Kai Von Glasow - Unkind [Mild Pitch]

Here we go with another varied EP that would work in a slew of mixes. The first track, Quit Quiting has a Dub Techno vibe with some very interesting textures coming off the reverberated samples. The lead cut, Unknind has an unhinged Dubstep quality, not to mention to the ever popular vocal stabs. Then the curve comes in place of the third track, Oh Boy, poppy indie vibe with some twinkling keys and guitar strums. Quite the debut, I'd say.

Conforce - 24 [Clone Basement Series]

Wicked new release from Conforce on the ever reliable Clone Basement Series. The whole EP sits squarely in the Techno/House arena while my fav being the Gesloten Cirkel remix of 24 with Be There At Night trailing very close behind. The former is little more on laid back house tip with a heavy kick. While the latter is a bit faster and could be used in a variety of sets from Techno to the more Bass heavy Garage/Techno kicking around a lot lately.

Krystal Klear - We're Wrong [All City]

The nostalgia is strong with this one. Love the 90's piano and cut up vocal vibes going on. Highly recommended.

Romare - Meditations On Afrocentrism [Blackacre]

This is one of those not easily categorized EPs, which is all the better for it too. Lots of spoken samples, great drum programming, killer bass and wicked synths; it’s all here. The Blues (It Began In Africa) is my fav here but they all worth a listen. Pure class.

Loose Ties Marching to Spring Chart

Lots of cool stuff bouncing around at the moment. Here are some highlights of what has caught my ear. Enjoy!

Ka§par - Ode To The Ancients [Groovement]

It's been some time since we've seen a Ka§par release and this one doesn't disappoint. Top track on here is the remix Carlos Nilmmns but there is something about it that reminds me of an older track. It's that percolating bass and smooth chord sound; for life of me, I can't think of it.
