Quench’s “O.M. – X.H.” release on Inc.Us is yet another strong release. With multiple releases on DUB, an album on U-cover and on Eat This they continue their musical mission. Their characteristic beats programming, acute sense of melodies and exceptional atmospheric constructions shine through as always. The 4-track 12″ starts off with beats as crunchy… Continue reading Quench, O.M. – X.H. [Inc.US – INC.US010, 2002]

Metamatics, Remixes [Delikatessen Records – PLATE3, 2002]
Metamatics of Neo Ouija fame gets remixed and ends up on this, the third delikatessen release. A-side’s first track “byeway rewired” has the distinct sounds of the remixer: sense. And what a fantastic track it is, a nice build up leading to some serious beats programming and a pulsating deep bass. None other than sense… Continue reading Metamatics, Remixes [Delikatessen Records – PLATE3, 2002]
Crunch, 10″ [Delikatessen Records – PLATE2, 2002]
The mysterious Crunch with an album release on Musik Aus Strom and an EP on Colony is responsible for this second release on delikatessen. The A-side’s single track “boy.rek” is amazing, strong beats sprinkled with some delightful clicks, a solid bass-line and a melody that is sure to bring tears to your eyes. The B-side… Continue reading Crunch, 10″ [Delikatessen Records – PLATE2, 2002]

L’Usine ICL did the honors and was the first to release on delikatessen records. This beautifully packaged 10-inch contains 4 strong L’Usine tracks.

Naono, Slope Drifting [Vibrant Music – VMD-3, 2002]
It is the debut album of 24-year old Greek artist Naono for Vibrant Music, following the quite brilliant 12- inch EP Ati Pol. Apparently this is a CD-only release and running 54 minutes in lenght divided into 14 individual tracks. But since the tracks are intertwined, it can very well be viewed as a 54… Continue reading Naono, Slope Drifting [Vibrant Music – VMD-3, 2002]
Funckarma, Part 5 [DUB Recordings – DUB 23, 2002]
Complex beats, plenty of bass and the lushest sounding melodies, as you would expect from this outstanding group: Funckarma. They are releasing records in a furious tempo right now, and this, the fifth part in their parts’ series is simply brilliant. It doesn’t get any better than this (well that’s my opinion anyhow.) DUB recordings… Continue reading Funckarma, Part 5 [DUB Recordings – DUB 23, 2002]
