Brilliant debut album makes you shiver with fear
In oOoOO (pronounced ‘oh’), San Franciscan Chris Dexter joins ††† and!!! in selecting an artist alter ego that looks like it originated from accidentally leaning on a computer keyboard. But on listening to his debut album, that moniker begins to take on…

A track by track breakdown of the heavily hyped, mixed-bag of a disco-synth album

DJ and producer whose live sets make use his voice as singing and percussive instrument

Juan Atkins & Moritz Von Oswald - Borderland
15 May 2013
Engaging, if slightly underwhelming release from two of techno’s most iconic figures
It’s something of an event when two of techno’s most iconic figures, Juan Atkins and Moritz Von Oswald, join forces in the studio. Intriguingly, they’ve offered scant information regarding their motivations behind Borderland. Perhaps we shouldn’t be…

19 Apr 2013
Post-breakthrough return is brash, unapologetic, full of pomp and self-assured tunes
(Atlantic) Bankrupt! begins with the brilliant bravura of ‘Entertainment’, a blitzkrieg of uptempo synths and guitars. It’s the kind of epic, contemporary new wave swagger that goes down just swell when performed in front of huge summer festival crowds.

Politically-engaged DJ and producer set for gender-themed Arika event in Glasgow
There’s a story Terre Thaemlitz, aka DJ Sprinkles, tells in a footnote to a recent address she gave at Tate Modern. Now published on Thaemlitz’ website, it recalls her DJ-ing a deep house set at the closing party of a queer and transgender cultural…

16 Apr 2013
Glasgow's enigmatic, beepy, dark electro trio talk masks and Satan, among other things

16 Apr 2013
The LuckyMe-signed producer shows why US hip hop labels are after him

16 Apr 2013
A late album launch from the divine bedroom experimenters turned revered live act

James Blake - Overgrown
3 Apr 2013
Troubadour for the Burial generation revisits fey, enigmatic stylings on second album
James Blake provokes that kind of feverish excitement you’d mostly associate with the giddy hormonal urges of Beliebers, but instead he enchants the coolly-detached habitués of Boiler Room. It’s understandable. He is after all, an impossibly zeitgeisty…

A panoramic and emotionally driven electronica set from the ambient techno artist
