Feb
Shindu exploded onto to the dance scene last year with the fantastic debut single ‘Happy House’. Not only was the EP produced by man of the moment Moonlight Matters, it also came with some stellar remixes. Well, it’s time for the difficult second EP.

Chic Feat. Nile Rodgers Warehouse Project Review
14
Nov
The Warehouse Project turned into a bit of soap-opera this weekend as techNo DJ Jeff Mills declared that he wouldn’t be playing on Saturday. Rather than telling WHP, and the promoters, he took to Facebook to explain his no show and it was due to a disagreement with a third party booking agent who had been accused of racism.

The Supermen Lover 'Between The Ages' Album Review + Comp
9
Nov
Everyone knows Starlight, it’s like funk-kryptonite, it sold 2 million copies and made The Supermen Lovers one of the most recognisable producers in France and the world. Well, it’s time for the return of fantastically eccentric Frenchman, Guillaume Atlan, for a new adventure ‘Between The Ages’.
Surkin 'USA' Album Review
7
Nov
French electro maestro Surkin has been around ages, looking back at his releases they go back as far as 2006, but only now has he decided to release his debut album ‘USA’ via Ultralight. Has the 5 year wait been worth it? Well, no. On the whole it a bit hit and miss as the French producer shows off his influences through journey of pop, electro, house along with plenty of other odds from p-funk, synth pop, disco and hip hop. Unfortantely he’s unable to bring all these influences together in a way that works for an album, it’s fractured and a bit all over the place.

M83 'Hurry Up, We're Dreaming' Review
26
Oct
Epic, epic, epic… how many times have you read a review that starts with, ends with, and repeats this word throughout? This reviewer is guessing more than just the once… And, often, the music it is coupled with does not provide the listener with ample justification of the adjective’s perpetual overuse.
Aeroplane: In Flight Entertainment Review
24
Oct
Aeroplane has finally released his In Flight Entertainment compilation today, the premise behind the project was for Vito further his monthly mixtapes so artist’s actually might make some money, we know a scary thought. A compilation handpicked by Vito that would do Aeroplane’s mixtape series justice and, not only that, be so amazing that you would pay for it. A tall order, yes, but one that he, and the artists who have helped, have accomplished.
Justice 'Audio, Video, Disco' Album Review
9
Oct
Justice’s second album was always going to create a bit of a stir, and if you’re expecting Cross 2.0 then you might want to get your coat. It’s not. But, it is the soundtrack to a rebellious 80’s Hollywood action film that never got made. It’s big on grandeur, emotion and stadium rock. It never deviates from the concept too far, but it captures all those emotions you get from a classic action film where the hero, against the odds, saves the day and get’s the girl.
