GIRL UNIT // WUT
Oh man, another one… It feels like we’ve been throwing around ‘… of the year!’ statements an awful lot lately, which I suppose is testament to the amount of great music being made at the moment. In just the last couple of months we’ve had an endless stream of material from Ramadanman, Jam City’s ‘Ecstasy Refix’, Hyetal’s ‘Phoenix’, his collaborative 12” with Peverelist and the murky funk of...

Another month, another haul of new Olde English Spelling Bee releases, proving time and time again to be way ahead of the curve. Heading up November’s batch comes synth sorceress Stellar OM Source’s excellent space odysessy Trilogy Select. Centred around gorgeous, unending...

MIX // PEVERELIST 'MIX FOR JAPAN'
Stream/Download Peverelist ‘Mix For Japan’
There’s no hiding our love for Peverelist; and with output as consistent as his, why would we? Equally at home solidifying soundsystem roots or boldly pushing forward into the future, Pev’s productions are the sound of a man who takes inspiration from all around him. And of course, its only natural that the man is a master...

12"s YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED
9. October - That Placid/Ewan Pearson Remix [Caravan]
It’s less than two weeks now until the first Caravan night kicks off in Bristol with a live performance from Kassem Mosse (stay tuned for the full scoop on that one later this week) so it seems appropriate to take a look back at the label’s most recent release. It’s quite possible you missed this – we did - as it crept out in a manner...

LISTEN // STEVE REICH ON RADIO 3
One of the highlights of this year’s Red Bull Music Academy online coverage was an endlessly fascinating two hours spent with one of contemporary music’s pioneers, Steve Reich - >you can still watch the video here<.
Rather excellently, this week he’s the subject of BBC Radio 3’s Composer Of The Week programme, with the first of five episodes broadcast today, and...

BRISTOL // THE WEEK IN MUSIC
Given our Bristol location, we’re occasionally driven to ramble about how many excellent things are going on in our fair city. Almost every evening this week is taken up by something worth spending time at, from Murcof’s electro-acoustic experimentation (following on from his excellent secret gig at the Arnolfini in the spring) all the way to Qu Junktions’ massive Mountain Of Nine event on...

THE VILLAGE ORCHESTRA // WE CAN REMEMBER IT FOR...
We’ve taken the opportunity here on AE to rave about Ruaridh Law’s music before, but with his new album out today – and as the first release on his newly minted >Broken20< label – it seems a good excuse to waffle some more about it. His music as The Village Orchestra/TVO is a real shapeshifter, barely staying still for long enough to easily pin down. There are elements of almost everything...

VIDEO // GENEVA JACUZZI "BAD MOODS"
For some people, it seems like the only difference between “hipster shit” and “high concept, hypnagogic masterpiece” is the attractiveness of the artists in question. Message board bores look away now then, lest Geneva Jacuzzi and Ariel Pink’s Roman cavorting inspire the dorky vitriol of the chronically unfun. Lifted from this year’s quite fantastic Lamaze, Bad...

PHILIP JECK // AN ARK FOR THE LISTENER
Turntablist >Philip Jeck< is an aural impressionist: he lashes indistinct strokes of sound upon one another in much the same way as a painter might wield a brush. But there’s an extra crucial factor involved in his art – time. In Jeck’s hands the canvas’ third dimension is temporal, its Z axis stretching outward into a near-infinity of barely distinguishable individual snapshots, each...

FORTHCOMING // BECOMING REAL FEAT TRIM "LIKE ME"...
Forthcoming 15th November on Not Even
Hype eskibeat action from recent Ramp releasee Becoming Real and ex Roll Deep MC Trim. Pulling the disparate Grime elements of the aforementioned Fast Motion into focus, Becoming Real yanks on the strings to tighten the dislocated slump of his previous offering into steely grime futurism. Space age tribalism along the same lines as Zomby’s...

BRISTOL // DUBLOADED 13.10.10
Roska & Untold // Myth
The original and best midweek pressure test is back for another installment this week, with none other than Hemlock bossman and bass pioneer Untold in the headline slot. The man probably needs no introduction at this point, and if you caught him at Crazylegs insane Hessle Audio party you’re probably on board with the dude from here on out anyway. Having...

RICHARD SKELTON // CLOUWBECK
Good friend of AE James Balf takes an early morning tryst round the music of Richard Skelton, whose excellent Landings album came out at the start of the year on Type, and whose From Which The River Rises (as Clouwbeck) is creeping into the wider world as we speak.
Clouwbeck ~ From Which the River Rises by sustain-release
—- Proper murky, greyed out autumnal colours. Fog. Landscapes....

MIX // APPLEBLIM
This one kinda slipped through the net a bit, and in a way it’s surprising it hasn’t been more widely publicised – Laurie ‘Appleblim’ Osborne recently recorded a typically excellent mix for the Burlington Project. In keeping with the mood of the times, and Osborne’s own flighty eclecticism, it finds him moving between genres with characteristic ease. The first half largely explores the deeper...

ELGATO // TONIGHT
Sometimes it feels as though good 12”s are like buses – you wait for what seems like an eternity for one to arrive, then suddenly a half-dozen pile up at once and bleed your wallet dry. This week’s been one of those, with new material from James Blake, Jamie Woon’s stunning ‘Night Air’ (produced with assistance from a little-known fellow calling himself Will Bevan), A Made Up Sound’s glassy...

JAMES BLAKE // KLAVIERWERKE
And we return after a week or so’s hiatus, with a new burst of content up and coming over the next few days. First up is praise for more fucked-up beats from the man of the moment… While it’s probably getting a little tiresome reading the same unanimous praise from every corner of the music press at the moment, sometimes it’s fun to go with the flow. It wouldn’t be exaggerating in...
