Review: French illustrator, producer and owner of Astral Soda Records Albino offers up his second full-length album, Bamboo Night, following up his self-released 2016 album Santa Barbara. Returning to WRWTFWW for the second time now, Bamboo Night reflects something of a more dance-centric revolution in Albino's sound, but still brings his penchant for patented tape hues and ghostly exotics to the fore as ever. These tracks are just as suited for floor play as they are for home eso-chillaxing, fusing whispery dancehall flavours with dark jazz, Chicago deep house, and trembly international flavours.

Review: Detroit mainstay John Beltran is back to present Sol Set having already impressed with their Ola de Novo album. This summery and soul-drenched outing opens with the florid flutes and shimmering rhythms of 'Through Fire' before a wonderful cover of Sade's 'War of the Hearts' with Taylor Taylor on vocals brings tropical percussive delights. South African house vocalist Earl Green brings expressive soul style to the feel good 'Love Revolution' while closer 'Maragogi' taps into an authentic Brazilian sound with feather drums and subtle samba shuffle.

Light As Before (hand-numbered 7" limited to 250 copies)
Cat: HWS 002. Rel: 20 Jun 25
Review: Phil Mison, long revered for his chill-out sets and Balearic sensibility as a DJ, not to mention over two dozen releases under his belt, returns as Cantoma with a new single that perfectly captures the spirit of sunset listening. 'Light As Before' is a gentle and evocative piece built on Latin percussion, breezy guitar work and a standout horn section that lifts the track into a golden-hour daydream. It's the kind of track that feels tailor-made for a coastal terrace, a glass in hand and nowhere to be but the present. The B-side remix is a tasteful reimagining that dials down the horns and replaces them with soft flutes and delicate acoustic textures. This version leans deeper into the groove with a more introspective yet still melodic mood. It trades some of the exuberance for warmth and depth, making it an ideal complement to the original. Both sides highlight Mison's continued mastery of Balearic downtempo.

Review: Canadian artist Caribou's much-adored album 'Our Love' hears a reissue, harkening back to a time still occupying vaguely recent memory in which festival summers from the mid-to-late 2010s were dominated by Dan Snaith's band-backed productions and innocent croons. Explosive at the time of its release, hits such as 'Can't Do Without U', 'All I Ever Need' and 'Dive' are now veritably etched into the public consciousness, and it all comes down to Snaith's spelt-out use of soul vocal samples and cleverly warm house production.

Review: Some four years after Swims brought the work of Dan Snaith to the attention of a whole new audience, the London-based Canadian artist returns with a sixth Caribou album entitled Our Love. Staunch followers of Caribou will know that Snaith tends to adopt different sonic approaches with every long player (compare the psychedelia of Up In Flames with the more spaced out Andorra) but this latest album feels like a natural development of the club influenced sounds of Swims. City Slang call it Snaith's most soulful set yet, and that's certainly helped by the presence of compatriot Jessy Lanza, and like all Caribou albums there is something new that appeals with every listen.

Review: Given that even their most dancefloor-focused tunes are remarkably deep, immersive and sonically detailed, you'd think that Chaos In The CBD's music would suit the album format - it's just that until now, they've not recorded a full-length. A Deeper Life, then, marks a big step forward in the Helliker-Hales brothers' career. Predictably, it's borderline brilliant. Made with the assistance of a cast of collaborators and guest performers (flautist Nathan Haines, boogie revivalist Saucy Lady and original NJ garage-house hero Josh Milan included), it sees the Kiwi duo sashay their way through enveloping, musically expansive cuts - many downtempo and home-listening focused - that variously mix and match elements of deep house, nu-jazz, dub, 80s soul, hip-hop, trip-hop, Latin soul and much more besides. A genuine triumph, even by their high standards.

Review: After a decade of swirling deep house and understated jazz flourishes, London duo Chaos In The CBD finally drop their debut full-length, A Deeper Life, via their own In Dust We Trust imprint. The 14-tracker stretches their signature dee,p cocktail party effected house palette into new terrain: live instrumentation, vocal guests, and a mellow, tactile depth, now owing as much to 90s Balearic as it does to smoky London basements. Lead single 'Love Language', with Nathan Haines on sax, strikes an effortless tone: wistful, warm, and unhurried. Guests include Josh Milan, Lee Pearson Jr., Novelist and Stephanie Cooke, but the LP is less about marquee names than a slow, wide glow: sun-kissed nostalgia cut with club heft. It no less channels their New Zealand roots (idyllic beaches, waterfalls, quiet mornings) into a drifting house sound, playful and dour in equal parts.

Pablo COLOR feat LIZA CARREY
Le Reve (7" + postcard limited to 300 copies)
Cat: ISH 0614510. Rel: 12 Jun 25
Review: Now six EPs deep into his catalogue, this artist continues to refine a signature Balearic sound that evokes sun-drenched beaches and late summer evenings. The standout track here is 'Le Reve', a lush and hypnotic piece that channels the spirit of Cafe del Mar's golden era. It opens with warm pads and a dreamy melodic flow that gently washes over the listener. The highlight, though, is the vocal performance from Liza Carrey. Her voice is breathy, sultry and haunting, weaving through the track with a gentle intensity that perfectly complements the mood. For the remix, Swiss producer Lexx steps in and subtly transforms the original into something even more relaxed. A laid-back Latin rhythm with soft percussive flourishes and beachside warmth, turning the track into a slow-burning coastal cruiser. It is a perfect blend of downtempo charm and balearic soul, maintaining the emotional tone of the original while adding a fresh rhythmic touch. A serene and seductive journey.

Review: South African producer Cool Affair returns with a fluid, genre-slipping cut that glides between broken beat, downtempo and deep house. 'Motoric Patterns' pulses gently with smoky keys and layered vocal harmonies, locking into a low-slung, hypnotic rhythm that feels simultaneously meditative and sensual. It's a subtle burner, rooted in groove but elevated by harmonic detail. On the flip, broken beat originator Kaidi Tatham delivers a fizzing rework-fractured drums, jazz-funk flourishes and a brightened vocal hook that pulls the track toward the dancefloor without sacrificing its soulful core. Where the original stretches inward, Tatham's remix reaches outwards with sparkle and flair. A seamless pairing of two artists who understand restraint, rhythm, and the soft power of a beautifully voiced chord.

Review: More than four decades after he first appeared in smudged eyeliner and a mop of jet-black hair, Robert Smith is still finding new ways to pull his music apart and stitch it back together. This new remix collection i assembled and curated by Smith himself i feels less like a victory lap and more like a restless dissection of a legacy he's still actively shaping. The collaborators here are hardly incidental: Four Tet, Orbital, Ame, Chino Moreno, Mura Masa, Trentemoller, Mogwai. It reads like a list built by someone still hungrily tuned into the present, not stuck in the past. And true to form, the results are all over the place i a feature, not a flaw. Some tracks lean into grandeur: Paul Oakenfold's take on 'I Can Never Say Goodbye' opens with all the sweeping melodrama you'd expect, while Daybreakers stretch 'WarSong' into widescreen synthwork. Elsewhere, Shanti Celeste and Ex-Easter Island Head bring a strange intimacy to 'Alone', teasing out its ache with a different kind of spaciousness. At times, you wonder if Smith enjoys seeing how far his work can be bent before it breaks. But it never does i even filtered through others' hands, his sense of tension, drama and deep emotional unease holds everything together.

Review: Hell Yeah Records sets a super tone for 2024 with a captivating new album from Australian producer Dawn Again. Every Dog's Hotel presents a dreamy, breaks-infused journey into what Dawn Again calls "pubwave." Drawing from his decade-long experience and releases on labels like Houseworx and Enjoyment Division, Melbourne-based Nick Verwey crafts a sunlit, sunset-ready sound perfect for grown-up crowds. Inspired during lockdown by nostalgic downtempo vibes from the 90s and 00s, Verwey aimed to recreate the communal drinking atmosphere of his favorite pubs. The result is a lush, Balearic "pubwave" album, complemented by a charming cover painting by artist Holly Hunt, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in lavish, escapist downtempo sounds.

Review: Piscolabis II continues the sonic journey of its predecessor, Piscolabis I, by blending organic and robotic elements with Golden Bug's signature experimental style. The ten new tracks on this volume are even more adventurous and offer heavy rhythms with razor-sharp guitars from Lionel and distorted grooves driven by drum machines. Opener 'Paradis' is an epic choral track that sets the tone for the slow, raw, and hypnotic sounds that follow. Highlights include 'Red Wolf' featuring Phoebe Coco, the stiff rhythmic mechanics of 'Ricochet' and the psychedelic 'Hi No Tori' with Japanese guest Vega Voga. This is an album rich in sensory sounds that leave you listening in awe.

Review: Clarinet and synclavier collide on The Universe Will Take Care Of You, an expansive arp odyssey through freeform new age trance sequences and orgastic blooms. British producerJames Holden and clarinetist Waclaw Zimpel's take joint reins, but they swap roles with uninformed confidence, with Holden adventurously stepping into violin and hand percussion away from his usual synth spell cantations, and Zimpel moving beyond reeds to electric ivories. Vast biennales of trance extend like ravenous, roided plants, suggesting an overcurrent of carnivorousness in all that bliss. Moroccan Gnawa and Indian classical music fed the album's electroacoustic pedigree, producing the seemingly effortless fusional glut of sound you hear before you.

Review: With Il Est Vilaine and his newest EP 'Kool Menthol', Dialect Recordings continue to offer their own brand of sophisticated neuro-mantic cyberpunk electro and French synthwave. Penning a neat audio-dialogue, corresponded between the five-point body that is France and the spitted isle that is Japan, 'Kool Menthol' brings a smattering collision of ideas together into a single four-track swoop. Like the pfft of a well-stubbed cigarette dashed by a replicant protagonist over a modernist balcony, Vilaine brings both uptempo boxout disco and downtemporal ease-up chug to a future nighttime aesthetic. The cultural references don't stop there either, with 'Quetzacoatl' riffing off audio-connotations of the ancient Aztec god.

Review: Lyon musicologists Macadam Mambo allow The Jaffa Kid ampler extra space to flex their experimental side. Though prior releases by the artist have verged fuller in the direction of jungly, 'A Teq Approach' hears the artist abstract and remould their breaks and ambiances to delicious degree, mechanising but breathing new life into an otherwise mostly single-tempo approach. Off the back of an almost daily production output on Soundcloud comes this 12-track album, where gestalt breaks are heat-set, cast into all tempos; 'A Calm Momentum' recalls the best of Skee Mask after his move away from techno proper, while 'Different Text' brings a hermeneutic otherness, interpreting constellated skies of detuned arp-bliss and hoovering, soundscaped lows. A choice selection for fans of of AFX, ERP, Drexciya, u-Ziq or Luke Slater.

Review: Kartell's debut album Everything Is Here melds French electronic accessibility with r&b and disco grooves while also drawing on prog rock's esoteric elements and introspective psychedelia. Nostalgic yet forward-looking, it expands on his EPs with dream pop aesthetics and the futuristic allure of the 60s and 70s. Space rock's nebulous textures and ethereal sounds permeate throughout as tracks are anchored by minor-key grooves. The dense, cinematic production weaves a vivid tapestry, integrating live bass, drums, and guitars amid hazy effects and synths to leave you lost in sound.

Review: Veteran Swiss born producer Kay Zee (Patrick Hollenstein) and the EP The Whole Shebang is released on Zurich based label Phantom Island. If you are looking for unique electronic music, then look no further than this little slice of wax that is limited to 20 copies. We really like the unique sound in 'Le Reve' with the experimental rhythm that combines dub and electro into a odd but slamming frenzy. Not to be outdone is the quirky electro of 'Strange Side Effects' or the catchy downtempo strangeness that is 'Inglisch'. 'Razor Sharp Boogie' covers the entire B-side with a cool, retro sounding jam. All and all, you have a very special 12" that sounds unlike anything out there. In this day in age, that is very special indeed.

Review: Originally released in 1993, this vivid snapshot of Moby's first steps into the electronic world is now faithfully reissued for a new generation, capturing the raw energy and creativity of his formative rave years in the early 90s underground scene. The collection notably includes the original version of 'Go', the Twin Peaks-sampling track that would later become a global anthem in remixed form. 'Voodoo Child' is as an undeniable rave classic, pulsing with an infectious drive that still commands dancefloors. Deep cuts like 'Drug Fits the Face' and the ambient 'Mobility' reveal Moby's range i from techno's sweaty peaks to its more introspective valleys. Tracks such as 'Permanent Green', 'Barracuda' and 'UHF3' dive deeper into darker, edgier sounds that remain highly influential in today's techno evolution. The production feels raw yet full of vision, reflecting a time when rave music was still unpolished and thrillingly experimental. Early Underground isn't just a nostalgia trip; it's a crucial document of electronic history. For anyone curious about Moby's roots or the gritty, euphoric spirit of early 90s rave culture, there's no better place to start.

This hand-numbered 45 features 'Bakeren' which in vocal form was a big hit with Gilles Peterson and Craig Charles amongst others. On the flip is a version of Bergen Sunrays', here renamed 'Rory's Sunrays', and featuring some great organ work from London-based musician Rory More.

Review: Muslimgauze's Intifaxa has previously only been released on CD and is one of a series of four double albums on the cult Australian label Extreme Music. It's another sublime example of the late experimental artist's ability to blend electronic beats and Middle Eastern influences into a unique fusion of sound that is part underground house and part psychedelic trance music. Released posthumously, the album transports listeners into a world of hypnotic rhythms, intricate percussion, and haunting melodies. The tracks are awash with modulated field recordings and tribal grooves that make for a transcendental and immersive listen all while showcasing Muslimgauze's vision and innovative approach to production.

Review: Snorkel Records returns with a new missive by Norwegian producer Olefonken. "Ulla," meaning "wool" in Norwegian, is an apt metaphor for this cosy yet intricate release-each track spun from dusty textures, warm synths and gently off-kilter grooves. True to its title, the record offers a familiar softness, but don't be fooled: subtle sonic shifts and clever details keep things fresh and unpredictable. Olefonken crafts a sound that feels handwoven on the lithe Balearic and dub disco joint 'Samme Gamle Ulla', the En Sjuskete reprise is a live sounding dub, the Hr Gum alternative Mik is more housey and the Hr Gum original is a heart-swelling sound with retro 80s chords work.

Review: Pacific Coliseum returns with another citadel's vault's worth of dance tunes in LP form, building on the artist's already subdued but imaginative post-vapor house sound. Characteristically warm and real, yet also fitting of unreal, 3D-rendered environments should you so choose, Coliseum's sound is sanitary but still burst-out expressive, having been built around the mantra, "let go of what you're feeling," as is heard in the song 'Understanding'. Let the waves crash over you, as the perfect future garage of 'City Living', with Ruf Dug, goes on to meet the 909 toms and lipid wave-catching organs of 'Fresh Air', to name a few standouts.

Review: Switzerland's Palace Pasador step out from behind the Fuga Ronto curtain with a dreamy, groove-heavy debut of their own i a tightly wound suite of dub pop vignettes laced with synth shimmer and slow-motion charm. It's a brand new release that pulls from cosmic lounge, vintage dub and leftfield synth-pop, stitched together with just the right amount of space-dusted mystery. 'Footprint Affair' sets the tone with crooning vocals, squelchy bass and starry-eyed synths, while 'Looking For Clovers' rides a gentle shuffle that feels like a love letter to hope itself. 'Fizzy Spells' and 'Susanna's Side Eyes' are lighter, winking affairs, full of charm and earworm melodies. On the flip, dub versions stretch things further into the clouds i 'Alpha Nightsky (Bonus Dub)' in particular is a highlight, all woozy delays and submerged euphoria. It's the kind of record that feels both featherlight and deeply intentional i oddball but intimate, escapist but grounded. Fans of Music From Memory, Not Not Fun, or any sun-bleached Balearic B-sides will find plenty to fall for here. A quietly confident arrival from an act clearly in no rush, and all the better for it.

Review: Recorded in a single weekend, 'Yagana' is a choice afro-disco and synth collab from Margate 5-piece Pigeon. With the band drunkenly forming after a pub session, it's got Guinean singer Falle Nioke heading up frontman duties, while Graham Godfrey on drums, Steve Pringle on keys, Tom Dream on guitar and Josh Ludlow on bass take up phat instrumental space. The result is a cosmic space jam and call into a cold universe, facing eternity with a friendly, synthy, and even grungy sonic greeting: "it's been a while".

Review: By 2005, this series solidified Stephane Pompougnac's role as the maître d' of cosmopolitan lounge culture. Curating the chic ambience of the iconic Parisian venue into disc form, Pompougnac once again blended downtempo, deep house and nu-jazz with effortless finesse. This volume, now reissued on vinyl for the first time since its original release, remains a prime example of turn-of-the-century sophistication in sound. The type of music for velvet interiors, slow cocktails and stylish retreats from the world. The tracklist is an expertly balanced affair. From Mark Farina's 'Dream Machine' to Parov Stelar's smoky electro-swing 'Kisskiss', the selections drift seamlessly between seductive grooves and breezy rhythms. Michael Mayer's minimal yet sensual 'Lovefood' and Soulstice's lush Fila Brazillia remix of 'Wind' add tasteful depth, while Pompougnac's own 'Last Night' is an organ-laced, quirky detour. Zuco 103's 'Love Is Queen Omega' enlists dub legend Lee "Scratch" Perry for a track rich with brass and riddim. Meanwhile, Ralph Myerz and The Jack Herren Band's sly, funk-laden take on Donald Byrd's 'Think Twice' reveals its source material only as the vocal lands. Throughout, Vol. 8 cultivates a soulful, urbane mood that speaks to both jet-setting lounge enthusiasts and deep crate diggers alike. It's a soundtrack where deep house meets jazz and subtle rhythms feel equally suited to a luxury rooftop or twilight drive. This reissue is a gem not just for nostalgia but for timeless listening.

Review: French house DJ and record producer Stephane Pompougnac adds another tranche of slick, DJ-able downtempo to the Hotel Costes series, which has carried on strong on Wagram Music since 1999. The lounge compilation series is named after the Paris hotel in which Pompougnac first cut his teeth, and this sixth edition was released way back in 2017, albeit with a different front cover (though swapping the exact image out, Pompougnac has kept consistent in his penchant for featuring nubile young feminine visages on his front covers). 'The Brazilian Hipster' and 'Work That Body' kick off this edits comp with a fiery steeze-before-sleaze, emphasising slung downtempos and unbuckled grooves.

Review: Helping define the sound of luxury lounge music in the late 90s and 2000s, Stephane Pompougnac's Hotel Costes series merged downtempo, house, and chillout music with blase sophistication. Synonymysing his sound with the Paris venue's opulent yet intimate atmosphere, the Place Vendome adjacent venue proved a hit for its chic bar-lounge a and stylish international crowd, offering an indulgent escape into dimly lit, decorous elegance. Arresting and pinning the historic tail on the works of such artists as Thievery Corporation and Gatan Project, the series, started in 1999, was instrumental for the apres-coup recognition of a sound. Highlights on the ninth edition including the minimal swing hop of 'One' and the brass-led dub derelictions of 'Con Mi Sombra'.

Review: While Hell Yeah! Recordings may be best-known these days for exploring the relaxed, sun-kissed world of Balearic beats, the Italian label's early releases were far bolder and more focused on peak-time dancefloors. They're back on that tip on this must-check 12", which comes courtesy of label regular Quiroga (AKA long-serving producer Walter de Vecchio). In its original form (A1), 'Once Again' is a prize chunk of mind-mangling, post acid house sleaze - all rambunctious, brain-melting acid bass, sweat-soaked drums, ultra-psychedelic TB-03 lines and breathless vocal samples. It comes accompanied by two contrasting remixes - the pitched-down, slow acid-with-pianos sunshine of the 'Ambient Mix' and DMX Krew's funky acid-electro pass - and the star-fall electric/nu-disco/acid fusion of the quirky 'Freak The Funk'.
