A ridiculous release. Not a clue who or what Watkins & Almadovar are but their sound is heavy. Check this if you like Container.

This is a happy little tune. Could easily have become something that sounded too polished, but it's perfectly executed.

I do not know if I can find the time any more. 



Paul Mitchell - Exped Two (buy)



Tabernacle Records is probably the most consistently surprising, inventive and above all impressive labels around. This is a leftfield masterpiece by Paul Mitchell.




Streetwalker - The Nymph (buy)


Streetwalker - Untitled (buy)


Streetwalker's Future Fusion holds up incredibly well as an LP, too easily the length and quantity of tracks could spoil the enjoyment but this just flows amazingly well, you will not get tired of this LP easily at all. Expect a lot of quirky analog sounds. RIYL FRAK.

OWL001. Delicious vocal samples and deep house groove. Mysterious.

Loopy Dutch greatness ;)

Wonderful new tracks out of Germany and the Themes For Great Cities camp. Label boss Jan Schulte assumes his Bufiman tag for a stunning release on Verein Freier Menschen und Musik alongside Tim Schumacher with some percussive and rather quirky brilliance. Schulte then heads further into obscurity for a 10" on Edits Des Amateurs, taking a trio of funk and tribal tracks to task with heartwarming results. Enjoy these tasters of what an intriguing Dusseldorf scene currently has to offer!

aDepth Audio has just released a brilliant album by Crystal Maze entitled Enter The Maze, officially the first album i've listened to in it's entirety this year. Some really brilliant composition by Gstring and Ma Spaventi.

A selection of old and new. Coppice Halifax creates some stunning work aided by only a Sega Dreamcast. Baby Ford and co with a minimal delight from 1998 as Birds. New heat on L.I.E.S. by Samo DJ and a track from last years other label of choice by many, PAN. Tommy Vicari Jnr. with some forward thinking dance music as ever. A 15-minute epic by the Acid Mercenaries (guess their genre). An absolute beauty from Gys' 2003 album Art D'echo. Re-issued cold-wave by Shoc Corridor, there's some cracking remixes on that. And to finish, some lush tech house by Avatism from a few years back.
