Gray does Grey as Michael Gray steps out from his newly reactivated Full Intention guise to offer his own electronica twist on Visage's groundbreaking electro-pop standard from the New Romantic heyday that was 1980. Not a lot has changed you'll be pleased to hear, with a near-identical vocal a la Steve Strange atop chunkier 4/4 beats that add enough contemporary oomph to bridge the three decade divide with considerable ease. 5 Out Of 5Reviewed By: Lewis Dene...

So here we have a rather unusual EP from producers who clearly have a sense of humour and likes to blurr the lines between shuffle-beat and 4/4.'Kiss My Neck' sees a stripped down hybrid about a vampire, featuring Miss Peg, who delivers an ominous ditty about kissing necks and sucking blood. It's one for the heads down crowd with a penchant for theatric late nights and fear of the daylight. 'Strawberry Moon' includes vocals from 88 rave anthem 'Y'all Want This Party Started Right' with chunky b...

Down there at Superstonic, Laz continues to not-so-quietly fire out dark alley electro which also betrays his punk upbringing and old skool pedigree. 'Let You Know' is dense and snarling with ghostly vocals, the electro groove heightened on the Dub, which adds effective clanking acid drone tones. Above all, it's great to see that vital spirit of mischief and goat-in-the-machine whoopee continuing to course through the circuits.5 Out Of 5Reviewed By: Kris Needs...
London duo straddle boundaries banging together electro-derived beats with techno chords, topped with SaintSaviour's vocal hook: all coated in modern ringtone sheen. Could snarf the indie mob too.4 Out Of 5Reviewed By: Kris Needs...

The headline track from the new album drops at last causing carnage with a package of outstanding remix action. The single gets re-eq'd and punches harder than a Mike Tyson left hook on Viagra with it's kick ass break-beat and rave hooks a plenty. The first Oscar goes to Sub Focus and a twisted 'Time Warp' part 2 rework that slaps you down repeatedly like a retro cartoon fight with it's triplet swinging groove and anthemic big beat breakdown 1990 stylee.For the hottest of Dubstepers out there we...
Dirty Funker is one of those rare artists who defines pigeonholing - one minute tweaking rock classics from Nirvana, Guns & Roses and Bowie, the next restyling '80s funk from Aretha. From the creator's warped mind their latest offering, and quite possibly their strongest shot at a legitimate crossover is this update of Mr Oizo's 1998 hit. Already gaining support from the likes of Annie Nightingale, Eddy Temple-Morris, Groove Armada, Judge Jules et al. With versions from Pablo Decoder, Roman ...
This has been bison's scrotum huge since first appearing in 2004, causing chaos everywhere and littering comps enough to cement its immortality. Not content with that, Guy has now steamed back in his Reshuffle guise with a 13-minute behemoth which, to these innocent ears, tops the original. It's patently obvious on my pathetic sound system that this is a weapon of mass destruction destined to cause carnage this summer with that high-tension bassline and swirling sonic whirlpool but, apparently, ...
Direct from Montreal, "Supafreaky" is 26 year old Franck Further's second release for the Unfused label. A simplified house groove that ten years ago might have been labelled trance, but in 2009 in falls the right side of mininal, the electronic breakdown allowing some understated vocals to creep in. Fellow Canadian but now Berlin based Nick Bugayev has a lot of fun on a freaky remix that slips in elements of funk, electro and gritty techno, resulting in the kind of fucked up groove normally res...
