronics of "Brotherhood" and the icy synths of "Ascend". Slashing Cousin is clearly an act that walks a fine line between musicality and the brutal slash of idm rhythms.

Review: Ever since the label's formation in 1991, Skam has strived to support innovative artists based around its home in NW England. VHS Head - AKA Ade Blacow - fits into this category rather well; not only does he hail from Blackpool, but he also sources the majority of his sounds from old VHS tapes. This second album follows some four years after the VHS Head debut set Trademark Ribbons of Gold arrived and is a thoroughly enjoyable listen, delivering a quirky but attractive blend of cut-up electronic funk, bespoke IDM rhythms, vintage synth melodies and wayward electronics. If Dam Funk, Funkineven, Autechre and Boards of Canada got down in the studio together, it would probably sound like this.
