REVIEW Howling ‘Phases (Toto Chiavetta Remixes)’ [Countervisions]

Argentinian producer Alejandro Mosso’s forthcoming Gaia EP is as comprehensive as its name. Being the earth goddess and mother of all life, Gaia encompasses many attributes, all of which can be heard in the EP’s six songs.

REVIEW Tom Demac ‘Muyu’ [XII Series]
A dull moment there is not in Tom Demac’s most recent single, Muyu. In fact, there isn’t a dull moment in any of Demac’s productions, as evident in both ‘XII’ releases. Played by the likes of Dixon and Ame, it seems the second installment of his new monthly series is just as good as the first.
REVIEW Simple Symmetry ‘Voodoo Your Ex’ [Disco Halal]
