Imagine yourself late at night passing by graffitied walls and abandoned buildings. Suddenly, you hear the muffled sound of a steady thump. You move closer to one of the buildings and peek inside to find hundreds of people thrashing about to the sounds of two guys on synths with wires

Not unlike some of their fellow DFA recording artists, it can be difficult to tell whether Factory Floor are essentially an elaborate in-joke. The group has declared that 25 25, their first album since the departure of founding member Dominic Butler, is an exercise in “ultra-minimalism”. Well it’s not as

When you think about great break-up albums, it tends to be soppy singer-songwriter stuff that springs immediately to mind. Dylan’s Blood On The Tracks. Bon Iver’s For Emma, Forever Ago. Every Adele album. BUT INSTRUMENTAL ELECTRONICA ARTISTS HAVE FEELINGS TOO, YOU KNOW?! Rival Consoles is the alias of London-based producer

If there’s one word that most accurately describes Jackmaster’s DJ antics, it would have to be ‘unpredictable’.

Jimmy Edgar and his record label Ultramajic have been working incredibly hard over the last couple of years to craft a decisive dance sound for themselves. Paired with Edgar’s background in graphic design, the label has also become a mainstay in discussions that involve particularly strong branding, and with it,

Summer is finally here, and Yuksek‘s EP Sweet Addiction was released in almost perfect coordination with the smoldering weather I’m currently facing in Los Angeles’ freak heatwave. The EP is a stunningly coordinated four-track project that will surely be playing at every rooftop pool party in the coming months, and

While James Ford and James Shaw haven’t released an EP since 2014, they’re gearing up for some serious releases this year with their personal imprint Delicacies. ‘Staring At This Handle/Sky On The Floor’ will be the first two tracks out of 8 upcoming releases the duo plan on having in
