It doesn’t matter if tiger girl Xosar is closely befriended with Legowelt or not. What matters is her impressive entry to the stage of electronic music with “Tropical Cruize”, an EP on L.I.E.S. Soon after that the next one: Nice graphic sleeve holds red vinyl containing a power snack consistingRead More →
Plant43 appeared on one of Semantica’s five year anniversary compilations and returns now with a four-track electro EP. Most of the new material exhibits the melodic and placid side of electro, starting with “Neon”, good for nocturnal downtown cruising in a light drizzle. “Stellar Nursery” embarks on a space missionRead More →
Rating: 9/10 Det är lite konstigt that after a couple more or less experimental releases by Perispirit, Nova Scotian Arms and KPLR, Digitalis seems to have inaugurated a discodrome in Tulsa to welcome a special guest from Europe. Compared with aforementioned albums, “Muzika Electronic” sounds like a dance record. Almost,Read More →
Rating: 7/10 There are hundreds of quintillions possible combinations for solving the Rubik’s cube. Easily the same amount could be attributed to programming options of 303 or 808.

So the titles promise serious German engineering that comes in a form of acid and distorted bass.The sleeve sports a writing “Robotron”, known as a computer brand in the German Democratic Republic, and the soundRead More →
Rating: 9/10 Transportation AAD is in charge for heavy cargo. So far I had associated Darkestral with dubstep and drum’n’bass, but Alex Green’s and Paul Laidlaw’s seismic debut goes to the extremes in bass dosage. A-side’s “Last Train To Lexington” booms and thunders like hell and tells it’s definitely notRead More →

Rating: 10/10 “Journey Of The Deep Sea Dweller I” is for Terminal 313 and any other electro head the most anticipated reissue of 2011. In fact a compilation, it catapults us back to the 1990’s when enigmatic Detroit act was still around. No need to repeat numerous superlatives that haveRead More →
Rating: 9/10 Pff…dff…zhlkk…ghzz. A rational mind has spoken and composed fourteen interpretations on the theme “Uni”.
