With an album as hyped as this, Daft Punk's first LP in eight years if you discount the Tron: Legacy score, it's probably worthwhile actually addressing the instantly tossed off...
Random Access Memories, Daft Punk’s first non-soundtrack album in eight years, might be the biggest release of 2013 (not counting what Kanye might have in store). It’s also a...
The French duo have not only made a career-defining album, but the smartest dance album since disco. - a perfectly imperfect vision of humanity as seen through the eyes of two...
Hey. The new Daft Punk album is finally available all over Europe (and in the US) which means that I can write about it. Genre: electronic. Read some very positive reviews and...
I missed Random Access Memories landing on iTunes by about 12 hours. I was on my way home from work when the stream went live, and when I walked in the door I immediately set to...

Eric Estornel's DJ-Kicks is branded as a Maceo Plex effort, but its darkness will surprise those who know only his most successful pseudonym. For those familiar with his work as...
From an extreme distance, it can be easy to assume that there's a hard line dividing the dancefloors of Berghain and Panorama Bar. It's as simple as techno in one room and house...
It may have taken Oliver Deutschmann a while to get around to his debut album, but the German DJ and producer hasn't been wanting for things to do. His outings over the years...
Brandt Brauer Frick have made a name for themselves producing techno without the technology using classical instruments in preference to synthesizers and computers. On the Berlin...
Hey. Most recent notable albums are currently missing in one or two European countries, which is rather annoying. Here is a cool electronic album from last month. Enjoy Brandt...
On their previous albums, even at their best, Brandt Brauer Frick have tended to sound a little dry. Their ten-strong classical ensemble brought a rippling energy to the likes of...
Kingdoms, Fort Romeau's sterling debut, was a surprising turn for the typically rough-and-ready (perhaps amateurish, on occasion) 100% Silk. On that mini-LP, Mike Norris, a...
The Present Tense is the inaugural release from Houndstooth, the new label offshoot of London club Fabric which features Rob Booth—the man behind the consistently on-point...
It took Australian electro outfit Gold Fields two years and three tries to get their debut album right. Listening to the results, you can understand why they scrapped some big...

Renaissance Man's name may sound a bit presumptuous, but there's a bit of truth behind the moniker. As part of the newly reinvented and techno-focused Turbo Recordings roster, the...
Matthew Herbert likes processes, rules, and parameters. He has a manifesto for how he records music-- no sampling other artists, no drum machines, no synths. It sounds mighty...

Gavin Russom, the longtime DFA signee, known to his cohorts as "the wizard" due to his penchant for handcrafting analog instruments, did two years at Bard College studying music...
Gerry Read is just 20 years old. But it would be wrong to call him "precocious" or an "upstart"; for the most part, the British producer stays quiet and releases tracks. His...
Good evening. Are you in the mood for some intense house music? If yes, please check out this fairly recently added album by Gerry Read and enjoy! Gerry Read – Jummy Filed under...
Since his emergence last year, Gerry Read has consistently lurked on the fringes of house music acceptability. His trademark production style is poised between reverence to house...

"Birdfeathers," the opening track to No Regular Play's debut album, encapsulates why the duo are one of Wolf + Lamb's most tantalising prospects. Like their early EP tracks, it...

A little gem of chilled-out disco inspired electronica. Released on RAMP Recordings
Fans of Dan Snaith's Caribou project are not automatically going to be fans of Daphni, the man's less-established handle under which he's applied his talents to more eccentric...
If you listen to enough dance music, you'll come to treasure concrete ideas. You know them when you hear them, because dance music at its most rote and workaday is often more...
Jiaolong (pronounced JOW-long), an album of shape-shifting work, marks the first full length by Dan Snaith-as-Daphni. Throughout his six-month global Radiohead support tour, Dan...
Hi. After some sunny days, the dark and gloomy weather is back. Anyhow, here is the new album by Daphni. Genre: electronic. Read this review and enjoy! Note: US release date is on...
Though he began his career producing pastoral percussive assaults and kraut-leaning jams as Manitoba/Caribou, by the time of his 2010 album, Swim, it was obvious that Dan Snaith...
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...
Early releases from Premiesku, the Romanian trio of Livio & Roby plus childhood friend George G., were chugging exercises in exquisite detail, disparate elements coerced into...
