Aesop Rock Fast
Cars, Danger, Fire and Knives (Def Jux)
New 7-track mini album with production
from Blockhead and Rob Sonic. “The age of the hip-hop MC as soothsayer
and scribe has probably reached its apex in the form of Aesop
Rock, whose electric and mind-bending flow is surpassed only by
the explosive imagery of his fables." Remix |

Prefuse 73 HideYaFace
(Warp)
New single from Prefuse 73 ahead of
the album Surrounded By Silence in March. "There are some
MCs rhyming on HideYaFace that maybe outside of "PrefuseRLand"
wouldn't rock on the same track - but they do indeed. In one corner
we have the man known as EL-Producto, some know him as EL-P. In
the other corner there is Tony Starks aka Ghostface outta the island
of Shaolin" Guillermo Herren. |

Roots Manuva Awfully
Deep (Big Dada)
“In 'Awfully Deep', Roots has made the
best record of his career, 51 minutes of pure ingenuity, real
thought and genuine engagement. Developing a more layered and
'dubwise' sound. His most accomplished set of music to date, with
a real signature” BD |

The
Go! Team Thunder,
Lightning, Strike (Memphis Industries)
The band everyone's excited about - all-out party music that never
ceases to entertain. "Thunder, Lightning, Strike, is a hazy blend
of nostalgia, evoking that period through a melange of action hero
theme songs, early hip-hop (from 1979-82, in particular), and traces
of 70s sunshine funk." |

Chevron
Everything's
Exactly The Same (Planet Mu)
Released Feb 14th - “Stumped for a Valentine's Day gift? Why not
present your beloved with this? Feel their ardour as the hoover
bass kicks in on Running Out Of Time. See their eyes light
up as Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel's Don't Give Up is cannily
reworked as a happy hardcore anthem. Watch their brow knit in confusion
at a ragga re-rub of We Wish You A Merry Christmas called Rudi
The Techno Pioneer. Just like your sweetheart, the debut from
the superbly named Jonathan Valentine is huge fun, rough as you
like and twice as dirty” BBC Music |

Perrey, Dick Hyman and Raymond Scott lovingly created from scratch
with no samples. |

Amon
Tobin Chaos
Theory (Ninjatune)
“More than your standard mixture of unrelated “atmosphere” music
made by a one-fingered failed musician and a Fisher Price synth.
This record uses acoustic instruments, before having thousands of
volts shot through it for that Amon adrenalin rush.” Ninja |

(Dub)
Abstract electro experimentations from the shadowy Drexciya-affiliated

Bibio Fi
(Mush)
Debut release from Black Country resident Stephen Wilkinson, brought
to Mush’s attention by Boards of Canada - "Bibio is the
antidote to the modern laptopia of pristine electronic music, curing
us with majestic drones, gnarly disintegrating guitars and warbling
tape loops filtered through your parent's broken 1970's hi-fi"
