Dark Arx – Blood Vein

Kevin de Caluwé — Mon, 03 May 2010 17:30:23 +0000

Dark Arx is a label from London, trying to bridge the gap between dubtechno and UK garage. Expect the subtleness of Berlin combined with the ravier London street sounds. The result is a refreshing and well crafted tune. Recommended!

Deadboy – If U Want Me

Esco — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 10:17:50 +0000

Finally finally FINALLY this song has hit the streets as a digital download on the new Numbers label. Vinyl has sold out of distribution in one day!! Tapping into London’s rich musical heritage from early 90′s Hardcore all the way through to UK Garage and House, Deadboy’s ‘If you want me’ still shares the same sense of futuristic melancholia as the first wave of Detroit Techno by the likes of Derrick May and Juan Atkins. Future classic.

Ah, and you’re a fool if you haven’t checked out the equally brilliant ‘U Cheated‘ before!

Rob Smith Feat. Gaddiel – Living In Unity

A classic Bristol soundsystem anthem, remastered and re-released on Unearthed, Punch Drunk’s new sister label.

Aubrey – Dark (Pendle Coven Mix)

Kevin de Caluwé — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 20:32:14 +0000

Pendle Coven remixes this Basic Channel sounding track by veteran Aubrey. It’s dirtier than I’m used to hear from Pendle Coven, but it’s got a floating atmosphere which I like too much.

Check out the other remix and the original version on the official release.

XXXY – This Much

Great new stuff from XXXY. He has been on our radar screen before, but seriously watch this guy in 2010! Quirky cut-up vocals, great bassline and funky twostep breaks. Lovely new track.

Groove Chronicles – Stone Cold

Kevin de Caluwé — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 15:32:29 +0000

I came across this garage tune in the XXXY mix for Sonic Router (fantastic stuff, download it at Sonic Router). A pure nineties bassline, Aaliyah samples, and shuffling hihats make this track a true classic. Sweetness!

Joy Orbison – She Dressed In Her Best

Kevin de Caluwé — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 11:59:49 +0000

Unreleased-Joy-Orbison-tune-alert. The bass in this one is killing, the beats are cool, and the sounds are refreshing. Joy Orbison’s tracks have matured, have more layers and are even more melodic. Emotional electronic music for the dancefloor as Gilles put it. Correct.

Floating Points – Truly

Kevin de Caluwé — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 18:59:12 +0000

Thanks to my colleague Esco, I discovered Floating Points (yes, this blog is all about discovering new music!) . ‘Truly’ has an amazing swing, and adds up layers of dissonant melodies. Think Zomby but happier, think Joy Orbison but more off beat. Perfect music to start the new decennium.

Kowton – Stasis (G mix)

Kevin de Caluwé — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 20:39:06 +0000

Heard this one on the fantastic blog Sonic Router, and I can not add a thing to their perfect description:

‘Stasis (g mix)’ (…) just rolls out like a long lost garage joint that Basic Channel and Youngsta forgot to make back in 2001. The deepness is hypnotising. Enjoy!

Photek – Rings Around Saturn

Kevin de Caluwé — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 18:38:21 +0000

Rings Around Saturn is without any doubt my favourite Photek tune. The sweetness of the rain in the background with the bird’s song, the pads, the bass and the perfect drum programming make this song a delight to listen. Makes me smile everytime I hear it. Classic!!
