Yair Etziony | Ensemble (False Industries: CS/DL)Shasta Cults | Shasta Cults (Important Records: LP/DL) It’s always one of my favorite opportunities to follow-up on an artist’s work who I have heard somewhat recently to find any new motivations in their trajectory. Last year I reviewed Yair Etziony‘s Albion Remixes which I particularly enjoyed for its […]
Fehler Kuti | Schland Is The Place For MeAlien Transistor (LP/DL) A surprising debut from Munich-based Fehler Kuti.

Elsewhere on the record you can also […]
Post Scriptvm | Variola VeraTesco Organisation (LP/DL) Since the late 80’s Tesco Organisation has been releasing music with an edge.
