Review: Guy Andrews is one of those artists who is always in a state of flux. Never shy to reinvent himself or to try his hand at new genres, he has produced abrasive levels of bass music for respected labels such as Hotflush, Hemlock Recordings, and now Fabric's killer Houndstooth stable. Our Spaces is as lean, mean and hazardous as all of his previous releases, except that Andrews has the space to explore here, to develop his steely strains of percussion into more daring and explorative rhythms that often verge on the cinematic. The majority of the work, however, is made up of penetrating club grooves that has the propensity to blow speakers out, and knock down just about anything that stands in front of them. If you're a fan of gear on Hessle Audio, than this should not go amiss.

Review: As the Houndstooth roster becomes increasingly diversified with age, so Call Super remains the label's brightest star. Responsible for inaugurating the Fabric-housed operation, J R Seaton has subsequently gone on to deliver some of their best 12" offerings and the time feels right for the Berlin-based producer to show his hand at full length albums. In contrast to the techno-focused approach of his Call Super 12"s, Suzi Ecto finds Seaton expanding on his palette with 11 tracks that veer wonderfully between moments of electronic poignancy and more thrusting fare. Spend some time with Suzi Ecto and you'll find it to be one of this year's most rewarding listens with new favourites emerging with each cycle - "Raindance" is the current fave here at Juno HQ.

Review: Those in the know know that Abul Mogard is a false identity. Whoever the entity behind Mogard is, we now know that Mogard has teamed up with CoH (Ivan Pavlov) following a chance meeting between the pair at a Slovenian festival in 2019. These two titans of drone-ambient now see the fruits of their labour unleashed to the private: gigadrones such as 'Find And Hold' are stratospheric joys, droning on and on through ambiences that change ever so subtly over time - these aren't just loops.

Review: We live in a vastly different world to the one Aisha Devi presented her last album to. The critically acclaimed DNA Feelings was a dark, ethereal, world-making record, the kind of thing that lures you deeper into incredibly original soundscapes that feel born from theatre as much as rave culture. Five years on, the follow up Death Is Home arrives and picks up where its predecessor left off, opening on the menacing, tense and eerie 'Not Defined By The Visible'. Release information puts this as her most personal record to date, and while we'll have to take that as gospel it's certainly - and remarkably - even more explorative than ever. Tracks like 'Unborn Yet Alive' marry weird choral, twisted art rock, euphoric electronica, and more. 'Lick Your Wounds' is a synthesised opera looking for a new Terminator movie (and hopefully a good one), while 'Azoth Eyes' leaves us in completely unfamiliar territory, closing out with impact that's hard to compare.

Review: Djrum (Felix Manuel) presents his latest full album in six years, in what has been described as a "literal creative rebirth". Beginning in earnest in the 2020 COVID lockdown, this a record whose creation treads a path of almost archetypal infamy: all the best electronica albums, in our view, are born of hard-drive losses. And Djrum's hard-drive meltdown, of course, seemed to correspond to a literal collapse and renewal; such ostensible catastrophes are painful at first, but they tend to breed re-incarnal transformations. Reflecting in the shaking disaster-piece stutters of 'Three Foxes Chasing Each Other' to the ambi-spatially adept 'A Tune For Us', the record spans prodigious instrumentality and electronica abstractions, verging on speedcore, jazz and techno-halftime in places. From vinyl DJ to reckoner of hardcore musicianship.

Review: Houndstooth has come a very long way since it launched as the nightclub fabric's sister label aimed at less up front electronic tones. Over the years, it has widened its remit, meaning the roster now includes artists so far removed from where the imprint originally came from you'd struggle to believe the back story, establishing itself among the most varied and exploratory UK labels today.
Enter US experimental artist Katie Gately to prove our point. Fawn is a trip, to say the least. Themed around childhood and what comes next, it audibly reflects the tantrums, the wonder, the rebellion, and the growth that we endure from those earliest years through to teenagehood. And it does this through noisy art rock and avant-garde pop. A real creative triumph everyone should hear.

Loom (limited transparent yellow vinyl LP + MP3 download code)
Cat: HTH 121SP. Rel: 14 Feb 20
Experimental/Electronic
Review: Katie Gately's second album "Loom" is a very different beast to its predecessor, 2016 debut full-length "Color". Deeply personal and recorded during her mother's ultimately unsuccessful battle against a rare form of cancer, it sees Gately reflect on grief and loss in a surprisingly confident and musically alluring manner. The assembled tracks make extensive use of both densely layered vocal textures and her own distinctive lead vocals, elements which she mixed with ear-catching melodies, woozy electronics and beats that were crafted in part from recordings she made of Californian earthquakes. You'd expect it to be tonally dark given the subject matter, but it's actually far more bold, beguiling and melodic, drawing just as much influence from more pastoral styles of music as Gately's usual experimental electronics and intricate sound design.

Review: Fabric's offshoot label, Houndstooth, has reached the dizzy heights of a century of releases. Fittingly, they're marking the occasion with a new album from Marquis Hawkes, which is also his first since hyped 2016 debut full-length Social Housing. It's an attractive and punchy affair full of good-time grooves, joyous house workouts, bumpin', Chicago-influenced fare and the kind of luscious, loved-up, garage-influenced deep house goodness that sounds like aural sunshine. While there are a couple of woozier downtempo moments, for the most part it's a deliciously floor-friendly affair, with Hawkes serving up seriously listenable cuts that work both at home and in the club. We actually think it's better than Social Housing, and that was pretty darn tasty.

Review: Such has been the rise of Marquis Hawkes in recent times that this debut album must mark as one of the most anticipated house sets of 2016. Happily, Social Housing is a superb showcase not only for Hawkes' talents, but also his understanding of house music in its' many myriad forms. The album does include, of course, a sprinkling of jackin' workouts, but these are outnumbered by such thrilling chunks of loved-up positivity as the Tiger & Woods style loop funk of "Fantasy", the Theo Parrish-ish jazz fuzziness of "Summer Memory", and the cheeky, Todd Edwards style cut-up garage of "Something In Yr Head" [sic]. The album's most potent moment, though, is "I'm So Glad", a collaboration with Jocelyn Brown that already ranks among 2016's most potent tunes.

Review: Despite being one of the UK's most prolific electronic musicians, Jacob Martin AKA Hodge has never released a solo album. "Shadows In Blue" is therefore one of the most hotly anticipated debut full-lengths for some time. Appearing just under a decade after his first single, the set expands on his sub-heavy, club-centric blends of techno and bass and showcases a producer at the peak of his powers. There are a number of speaker-busting dancefloor workouts - see "Sense Inversion", the tropical techno creepiness of "Lanes" and the Lone-ish stomp of "Ghost of Akina (Rainbow Edition)" - but the most striking thing about the album is Martin's promotion of pastoral sounds, blissful melodies, picturesque new age soundscapes and trumpet-laden, dubbed-out ambient jazz (see closing cut "One Last Dance").

Review: Switching stance from his bass-weighted mutant stepping as King Cannibal, Dylan Richards is now developing his own murky foray into 4/4 steeped in dread-filled atmospherics and plush sound design under the House Of Black Lanterns banner. With smatterings of electro and footwork, a M_nus-styled economy of arrangements and a spread of vocal turns from Leni Ward, Rudi Zygadlo and Juakali, Kill The Lights is operating on many levels while weaving its own gothic vision of what pop-inflected dance music can reach for in 2013. There's no doubt that Richards has succeeded in realising his vision for a beyond-the-grave listening experience that can still be accessible to a range of listeners.

And We Are Passing Through Silently (heavyweight vinyl 2xLP)
Cat: HTH 108. Rel: 15 Mar 19
Ambient/Drone
Review: Although Abul Mogard has made some stunning albums over the years, in recent times it's his reworks that have been celebrated most. It's perhaps for that reason that Houndstooth has decided to offer up this retrospective of the shadowy artist's most admired remixes. The most notable inclusion is the producer's previously unheard revision of Becoming Animal's "The Sky Is Ever Falling", a stunning, stretched-out soundscape that re-imagines the song as a heart-aching ambient epic. It's almost as good as Mogard's jaw-dropping interpretation of Fovea Hex's "We Dream All The Dark Away", whose fragile folk vocals, ever-intensifying modular synthesizer cycles and layered electronic drones deliver a stunning climax to an impeccable collection of inspired ambient soundscapes.

Review: Since bursting onto the scene via a series of bustling, bass-heavy and dancefloor-focused 12" singles at the turn of the decade, Pariah (AKA late developer Arthur Cayzar) has been surprisingly quiet. It turns out he was ridden with angst about the music he was making and unsure of which direction to take. As this long-awaited - and, we should add, rather brilliant - debut album proves, he's final found inner peace. "Here From Where We Are" is, first and foremost, a home listening album. It contains gentle, evocative and slowly shifting electronic soundscapes that largely look towards ambient, neo-classical, drone and dub techno for inspiration. There's no speaker-busting sub-bass explosions or riotous peak-time rhythms, just becalmed and stunningly beautiful compositions that are in turns spellbinding, melancholic and hugely poignant.

Review: After moving on from his Al Tourettes alias and stepping into a new guise for his time with Houndstooth, Second Storey is now delivering his debut long player, and it's a devastating artistic statement that should firmly position him amongst the most daring bassweight producers out there. With the spirit of aqueous electro running through its veins, a techno forward-thrust and some truly psychedelic ideas about track progression and sound effects, a wondrous sound world is crafted with levels of detail that would make Amon Tobin quiver. From the saucer-eyed vision of "Shaman Champagne" to the epic saga of "The Overview Effects (Parts 1 & 2)" this is an album of staggering scope and fearsome invention.

A Small Murmuration (heavyweight vinyl gatefold LP + booklet)
Cat: HTH 006. Rel: 12 Jul 13
Balearic/Downtempo
Review: Branching the sound of Houndstooth out ever further, Throwing Snow man-on-a-mission Ross Tones joins forces with bewitching vocalist Augustus Ghost, otherwise known as Hannah Cartwright, to deliver this fully realised album project of twilight-pitched electronic folk. Snow Ghosts is a project enthralled with the darker side of English folk music, feeding on Tones' predilection for live instrumentation and intricate, delicate beats but centred around Ghost's plaintive delivery. In a similar world of bleak pop to The XX, A Small Murmuration rarely lifts its head above gothic introspection, but submerges itself as such with a regal finesse that brings out the best from both artists.

Review: Under the Special Request alias, Paul Woolford has released some stellar music this year. Astonishingly, "Offworld" is his third album of 2019; it could well be the best, too. It explores different sonic territory too, drawing heavily on electro, futurist Detroit techno, Boards of Canada style IDM and the slick 1980s productions of Jam and Lewis. The result is a stunningly beautiful, spacey and far-sighted set that contains some of Woolford's most emotion-rich work to date - and that's saying something. It also finishes in stunning style with an impeccable remix/re-make of the Grid's "Floatation" that sounds like the best early 90s Orb remix you've never heard.

Review: Paul Woolford has spent a good chunk of his downtime over the last year or two making Special Request tracks in his pants. So much so, in fact, that he's created enough material to fill four albums, all of which will be released this year. "Vortex" is the first and is, in Woolford's own words, high on "bangers" and low on "conceptual guff". In practice, that means lots of gut-busting low-end frequencies, trippy analogue electronics, razor-sharp rave-style riffs and bustling rhythms that variously touch on electro, early '90s progressive house, breakbeat hardcore, slamming Joey Beltram style techno (see album highlight "Fahrenheit 451") and metallic, delightfully mangled drum and bass ("Fett", whose wonky electronic undulations hark back to early Woolford classic "Erotic Discourse").

Review: Paul Woolford's second album under the Special Request alias is a very different beast to its predecessor, 2013's Soul Music. While that was little less than a strobe-fired romp through Woolford's early, rave-era influences, Belief System is an altogether more complex and considered affair. Stretched to 23 tracks over two action-packed discs, the album took three years to produce, contains a number of modular hardware explorations, and features elements of tracks recorded by Woolford as far back as 1993. The sheer breadth and depth of the material is, at times, staggering, as the veteran Leeds producer giddily mixes and matches elements of electro, techno, cinematic soundtracks, hardcore, acid, jungle and experimental electronica. In a word: stunning.

Review: Having built up to this release through his recent work on Houndstooth, Ross Tones now finally offers up his debut solo album, magnifying the cinematic qualities in his music across 50 minutes of singular electronica. The instrumentation throughout Mosaic provides the soul to the record, from haunting string strikes to wild samples of exotic sources, while the electronic elements come on in balanced tones, neatly defined and arranged so as to make for a snug fit. There are plenty of arresting vocal moments from bewitching vocalists including Addah Kaleh on the pivotal cut "The Tempest", but it's Tones' incredibly detailed vision that makes this an unmissable album.

Review: Throwing Snow (Ross Tones) returns for yet another sublime full-length of expansive dance landscapery, Isthmus. Titularly riffing off the name for a conjoining spit of land connecting two larger landmasses, we're instantly met with transitional and developmental moods, ones which still do not fail to hold back from indulging all manner of looming sonic gargantuans; synethic, spectrum-straddling wringings-out. The album also marks a refreshingly, increasingly experimental direction for the artist; once you get past the expository Shepard tones and all-seeing sense-frying twinges of 'Ribboning', you're then met with a suite of full-blown dance-truncators and crossrythmic blissouts, with 'The Madness Of The Bull' recalling a cyborg Nyabinghi drum circle and 'Apricity' moving more post-punk come noisy hellscape. Of course, the album errs further in the direction of Throwing Snow's patented style of post-dubstep sample-dance towards its latter half, with 'Ephemeral' cadencing on a Bonobo-esque chimer and 'Hear The Tongue Fork' seguing from apocalyptic gast to heart-in-mouth amazement.
