Ace dubwise techno.

Fifty-six fearless forays deep into the consecrated crates.
ALC does what he does best, with Roc Marciano rocking the pulpit; Budgie wheels back to the UK scene, dazzlingly rallying Knucks, Novelist, JayaHadADream, Joe James, Ragz Originale, Natanya, Qendresa, and full crew.
The CD version is resplendently dressed like a Bible, with foil debossing, the full monty. The cassette artwork debuts Gospexploitation. Lovely stuff. Click through for more images.

End of days rations. Meekly wait and murmur not and ye shall miss it, and there shall be a gnashing of teeth.

The sublime 2001 swansong of James Stinson, of Drexciya. ‘By turns luminous and melancholic, low-key and sensuous, wry and soulful’ (Pitchfork).

Sam Kidel from Young Echo opens proceedings with a beautifully rolling, pastoral re-arrangement of the melodies of South East Of The Mountain, keeping a watchful eye on the original, dread b-line. Then some chilled ragga from O$VMV$M, versioning Skeletal. Finally Helm takes the helm, with a startling re-animation of Bloom, brilliantly tipping the registers of Music For Airports on their side.

This is why Robert Hood is such a don.
‘A pinnacle of Detroit techno. Best-known for the lip-biting minimalism of One Circle, with its chant ‘Detroit’ and body-rocking riff-mongery, or maybe for the killer variation Explain The Style… but for us the EP’s shortest and freakiest number Modern And Ancient steals the show; a mad, half-stepping slice of Afro-futurist electro that still blows our mind today.’

The first Premature is by Thomas Boutwood, from South London. Veolia is hazy, nervously minimalist synth hypnosis; Droid is a knees-up, industrial-techno frightener.

A fizzing, ranging showcase of six different Italian artists, in the third of this series.
A breakbeat symphony by Modes; swingeing Acid from Train To Eltanin; hybrid footwork by DJ Plant Texture. Nothus makes a belated series debut with some fiercely bottled d&b; Marco Segato is wildly live and direct; Soreab pounds together grime and rather grumpy samba.
Clear vinyl snazzily presented with a transparent matt graphic insert, in a plastic sleeve.
A tonic for the troops.
