A Review: Frank's 2016

Release: Skee Mask – Shred 08 (Illian Tape) Arguably the best album of 2016, Skee Mask’s “Shred” exemplified the anonymous producer’s ability to fuse heavy clubbier beats with more ambient styles. From this album, “Shred 08” has to be the pick of the bunch. Intrepid breaks form the backbone of… Read More »A Review: Frank's 2016

A Review: Ben's 2016

Release: Tessela – Up Up is a track that I heard kind of sporadically throughout the summer in 2016, with the likes of Ben UFO and Jackmaster both dropping it throughout June and July.

Release: Doppelate – Bobo’s Garden Based upon the number of views of the official video on Youtube (1,350 views as of 31st December), Bobo’s Garden has slipped under the radar in the sphere of electronic music this year. Perhaps this is partly to do with the “non-danceable” nature of the track.… Read More »A Review: Kish's 2016

A Review: Jambo's 2016

Release: Pangaea – One by One Another Hessle Audio release, another instant classic. In my opinion any track off of Pangaea’s debut album would be worthy of track of the year. One by One, my choice, meshes a beautiful sample, with harsh cascading drums, dark minor chords played by a… Read More »A Review: Jambo's 2016
