Reviews
- R&S Records: In Order to Dance XI
"The techno/old-school undercurrent will sit nicely in the basement raves" - Apparat: DJ Kicks
"The latest instalment in the DJ Kicks series leans on the cinematic, blissful and far-reaching stoke of Berlin-based producer Apparat." - Clipse: Hell Hath No Fury
The album rides down the fine line that separates the superficial and the conscious, ignorance and awareness—and it leans both ways. - Zero dB – One Offs, Remixes and B Sides
four years after their superb debut and after the beat broth was running the risk of settling, Zero dB return with their rhythm seductive One Offs, Remixes and B sides - Andreya Triana: Lost Where I belong
Andreya Triana's debut Lost Where I Belong is not only a product of her talent. - Kode9 – DJ Kicks
To celebrate its 15th year, the DJ KICKS compilation series has brought on board Hyperdub label and DJ supreme Kode9. - Nasir Jones & Damian Marley – Distant Relatives
It may be one of the better albums you’ll hear this year but the story behind Nas's and Marley's new album is dark - Jill Scott: Who is Jill Scott? Words & Sounds Volume 1
Over a decade old Jill Scotts debut is still as moving as the day it drop.
