    Loxy & Resound – Burning Shadows

    Dec 13 2011
    Filed In: Chatter, Reviews & Clips

    It’s been a long time coming but Loxy and Resound’s debut album “Burning Shadows” has finally arrived on dbridge’s Exit imprint and it’s a ragga infused tech drum’n’bass belter. The album’s 13 tracks feature eerie sci-fi style atmospheric soundscapes with plenty of menacing dub bass and sparse d’n’b percussion. I’ve been listening to this a [...]

    The Orb – Little Fluffy Clouds

    Sep 24 2010
    Filed In: Chatter, Classics

    This week’s classic is “Little Fluffy Clouds”, taken from the The Orb’s seminal album “The Orb’s Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld” released in 1991. Using various samples (the most recognisable being the electric guitar from Steve Reich’s excellent composition “Electric Counterpoint”, and the harmonica sample taken from Ennio Morricone’s “The Man With The Harmonica”) it mixes [...]

    Craggz & Parallel – Turn The Page

    Sep 18 2010
    Filed In: Chatter, Reviews & Clips

    Due for release on the 20th of September on their own Product label, “Turn The Page” marks Craggz & Parallel’s return to the drum’n’bass scene after a two year hiatus – and it’s a sonic ear opener. Combining analogue synths & drums, with techno sub-bass and d’n’b rhythms, it’s clear it’s going to turn a [...]

    Aphex Twin – Xtal

    Sep 10 2010
    Filed In: Chatter, Classics

    My turn again for the Friday Classic, and I’ve chosen the opening track from Aphex Twin’s brilliant debut release “Selected Ambient Works 85–92“. Released in 1992, to critical acclaim at the time, it has been hailed by Warp Records as being “both the birthplace and the benchmark of modern electronic music”. Compared to some of [...]

    Sunday Roast – Best of the Rest

    Sep 05 2010
    Filed In: Chatter, Reviews & Clips

    If you’ve been following the previous Sunday Roast recipe ideas you’ll have been listening to some cracking music while consuming a lot of meat. Just to mix things up a bit, for a change, here’s a wee “roasted pancetta wrapped fish with salad” recipe to try out. This is best served with some of the [...]

    Luke Abbott – Holkham Drones

    Sep 02 2010
    Filed In: Chatter, Reviews & Clips

    I’ve got to admit it’s been a wee while since I last heard a debut release as good as this one. Luke Abbott’s “Holkham Drones” is a sublime listening experience. From the opening track “2nd 5th Heavy” to closing number “Dumb” it combines ambient with droney IDM, soundtrack with techno beats. Released last week on [...]

    The Phuturelabs Inbox recently received an email from Global Goon (aka Johnny Hawk) with some sneak previews of his upcoming album “Earwhig“. With tracks ranging from disco inspired acid, downtempo ambience to electro house funk it’s an eclectic acidy mash up of styles, and his first release for over two years. With previous releases on [...]

    Aug 21 2010
    Filed In: Chatter, Reviews & Clips

    Belfast – Orbital

    Aug 06 2010
    Filed In: Chatter, Classics

    Dating from 1991, Orbital’s “Belfast” stands out for me as being an absolute classic in electronic music terms. Featuring an ethereal vocal sample taken from Hildegard von Bingen’s “O Euchari in leta via“, the track falls somewhere between downtempo house & chillout anthem. The soundtrack to many a weekend for me & countless people over [...]

    Surprise your friends, amuse your enemies, start the party with a bang! Let’s face it- if you’re going to get a roast on it might as well be the meatiest of meaty roasts- and that can mean only one thing- The “Bacon Meat Explosion“. While you wait for this badboy to cook in the oven [...]
