Magazine Sixty Music Review with FeelGood
Greg Fenton reviews FeelGood – Dirty Fly – DIRTYBIRD The week may have ended, but the music hasn’t stopped. Dirtybird, and more specifically FeelGood, serve up this notably fiery groove in a world that sometimes lacks musical excitement, primed with an explosive edge that turns your head. Dirty Fly doesn’t quite sound like anything else,…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Sasha
Greg Fenton reviews Sasha – Hollow Sun – Last Night On Earth Sounding like every expectation of nights out across the decades, this latest production from Sasha doesn’t so much reignite the past as redefine it. You can’t help but feel the pride of history running through Hollow Sun25, conveyed through its swirling pads, flashes…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with The Silent Harvest Volume Two
Greg Fenton reviews The Silent Harvest Volume Two – Folk Police Recordings We can safely say that summer has arrived, bringing with it days of lazy haze and dreams of air conditioning. Thankfully, there is something innately and deeply satisfying about this collection of music inspired by the late-sixties album by Ewan MacColl and Peggy…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Instruments Of Rapture
Greg Fenton reviews Instruments Of Rapture – Certain Realities – Instruments Of Rapture There’s always a twist in the tale, new ways to tell the same story if only you take the time to look. I get that feeling from Make It Right, which opens this EP, channelling a sense of history through a contemporary…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Galcher Lustwerk
Greg Fenton reviews Galcher Lustwerk – Vestibule Remixes EP – Stratasonic Following the release of the Vestibule EP earlier this year comes a tantalising collection of remixes, each exploring its own distinct mood and rhythmic identity. Ricardo Villalobos opens proceedings with two exceptional reworkings of the title track, with the more forceful VOLPAT Cut 2…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Scanner
Greg Fenton reviews Scanner – The Prophet The second production from Scanner this week is simply because this effortless, thoughtful piece of music delights the circuits and excites the senses. Based on G-force’s recreation of the 1978 Prophet 5 synthesiser, it may have started life as a playful idea and is now a fully realised…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Geins’t Nait + LØ + Scanner
Greg Fenton reviews Geins’t Nait + LØ + Scanner – Behind The Door – Offen Music Any reason is a good one to revisit this release from a couple of months ago, ostensibly because it now appears on CD for a limited time – perhaps so limited that it has already gone? Downloading is always…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with EF82
Greg Fenton reviews EF82 – Parameters EP – Friday Island Lo Tides Delivered with an earth-scorching intensity, the lead track, Parameters, defies its own boundaries reaching toward something seemingly infinite. Undulating synth stabs become drone-like in execution as dub effects echo into the distance, accompanied by pounding singular drums alongside haunting voices shifting across the…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Bruno Berle
Greg Fenton reviews Bruno Berle – Não Posso Viver Sem Você – Far Out Recordings This rather wonderful piece of music co-written with Batata Boy feels like a meditation on intimacy and human closeness. I love its uncomplicated yet carefully crafted instrumentation, drifting along without unnecessary fuss. Warm keys, crisp hi-hats and gorgeous strings combine…
