Featuring HUERCO S.

The hotly anticipated Apheleia's Theme EP is due to be released some point soon courtesy of Future Times records. Usually I have a strong disdain for anything music related with the word 'future' in it but the New York imprint has lead me to rethink my vocabulary related prejudices. The Future Times back catalogue is well worth checking out with some great contributions from the likes of Maxmillion Dunbar and Rhythm Based Lovers (AKA Jason Letkiewicz) . All three tracks on the Apheleia's Theme EP are of a really high calibre, Huerco S. is quickly establishing himself as one of the top producers in the game with his consistently classy and intelligent output.

In other news the man from missouri has recently served up a cracking debut EP under his new regal scandinavian guise, The Royal Crown of Sweden. The A side tracks are hazy and lethargic while the B side tracks take on a more upbeat, soulful and then disco tinted hue. Really strong release, definitely worth picking up.

Introducing LASZLO DANCEHALL

Laszlo Dancehall is the new moniker for the collaboration between Christian Piers and Leon Vynehall, with their first EP together next week on Man Make Music.

Christian Piers is still a fresh face on the scene with only a couple of releases to his name, most notably on the label he runs with A1 Bassline, Source Unknwn. Vynehall on the other hand has had a great 12 months with well received releases on Well Rounded Housing Project and Man Make Music.

The collaboration works well and all three tracks are solid and well produced. Even though 'Gave Up' was featured on George Fitzgerald's Essential Mix and will be the go-to for most, 'Ain't No Time' is really the standout track of the EP. You can grab a copy of the Gave Up EP on vinyl at Juno right now, with the digital following shortly.
