Outstanding. But before we go employing lazy associations and cliques with regards to music that sources ambience as inspiration let’s just say that this album isn’t simply about mood creation but pushes further at the edges of existence. That might be heart-wrenching intensity or richly dark moments. Equally the rush of romance or happy possibilities
-
Connecting a proud sense of history together with the ethereal vibes portrayed beautifully on the aptly named The Divine volume two sees the next chapter from Felix Da Housecat’s label. Breathy voice empowers the Deep arrangement with classic bass notes, probing drums and atmospherically rich music colouring in the spaces these sounds are very much

Saved from the depths of retrospective obscurity this overly familiar vocal sample now gets a fresh injection of meaning. Indeed, it surely says something about the producer who has transformed the clique into something so vibrant and exciting. The sonically charged arrangement is prime-time as brutal drums plus heavy duty stabs fuse furiously intense rhythms
-
What’s not to love? If you could kill for a bassline then this is it. Undoubtedly we’ve landed at party central and you get the clear impression that the producers (including Cesar Merveille and Isis) enjoyed creating Robots of Dawn as much as we do listening. It continues for nine plus minutes and every second

This is a great production from Oliver Chlass who’s darkly, brooding successions of sound prove to be rather irresistible. Smoky, fiery drums drive Magic Bleeps forward as its rolling bassline keeps you engaged, that plus a vigorous number of atmospheric sound effects that play out in all sorts of exciting ventures. Remixes come from Negativ

Exploring cinematic possibilities on In The Distance the artist touches upon greatness with music that transcends mere electricity. Taking all sorts of influences and producing your own is no easy task but Henry Saiz’s informed future probing sounds do just that with musicality never far from reach, transforming the production to a place set apart
-
Matt Edwards has of course been busy delivering some of the most thrilling, stimulating music on the planet as Radio Slave, however the purpose of his debut artist album sees those horizons pulled apart beyond expectations. The unnerving ambience generated by the opening, rather beautiful 2nd Home proves it’s not all boom and bust as
-
Cool yet fiery percussion creates an abundance of smoky rhythms that are all at once hard to resist on this vibrant, funky yet almost understated number. That plus Sooma’s deadpan though highly expressive vocal delivery soon lift the arrangement into somewhere else as probing synth hits add tension and colour to the music on the
-
I remember the first time I heard the title track and couldn’t wait to hear it for a second. Don’t Let Go combines robust, deep bass and beats together with a flair of musicality that is so often missing and only goes to enhance the quality of experience here, fusing the future with the past
