Review: EVA808 has used this new album to launch her own new label Gleb and a fine statement it is too across four sides of gatefold clear vinyl to "represent the ice that inspires" the music. The artist born Eva Johannsdottir hails from Iceland and has a signature sound that she hopes conveys a story of "being different." The album is rich and cinematic in design with bass driven low ends and dark, boorish synth moods up top. It's cold yet warm, icy yet inviting and comes after many years of Johannsdottir being a key part of the drum & bass underground having first started outpacing grime and dubstep in 2011.

Review: The Next Wave Acid Punx compilation series is proving to be a vital source of nicely seedy, sinewy electronics from bygone eras and the modern day alike. Commissioned by Eskimo, Berlin-based artist Curses enlists his expansive knowledge to gather together vast volumes of music from EBM, minimal wave, industrial and elsewhere, and then the accompanying physical releases sift through the data to present various chapters. This third wedge of the second compilation features modern provocateurs like Autumns, Silent Servant and Nuovo Testamento, remixed by Curses himself.

Review: When Eskimo first invited New York-born, Berlin-based Curses to compile Next Wave Acid Punx, they might not have known what they were letting themselves in for. As we reach part Deux, there's no doubt they signed up to sift through a staggering volume of EBM, industrial, minimal wave and electro from the darker side of the dancefloor. Taking in 49 tracks in total, this authoritative collection spreads across three CDs and features old legends like Throbbing Gristle alongside newer wave sonic deviants like The Hacker, with so much more ground covered in between. Consider this monumental compilation a homing beacon for all creatures of the night.
