Eeeeeesh, Shinichi Atobe’s sixth album for DDS, another deployment of effortless and entirely inimitable club classics that connect the dots between effervescent dub house, deep techno and swirling beatdown, selected and compiled from a package of new productions sent from Japan with nothing but cryptic track titles for guidance.
Love of Plastic - we talking aesthetic here pal? bit like comme de garçons' genius, subversive amplification of synthetics in perfume? Something like Mark Fell’s assertion that “House music is best when it does not aim to copy ‘real’ music”? Impossible to tell - and honestly part of the thrill is in not really fully grasping Atobe’s praxis. What we can say is that with every album there’s a shift - sometimes barely perceptible - in spirit and focus. On this one everything’s gone a bit heavier - bit deeper - once again refracted through Rashad Becker’s mastering prism. You really could be listening to music recorded decades, years or a few weeks ago - we’ll probably never know. But with the simplicity comes a kind of impenetrable code too. That fleeting diva vocal sample 4 minutes into 'Love of plastic 6’ - what’s it doing there? why does it work so well?
Perhaps the reason Shinichi’s music resonates with so many is the impregnable sense of optimism buried in his DNA - there’s a breeze of warm air that takes over whenever his music is played, a promise of better days, blue skies, tingling skin, sultry evenings - all that hammy stuff. But also, entirely undeniable. Play this one and tell us you don’t feel it?
Spring’s almost in the air.

With her first solo record since 2017's 'Weightless', it's a pleasure to share JASSS' 'Whities 027' with you, a two track 12" out on March 20th 2020.
An unapologetic ode to rave, the record was influenced by her initial experiences of dance music as a teenager - a release for those that must imagine world's unseen and a projection of what it felt like to experience a new reality for the first time. Turbo Olé.

Angus Finlayson’s first LP is shot through with concussive kicks, writhing basslines, and finely tooled drum work. But even at their most powerful, these songs are remarkably nimble.

德国电子音乐制作人Paul Kalkbrenner最新专辑《Parts of Life》于2018年5月18日发布。

2010 release from the Danish musician, producer, remixer, DJ and live performer. Anders Trentemoller has risen to the heights of international success usually only connected with artists in more mainstream Pop realms. His outstanding skills and talent for heart-wrenching melodic moments, fused with his trademark sound, have helped him gain fans across the globe, and blur the boundaries between cutting-edge, underground quality and mass appreciation. This album offers as much depth and soul as its predecessor, The Last Resort, yet sounds ultimately fresh and different. Above all, the 10 tracks have a glorious Indie Rock sound, with a lot of dynamics, distorted driving twang-guitars and haunting synths alongside four beautiful melodic vocal tracks.

"What is music today? Is it still an essential form of art? Or is it now just another brand totally integrated in our surroundings? Do we still allow music to give us emotions or do we just want it to be acoustic wallpaper? Since 1997, F Communications has tried to answer these questions with the series of Megasoft Office albums. We still feel that the music we listen to in the F COM office creates a unique atmosphere and brings a permanent source of energy for your personal creativity. So like us, enjoy this fourth edition of Megasoft Office." Featuring: A Reminiscent Drive, Alexkid, Ready Made, Frederic Galliano, Nova Nova, Aqua Bassino, Fabrice Lig, Laurent Garnier, Jori Hulkkonen & Alexis Delano, Llorca, The Youngsters.

More than an anthology, Underworld’s 1992-2002 'Best of' album includes unreleased tracks as well as some mixes available for the first time on CD. 16 re-mastered tracks from the original. Over two and a half hours of music.

Underworld 1992-2002 is not the full story. Underworld's back catalogue is too vast and rich for that, but it's a gripping one all the same, marking each step along the twisting road from (to paraphrase the Clash) Romford to the world. If Underworld's music has ever chimed with a moment in your life, these are good memories. The best.
