Planet E - PE 65292
It’s always making my palms sweat instantly to see a Planet E record on the new releases’ list. Not many labels do that to me these days, but I really cannot recall any disappointments from this label during the years. Not to mention that Planet E is one of the most […]

Pepe Bradock - Intriguing Feathered Creature

Atavisme - ATA 008
If you look at Pepe Bradock’s career, you will see that has been very determined in making increasingly undanceable music. The days of “Life” and “Deep Burnt” are in the past, the recent records like “Rhapsody In Pain” or “Sakura Incident” make you wonder if Mr Julien Auger is using his credit […]

Aus Music - AUS 0810
Sian, born Graham Goodwin, is your not-so-average Irish guy. Google him and you will find he was „raised gypsy-style“ in Spain. My illiteracy on the subject says that this means he has probably travelled his share and knows a thing or two about flamenco. I tried to find other people on […]

Sei Es Drum - SED001
I haven’t heard so many speculations about a track for a long time now (possibly since „Sinner In Me“), so the efforts of the Berlin gang to promote the hell out of this DJ tool have quite probably succeeded at large. Now that the mystery is solved and the record is […]

Sascha Dive - DEep

Drumpoet Community - DPC 011-1
Drumpoet Community is a nice little Swiss label that’s working in cooperation with Compost to release music in the style of „b-boy house & technosoul“ – pretty inventive pigeonholing by the guys themselves, I must say. Quarion’s „Karasu“ was an instant hit for me last year. This time it’s Germany’s Sascha […]
