It’s all gone a bit wrong out there in the real world. So here are five to soothe the soul…

I’ve collected most of Allen Saei’s records since the 90s because the music is always first class machine made soul.

Rough, raw and to this day still work a dancefloor over better than most 12″s.

Here are five Aubrey had a hand in & a recent remix of him that are all timeless late night jams…

I’ve been working in Manchester for the last couple of months and had a morning off, so jumped on the bus to King Bee records. It’s a lovely little shop and a great way to spend an hour. Just as I was leaving I also spotted on the wall of 45’s, The Electric Chairs – So Many Ways (not on this list) produced by the mighty David Cunningham, which I wrote about before. It’s not a record you see that often so had to scoop it as well.

Both Mr Black and I agree on this duo as go to room wreckers.

If you didn’t already love these two cowbots, here are five reasons why you really should…

Something to ease you into 2019…and a couple of instrumental bangers from the main man.

At the tail end of last year and as we head into another, Deewee are still proving why they are one of the best labels on the planet right now and with no signs of slowing down.

Here are 4 of their most recent offerings + a killer dub, outlining why we are probably most excited for their 2019 release schedule.

Five Bone…

Every year can be a great one for music of you care to dig, there is so much of a back log to wade through now from second hand to bandcamp and the relentless flow of new music.Below are five I loved in 2018!

Mind blowing future pop music from one half of Factory Floor! On repeat at home, in the car, festival and club sets this year.

Love this incredible album from head to toe, a proper headphone trip that was on repeat a lot, even soundtracking a few relaxing baths.

Phil has been on fire, from that killer DJ Hell remix to this percussive club workout and blissed out ambient tracks.

I’ve hammered so much of his music this past year, that I can’t wait to hear his output for 2019.

Hands down my fav club cut, this never failed to raise a cheer anywhere I played it all year. Deceptively simple and deadly!

Another essential body of work you really should check, then own is Neville Watson’s Midnight Orchard long player. A proper sonic masterpiece that was reminding me of Kenny Larkin’s great albums. A modern classic!

Some people tear up the rule book and do their own thing!

In the sea of soundalike, polished and italo infested modern electronics of the past few years, Whities have really stood out as a label forging new ground to me.

Below are five WR belters that I like to play a lot…

Stuart Leath seems to have all the good records. Thankfully he’s of the giving kind and seems to spend a huge amount of his time and energy re-issuing them – beautifully – on his various ‘Emotional’ labels.

5 below that caught my ears. Dig in!

There’s something about the German approach to electronics, that when executed to perfection appear precise and minimal yet in contrast sonically huge and like a wall of sound in a club environment! Someone who I often return to for those timeless right time, right place tracks is Aksel Schaufler aka Superpitcher.

Below are five with the super power…
