Justin Space brings a tech edge to Jazzhead by The Loom. Filtered bassy build ups with noise making female vocal, some sirens and little jazz flute. Head nodding party tune.
Mirrored
one of the most exciting releases i’ve stumbled across recently arrived in the form of Sclist’s Mirrored Ep. His is a name that has been cropping up in various camps of the future garage stronghold recently, but as demonstrated in this track Fina, he has ears that extend far beyond future g. wiggly.
Leave
Heard this a while back, but it has just crept out in a digital format on Ninja Tune’s XX compilation, celebrating twenty years of life. Dark Sky’s Leave is an absolute scorcher of garage futurism. Delicate ambience initially suggests a euphoric Phaeleh-esque direction, but slowly the synths squeeze in and then they hit hard. Woah.
Girls
Eim Ick has a new project with his girlfriend Taragana Pyjarama. An experimental approach to music production where loops are played live and recorded in one take. Filter house.
Save
Perfect patient pleaser for a chilled Sunday evening with sweeping pads, filtered piano chords, smooth vocals, soothing beats and an occasional windy bass groove.

Porcelain
Forthcoming on Dial Records is John Roberts debut album Glass Eights. His sounds are simple and smooth with gentle atmospheres and soulful melodies. Here are two true aural delights.
House
What do you get when an architect (Tuomas Toivonen [NOW]) is also a dj and producer?
Could this be the future of lectures, in nightclubs..?
LOL
With numerous productions under their belt, LOL Boys percussive tracks apply varying sounds for different occasions. Here’s a trio of sweet songs to accompany this new week.
Florrie – Give Me Your Love (LOL Boys Remix) [320]
Vessel
This video to Four Tet’s remix of Jon Hopkins’ Vessel is undoubtedly Pejhy!
Some words from the director Bison:
“We’d been looking into an old 3D technique called “Anaglyph”, which is the familiar red and cyan version of 3d that you used to get on the back of cereal boxes. The more we looked at various images that used this technique, the more we fell in love with the colours and decided that they should drive the aesthetic of the piece. In particular, we were intrigued as to what might happen if the two images were from drastically different sources.
The song is full of light and shade; with euphoric melodies and skipping glitchy beats. It seemed to us that themes of ‘duality’ ran through both the song and our visual idea.”
Never
Bologna based 26 years of age dj and producer I Never Dance, delivers his first EP to Instant Replay. The title track is a hard hitting disco fuelled dancefloor delight, edit of Crysalis.
An extra little something…
It’s no secrete that we give a lot of love to Ian Stevenson. Some of you may remember Ian mentioning that he was working on a new book in our interview last year and although we don’t normally post about book releases we found these recently released images form his up and coming publication just too good not to share.
The 30 page book entitled “An Extra Little Something” is due for release at the start of October and will be in an edition of 500. For those of you who have yet to read our interview with Ian you can do so Here, I also recommend checking out Joseph Bull’s short documentary Here
Shine
Lucky Shiner was released digitally this week with physical copies soon to follow. Produced over a two week christmas period whilst house and dog watching in the English countryside, it combines structured solid beats with melancholia melodies from various worldly instruments. For around five pounds you can purchase the entire album from the Ghostly Store, which includes fourteen tracks, bargain.
Archive
I found this video on Future Shorts, and it reminded me of something I have been thinking about for a while.
As we constantly strive to find and create newer, edgier music. Are we neglecting an important part of our collective musical heritage?
Do we need to look back to move forward, or is that irrelevant at the speed we are going? Just a thought…
King
As autumn approaches and summer slowly turns to glowing memories, I found this little number that brings the sun out in my mind.
An Einmusik remix of Miro’s ‘African King’. This lovely slow building track keeps things phat and funky, with atmospheric sounds and an addictive little melody. So bring out the crown and dust off the gowns, its not over yet…

Snow Show
Video is increasingly becoming an important medium for Street artists to show work and communicate to their audience. Whether their producing time lapse videos such as Lucy Mclauchlan’s “Tacit”, viral hits such as Blu’s “Muto” or fully blown feature length movies such as this years “Exit thought the gift shop” by Banksy.
“It’s Snowing” is the latest animation project from the Brazilian street art duo, Os Gemeos.
I’m particularly excited about this project as i’ve always wanted to see what their creations would look like in motion and after seeing this beautifully illustrated trailer, expectations are sky high. We can’t wait to see how this one turns out.
Hand
An old favourite takes on a new entity in my field of knowledge. The youthfully meditative Gold Panda remixes the exciting fresh sounds of Aslope’s Close off his recent A Helping Hand Ep. A wonderful fusion of wonky westcoast style sounds and fruity future garage patterns creates a track to slip in close to the likes of Mount Kimbie. YUM.
Forever
What a lovely surprise to return home from a holiday to. Shed has released an album called The Traveller on Ostgut Ton. I’ll save up some pennies and buy it as soon as i can, so that i can immerse myself in fuzzy technoid UK nostalgia once again. From a quick once through of the previews on the ever giving Boomkat this little gem shone strongest for me. Luscious.
Tunnel
The Walk and Rogerseventytwo are together TWR72. Their latest release on Instant Replay is a building arrangement of electronic noise inducing sensations of anticipation and tension, altogether an overwhelming sound. The video is a visual wonder too.
