Four dazzling, extended engagements with mbalax master-drumming. The contribution from Holy Tongue is chase-the-devil steppers — thumping, clangorous, reverberating — super-charged with energy and atmosphere. From the off, drummer Valentina Magaletti detonates a hard rain of small bombs, rounds of fire, ticking fuses. Musical co-ordinates are somewhere between classic On-U Sound crew like African Head Charge, The Mothmen, and Creation Rebel, and the experimental funk of the Pop Group and 23 Skidoo, at their funkiest. Thrillingly, the two dubs are increasingly deranged. Adjusting the same wavelengths as her Learn More

‘Threads’ was my 1st album as Om Unit and this 10-year re-mastered anniversary edition comes around at what feels like a similar time for me of experimentation and finding new ways to connect sounds.

Now even better thanks to Subvert Central’s Robert Macchiochi! Learn More

THE BIG BOSS - Inner Space (2 x 180g LP) Learn More

Jonny L remains one of the most enigmatic artists to grace our scene. His sound is unique and varied, and each release stands alone and unique in a world full of similar sounding music. This EP is, once again, perfectly cast. Both old skool and new, it is heavily techno influenced, but would sit comfortably next to early R&S or Frank De Wulf releases, or at a deep techno event, or at any old skool event. This EP is tough as nails and the bass is thunderous, a real no holds barred workout - you have been warned! Learn More

Glasgow's Full Dose delivers its first injection of the year with Lvcchesi offering up a fascinating EP. Opener 'Vsna' is all about scratchy ambient textures, implied rhythms and bleak atmospheres, much like the work of early Actress. 'Vespucci' then lays down more of a club groove, with hissing and spitting electro beats and more great synth craft before 'Ominino' is a mix of caustic textures, frosted synths and explosive loops that is as eerie as they come. Last of all is an S&H Late Nite Hot mix that is just as unsettling, with whirring machine sound and a soulful feminine voice lost amongst the busted sounds. Learn More
