Bedrock album for Marco Bailey

Belgian techno heavyweight Marco Bailey is set to follow up on singles for John Digweed and Nick Muir’s Bedrock imprint with a full album, Dragon Man, in February.

Mark Broom & James Ruskin ‘ Blueprint 031’

We’re talking 21st Century soul music that’s still got one foot in Detroit, while another stands firmly placed on British soil. The perfect solid stocking filler if ever ther was one.

Mat le Star & Chris Peinado ‘Murky Waters’

With just over a year behind it Superbeat offers a release from label boss Mat le Star, alongside Chris Peinado. Rare in its relentless proggyness, that it’s backed with some acid flavours is a nice little bonus.

Review: Julien Parise ‘Dirty Symphony’

Top marks must to go to Kevin Scherschels, though, who rips up the Symphony rulebook, forsaking accessibility for a deep and dreamy slice of downtempo progressive trance.
