Organic Analogue Vinyl & CDs

Review: The ever-impressive Organic Analogue returns with another crucial excursion into seductive hardware jams from the deeper end of the electronic gene pool. Marvis Dee is an alias for Dutch electro champ Jeremiah R, and finds the promising upstart on impeccable form. There's something seedy in the air on killer opening jam "Alpha", while "Dipper" makes no bones about its classic, Drexciya-informed electro intentions. "I Can See It In My Dreams" is a wistful trip into Chicago house territory, which Orgue Electronique dutifully remixes in his warm, effervescent manner. With "Intervention" and "Cygnus" taking a deeper direction it's a record with depth to match the other excellent releases on OA, and one of the strongest sleeve designs we've seen in some time.

Review: Organic Analogue makes it to double figures with a sublime new split EP from HVL and Gacha Bakradze. The A-side is opened up with 'Infinitesimal', a stripped back and icy bit of minimal dub techno, then 'AgneffC01' gets more rhythmically physical with scattered beats and hits and 'Collective Genius' is tense, kinetic techno with a real sense of paranoia. 'Routes' is the first B-side joint with Gacha Bakradze bringing some direct but economical drum machine grooves under meticulous percussion and then 'Chain' layers smeared cosmic pads with twitchy details and 'Widow' ends with a heavy heart. No wonder, then, that a host of eminent DJs like Ben UFO are all over it.

Review: Last seen entering The 5th Dimension on an highly limited CDr album for Wil-Ru Records, the shadowy Rotterdam-based figure known as Jeremiah R inaugurates the new London label Organic Analogue Records in fine style with The New Wave EP. For fans of that classic Detroit electro style, it's pretty hard to find a fault with anything about this record; Jeremiah R's original productions are rife with that full bodied yet celestial feel that all good electro contains, whilst the main Gerald Donald is present in Heinrich Mu?ller form for an excellent remix. Furthermore the 12" comes housed in some superlative Hand screen-printed front & back cover from Benedetta Sodini, the illustrator responsible for those killer Apron Records sleeves.

Review: With their DJ Guy release creeping onto all the right radars, Organic Analogue continue their mission to represent the most vital movements within the world of fuzzy machine funk. This time they've turned their attention to MNLTH, also known as Rephlex recording artist Dave Monolith (also responsible for the excellent Photodementia series). Laser 80 is packed full of soul stirring electro styles, from the haunting lilt of "Q Express" to the upbeat piano rave splashes on "Ziberterai". This is truly advanced stuff for anyone who loves a bit of braindance.
