Album Review: Architect – Consume Adapt Create

Consume Adapt Create has been Daniel Myer’s largest and most successful departure from industrial and EBM since Haujobb’s 1999 album, Ninetynine. This latest release from Myer’s Architect project is a contemporary fusion of dark breaks, drum & bass, hardcore and dubstep. While Myer should be praised for masking any influences in previous work—including prior Architect [...]

Review: Pierce Warnecke – The Electronic Heart

The Electronic Heart is the latest EP from producer/video artist Pierce Warnecke. It’s a 6-track electro-glitch feast for the senses. As the title suggests, there’s a good balance between organic and synthetic properties here. The music is almost entirely made from distorted synth sounds but the arrangements are incredibly sophisticated and human. The EP starts [...]

Review: Four Tet – Love Cry

This has been an interesting year for London based producer, Four Tet. He’s had an obsession with remixing Madlib tracks and collaborated on an acclaimed release with influential dubstep producer, Burial. Now at the culmination of this year, a new track, “Love Cry”, has been released. It’s a preview of the new Four Tet album [...]

Round Table Knights: Belly Dance Around The Real Issue

Hark thee! Who goes there?! Why it be Round Table Knights! There is no denying the capability and skill of Questionmark and Biru Bee, sworn together as Round Table Knights. It’s not just a play upon words mates and maidens, this Swiss duo is equipped with an impenetrable armor of technical finesse and steely remix [...]

Kryptic Minds – Life Continuum 12″

This is a massive 12″ follow-up to One of Us, Kryptic Minds’ latest LP. The title track, “Life Continuum” is an atmospheric dark-step track with big bass and a heavy beat, something of which I missed on the LP. The flip side, “Wondering Why” is an extremely warm tune with plenty of depth, ricocheting beats [...]

Album Review: Kryptic Minds – One of Us

Kryptic Minds, a production duo hailing from London, have contributed to the deep drum & bass scene since 2005, but It’s no surprise that they’ve slowed things down for their latest LP. One of Us is a welcome departure from the heavy hitting antics of songs like “More Like You” and “Blue Print,” in which [...]

Album Review: Beak> – Self Titled

Whatever floats your boat, this may not be it. Really, a large part of me is surprised that this particular boat belongs in part to Portishead’s Geoff Barrow at all. If there’s one phrase I definitely don’t recall popping into my head while listening to Dummy it was “krautrock noodling.” But there’s been a lot [...]

King Cannibal – Let The Night Roar

Try and Imagine pure evil as a living force that feeds on life, death, murder and pain. This evil infiltrates a city, tainting the air, water and streets. As its power grows, so does fear, corruption, agony and hysteria. For all those unfortunate enough to live here, death is imminent. Let the Night Roar is [...]

Basement Jaxx: No fresh Cuts, Just The Same Ol’ Scars

Scars, the fourth full length album by vintage UK house music duo Felix Burton and Simon Ratcliffe, leads the listener down a familiar and sporadic trail of buoyant breadcrumbs towards destination unknown. Scars‘ journey starts remarkedly fresh, with an ethereal and operatic promise of modern twists upon their trademark upbeat sound. Sadly, it quickly veers [...]
