GHOSTLY SWIM 3 V/A [Ghostly International] - Kinetic selection of breakbeat/IDM-oriented ravers from a wild ruck of producers including Dj Python, Gábor Lázár, Bullion, Aquarian, X-Altera and many more for Ghostly’s Adult Swim series. While also dipping into slinkier house and broken beat styles, the majority, and the best cuts, come from familiar artists on a ruder flex, including Gábor Lázár with the neuro-style licks and tweaky jazz-funk torque of ‘Fractured’, Aquarian on a meter-messing flex between Carpenter-esque darkwave bass and jungliest shrapnel, and the 4 hero-styled space funk of Tadd Mullinx in X-Altera mode, while DJ Python unfurls the reticulated tresillo slink of ‘Chalet’, and consistent charmer Bullion works up the itchy, pleasingly awkward funk of ‘Rhino’.
MINOR SCIENCE - Second Language [Whities/AD93] - ‘Second Language’ is the debut album of IDM and magpied rhythmic modernism by Angus Finlayson aka Minor Science. Rendering his first release since 2017, Minor Science delivers 10 tracks of wistful arrangements that coyly flirt with the floor one minute, and induce listeners to horizontal states the next. Mercurial nods to footwork, ghetto-tech and D&B expand his usual tempo bracket (normally between 120-135bpm) into faster styles, whilst his proggy tendencies come into play in a way recalling Konx-Om-Pax’s misty-eyed IDM styles.
PAUL BLACKFORD - Betamax [CPU Records] - Paul Blackford is a producer who has long embodied these two facets of CPU’s output. While the tempos of Betamax may be rather relaxed, the sonic palette used here very much links up with CPU’s other drops. It is one forged in the forward-thinking electronic styles of the 1990s - Drexciyan electro, Boards Of Canada’s wistful electronica and the boundary-pushing IDM of Rephlex Records. Mind you, this is also one of the first CPU drops to draw a little from another side of the traxx - though Betamax may not be as schooled in plunderphonics as DJ Food or Nightmares On Wax, there is something in the lilt of these beats which obliquely doffs its cap to those old breaks.
BORDERLANDSTATE_the best kisser in L.A. - Hello Mainframe [Exit Records] - “Our music develops chaotically. We add things and add things and throw most of them away. We use synths, pedals, and delay units and record them into a laptop which, against all odds, continues to struggle on. tracks live across three or four project files because the layering of sounds is dense. we sample ourselves back and forth, not knowing where things will end up, looking for the right texture” The significance of dBridge, Exit and Autonomic shouldn’t be underestimated for Borderland State and The Best Kisser in LA, we’re told that “Our influences are disparate but Autonomic was a constant. without him (dBridge) and Instra:mental, these tracks would not exist.”
AL WOOTTON - Witness [Trule] - The debut album from Al Wootton.Taking the strands of his influences such as UK Garage, dub, jungle/drum and bass, techno and house music, Al Wootton has weaved together an album that stands together as a deep listen while maintaining high dance floor energy.
PERKO - Rounded [NV Auto] - The seven tracks on this EP hear Perko mining the grooves between his favourite genres for building blocks of inspiration. Drawing from UK soundsystem culture and modern experimental music, half of the record explores deeper atmospheric passages and meditative repetition, characterised by layers of subtly shifting chords, field recordings and delicate polyrhythms. Three dancefloor cuts, spread throughout the rest of the record, retain this detail and interplay with added energy. Perko’s sense of rhythm & space is clear with ‘Rounded’s glacial synths, blown out drum machines and sculpted sub sine waves - it’s streaming in full now. ‘What Otters’ forges playful UKG touches within a paperclip framework of space-echoes and sparks, whilst ‘Songbirds’ flips into 4/4 drive with percolated alarms and shimmering pads.
FOUL PLAY - Origins [Sneaker Social Club] - Repackaged by Sneaker Social Club, and given the re-master treatment by Beau Thomas at Ten Eight Seven Mastering—one of the UK underground’s go-to engineers, and a connecting strand of so many corners of the wider scene—Origins is both a bulletproof collection of tried-and-tested tracks, and a snapshot of a period of unrivaled creativity in UK dance music. The euphoric chord progression and Barbara Roy hook of “Dubbing You” still brings all the warmth of a mid-party epiphany. “Ragatere” deploys the dub sirens, Amen breaks, and Tenor Fly sample that would all become staples of ragga jungle. Whereas the original four-track releases “Feel The Vibe” and “Ricochet,” and their subsequent remixes, were split across discs, here they tumble straight into one another to delirious effect. This album encompasses all the energetic undulations and ‘what the fuck is this?!’ moments of the best DJ sets, but—somewhat crucially at this moment in time—it can still be enjoyed without setting foot in a club.
