Out next week (December 15th) on Jaymo and Andy George’s Moda Black label comes the new EP from one of the labels shining lights, Hauswerks, aka Leeds producer Colin Barratt.

Album Review: Underworld – Dubnobasswithmyheadman – Deluxe
Now that the storm of the remastered re-issue is calming down, I feel its time to write about one of my all time favourite albums. One of the main things that struck me while reading through various reviews from a number of fawning critics was that at the time of its release I don’t remember anyone really …
New Music: Röyksopp & Robyn – A Monument to Everything (Kindness Remix)
Röyksopp & Robyn have been virtually spewing out a string of fantastic songs since coming together.

It’s out on Monday 18th Aug along with a Mark E mix. Bainbridge has been somewhat …
Track: Boski – Give it Up
I don’t really feel like dancing this morning. In fact, to be perfectly fair I don’t feel like dancing most of the time, unless its been a really long night. But if anything were to get me out of my seat right now, it would be Boski’s ‘Give It Up’. The London DJ is beginning …
Album Review: Debukas – I am Machinery
John Clark knows his stuff.

See: Laura Welsh releases new video for Cold Front
You read about the song in our piece earlier in June, now watch the video for Laura Welsh’s “Cold Front” (single out on 15 July). Erotic, sensual and enticing, the video opens with the neat conceit of a dancer being manipulated by silhouetted puppet masters. But it doesn’t overplay the idea, the video developing through …
News: Unknown Festival, Croatia 10th – 14th September Announces line-up
Everyone likes a decent holiday, don’t they. Me, I love visiting places- it’s just the getting there that bothers me. You see, I’m scared of flying. Not just scared though, like properly terrified. I have to go to America sometimes, and in the weeks running up to it, I can barely sleep, become sullen and irritable, in …
Feature: Acid House, 25 (or so) years on, plus playlist
It’s difficult to imagine now. Not since Punk exploded a decade before had there been such an outcry, such a controversy in popular music. Like Punk, it was vilified in the press, accused of dragging ordinary teens into drug culture, and the inevitable casualties of the scene were accentuated for shock effect on front pages …
