The new Krush record is out, and there is not much to add except there’s no disappointment whatsoever. It is a perfect record with the beautiful moody triphop he can offer, and not one single track out of tune or style. I will see him play live just a week from now and I am quite excited about that, especially after this album. I sincerely hope that he brings along a bunch of vinyls so that I can have this little beauty shelved.
Gajek – Plaid & Alva Noto Remixes
After one debut album a single with Plaid and Alva Noto remixes. I am trying to say this sentence out loud so that I can get a grip on it. Wait, what?
The Prodigy – Roadblox (Paula Temple Remix)
This one is interesting because at last a new Prodigy remix, which does not exactly sound like the Prodigy track in the first place. This one is some dirty techno shit.
Kamixlo – Demonico EP
Shamanism meets rhythmic noise. Exciting, strange, makes me think.
IAMX – Metanoia
The new IAMX album is the most beautiful many shades of black. Unexpected, blows me away. Feels like ebony silk flowing through my brain, drops of dark ink running through my veins, escaping light at the crack of a door.
Kingbastard – XY34R5 “A Decade of Bastardism!”
Kingbastard celebrates his 10th birthday with this moniker by collecting all his previous releases in one big bundle. First thing to note here: this is a USB drive release, music actually placed on a flash drive, which is placed in a box-set kind of box. Sounds kinda funny but actually it looks surprisingly great. Then he created a compilation of the compilation by selecting 28 tracks, which is then released as a digital album with the same name. It is an awesome collection, quite a pleasure and broad spectrum of styles to dig through.
Booka Shade – Wildest Thing
Soft smooth electro, nice, calming, drives the mind.
Group Rhoda – Out Of Time Out Of Touch
All different kinds of waves from new wave to cold wave with a characteristic tone of post-industrial but with a hint of silliness at certain points.
The Future Sound Of London – Archived 8
Lost and found stuff from the FSoL drawers, low-to-mid tempo electronic explorations, nice bunch of tracks even if just scratches from the past.
