Max Richter – Infra
New material from Max Richter is always greeted with open arms here and “Infra” may prove to be his best work yet. The album began as the score to a ballet, written back in November 2008, now extended and given life as a full album project. From the opening tracks radio fuzz (which plays a [...]
Tricky – Aftermath
As some of the Phuturelabs collective will be knee deep in T in the Park madness this weekend, I thought I’d dig out a Tricky favourite for today’s Friday classic. The man himself will be playing live in the Slam Tent on Sunday and this one’s sure to appear in the set. After departing from [...]
The Sabres of Paradise – Smokebelch II (Beatless mix)
Andrew Weatherall, Jag Koonzer and Gary Burns AKA The Sabres of Paradise unleashed this ultimate morning after tune in 93 on their debut album “Sabresonic”, and despite releasing two more albums and a whole host of amazing singles and remixes, for me, this tune will forever be remembered as their finest moment. Absolutely beautiful stuff. [...]

Midmir – Step Into A Dream
The state of Texas in the US has long been associated with cowboys, deserts, and oil. However, for me at least, it’s now associated with outputting excellent downtempo IDM electronica music. My last post featured Fur (residing in Denton, Tx)- this post is about Midmir…..hailing from Houston, Tx. “Step Into A Dream” is the debut [...]

He was recently featured on Pitchfork and XXJFG amongst others- all with glowing reviews. [...]
