This weekend was all about Emptyset : Check out the track "Awake" on their Myspace account. That track is representative of the dou's (James Ginzburg and Paul Purgas) general approach to sound design—severe, minimal, and architectural. But in the middle of these dust, digital, artificial, micro constructions, there sometimes appears a funky house beat. When the two meet (funky beat...

It was great to be back in the studio after a six-week hiatus due to all the traveling I’ve been doing lately. Such pauses are always great because there’s an embarrassment of new music to play; the vast majority of this week’s show was new stuff - at least new to me. So many tracks, but [...]

Bizarre double-pack of remixes from 1995. Picked this up for the two Carl Craig mixes and the Rabbit On The Moon one. The word 'bodyjazz' sent shivers down my spine at first but when I put the records on the fear went out the window. Carl Craig's first mix is downbeat with a female vocal, Rabbit In The Moon's mix is techno-tastic and Craig's second mix is outstanding. A beautifully produced track that...

Why I bought it? I’m not really a fan of Shadow’s headz-y, abstrakt brand of electronica. Until now, I’d only owned two other discs on the label and in both cases I’d completely forgotten that they were released on Shadow. Neither the Audio.nl album or Sneakster’s “Pseudo Nouveau/Fifty Fifty” bear much resemblance [...]

The irresistible beat of Basic Channel's Von Oswald, Vladislav Delay's Sasu Ripatti, and NSI's Max Lodbauer captures four splendid sets of abstract patterns. Moritz von Oswald's collaboration with Carl Craig titled its resected classical pieces "Movements". On Vertical Ascent, von Oswald's collective troika with NSI's Max Lodbauer and Sasu Rippatti (Luomo/ Vladislav Delay), the four tracks...

The name Redshape has become synonymous with a brand of highly refined and cinematic Detroit techno ever since the release of his 'Shaped World' 12" on Delsin in 2006. There have been numerous rumours surrounding this enigmatic producer in the red mask: is he a former KGB agent with a love for Detroit techno? Was his face disfigured in an overloaded-909 incident? Is it Moby in disguise? Hopefully...
