ALAN DIXON Vinyl & CDs

Review: Keinemusik have made a shocking wave on the international minimal house and techno scene. Two of its core members and executive officers, Adam Port and Alan Dixon, here present a brand new collab single: 'Forms Of Love' is so emotive that its piano, drums, strings and synth flourishes register deep in the gut, the sonic equivalent of a deep bacteria detox. Recalling the slow mournful builds of Rising Sun blended with the of live drumwork Harvey Sutherland or Mim Suleiman, the track is surely our next set-closer go-to.

Review: DJ Tennis's Life And Death label has always done its own thing and served up its own sounds from across the spectrum. This new drop from Alan Dixon offers some of its rave-iest and most peak time sounds yet. 'Take A Trip' is an all out 90s workout with frazzled and thumping drums overlaid with prickly percussion, epic pads and lashings of acid lines. Once that one has worked you into a proper old school sweat, then flip it over for the Ambient version which is somehow almost as intense but less propulsive.
