The next release on Yulia Niko’s Libe Vibe imprint comes packed full of remixes but let’s begin with the Rich NxT version. Nobusan plays like a heady concoction of moods, influences and styles as rave-era stabs sit neatly alongside pounding drums and bass, sizzling Acid tweaks plus spacey effects and vocal edits. Put it this

Returning to the Magik Garden Festival late 2019 in Santiago de Chile the artist announces his intentions with this beautifully, haunting song and accompanying hard-hitting production. Expanding across ten minutes the music journeys through a sublime roller-coaster of fiery emotion as subtle percussion underpins the tough bass and kick drum combination. All of which supports

From the minds who compiled the ‘Close To The Noise Floor’ series comes this latest collection of music which is based around the creative power of synthesizers rather than the rock posturing of the guitar – although of course a good bit of rock guitar posturing is essential too.

Two reasons to love this EP. One: Tyree Cooper. Second: Music For Freaks. Stating the obvious may feel like a rerun of history and the message delivered here is one you will already understand but sometimes things need to be repeated. Tyree Cooper’s proudly defiant message is spoken with a sting in the tail as

Let’s cut to the chase. Buriel’s remix of this 1990 number requires your immediate and urgent attention due to the exceptional nature of it all. Combining a heady, ambient rush of pads alongside a sublime and breathy, otherworldliness while contrasting expectations via the smouldering delivery of bold, kick drums and sizzling hi-hats the world unfolds
