Magazine Sixty Music Review with Don Philippe
Greg Fenton review Don Philippe – velvet breaks – Sonar Kollektiv A world of mystery awaits, populated by smouldering, shadowy figures employing emotion to reignite a decaying past, or so it might seem at first glance. Don Philippe’s carefully crafted, succinct timepieces formed as tracks of music range from the warmly enticing to the less…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with N808
Greg Fenton reviews N808 – The Ocho – Dirtybird You could say Buckle Up is genius, or ingenious. It delivers a twisted, crazed narrative of slinky beats, enhanced stereophonic repertoire, alongside the kind of sleazily intended music that gets pulses racing. n808 & Mike Kerrigan’s creation is tempting and deeply satisfying, as its restraint is…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Firmin
Greg Fenton reviews Firmin – Heartcuts – Under The Palm Trees Is it just me or does this remind you of Joy Division’s beautiful swansong, Atmosphere in more ways than one?

Greg Fenton reviews Guentner + Spieth – Conversion – Affin Music At the risk of repeating myself, music inspired by uncharted explorations using drones to craft overlapping atmospheres needs to be quite exceptional or specific to stand out and be heard nowadays, given the vast number of similar compositions. Fortunately, the sounds and emotions within…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with MADMADMAD
Greg Fenton reviews MADMADMAD – Run – Def Pressé Ideas and emotions get twisted and crazy listening to MADMADMAD. I guess the clue might be contained in the name. But how to describe the music is wonderfully difficult, not being told exactly how to perform, to fit convention, not sitting still long enough to approximate…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Dj Streaks
Greg Fenton reviews Dj Streaks – Slinky EP – Weapons Slinky appears in two fiery forms. For an explosive, energetic burst, try the Bakery Extended edit, which crackles with dazzling electronic sequences that make it an irresistible temptation for late nights. Served over a straightforward sonic mix of tough drums and a single repeated vocal…
