Track: SPC ECO – Out of my system
ON this fathers day (here in the UK at least) it seems almost fitting to write about father-daughter group SPC ECO (pronounced Space Echo), the elder being Dean Garcia formerly 50% of Curve, joined by singer (and junior) Rose Berlin. Their album Dark Matter, which dropped less than a year ago, was widely revered and …
Track: Boxed In – Jist

Track: Twin Graves – Strife
Despite having a name that screams ‘death metal’ at you (well, it did at me anyway) Twin Graves, aka Irish/Blackpool duo Jeremy Aris Polychronopoulos (vocals/guitar) Zarah Lawless (vocals/bass/synth) actually make the most engaging and catchy synth pop this side of Kim Wilde and ABC. Seriously. If you don’t immediately fall for new single Strife then …
New Music: Promise Keeper – Porous Silk
London producer/singer-songwriter Promise Keeper has released his new track, and second in total. Called Porous Silk, it mixes up the sort of 80’s pop funk of Tears for Fears with some Italio-Disco, and a splash of piano house. He’s not just satisfied with that though, throwing the kitchen sink (if that kitchen sink say were …

EP: CJ Mirra – Young Macaw
London-based musician and composer CJ Mirra released his second solo EP Young Macaw via his own imprint Colour8. Just under 10 minutes in length, the EP includes 2 energetic tracks, title-track Young Macaw full of wavy synths and pounding rhythms, and Primary Cascade, a bass- and beat-driven dance anthem. While very different, they tell a …
Track : déCollage – Magnetize
Denver based art collective déCollage have revealed the title track of their album – “Magnetize”. A shuffling collage of saxophone, scratches, samples and soul. It soundtracks a particularly fevered dream where the beat ebbs and flows, and old jazz records play over 1980s videogames. Lead by producer Reed Fuchs, déCollage are part of Moon Magnet, a …
Track: Mattress – Fuck the Future
“You know, maybe the sun won’t come up tomorrow. Let’s say that’s the case. This is it. Let’s make a great mess while we can my friends.” So says Portland, Oregon’s Rex Marshall, aka Mattress.
