Porter Ricks “Biokinetics” 2xLP

Type continues it’s reissue campaign of classic Thomas Köner titles, this time reaching back to his partnership with Andy Mellwig as Porter Ricks. This album sees the dub techno genre imbued with Köner’s sublime and frosty minimalism. New artwork, 700 copies, absolutely essential – they just don’t make sounds like this anymore. Pick a copy [...]

Darkside “Darkside EP” 10″

A new EP from Nicolas Jaar, now working alongside bassist Dave Harrington as Darkside. All the flourishes of Monsieur Jaar’s charming and restrained production are fully intact. This is just a ten-inch, but ten-inches from this man beats 12-inches from any other (no innuendo intended). Already sold out at boomkat.com but you can pick it up now [...]

Plug “Back on Time” 2xLP + 12″

If there’s one thing I like more than some Wagon Christ, it’s some Luke Vibert. And if there’s one thing I like more than Luke Vibert, it’s Plug. Drum ‘n’ Bass for Papa is an absolute classic in my book, I spent plenty of time and energy (and even a little money) tracking down a [...]

Nicolas Jaar “Don’t Break My Love” 10″

I can’t think of many better ways to start this day then by listening to the stream of this new two-track EP from brunch haus superstar Nicolas Jaar. If you are as instantly enamored as we were upon first listening (and why wouldn’t you be?), you’ll be glad to know that you can pick this [...]

Pinch & Shackleton 2xLP

Meanwhile, across the ocean, experimental bass music continues to bloom into strange, new percussive mutations. Pinch and Shackleton have dropped plenty of speaker rattling cuts on various 12″ platters, now they combine their tectonic force onto a killer 2xLP for Honest Jon’s. Peculiar dubs, my friends. Very peculiar. Pick up a copy at beta.forcedexposure.com.

Container “s/t” LP

The motorik pulse of the early electronic underground seems to be slowly creeping back onto the dirty floors and darkened rooms where it was born. Container sneaks straight banging techno back onto your turntable platter, right back where it belongs. These guys have a long ways to go to reach the levels of the old [...]

Panda Bear “Tomboy Expanded” 4xLP

Can’t get enough Tomboy? Lucky for you, Panda Bear’s sophomore fourth opus has been expanded into a massive 4xLP set, adding one new tune and letting the original album heave and breathe over 2 LPs; then bolstering that with another LP featuring the single mixes and yet another LP featuring a cappellas and instrumentals for [...]

Teebs “Collections 01″ LP

Here’s a beautiful new LP from Brainfeeder’s Teebs, following up on his stellar debut double-platter Ardour. Collections 01 is not a new album but rather “a side project or group of mine that just so happened to make the same exact music as I’m making now… Just mini collections of ideas”. Well, okay then. The long [...]

G.H. “Ground” 12″

One of the best labels putting out techno music right now, Modern Love, has a new 12″ from G.H. (aka Gary Howell aka 1/2 of Pendle Coven). The techno/dubstep market is so over-saturated at this point it takes a real corker to get us to do a writeup – this is definitely a 12″ worth [...]

Justice “Audio, Video, Disco” 2xLP + CD

I’m not even going to front like I have listened to this. I’m just going to spin my copy of the Daft Punk worshipping debut and pretend like it is 2007 and I have my whole life ahead of me. Pretend that my love of fun, party rocking music has not been crushed by 7 [...]
