Sigha has been one of my most closely-watched producers of the past two years. I'm hard pressed to say why because he doesn't really have a distinctive sound. Since his debut on...
London DJ and producer James Shaw aka Sigha confidently returns to the label with his heavily-anticipated debut LP, Living With Ghosts. For this offering, he presents 12...
Sigha is a producer without a hook: both his story and his music are so familiar you'll long for a Twitter-sized morsel of discontent or a trendily vapid remix. First, the story...
Over the course of two years and 11 releases, James Shaw (a.k.a Sigha) has made a gradual shift away from the fractured, ambient garage of his earliest tunes to a wholehearted...
Over the course of the 12 years since his first release (a now highly sought-after split 12” on Perlon with Ricardo Villalobos and Dandy Jack), the artist known as Stephan Laubner...
The clear link between early electronic, post-punk, noise and the modern brand of industrial-strength techno has become clearer and clearer over the past few years, thanks in no...
An old man called Bob Dylan once said something useful like, "it may be the Devil, it may be the Lord, but sooner or later, you're going to have to serve somebody." And when you...

Textbook techno at its sweatiest, leavening stern warehouse stomp with foggy interludes and fleeting sunlight.
Mike Dehnert often specialises in the type of techno designed to stick sets together, the monochrome beats and loops that make the peaks seem higher in contrast, the big tunes...
There's something uncontrived about Petar Dundov's music. It goes from chord change to chord change while always sounding completely natural. Achieving this takes careful...
Morning. After so many rock albums featured on the blog this week – and likely a few more to come over the weekend – I felt it was necessary to get a good techno album into the...
Sendai is the collaboration between Belgian techno producer Peter Van Hoesen and sound designer Yves De Mey. The project first emerged in 2009 via Van Hoesen's Time To Express...
To call George FitzGerald anything but an expert when it comes to soulful, R&B-infused garage would certainly be a misstatement. But with the release of his fourth single this...
At this point, it's hard not to feel a little bad for Sigha (a.k.a. James Shaw). That sounds harsh, but it's a statement that has little do with the quality of the London-based...

Brock Van Wey, aka bvdub, is a hyper-prolific ambient producer-- six full-length releases this year alone-- with a sound reminiscent of Wolfgang Voigt's Gas. Here, his...
