What can I say? I’m a fan of the artist behind the red mask. Redshape’s latest release is called Plonk. It comes on a blue translucent vinyl courtesy of Present.

The duo of Drew Daniel and Martin Schmidt, better known as Matmos returns with another full length cd. Harmless electronic pop sounds are emitted a plenty on this one as the cover art so well depict.

Dominik Eulberg has been one of the most influential and forward thinking producers out there for a very long time. Here we have his latest remix which sees him giving Hot Chip’s “One Pure Thought” a total reworking that will be sure to knock your socks off.
The record i choose to look back on today has lots of good memories for me for various reasons, and because it’s just a classic in it’s own right. I was going to go for the original but instead i opted for the quite rare remix from Hardfloor. A Guy Called Gerald “Voodoo Ray” (Hardfloor Remix).
Daniel Gardner AKA Frivolous is the long time, Canadian “Micro House” specialist. If your not sure where “Micro House” falls in terms of a genre think on the lines of Akufen & his specialised sounds.
It’s a perfect mix of many different samples, influences & genres all of which have been blended together to create one unique sound.
STL AKA Stephan Laubner is a mysterious German techno producer,who’s sound is a variation of expertly crafted house & techno but he will also take in dub and more ambient sounds along the way.
Rush Hour Recordings is without doubt one of the best upfront labels for house and techno at the moment. It can boast an extensive back catalogue spanning back over 9 years this will in turn have trainspotters & music heads alike climbing over each other to get the latest copy of the freshly printed wax. This is one reliable label that’s always on the money.

It seems like it’s been an age since i last bought a release from Recloose,his latest “Maui’s Lament” sees him releasing on the Dutch Rush Hour Recordings label. it’s two sides of pure, quality house music.
The Japanese based Mule Musiq label is at the forefront of cutting edge electronic music, with a impressive back catalogue, and a quality sub label (Mule Electronic) this label is getting stronger with every release.

Colin Mc Bean AKA Mr G has been known to show up with a quality record or two in his time as a producer take the Atmosphere EP from 2007 then there’s the U Askin? EP on Rekids also from last year
His latest one “Sometimes I Cry” sees it drop on the Dutch Oproof label, it’s a really good piece of acid techno & to put the cherry on the cake it comes complete with a great Radio Slave remix.
