DMX Krew 's latest release emerges on a new label, and clubnight offshoot, Wavey Tones (organisers of this recent, phenomenally good lineup in London ).  Complex, multi-layered machine funk vies for attention with some really quite accomplished and emotive melodic synthesizer programming. Though this EP consists of real, detailed, almost challenging 2012 electro-funk, the producer's affinity with genuinely touching and affecting tunes pulls it into the territory of 'proper songs' (that's lazy, but you know what I mean).  Fans of Todd Terje's latest quirky crowd-pleaser 'Inspector Norse' will lap up the trundling, grinning arpeggios of opener 'Mustard Parasol ...

In our latest trip to Rock's Backpages – the world's leading archive of vintage music journalism – we visit the magazine circa 1980, a time when Ian Penman saw nothing wrong with kicking off a Kid Creole feature with a spot of French philosophy "To try to write love is to confront the muck of language: that region of hysteria where language is both too much and too little, excessive (by the limitless expansion of the ego, by emotive submersion) and impoverished (by the codes of which love ...

Earth Angels Of Darkness, Demons Of Light II [Southern Lord; 2012] by Reed Scott Reid Rating: After “Father Midnight” and “Hell’s Winter,” the deeper magic and Aslan’s breath — a cough of hope in a fatalist wheeze. There is something dreadful about the beauty of this dawn, the inevitability of its cycle suggesting the daunting physicality of Ted Hughes’ Iron Man on the march, as if dread were, in fact, a condition of the beautiful, whose details can only be examined or demonstrated in the shade of anxiety’s big pink parasol. Fear circumscribes the world, drawing the earth ...
