Central Line – Surprise Surprise (Olivier Boogie Edit)
After kicking off 2013 with the disco stomping Dance Roll Rhythm EP on Lumberjacks In Hell, Olivier Boogie is fast becoming one of my favourite edit maestros. This year-old cut comes straight from the Amsterdam producer’s vaults, a rework of …
Sandrow M – Schnaubi
Acclaimed Dresden label Uncanny Valley put out intriguing house music always a little left-of-center. Their latest, Prayervan EP from Sandrow M, is no exception. The second B-Side in particular is squidgey amalgam of acid bass and gritty synths.…
Mr. Tophat & Art Alfie – Dusty Ballrooms EP
Junk Yard Connections, a Stockholm-based vinyl-only label, is the slightly more subdued alternative to Mr. Tophat & Art Alfie’s new imprint, the floor-friendlier Karlovak. The Swedish newcomers have carved out a distinctively rough sound across …

Low-slung conga chugger from DJ Nature, due out soon on Futureboogie. A serious, locked-in groove.…
Mount Kimbie – Made To Stray
We recently reported on the appearance of ‘Made To Stray’ on Ben UFO’s Rinse FM show, the first tit-bit from Mount Kimbie’s second album. Casting aside their previously featherweight sound, ‘Made To Stray’ opts for a darker approach, with a …
Romare – Love Songs: Part One
Romare’s acclaimed first EP wore the po-faced title Meditations on Afrocentrism and mined its samples from a multitude of songs, speeches, interviews and films to purportedly join the dots between African and African-American music. But …
Benedict Jackson – If Only
