Review: The Sprechen label's inaugural album release takes listeners on a captivating journey through the celestial realms of electronica and the vibrant, neon-lit streets of South Manchester. "Where Do I Belong?" marks the debut long player by The Thief Of Time, a new studio endeavour from Sprechen founder Chris Massey. Drawing inspiration from a life steeped in clubs, comic books, cult movies, and cosmic adventures, the album weaves a semi-autobiographical narrative through a tapestry of electronic artists and synth-heavy movie scores. Chris Massey's approach to the project is refreshingly unbound, allowing loose ideas to evolve into a collection of songs that pays homage to diverse sonic influences, featuring contributions from Manchester artists like A Certain Ratio, Bay Bryan, Psychederek and NIIX to Love Letters From Space and Allison Rae from Causeway.

Review: A third outing here for Sprechen main man Chris Massey's The Thief Of Time project, which sees him exploring more downtempo and filmic musical pastures. As with previous releases 'Imposter Syndrome' and 'Pavement Soul' there's a guest vocalist on mic duties: in this case it's Allison Rae from Idaho dreamwave duo Causeway, so it's perhaps not surprising that 'Find Each Other' draws heavily on the more contemplative side of 80s synth-pop for inspiration. There's an accompanying Instrumental that might find its way into a wider range of leftfield/downtempo/Balearic sets, while a Radio Edit completes the package.

Review: French born, Manchester-based DJ and producer Lena C. loves digging and sharing sounds from all around the world on her Reform Radio show. Her latest release comes courtesy of local imprint Sprechen titled Promenade. "Shokran" is a blissed-out balearic instrumental that's perfect for road trips or watching sunsets alike, while the hypnotic yet subtle polyrhythms on the downbeat affair "Breeze" provide an equally impressive backdrop for summertime chilling, and finally the slo-mo deep chug disco of "Azur" closes it out in style.

Review: Following on from May's 'Deep Space Radio Flash' EP, London lad Delahay returns to Stretford-based Sprechen with a two-track, four-mix homage to the sounds of Italo and cosmic disco. 'Good Gone Bad' is your archetypal synth-y Italo throbber. 'Sacred Life' is a more contemplative, cosmically inspired piece, while the remix from Elliott Lion puts a light Balearic twist on proceedings. If your disco tastes tend towards the leftfield end of the spectrum, this is one to check for sure.

Review: Releasing mainly through his own Oddball Records imprint, Liverpool producer Dan Wainwright's stock-in-trade are meandering, hypnotic excursions that meld together influences from disco, Balearica and global music. He serves up more of the same on this four-tracker for Paper-affiliated Sprechen, with 'I Love You' having a singer-songwriter-ish feel, 'Nothing...' coming on like an early 90s The Beloved out-take, 'Feel' taking something of a Balearic kitchen sink approach and the almost folk-y 'I Hope That Joy Will Come To You' closing the EP on a more chilled-out note. Saturday night peaktime stompers these are not, but if you dig all things downtempo and leftfield then dive right on in...

Review: Hailing from Leeds, the Night Giants are by their own admission a melting pot of The Chemical Brothers, Underworld, Bonobo and Caribou - and they bring all the aforementioned influences to their incredible live sets. They return to Manchester's Sprechen label with their new Selector EP featuring the chugging and hypnotic energy of the title track (which receives an awesome liquid drum 'n' bass remix by Eskimoh), the blissed-out sunset breaks of "Tremble" and the funky party starter "Twist & Drop" which also receives a low slung nu-disco remix by Paper Street Soul (Ever After / Redlight). More great stuff from Chris Massey's label.

Review: Muddy Feet is the relatively new DJ and production alias of Kirby, a Manchester scene veteran who has been playing in the city's clubs and bars for years. Harmonising marks her first production outing on local label Sprechen. Our pick of a very strong bunch is 'Nothing I Need', where a hazy vocal snippets and what sound like Madchester-era guitar sounds rise above a chunky, Italo-influenced nu-disco groove. Sprechen main man Chris Massey provides the accompanying remix, brilliantly re-imagining the cut as a sparklingl acid-fired chunk of colourful Balearic electro bliss. The EP also boasts two other strong cuts: the off-kilter, broken beat-meets-nu-disco sparkle of 'Take Flight' and the surging, life-affirming cheeriness of 'Learning', whose freestyle-influenced synth sounds are undeniably joyous.

Review: UK house veteran and former Hacienda resident Jon Da Silva's production CV is a lot shorter than you might expect! Here, though, he comes to Chris Massey's Manchester-based Sprechen with four solid jams that blend house, disco and electro influences. Opener 'Mutebird' is the missing link between Balearica and Detroit techno, 'Dub Is All We Need' looks to the classic sound of mid-80s Chicago for inspiration, 'Mancunian Way' is a floor-friendly deep houser with bright chords/stabs and buzzy, rave-y bass, and finally 'Drones In The Key Of Chi' is an instrumental nu-disco workout, with subtle production nods to the likes of Moroder and Robotnick.
