Album of the Day

Perverelist - Jarvik Mindstate

(2009 / Punch Drunk)
dubstep / dub / minimal

Jarvik Mindstate—named after Robert Jarvik, the inventor of the artificial heart, a self-contained, integrated pneumatic unit—conceptually fuses man with machine, theorising Tom Ford's interplay with synthesis structurally, as he forges forward, humanising the computer's array of voices and timbres. Those familiar with Ford, AKA Peverelist, and his work will no doubt have already noted his pristine command of space, his hankering for the bass heavy feel of dub music and his habit of drawing out melodic evolutions for eons; and it is undoubtedly these factors that make this collection of songs so potent.

Album of the Day

Reso - Temjin EP

(2009 / Civil Music)
dubstep / electronic / bass

Reso’s third release for Civil Music, Temjin EP, is 6 tracks across 2 slabs of musical genius that simultaneously moves a whole spectrum of electronic genres forward while further cementing his place as the overlord of hi-tech dubstep. On Temjin wobble, hypercrunk, breaks, wonky, hip-hop and D n B all receive the treatment. Reso’s deep musicality, incredible skill, intricate programming and wildly diverse references place him at the peak of a new breed of electronic producers. (civilmusic.com)

Album of the Day

Lone - Ecstasy & Friends

(2009 / Werk Discs)
ambient / electronic / instrumental

After making waves with his 'Lemurian' long player and more recent tracks for Gilles Peterson's Brownswood Bubblers comp, Lone aka Matt Cutler delivers an album of lush woozy electro-hop prog with a soul-melted centre for Werk Discs. Lone blends Boards Of Canada styled 'lectronic nostalgia and Flying Lotus style funk-impressions, causing folks like Warp's Bibio to swoon "...he has a personality in his music that's vivid", with many favourable comparisons to everyone from Dilla to Madlib in respected corners of the music press.
