Review: The fast-rising hard techno DJ/producer Anetha drops Mothearth, her debut album. As anyone who has heard her play out will confirm, tracks like "Terraphoria" and "Hit No Parade" capture her ability to deliver killer club grooves, with her own unique twist. She is also adept at delivering deeper cuts - as the atmospheric trance dance of "Beauty of Nothing" attests. Anetha's sense of playfulness bubbles to the surface on "Sorry for Being So Sexy", where angelic vocals are fused with hardcore stabs. Remaining on the subject of rave music, Anetha makes the sound her own on the title track, where she combines pensive vocals with spellbinding melodies to forge a unique new sound.
Review: Every time you see a release that's forthcoming under the moniker of The North Quarter, you know it's going to be very, very good. Label honcho Lenzman doesn't take prisoners with his A&R skills and he definitely doesn't do so when it comes to FD's debut album, not that FD needs much oversight in order to be an outstanding producer. Better Days is thus unsurprisingly amazing. 16 songs in length, including preludes, FD takes you on a journey through hip-hop influences, jungle vibrancy and full-on D&B that'll leave you quivering with excitement. 'Better Man' featuring Fox is arguably the stand-out, with serene jazz elements blending into Fox-led funk and bouncing bass stabs. Unreal.
