Over the last five years, Wil Bolton (aka Cheju) has easily emerged as one of the UK post-IDM / leftfield electronic scene’s most prolific operators, with an intimidating backcatalogue of physical and web releases that would put to shame many other artists who’ve been putting out ...

Mulatu Astatke is the father of Ethio Jazz, in this writers opinion one of the most amazing living composers. His vibraphone, conga and various other percussion playing was a real highlight throughout Ethiopiques series, his unique fusion of jazz, funk, latin and African rhythms nothing ...

You can speak of the 60’s or 70’s in hushed hallowed tones, but really the golden period is now. We’ve got so many labels exhaustively scouring various far flung African countries in an effort to find hidden Afro funk and jazz gems from yesteryear that they’re ...

A two minute blast of non-sequiter free drumming, guitar feedback and synthesised bleeps, like an orchestra tuning up before the symphony, and then we’re off. ‘Two Wires’ then does all the pulsing, droning and driving of classic Krautrock, and does it very well. Melodies ...

Although this is Robot Koch’s debut album, he is in no way new to production, with his club project Jahcoozi, his post rock outfit The Tape, and a stream of beat production for Infinite Lives, Rustie and Amanda Blank, so its fitting his debut is released on his own label.

There’s a valium calm to the music of Royalchord, a certain serene stillness that actually masks what you believe are the raw torrents of emotion that are lurking somewhere beneath the gorgeous stripped down melodies. There’s something really curious about the songwriting on The ...

The music sounds like an evil jaunty nursery rhyme, often traditional music from some far flung part of the world slapped with hip hop beats and slung underneath a dense torrent of consciousness expanding rhymes. This Melbourne five piece’s fourth long player is breathless upbeat and ...

Insurance agent by day, arch-modernist by night, Charles Ives’ idiosyncratic, cacophonous works are some of the most exciting and influential of the twentieth, and indeed late 19th, centuries. From songs to string quartets to large orchestral works, Ives’s music veers from the ...

This cannot be real. The mind boggles. Legendary Nigerian drummer Tony Allen, the co creator of Afro-beat (with the help of some bloke named Fela Kuti), teaming up with Jimi Tenor, the Finish experimental lounge dude who left Warp because they weren’t allowing him to experiment enough. ...
