Artist Name: Nicolas JaarTitle Name: Time for Us EPLabel: Wolf & Lamb/Clown & SunsetReviewed by: Rory O’Maley I’m not one to go weak at the knees, but over the last year, I’ve developed a mighty admiration for the unique style and choice productions flowing from Nicolas Jaar. Having descended so far down this particularly abyss, it’s taken me a while to decide which release […]

A review by Rory O’Maley.

Swim from Dan Snaith aka ‘Caribou’ is truly an experimental electronic masterpiece. For anyone who hasn’t had a listen, it’s time to take that plunge and read Rory O’Maley’s review.

Artist Name: Lee CurtissTitle Name: Lunatic FringeLabel: VisionquestReviewed by: Rory O’Maley There’s something about the combination of electronic music and smut that just works. Don’t get me wrong, the dulcet tones of LMFAO shit me as much as the next person, but when a track with a smooth bassline and filthy premise starts rolling across the speakers, you’d be hard pressed not to […]

Artist Name: No Regular PlayTitle Name: Fall Up To The SkyLabel: Supplement Facts RecordsReviewed by: Rory O’Maley This week’s selection is a great release from Brooklyn duo No Regular Play.  The three track Fall Up To The Sky release balances lo-fi, deep and blippy house to deliver a huge range of sound within a small space. ‘Fall Up To The Sky’, the EP’s lead featuring […]

Artist Name: ProxyTitle Name: Shut Up!Label: Turbo RecordingsReviewed by: Rory O’Maley If you’re unfamiliar with Proxy, prepare to have your ears torn forcibly from your head in a brutal wave of electro fury. No exaggerations here, I’m not an aggressive person but Proxy’s screaming production and flat out nasty hooks will grab you, shake you up and refuse to let you go until you […]

Artist Name: KolomboTitle Name: My Own Business EPLabel: 2DIY4Reviewed by: Rory O’Maley If you’ve listened to a widely distributed DJ mix in the last couple of weeks, chances are you’ve found yourself bobbing to Kolombo‘s latest banger, “My Own Business“. The title track of the latest EP from 2DIY4, “My Own Business” has been tearing its way through turntables worldwide with its modulated hip-hop […]

Artist Name: Daniel AveryTitle Name: Need Electric EPLabel: Phantasy SoundReviewed by: Rory O’Maley This week we’ve got a little goody for all the tech heads and oddity lovers out there. Daniel Avery, the man behind Stopmakingme, has been flexing his creative muscle to bring you the trippy, ambient, warehouse weirdness that is his Need Electric EP. The title track of the four track EP […]

Artist Name: TrentemøllerTitle Name: The Trentemøller ChroniclesLabel: Audiomatique RecordingsReviewed by: Rory O’Maley If you’re a fan of production (and if you’re a fan of electronic music, you probably are), it really is criminal to go past Trentemøller. Now moving away from the techno prodigy label he was immediately stamped with, the Danish producer continually shows an understanding of structure and harmony […]

It’s time for some more big, deep house tracks to hit your speakers, this time coming to you care of UK lads PBR Streetgang.

Artist Name: Dog BloodTitle Name: Next Order/Middle FingerLabel: Boysnoize Records/ OWSLA Reviewed by: Rory O’Maley I hope this doesn’t rub anyone the wrong way, but I am the complete opposite of a fan of the whole Skrillex movement. I understand its purpose and kinda its appeal but I still can’t see it as anything but a scattered and tacky way to carry big tunes. With […]

Artist Name: Little DragonTitle Name: Ritual UnionLabel: Peacefrog RecordsReviewed by: Rory O’Maley   I know it’s a bit more band-y than the music we usually focus on but like so many others, I’ve completely fallen for the soft, bleepy charms of Little Dragon. With three studio albums since 2007 all holding relevance and a new single tantalising fans as it does the radio rounds, […]

Artist Name: Todd TerjeTitle Name: It’s The Arps EPLabel: Small Town SupersoundReviewed by: Rory O’Maley If you haven’t yet had your mind blown by Todd Terje then you are in for a treat today. Funky, bouncy, glitchy and with a crazy ability to build, Todd Terje creates grooves that ooze over the scene and grab hold of the mood no matter the time […]

Artist Name: Anja Schneider feat. KikiTitle Name: Little CreaturesLabel: MobileeReviewed by: Rory O’Maley There’s nothing quite like a simple bassline, pounding kick and booming voice to get a crowd moving. “Little Creatures”, the latest offering from Mobilee head Anja Schneider, looks to do just that with a simple, measured production. The syncopated beats and bass coupled with Kiki’s booming post-house vocal will either drive […]

Artist Name: EmikaTitle Name: EmikaLabel: Ninja TuneReviewed by: Rory O’Maley If you measure music by its ability to pull the audience into an artist’s world, then Emika’s self titled debut is a must for your listen list. Straight from the dark heart of Berlin, the stony faced Czech paints a startlingly intimate portrait, the type of intimacy that both excites and makes you […]
