Put simply. A lovely, very fine piece of music that strums and pulls at melancholy yet celebratory tones and tenses. Featuring Adam Callum whose yearning vocal delivery does all the pertinent live feeling electronic instrumentation noteworthy justice. Listen below. Second track, In Fragments then proceeds to plough the depths via haunting Strings and all manner

In a word, excellent. But then again, outstanding would also do. Have to say 2020 have excelled themselves with this release and of course the producer DOKTA whose fiery, informed blend of heightened tension generated by this array of unnerving synthesisers has really set the bar high when it comes to forward-thinking, probing at the

Afterlife’s brand new album feels as much about breathing in life as it does about celebrating it. Opening up the possibilities is the self-aware (and rare) On The Inside (co-written/ performed by Coldcut’s Jonathan More and Matt Black) which plucks a sense of George Harrison from the ether as vocalist Holly Chand fuses the cosmic

This, being one of very many, great productions from Ralphi Rosario is a case in point and now receives fresh fuel to revitalise your imagination. I’ll cut straight to the chase as Légo’s Dub from the

Harking back to good times, although containing a definite sting in the tail, is this latest from Pablo Bolivar. Combining grainy drums with the soothing, soulful voice of John Vermont creates a sense of excitable anticipation but with the added edge of gritty feeling synthesisers the production is lifted up a gear. Ian Pooley then

I like it when you turn something on and it grabs you turning you perceptions upside down in the process. And Electombo’s undulating, brilliant funkiness does just that. It sparkles in all the right places with fizzy snares, out-there voices and treatments all complimented by one serious bassline and punchy, exciting drums. Never a dull
