Review: Athenian producer Aggelos Baltas gets conceptually deep on his latest album, Earth, as Anatolian Weapons. It is one, he says, that captures a sense of hope for our future that grows from the "sweet bitterness of the present and the past." It is another fantastically polyrhythmic work of percussive ingenuity and authentic Greek folk fusions that unfurls with all the hypnotism of a prime kraut record. There are psychedelic elements, hints of prog-rock, plenty of ancient dancing traditions and future-facing electronics all seamlessly woven together into an album of otherworldly and cinematic moods and grooves.

Review: Ethimm has asked some of his old friends and most cherished peers to remix his recent By Night Ep and the results are serious. The ever popular writer, DJ, producer and Tuning Back label boss Gerd Jansen goes first and flips 'Lies' into a deep and driving house cut with subtle melodies layered over the top. Balearic boss Lexx then does a wholesale deconstruction with his version and the Belia Winnewisser remix gets all tropical with its steamy jungle sounds and reverberating drums and bass. On the flip side, three versions of 'Don't Go Away' take in acid, dream house and real deepness.
