REVIEW: “APOCALYPSE RAVE” by arkham sound
It seems like an incredibly long time ago that I reviewed the Complex Flashback EP from TMSV’s Perfect Records here on the blog. Since then the Dutch master has continued to push innovative dance music in the not-quite-but-almost-140-space, himself being responsible for last summer’s electro-breaks stormer “Bottle Pop” which saw play at literally every rave…

REVIEW: “AMAPIANO TO THE WORLD VOL. 2” by DJ Kwamzy
If you’ve spent any time listening to new dance music in the past few years then you are no doubt aware of the growing phenomenon represented by Amapiano.

REVIEW: “IN THE AFTERWORLD” by Om Unit & TM-404
I’ve been a fan of Om Unit for roughly 10 years, having probably my first major impression of his work via the now legendary Exit Records “Mosaic Vol. 2” compilation. His contribution to that particular work was a collaboration with Sam Binga called “Triffidz”. The track itself was an ominous and punishing halftime number which…

REVIEW: “PNPL021” by Binga & Bakey

REVIEW: “0860” by Fracture
This review was initially written (for the most part) during December of 2022, but given the nature of that season and other work piling up, finishing this review got left on the back burner. I’m finally circling back to it now. On November 18th of last year Charlie Fracture dropped “0860”; a living tribute to…
