Frocks
Modula
Frocks (P Scott mix)
Review: XDB makes a welcome return to Sistrum with Frocks, a 12" offering that demonstrates quirkier side to the Greek producer's palette than Espac, his 2008 debut for Patrice Scott's label. Lead track "Frocks" commences with some wonderfully angelic chords and unintelligible vocals before veering into a hypnotic tunnel of droning bleeps that touches on infinity before those chords re-emerge in unison with some rigid claps. Just as your senses become adjusted to this about turn into dancefloor territory, XDB elects to end the track in all too abrupt fashion. On the flip "Modula" opts for a more stripped back approach, with some insidious acid licks dominating proceedings whilst Patrice Scott adopts a reflective mood himself on a seductive remix of the title track.

Analog XTC
Analog XTC (Sascha Dive Deep Echo Vibration dub)
Review: Norm Talley of late has traded his housey sound for a dub techno sonic, and joins fellow Detroit house-head Rick Wade in contributing to the German Minimood Extra imprint (sub-label to Minimood). His Analog XTC EP is reminiscent of something Fachwerk might produce, with steely-tinged dub chords, junky percussion clatters and a clipped vocal sculpted in a Dehnert style. Sascha Dive supplies a Deep Echo Vibration dub, which rolls in grungy perpetual motion, fathoming deeper by the bar into spacious and sunken sub-sonics.

Blueberry Pill
Review: With some highly sought after 12"s languishing in the past and a solid 13 year gap between releases, its high time Neil 'Nail' Tolliday got back in the swing of things and served up some fresh goods. Airdrop were wise enough to get on the case (along with the recent Fear Of Flying release) and so you have six completely fresh jams from the kind of deep house producer who makes the genre interesting. From the brooding, almost krautrock tones of "Bulldogz" to the spacious and dizzying "Tripped", via bleary-eyed Detroit flavoured house freakiness and uplifting bump, there's a lot to get excited about on this jam-packed 12". Welcome back Nail, you timed it well.

Another Earth
Discochord
Lost City
Review: ** TALE OF US REPRESS ** Richie Hawtin's label has long been associated with the minimal sound, but this release frees itself from that sound. The title track is stripped back, but it serves up a new take on classic electro thanks to its shuffling 808s and woozy, reflective synths. Tale of Us returns to a more conventional approach on "Discochord" but they still avoid hiccupping mnml sounds and the squelchy acid line is accompanied by atmospheric synths. Finally, "Lost City" is more grimy and nocturnal, but again the menacing 808s and reflective synths make it sound a million miles away from the label's trademark sound.

Unseen
Letter Box
Review: Following on from Ali Nasser's excellent foray into curious corners of tech house, Pleasure Zone bring Hozoc into the mix with a similarly twitching and shimmering take on minimal constructions. Across the two tracks, mysterious trickles of melody, disembodied chords and quirks and wobbles dart around the mix while the drums stay sleek and intrictate. The melodies are more prominent on "Unseen", making it perhaps the more accessible of the two tracks, but still a haunting mood pervades the tune. "Letter Box" meanwhile brings the rhythm to the fore and lets the micro samples do the rest of the work, harking back to the glory days of minimal techno like it ain't no thang.

Autiste Redding
Subhouse
Review: Having previously collaborated with the likes of Masomenos, it's no surprise to find that French producer Vadim Svoboda is enamoured with the quirkier end of minimal music, and so he fits right in on Seuil's Eklo imprint. "15" keeps the vibe dry and sparse, with slender percussion and only the barest of melodic elements in a decidedly abstract vein, while "Autiste Redding" lets a processed vocal hiccup sneak in to the mix while the rest of the framework remains concise and methodical. "Subhouse" is where things get cheekier, getting a more discernable groove on and firing off a more playful spread of samples, without overdoing it of course.

Moda (High Fashion pop mix)
Moda (Underground Fashion house mix)
Obsessions (Plastic mix)
Relationship (original mix)
Review: Tevo Howard's Tyrez moniker first debuted on Steffi's Dolly imprint as a way of showing the darker, more passionate sides of dance underneath the umbrella of Chicago house, and here he returns as Tyrez for another four tracks on his own label. The A-side features two mixes of "Moda"; the "High Fashion pop mix" is the kind of masterful key-drenched vintage house we've come to expect from the producer, while the "Underground Fashion house mix" opts for a more raw approach. The flip sees a turn into deep and hypnotic 2am techno territory, featuring "Obsessions (Plastic mix)" with its twisting, pulsing bass and syncopated beats, and "Relationship" with its stacked analogue arpeggios and defined 4/4 pulse.

Tantakatan (Mr G Nightwatch dub)
Tantakatan (Prins Thomas Diskomiks)
Review: Rekids signal a change in focus after the raft of Nina Kraviz related remix releases and instead turn to a classic from the archives of label boss Matt 'Radioslave' Edwards for a pair of fresh remixes. It would be hard to find two more diverse remixers than Mr G and Prins Thomas, but both turn in superb reworks of the 2008 Radioslave bumper "Tantakatan". Mr G calls shotgun and his self styled Nighttime Dub is a wonderfully dirty analogue groover that takes Edwards' original production into notably darker territory with those deep dubby chord stabs overshadowed by rumbling bass. Naturally Prins Thomas takes a different approach, implementing an acoustic guitar to replay the stabs and using live drums for a loose, laid back groove. There's a notable dose of reverb and delay used throughout that lend this Diskomiks a real druggy feel.

Do This?
Playerz
G Beatz 20
Review: Always a man with an unstoppable flow of music coming out, Mr G is at it once again on his own Phoenix G imprint with another three slices of no-nonsense club tracks. "Do This?" is a minimal affair, keeping the drums submerged and letting a plastic keyboard line take centre stage, but things are much more tangible on "Playerz" which pumps with purpose on a solid beat track whilst playing a chord and a bass synth off each other, leaving ample room for the nagging vocal loop. "G Beatz 20" presents a more balanced argument, hitting on a more overtly house tone with a catchy riff, cheeky claps and a good old fashioned "come on!" sample. Built with understated poise and primed for the DJs, you can never go wrong with a Mr G 12".
