Review: We cannot get enough of Washington, DC-based label Peoples Potential Unlimited. It deals in a particular brand of lo-fi funk and disco with a hit of the leftfield about it. This time out they unearth some lost recordings from Landyhill (Timex Social Club) Bay Area funk. It has the rude girl vocals of Jamie Vallo over crunchy beats, squeaking synth motifs and raw drum work. Word on the street is more demos have been found from the same era and are to be unveiled soon, but this previously unreleased jam is a great starter.

Review: This first ep on Utch Elektronics is signed by Helsinki producer Samuli Kemppi and is titled Huuto pimeassa, which in Finnish means (Shout in the dark). This Utch Records sub-label focuses on the most experimental stream of electronic music. The sound of pure electronics, also called idm, where styles such as ambient, drone, cold wave, easy listening, downtempo or noise are generally seen together.
