Boomkat product review for: john tejada / bruno pronsato / various - Adjunct Volume One A mysterious new label launched by your friends and ours Kenneth James Gibson otherwise known as [A]pendics Shuffle and Orac's own Konstantin Gabbro. They kick it all off quite simply with a killer 12" sampler "volume one", and a few willing souls ably assist. Rising techno star Pheek of Minus and Contexterrior notoriety opens up with "Boot Me", an undeniably strong linear bumper, a warehouse quaker if ever...

Boomkat product review for: john tejada - Antithesis The new Tejada 12” on fledgling Hong Kong label Sino features a remix from Dutch Techno legend Steve Rachmad aka Sterac. Featuring Tejada in full 4/4 mode, and drawing influence from Detroit makes a winning combination, sounding close to the rolling grooves of Aril Brikha and using deep, deep synths to create a techno blueprint. The Steve Rachmad mix is more loop based, almost Rob Hood in the shortness of the melody, yet with a real vintage...

Boomkat product review for: john tejada - Eurotunnel / Calibration Whilst it's true that all of John Tejada's releases should be considered a lambent treat, the fact that this new 12" sees one of electronic music's foremost production dons joining forces with the Berlin-based ~scape for their first one-on-one, is something to get a little sweaty over... With a history that encompasses all points of the electronic compass (not to mention his I'm Not A Gun collaborations), Tejada here embraces the...

Boomkat product review for: john tejada and arian leviste - Syntax Free It was only a matter of time before Tejada landed on Playhouse. This is a natural home for the undisputed king of the deep micro-beat, and ‘Syntax Free’ is a truly inspired slice of dancefloor tweaking. Playhouse have defined themselves as champions of the dancefloor-track-with-a-twist, and here is a seriously fine example of just that. 4/4? Certainly, but with enough bounce and depth to spanner even the most dedicated IDM...

Boomkat product review for: john daly - Sky Dive EP This is a certain kinda record, out of time, percussive and true, house music that made us all fall in love with the style originally. Heavy keys sustain as the "sky dive" topside boogies on, a speeded up funk break tugging the implicit groove apparently never-ending, timbales unabashed and very much to the fore. You could almost have mistaken this for the true work of Kenny Dixon jr and that's one mighty compliment. "Broken Juno" runs some heavily...

Boomkat product review for: john daly - Solitaire / Back It Up New from Irish producer John Daly this 12" comes credited as a release of International Records Recordings, which is a most whimsical name for a record label, is it not? 'Solitaire' strives for a classic space disco sound, and achieves an accurately old fashioned warble to its floating synth lines whilst steadying the groove with some tightly funked bass and a galloping beat. 'Back It Up' quite sensibly doesn't deviate too far from...

Boomkat product review for: john beltran - Dashiki Bouncy broken beat shuffler on Ubiquity from our old school techno hero John Beltran. At 33rpm a Sun-Ra drum loop is discovered / at 45rpm, who cares :). Jamie Jimpster offers a tougher remix on the b-side that takes a more traditional route to Hoxton Square.

Boomkat product review for: john matthias - The Insurance Man In which our hero singer/songwriter pitches three tunes against the maverick production genius that is Matthew Herbert. 'Moneybox' is a revised version culled from John's fantastic debut album 'Smalltown Shining'. 'Moneybox' is a rocking warm song, flying guitar, snappy drums, electronic flicks and John's best-friend vocal with some of the finest lyrics we've heard in a long time. Matthew 'Big Band' Herbert provides what review crew...

Boomkat product review for: john spring - Waterproof John Spring delivers his next release on Sub Static, a 3 tracker of pure club grooves, the main cut is ace club techno with tough 4/4 beats holding the rhythm, lush strings and warm synths accompanying the beats for an uplifting vibe. Also flip for some brilliant synth work on ‘Textillfrei’ which has a huge bass synth playing a distorted and classic line across heavy drums. Ace bits from John Spring.

Boomkat product review for: john arnold - We're Not Excellent broken beat with a bossa hardkick bass drop plus spacey sequences from Detroit based John Arnold. Having previous credits on Neil Ollivierra's Detroit Escalator Company projects plus adding the sauce to Recloose's mix shows he's no flash in the pan. Ayro of Omoa Records, Detroit fame gets all hypnotic on the beeside remix. A Moody-Theo tempoed track with deep synth rubs and a lick of soul. Very nice.

Boomkat product review for: matt john - Behind The Atoms EP Back in stock. The return of man of the moment, Matt John once again turns minimalism inside out with a swathe of warm cushioned layers and cryptic sounds - proper reduced hiccup funk across four tracks of pristine brilliance.

Boomkat product review for: metamatics and john foxx - Free Robot Rather than embark on a litigation fuelled skirmish over the name Metamatics, Lee Norris and John Foxx have decided to join forces, the result being this electro pickled hunk of vocodered magic. A country mile from Norris' recent work under the Nacht Plank moniker, 'Free Robot' sees the Metamatic man getting to work with his "all time hero" John Foxx, whose debut album was called... Metamatics. You still with us? Giving the nod...

Boomkat product review for: todd bodine - Life Signs EP (John Tejada Remix) After several releases on Cabinet, Mermaid and Season Records, Bodine squelches and bleeps through three DJ-friendly tracks of minimalistic, modern electro-fusion that, if you bend your ear enough, clearly express his close liaison to jazz and Nu-Jazz. Includes an ace John Tejada remix!

Boomkat product review for: kromestar - 007 Ships Monday! As unlikely as it seems this latest transmission from Kromestar's studio finds our man plundering John Barry's Bond theme for some good old-fashioned name-that-tune business. Can't say I've ever been too much of a fan of this sort of thing - but it's really hard to argue with a track that revolves around the sort of bassline on offer here. Ok, maybe I would have omitted the sounds of the Walther PPK doing its thing - but, hey, it's quite...

Boomkat product review for: gui boratto - Arquipelago A big bass-bin filling, dance-floor destroying track from brazils hottest techno export Gui Boratto. This new 12" for the neophyte Kompakt sublabel K2 is an excellent follow on from the druggy jacks of John Dahlback’s Hug project on the last K2 release. The B-side is less exhilarating but the A side has the power to fill the room with sound in a way that only kompakt releases do, subtle sounds building throughout with percussion to excite,...

Boomkat product review for: duplex - Autoload After their epic Rebuild ep from much earlier in the year, Duplex have clearly taken a cue or two from the stand out Fabrice Lig mix on that Ep. The title cut is an energetic dancefloor killer, a driving track to the Detroit model: very Transmat, almost no holds barred John Beltran as India and on "Aerosoul", reaching the undeniable emotional peaks and starburst sensations of Derrick himself. As a kind of bonus, "Silenced" takes us stealth style at...

Boomkat product review for: junior boys - Birthday There’s been a flurry of excitement surrounding the Junior Boys – one of those rare moments when the scene forgets about fashion or what it means to belong to one musical clique or another and, instead, brings everything together in a display of warmth, innovation and a love of remarkable tunes. The Junior Boys work around a notion that brims with simplicity, their love of vintage synthpop as produced by John Foxx and Visage offset by their immersion...

Boomkat product review for: efdemin - Bruxelles After some live and dj shows in and amongst the austrian and swiss minimal scenes and a remix for labelmate Pantha du Prince on Dial23), Efdemin is back with a new twelve. Efdemin aka Phillip Sollmann has progressed deeper into minimal music, from John Cage to La monte Young, via some significant ubercoolische Inspiration from the Hawtin school, and consequently his definition of techno speaks a unique language. You can see a proper span across these...

Joined by an all-star cast including Nels Cline, Alan Licht, John Medeski, Steve Shelley and Jim OʼRourke.

Boomkat product review for: 23hz & numaestro / atki2 - Galleon Dub / Douceur Spanish dubstep heads 23hZ + Numaestro and Bristolian dubber Atki 2 step in deep with the 'Substratum ep' for the youthling Immerse imprint. 23hZ roll out the Pinch styled 'Galleon dub' with a filigree attention to detail on the hi end atmospherics and neatcut hi hat/snare interplay carving out shapes above aquatic sub drops and Random Trio-smoked Arabian vibes. Atki 2 sweats out a Muslimgauze infected chest rattler on...

Boomkat product review for: Ø (mika vainio) - Ikuinen Back in stock. Your eyes are not deceiving you! What we have here is brand spanking new material from none other than Mika Vainio - otherwise known as one half of Pan Sonic or simply Ø. Recorded earlier this year, this is the first new material from the Ø project in a few years and is just as seismic as you'd hope. 'Ikuinen' is Vainio's take on synthesized moodiness, some kind of robotic Finnish exploration into the work of John Carpenter....

Boomkat product review for: disrupt - Jahtarian Dubbers Back in stock. If you've recovered from the all out bass attack from Disrupt on the recent Scotch bonnet 10", you'll probably be in a fit state for this ultra-heavyweight 4-tracker from Rootah, Disrupt, Blaze Dem and strangely enough, John Frum aka Type's Julien Neto. Frum heads up the A-side with a magnificent traditional variant on 'January dub', transferring his velveteen production touch from his Julien Neto persona into a dub doused...

Boomkat product review for: sugar minott - Jamming In The Street Out originally on the oft overlooked and underrated Black Roots label in 1983, this is warm, natural music-making from Lincoln Sugar Minott's "Informer" sessions, overflowing with joyful dancehall vibes. The rhythm follows Channel One's refinement of vintage Studio One riddims, one drop style and Sugar sounds more than comfortable on top. The able assistance and congenial presence of Deejay John Wayne reminds seasoned reggae fans...

Boomkat product review for: 13 and god (the notwist & themselves) - Men of Station Back in stock. This is the killer introduction to the indi supergroup made up of Themselves and The Notwist : aka Jeffrey 'Jel' Logan, Micha Acher, Adam 'Dose One' Drucker, Martin 'Console' Gretschmann, Markus Acher and Dax Pierson with guests including Valerie Trebeljahr of Lali Puna and Steffi Böhm of Ms. John Soda who guest on the sooncome album. 'Men Of Station' features lonesome piano, acoustic guitar and strings...

Boomkat product review for: various - Noodles Volume 5 More madcap malarky from the self proclaimed 'stoopidest recording company in the world ever'. 'Noodles 5' features tracks by head supremo Si Begg, Osymyso and more (mad names, star producers in drag). Check the cover version of Beach Boys song (Sloop John B) that would get Brian Wilson breakdancing on crutches. Elsewhere... you know the score... Vol 5 and the noodles show no signs yet of growing up, thank god. Ace.

Boomkat product review for: rod modell - Sacred Geometry Back in stock! Good to see Rod Modell back again on Echochord, in a week ripe with dub infected twelves. Echochord have chosen their template wisely and well, cleaving closely to the Chain Reaction modell of drive and dub showers. As a follow up to their more detroit based manoeuvres on Deepchord, it seemed the logical step. This is four tracks wide and all of them highly recommendable - 'Psychic attack' keeps things relatively chilled,...

Boomkat product review for: dolby anol - Tender Touch Production duo Dolby Anol (aka Graham Peel and John Baillie Jnr.) have previously appeared on the Tigerbass imprint with their Dolby & Gabbana EP. This, their second release for Back Yard Recordings launches into hi-gain digital disco mode, crammed with mushy, over-compressed edits and an overall sound that's comparable to Mr Oizo, Busy P and the like, whilst adding an extra dimension with a Grace Jones-y vocal.

Boomkat product review for: arnaud le texier & emmanuel ternois - The Almoravids EP The strongest release we've heard from 2020 Vision records this year comes courtesy of Arnaud Le Texier and his buddy Emmanuel Ternois with a fancy D'Julz remix on the flip. Texier and Ternois's original contributions 'Banzai' and 'Kemp Road' strike rich with Koze style latin-fired house and jazz-horns infected wrigglers rhythms kitted out with sumptuous subbass for the dancers, while D'Julz lets one off for the...

Boomkat product review for: jack sparrow - The Chase / The Fullest ft. Biggins Latest Tectonic twelve comes from Contagious and Earwax contributor Jack Sparow with two smart and deadly dubstep variants. 'The Chase' takes cues from Peverelist's Bristol rollidge stye with an undertow of technobass infected kicks and interlocking bongo loops set to dread dub atmospherics. The flipside eases up on the gloomy dread vibes with a swinging post-garage riddim riding warped bass and tightly kinked percussion...

Collecting seventeen unreleased exclusive instrumental John Morales edits of New York disco and soul classics.

Boomkat product review for: virus syndicate - The Wasted EP After 6 months locked in the Virus HQ studio lab, Virus Syndicate finally return with a fresh batch of highly infected vocal dirt bombs. WASTED first appeared on the "Work Related Illness" album but is here reworked by the full virus crew and is a homage to, you guessed it, getting truly and utterly wasted. Mark One's production is, as ever, the best thing about the syndicate - his oriental style beat reductions and huge underlying basslines...

Boomkat product review for: legowelt - Untitled Back in stock!! This is the second instalment of an intriguing new label project from the Clone crew records, centred around the STEIM studios in Amsterdam, home to almost all the important, classic analogue gear ever produced, where the mighty Legowelt added five more clauses to their persuasive, electrodisco manifesto. "Haunted ARP" hits that funked up John Carpenter vibe immediately, and boy those basslines sound fatter than ever. "ARP Groove...

Boomkat product review for: fay - DIN *Wow, we weren't expecting this - killer album fusing R&B with avant-garde techniques, massively tipped!* Shockingly ace art-pop LP fusing the funk of classic Timbaland with the compositional strategies of John Cage in a shining pop mind. Already beloved of No Fear Of Pop and XLR8R - and plenty more to come, we're sure - 'Din' is the solo debut of Fay Davis-Jeffers with mixing support from her Pit Er Pat bandmate (and hugely sought-after percussionist) Butchy...

Boomkat product review for: adam johnson - Malk EP Miami's hugely admired Merck imprint finally deliver the first release on their brand new offshoot label - Narita. Delving deeper into a tweaked twist on the classic 4/4 machinations of the motor city via a distinctly miami-tagged restructuring, you can expect some seriously deep and uncompromising upbeat tunes over the coming months from a label that will focus on the deeper end of the floor....but more of that later. For the meantime, the first...

Boomkat product review for: figurine - Impossible From the home of all that's shiny and happy Monika, the return of Figurine, known for their refreshing open display of retro-future electro-pop, let's go!!! This track from their forthcoming new album The Heartfelt is just that, fresh boy/girl vocals on the swings, ice cream's with ninety nines and a flake and a happy house pop kick. Mixes come from John Tejada in new surroundings, plush broken-beat techno and then Fingernail, who take it on all...
