Review: Making his second appearance on Throne Of Blood after last year's Inside Job, veteran producer Brendan Moeller returns as Beat Pharmacy for Tricks of the Trade. "Sometimes I'm Happy" is a laid back trip through trilling sounds, dubby piano chords and thick bass, while "Jive At Five" takes things up a notch with its twitchy synths and skipping beats. Analogues Anonymous takes things on more of a late night classic NYC deep house tip albeit with a considerable dose of dark atmospherics, while the largely beatless "Holy Stain" lightens the mood with its drifting chords and analogue chirps. Digital bonus "Magic & Luck" is probably the most floor-focused thing here, a stripped back tool filled with abstract tones and percolating textures.

Review: Chloe is one of Europe's finest female house/techno DJs, and this has been the case for the past ten years. Sadly, she does not get as much recognition as some of her peers. Maybe this is because she prefers to focus on making and playing great underground dance music, but whatever the explanation, her talents shine through on Smash. The title track is a murky affair, drones and dubbed out sirens rising through the rickety rhythm, while "Time Right" shows a lighter side to Chloe. Over a rolling bassline, a breathy vocal is interspersed with cut-up tones to create an insistent but playful sound. Phil Kieran's take on "Smash" leads it to a darker place, while My Favourite Robot's version is all bouncing basslines and trippy pulses.

Review: Despite the morbidity of it's name, Vosper & Bozzwell's "Music For The Lost And Dead" is a stepped-down, ice-cool electro/techno power ballad, complete with faltering vocals and even a tinge of disco rattling through the intro. Eskimo Twins enjoy their acid youth with viscous synths tipping the track into harder, darker territories where Jonny Cruz decides what's needed is low down dirty dubs and the type of club jangle you only get from hard liquor. Bringing the feel back to electro basics, Matt Walsh echoes 2006 in his hypnotic rendition and finally Fingerprince adds a depth and melancholy that only he could. An intriguing release from Throne Of Blood, definitely worth a look-in.

Review: LA electro-funk duo Split Secs let loose with two new original compositions. As with their previous works, there's a gossamer shine and breezy feel to both cuts. "The Joint" is reminiscent of In Flagranti or The Revenge with more emphasis on the shiny top-end while "Funkin Power" has more of a powerful jack factor with plenty of acid. For added darkness check out Maxime's bulbous remix of "Funkin Power".

Review: Roe Deers' relatively sparse discography to date is quietly impressive, with the pair flitting between mind-altering slow house, psychedelic electronic chuggers, and feverish fare rich in dense, tribal-influenced drums. The three original cuts showcased on the Lithuanian act's first Throne of Blood outing are similarly eccentric. Check first the weirdo guitars, dub disco bass, jumpy electronics and organic house drums of 'Lost Again', before examining the dark and driving creepiness of trippy throb-job 'Young Cats' and the filthy, arpeggio-driven intensity of brain-melting highlight 'Machine'. Remixes are provided of all three cuts, with Jonathan Kusuma's proto-house-goes-dark-disco rub of 'Machine', and Club Tularosa's Acid Arab-esque tweak of 'Young Cats' standing out.

Review: With the Rapture on hiatus, drummer Vito Roccoforte and multi-instrumentalist Gabriel "Druzzi" Andruzzi have decided to strike out on their own. Here, they launch their Vito & Druzzi career with an EP of intense, woozy dark-house for the always intriguing Throne of Blood imprint. "Moon Temple" spits and drones from the speakers, layering Leftfield-ish electronics on top of a thunderous 4/4 groove. There's a little more bounce to the similarly bass-heavy but more obviously garage-influenced Curses Sewer dub (think Armand Van Helden's 'Dark Garage' mix of the Sneaker Pimps, and you're close), while "King of the Jungle" fuses wonky organs and horror-influenced textures with Chicago house drums. PBR Streetgang remix the latter track, turning it into a dark-but-fluid chunk of peak time house.

Review: NYC label Throne Of Blood pay tribute to Monty Luke's Black Catalogue by inviting the chieftain himself and label-mates the Carter Bros to curate the A-side of their latest release, Throne Of Black Catalogue. The Carters provide a tunnelling, and at times progressive "Jamaica Burning" (version 2)", while Luke supplies a fuzzy-keyed, snare popping burner with "Behaviour Detection" - a track which sounds like a well behaved Kyle Hall. Horn Wax's Pixelife then delivers two tracks, with "5 Month Survey" fit for any jacking Ibiza dancefloor; "The Doctor Is Out" stays in the jacking zone too - with its marching snares, there's an added triumphant italo aspect.

Review: After five years of party tomfoolery on Fool's Gold, Toronto duo JOTS level up with long awaited debut album, and it's a bit special. A joint release between New Kanada and Throne Of Blood, this expansive set shows the duo at their deepest, silkiest and most daring as we leap from vibe to vibe with emotive and perfectly executed consistency. The dreamy progressive pumps and euphoric charms of "Channels For Success", the innocent '80s synths of "This Is Newbeat", the mischievous uptempo video game drama of "Hunk Of Punk"... JOTS have gone in deep and invested technically, emotionally and creatively on this debut album. This isn't the end, it's the beginning of a whole new chapter. Stunning.

Review: Newcomers Pleasure Planet are an interesting proposition. Made up of Populette's Andrew Potter and muso pal Brian Hersey, they jam live with guitars, bass, synth and analogue electronics, then piece together the resultant grooves. It's a way of working that's certainly paid dividends on this debut EP for Throne of Blood, which boasts a trio of spacious, leftfield house cuts. "Animals", featuring typically stylish vocals from former Hercules & Love Affair member Kim-Ann Foxman, is arguably the highlight, thanks mainly to its early New Order-meets-deep house vibe. That said, the dreamy, low-slung and hazily atmospheric bonus cuts "AM ATM" and "Black Shades for White Nights" are also pretty tasty.

Review: Sean Johnston's Hardway Bros aligns on the Throne Of Blood label with some rare original produce in the shape of A/B Musique, a killer single brandishing some assistance from fellow Axis members Scott Fraser and Timothy J Fairplay. Eschewing the Balearic nature of previous Hardway Bros material, the title track is geared as homage to Belgian New Beat and hits the spot as soon as those hollow drums kick into gear. The aforementioned Mr Fairplay provides some punk funk swagger via intermittent guitar riffage and the vibe throughout is geared towards interplanetary love parties. On the virtual flip, "Shorty" feels a bit darker, with tough multi layered drum breaks and fuzzy edged arpeggiated bass lines gradually teasing out a seemingly never ending fluctuating precession of delay laden acid lines and swirling hypnotic vocal smudges. Scott Fraser turns in a murky basement remix of "Shorty" which is tinged with a machine made melancholia that tastes decidedly Detroitian.

Review: The not so mysterious Bohemian Groove debut fully on Throne Of Blood after hinting at their taste for psychedelic disco with a DJ Druzz vs. Omega Mus remix for the NYC imprint last year. On their original track "High Jinks" and its moodier counterpart "Low Jinks", broad brushstrokes of synth are the order of the day, letting the percussion shake seductively in the background while the melody intones an emotionally rich message of soul-replenishing dance music. Versatile Records main man Gilb'r brings a more dramatic, 70s library music vibe to bear on his "Hunting" remix of "High Jinks", while Portugese duo Photonz' delve into a nagging broken beat techno roller of magnificent proportions.
