CHOICE CUT- Prommer & Barck ‘Alex & The Grizzly’

CHOICE CUT – Prommer & Barck / ‘Alex & The Grizzly’ CD / Digital Derwen Recordings / Released April 18th 2011 An album with a cover so fitting it’s as if the image came first. Or maybe the title. Chicken or egg, the contents are the same- deep, downbeat, jazzy electronica that’s so full of […]

Slam ‘Crowded Room’

The Scottish legends serve up some old school sounding techno on the A, and then get drummy on the B. Both tracks for the heads, fans of Sweden, acidic synths and heavy kick drums take note.

Various Artists ‘Fabric 57: Agoria’

France’s finest producer returns triumphant after his last LP to add another string to the bow with the next Fabric mix. Tracks from Cottam, Mark E, Eisbar, and, believe it or not, Ella Fitzgerald all appear on a journey from dub to house, techno and, er, jazz.

Hard, fast and very much on amphetamines it’s also accessible, and therefore may have only just started to leave the late evening airwaves. Between then and now, or, more accurately, 1984, when he first […]

Producer’s producer, provider of epic DJ sets, and an avid dog walker. Joel Mull is all this and then some, as we found out when we called in at base camp, AKA Stockholm, for a chat with the Truesoul, Drumcode, Kompakt Extra and Cocoon man.
