The Cyclist feat OR:LA
Played by: Jayl Funk
Review: Since first bursting onto the scene back in 2011, The Cyclist (AKA Derry producer Andrew Morrison) has gone from making dusty, dystopian techno to delivering intriguing albums that defy easy categorization. He's at it again on Sapa Inca Delirium, his fourth full-length in total and first since 2014. Beginning with the dark, feverish ambience of "Go Back" and spiraling, acid-fired, tribal-tinged throb of "Inhale/Exhale", Morrison saunters between impressively atmospheric cuts that variously touch on drowsy early Krautrock ("Inti"), braindance style insanity ("Forest Surge"), Balearic broken beat ("Skateboarding in the Jungle", "When We All Break Down"), lo-fi soundscape jazz-house ("Sapa Inca Delirium") and drowsy downtempo beats ("Antiexist"). It's a gently trippy and imaginative fusion of sounds and styles that's not only expertly executed, but also extremely impressive.

Review: Irish tape throb enthusiast The Cyclist adds Bristol house bastions Hypercolour to his discography with this fine four-track 12", Pressing Matters, which features a remix from Pampa and Kompakt legend Robag Wruhme! The title track is a fine example of The Cyclist's warped charm, conjuring bendy bass lines, faltering breakbeats and wavy synth lines over seven delightfully heat-treated minutes. The Robag Wruhme is just as epic, sounding like a lost breakbeat artefact dug up for gleeful 21st century consumption. "Born In '92" adds plenty of pirate radio chatter into it's deep and spectral house bump, whilst Tanaya Harper's vocals lend a palpable edge to the brittle garage swing of closer "Push."
Flowers And Sea Creatures - "The Very Next Day" (feat Wrong Jeremy - Adriatique remix) - (9:08) 123 BPM
Review: Fresh from the release of a killer cassette on 100% Silk, The Cyclist (AKA sometime Hypercolour and All City Records producer Andrew Morrison) returns to the same label with a tasty new four track EP. Check first the impeccably spacey, Motor City techno/intergalactic deep house fusion of "Aladdin Insane", before turning your attention to the wild, sweaty and decidedly hallucinatory acid house fuzz of EP standout "Ivory". Elsewhere, the analogue equipment enthusiast dishes up some sunshine-friendly positivity in the shape of bustling workout "Audiochrome" and adds a little jazz swing to the life-affirming Italian dream house blueprint on sublime opener "Alabaster Thrones". In a word: superb.

Review: As The Cyclist, Derry-based musician Andrew Morrison first surfaced back in 2011 with a cassette on Crash Symbols but came to wider attention with last year's excellent Bones In Motion LP for Leaving Records. The fifteen tracks spilled with tape saturated magnificence from every angle, and since then Morrison has diverted some of his creative energies into the more dance floor-focused Buz Ludzha. That project debuted on All City earlier this year with a 12" of "distorted '80s house" called Love Repetitive Rhythmics, and it's the Dublin label that now issues his latest LP as The Cyclist. If anything Flourish is a more focused set than his debut, building on his established style but veering down exciting new sonic avenues and in "Tape Grunge Rave" possesses one of this year's best track titles.

Review: Not to be confused with the Irish hardware mangler The Cyclist, Toronto producer Mark Penner continues his mutant disco adventures as Cyclist with a fine release for the emergent Mani/Pedi label. Lead track "Incoming Instructions" is the most derange five minutes of disco we have heard this week with echoes of vintage In Flagranti throughout and a killer shift in tone midway through. Following this, "Meta" feels like Penner is playing it a bit straighter down the path to cosmic jam enlightenment and the B side houses remixes from Brioski and Alexander Robotnick. Of the two it's Brioski that really impresses with a narcotic rework that feels like it's been chewing on sugar cane for days.

Review: A confirmed presence within the landscape of UK dance music for the best part of 15 years, Hypercolour has cultivated its own constellation of artists while becoming a port of call for those hitting their peak within pseudo-mainstream house music. It's Patterns compilation series has always offered rare cuts and remixes from its roster of artists and from the get go here a lesser known Zodiac impresses out of the blocks with a banging dub techno joint "GhostNet". Sebastian Mullaert & Boelja go hardcore Swedish bleeptronic in "Who Are You Really?" with FRAK also included with an old school and lo-fi 909 workout "Berga Magic". Roman Flugel hits a sweetspot as usual next to some lowly jackin tracks by London Modular Alliance, a vocal breakbeat number of classical drum and bass refrain by Mathew Herbert to some tongue cheek rave by Luke Vibert and much much more! Approved.

Neighbour feat Piper Davis
Review: The latest release from Home Breakin' is from their very own uber-prolific Neighbour. As can be expected, "Light Breaker" is another slice of high quality synthpop - all dreamy, yearning vocals, chugging rhythms and hazy synth melodies. There's a whole range of top notch mixes too with Cyclist's raucous disco-rock version and Tad Wily's shimmering hiNRG rework, and watch out for 6th Borough Project's 'A' mix which distils everything down to a sleazy minimal tropical grind.
Review: The increasingly prolific Mullet Records artist Tad Wily has now hooked up with Homebreakin' for two versions of "After Dark". The original sees him retain some elements of the early '80s hip-hop production present on his previous releases, but this time the claps and '80s drum machines are married to a laid-back contemporary nu-disco groove and the seductive vocals of Orla Hawk. His New Bass version is sleazier with a slinky late night bassline and moody vocals. The Lonely Boy mix is an effervescent cascade of pixelated rain a la Dusty Kid and Cyclist goes for a raw, punk-funky grind.
