Review: Predictably, Parisian eccentric Joakim is on fine form on this fifth album, his first since 2011's stylised Nothing Gold. As you'd perhaps expect, Tropics of Love isn't easy to pin down. Joakim's usual influences - acid house, synth-pop, glitch-hop, new wave and classic electronica - are all present, this time joined by an orange-hued Balearic sensibility that courses through album highlights "Man on the Moon" and Neil Young cover "On The Beach". Of course, it's not all wide-eyed bagginess with one eye on the horizontal, post-club market; as you'd expect, the album's more upbeat moments - particularly the brilliant "This Is My Life", in which a computerised voice recounts key moments in the producer's music development - all hit home hard.

Review: Cover versions can be notoriously tricky to get right. Getting the perfect balance between paying tribute to the original and giving it your own twist is notoriously hard. Happily, Joakim has more than managed it with this superb cover of Neil Young's atmospheric 1974 song "On The Beach". While Joakim's version is tactile, dreamy, electronic and, dare we say it, Balearic (check the lilting pedal steel and snaking sax lines), the French producer has managed to retain the melancholy and heartaching pain of Young's original. The remixes are uniformly impressive, too, with Balearic specialists CFCF delivering a typically baggy and sun-soaked take and Principles of Geomotry taking the track deep into glitchy experimental territory.

Review: German producer Matthias Zimmerman is obviously a man of many talents. This EP for Tigersushi wanders off in numerous directions, delivering fine fare throughout. Taking vintage synth sounds and spacey atmospherics as his theme, Zimmerman tries his hand at spiralling, John Carpenter-influenced soundtrack synth moods (the bubbling "Xoxi"), Kraftwerk and Orbital inspired melodic nu-disco ("Joseph") and gritty, low-end dubstep disco ("Yaver"). Best of all, though, is "Martin", a tough tropical-meets-nu-disco workout that boasts delightful cascading melodies and Julio Bashmore-ish R&B vocal cut-ups. When the breakdown finishes and the piano-heavy drop kicks in, you'll be impressed.

Review: Veteran of the fist-pumping kind of electro inhabited by Miss Kittin and I-F, it's not so often you see a new release from The Hacker these days. Still, he's made it back to deliver three Italo-flavoured nuggets on Tigersushi in the style of romantic 80s arpeggios and fat synths he made his name on. "Through The Ether" is unashamedly cosmic in its tone, boasting elegiac reams of melody over those steadily pulsing bass notes. A rasping snare gives "Mind Games" a marginally tougher edge, but really this is sweet songwriting for swooning swingers on the dancefloor.

Review: Over the past decade, French label Tigersushi has crafted a niche as purveyors of devilishly decadent electronic music, much of it cutting edge. This neat round-up of 2011 releases shows that they've lost none of their edge, offering up a collection that veers from dewy-eyed Balearica (from label boss Joakim) to droning new wave pop (DyE's "Fantasy"). There's plenty of fine dancefloor tackle on show, too, from the wide-eyed deep electro-disco of Crack Boy's "House Of Ill Pain" and white knuckle Italo of Krikor's House of Geomotry re-edit, to the bubbling vintage synth wizardy of "Oscillate", a storming collaboration between Deadstock 33s and fast-rising Brit Stopmakingme.

Review: Parisian eccentric Joakim has always been the sort of producer who is impossible to second-guess. Capable of delivering everything from French disco-punk noise to languid Balearic goodness, his discography is both thrillingly varied and curiously unfathomable to beginners. On this latest single for longtime home Tigersushi, he delivers a delicious, dewy-eyed blast of Balearic pop goodness that somehow manages to successfully fuse elements of Afro-house, Reichian marimba melodies, synth-pop sassiness and Beach Boys-ish vocal harmonies. If that's not enough to get the juices flowing, check the superb remixes from John Talabot (eyes-wide-shut electronic bliss), Soul Clap (touchy-feely E-house) and Das Glow (dark and disturbed Afro-tech). His best for some time - and that's saying something.
