Concessionaires ~ Artificial Interface
This album reminds me of an old trance song, Space Manoeuvres’ “Phase One”. (“In deep space … abandoned.” “Any crew?” “Negative.”) Not that it’s a trance album; trance-inducing, perhaps, but thankfully lacking in repetitive beats. That track existed in multiple

Moody Alien ~ A Moody Alien in the Dark
Moody Alien (also known as Mal.O, also known as Al) has spent a number of years recording these tracks, but this is his first official release. Is he moody? Yes. Is he an alien? Possibly. Is his real name Al? No

Swarm Intelligence ~ On The Edge Remixes
The original On The Edge EP – four tracks of hyperactive bass-heavy dubstep – came out in September last year, and after a decent sized gap, here come the remixes which, as much as anything, serve as an introduction to

Konntinent ~ Kiruna
Named after the northern-most Swedish city, Kiruna is moody, atmospheric electronica and although many of the tracks are beatless, it’s assuredly not passive ambient music. It’s less chill-out and more like a blast of frozen air from the northern wastes,

Max Bondi ~ Convolution
Perhaps it is my over-active imagination, or maybe I’ve watched Toy Story too many times, but I have wondered, on odd occasion, what happens to my gadgets when I’m not around. Do my microwave, fridge and laptop all suddenly spring

Black Polygons ~ Black Polygons
Paris’ Black Polygons (Cyril Rampal) follows his succinct 2011 self-titled EP (3 tracks, 6 minutes) with a longer self-titled album (13 tracks, 25 minutes). These are exactly the sort of tracks one yearns for when making mix tapes: high quality, high energy

Various Artists ~ Tectonic Plates Volume 3
The first Tectonic Plates compilation was a timely capturing of the major players in dubstep; six years later comes the third volume and it’s time to move things on again. The steel grey cover and the terse names listed don’t
