Cover Me…..
Weathering release their new single Chimera next month. Whilst it is not yet available for streaming the flip side, which is a cover of Depeche Mode’s Blue Dress is. I am not that familiar with the original but, after playing them both back to back, the cover wins for me. The guitars and the voice … Continue reading
Defender Waves – The Caroline Phase
Defender Waves is the project of the same individual behind Dallas Tears. Whereas the latter has been described as “lo-fi bedroom shoegaze” this EP is pure electronica. It’s A Starry Night, Sunrise Girl is laid back techno soul whilst the title track gets brings up imaginary of space and the odd robot or two. Shoulders … Continue reading

Larry Jefferson – Space Missions Are Lame Now E.P & When That Day Comes EP.
Some electronica today. The new EP from Larry Jefferson reminds me of the likes of Biosphere, Pete Namlook and those ambient compilations Apollo and Positiva used to put out. Blissful stuff. Get it digitally via his bandcamp page. EDIT: It seems there is another EP out this time on 1-2-3 Recordings. It features the excellent … Continue reading
Larry Jefferson – Solution
I have mentioned Larry Jefferson before and was well impressed on his Detroit inspired techno/acid house tunes. He has now posted the opening track from the forthcoming album Space Missions Are Lame Now which has been sadly delayed. Solution is another fine piece of acid house. Note that his first album Journey is still available … Continue reading
Jozef K + Winter Son – The Straw That Broke The Camel’s Back EP
Nope not that Josef K if you have given this post title a second glance. This Jozef K is a resident DJ at Sankey’s in Manchester whilst Winter Son is Thomas Ragsdale from Ghosting Season. This is excellent techno with more than a dash of melancholy. Out now on Sasha’s Last Night On Earth label. … Continue reading
Larry Jefferson – Taking From Detroit
Aside from post punk & indiepop I am a big fan of acid house and techno especially artists/tracks that originate or are inspired by Detroit. His surname may suggest he comes from another US city but Larry Jefferson hails from Yorkshire. These tracks here on the other hand are firmly entrenched in Michigan. A cassette … Continue reading
