Chris — Sat, 18 Nov 2023 18:05:50 +0000

Friend 1: “Why do you like this stuff [electronic dance music], it’s so repetitive, doesn’t it get boring?” Friend 2: “I like it because it’s repetitive” This is a paraphrased conversation that was recounted back to me not so long ago in a conversation [friend 2] had with a mutual friend of ours on generally listening to […]

Matthew Dear – Black City (Ghostly International, 2010)

Chris — Sun, 26 Aug 2018 17:13:21 +0000

Songs as much as anything are simply poems set to music; lyrics are like mini-novels, expressive thoughts articulated in words, carried by the vehicle of the sound. It’s easy to overlook the craft of songwriting, especially in the case of Dear whose productions rely on principally Electronic Dance styles to bear his writing. Infectiously groovy […]

Kane Ikin – Modern Pressure (Type, 2016)

Chris — Thu, 12 May 2016 16:08:33 +0000

Although we’re quickly descending into the Summer months and eschewing of dark, melancholic music listening that’s more befitting of Winter, sometimes records come along that pepper the light with a special kind of smokiness that demand attention.

Albums of the Decade: Murcof – Cosmos (Leaf, 2007)

Chris — Sat, 30 Apr 2016 16:50:50 +0000

The exploration of space within Ambient has a storied history that in many ways predates the genre itself thanks to Progressive Electronic and Krautrock experiments through the 70s, but it was only in the later developments of Dark Ambient that space was really given its brooding, fear-laden and menacing side. Yet for all the crushing […]

Burial – Rival Dealer (2013, EP)

Chris — Fri, 13 Dec 2013 16:35:16 +0000

Where do I even start? It’s been some time since exploring Burial’s catalogue; Untrue has never been a favourite album of mine and I’ve been previously underwhelmed by some of his other EPs, but it would appear that something has finally clicked into place with his latest effort from the famous Hyperdub label in Rival Dealer.
