By his previously prolific standards, Ewan Smith has been fairly quiet of late, with 2020 seeing the release of just one EP as Youandewan. Yet as Thyme Capsules, his first EP for Butter Side Up, proves, he's currently making some of his strongest material to date. It's a bold assertion, but one we'd argue is backed up by 'Beyond My Ken', a bouncy and chunky slab of tech-house marked out by cute melodies, oddball electronics and a memobrable bassline, and the busier and more psychedelic title track, whose steel pan style melodies of off-key electronic interludes catch the ear. Elsewhere, 'Scissor Juice' is funky, spacey and groovy in equal measure, while Art Freyman hook-up 'Slow Down' sees him expertly pitch down a late '90s UK tech-house style groove.

It has been 11 years since Solomun's last album, and few could have predicted the career arc he has enjoyed since. The big man started out as an underground favourite. His Diynamic label was famous for bringing colour back to dance music after the bleak minimal years. He made 'fairground tech house' as it was called. He then became a huge draw at Ibiza's premium VIP clubs and appeared in Grand Theft Auto. This album takes him to major label Sony and features Hollywood names like Jamie Foxx. It is melodic, accessible house from one of electronic music's most famous names.

Altered Tapes / Dj Platurn - The Break Down (Eazy Goes To Memphis)
7"
$16.15
Chicago's Altered Tapes crew offer up their own unique take on a West Coast gangster rap classic with the A-side of this one on US label Heat Rock. It's the label's seventh outing and places focus on Memphis soul and funk territory. 'The Break Down' is a big, horn led jam with funk beats and crisp rhythms. Reverse this limited 7" to find Oakland's own DJ Platurn. He smashes out a drum heavy, break-heavy edit that pays homage to a cut and paste great. It's funky, filled with vocal samples and mad keys and packs real heat.
Loscil - Clara
CD
$16.15
Scott Morgan's latest immersive ambient deep dive as Loscil has its origins in a three-minute composition performed by a 22-piece orchestra from Budapest. Morgan pressed this recording to vinyl, then scratched and sampled it within an inch of its life. Each of these samples was then used (and abused) in a variety of ways, before being shaped into a suite of brand-new tracks. The process certainly worked, because Clara is simply superb: a collection of alternately melancholic, gently uplifting and becalmed soundscapes whose simmering orchestral origins are only noticeable if you know the back story. It's a stunning set all told and a genuinely involving and immersive ambient excursion.

Like a lot of ambient and experimental electronic producers, Albert Brokent AKA Lingua Lustra tends towards the prolific. In fact, Concentric, his second full-length excursion for ROHS (his first dropped in 2017), is the 33rd album he's released since making his debut in 2005. While many of those sets explored the more academic side of ambient music, Concentric delights in its musical joviality, with Brokent's usual immersive chords and synthetic aural textures being joined by bubbly electronic melodies, Boards of Canada style beats, and musical motifs that tend towards the picturesque and sunkissed. As a result, it's one of his most enjoyable and exuberant sets to date.

In recent years, Andrea Porcu has been responsible for some of the most immersive, slowly unfurling ambient music around - much of it inspired by a combination of much-needed musical escapism and a desire to create music that would aid self-meditation. New Values, his latest longform piece, arrives with little or no explanation, other than a simple sentence about "listening to the essence of fading light". Beginning with the dull tones of tape hiss and a distant electric piano, the 46-minute piece quietly builds in waves, introducing long, lingering chords and drifting electronic motifs to accompany Porcu's fluid, slow-motion keys. It feels like lazy, languid music for similarly stunning, drawn-out sunsets, with all the warmth and comfort of a soft-touch blanket. In a word: stunning.

Detroit's Todd Modes is one half of the Cosmic Handshakes duo but he goes it alone for this fine four tracker on Going Good. His brand of house is an expansive one that looks to the cosmos for inspiration. 'Serpent' is richly percussive, with sci-fi motifs and nebulous pads drifting over a groove that has a fine funk bass riff underlining it. Gentle sax sounds and spiritual chords make 'Rain Rituals' a real classic and 'Time Layers' builds tempting disco loops, low slung bass and hip swinging claps into a subtle party starter. Closer 'Shedding Skin' is steamy late night deep house with real meaning.

Lowwaxx - Brittle EP
12"
$11.74
Since making his debut five years ago, Carlos 'Lowwaxx' Sanchez has largely specialised in joint releases. In fact, this outing on his own Endless Rotation label appears to be his first solo vinyl release. In its original form (side A), 'Brittle' is a languid, rolling, ultra-deep slab of tech-house in which watery chords, gaseous motifs and acid-style electronics envelop a crunchy groove. It's rather good, though we can see Paolo Rocco's accompanying 'Vibey Dub', which boasts far heavier bass and drums as well as a more forthright feel, getting far more peak time plays. We'd also suggest checking bonus cut 'Glide', a sub-heavy slab of glitchy, druggy minimalism that sounds perfectly suited to dark rooms in the early hours of the morning.
