D Bridge – Dim Light
D Bridge and his Exit imprint never fail to impress and this, the 22nd release on the label, is once again another slice of beautifully atmospheric electronica. Taking a fairly simple old skool-esque electro backbone and draping it in ethereal synths, pads and sounds, this is D Bridge at his very best, shaking off the [...]

The Hacker – Haunted
It’s been a while since we’ve covered any electro here on the Labs and who better to bring us back into the fold than The Hacker. “The Haunted” is a lovely slice of old skool-esque electro, driven along by punchy 808 percussion, some tasty floaty pads and a plonky headnodder of a bassline.

Morphology – Trioptimum
Finland’s Morphology duo dropped this lovely chunk of old skool style acid electro at the start of October on Abstract Forms, it’s available on limited edition vinyl with hand stamped paper insert. Harking back to the glory days of acid with stripped back minimal drums and spacey atmospherics, this is a cracking release.
