Another excellent release by our friends at New Speak and this the second piece if new speak features Bauri and a Bauri in form I might add. There’re six tracks on this slab of vinyl and all of them are highly well produced piecies of lush and warm electronics the difference between them being a… Continue reading Bauri, Everything Will Be OK Again [New Speak – NSPK002, 2003]

Sky Tucker, Pressing Matters EP [Record Camp – RCLVEP001, 2003]
The first release on the American label Record Camp and it’s a good one at that. It’s a four track 12″ by Sky Tucker “Miami Nites” bears some definite bass influences and rolls on with certitude and a dose of glitch. It is followed by “Kronic” with melodies that have gone astray and a healthy… Continue reading Sky Tucker, Pressing Matters EP [Record Camp – RCLVEP001, 2003]

Wrangö has performed live at ED at more than one occasion and he performed… Continue reading Marcus Wrangö, Glaptop [Blocc Records – BRCD0001H, 2003]
Pavan, Norra Kvarken [Flora & Fauna – FLO 7-006, 2003]
A 7-inch produced by Pavan released on the Swedish Flora & Fauna label. First side’s “Norra Kvarken” offers a funky piece of electronica with a lo-fi leaning selection of sounds and an associative melody. It’s quite an addictive track. Flip the heavy vinyl 7-inch for “Default Deluxe’s” dubbed-out washes of bass alongside glitches to go… Continue reading Pavan, Norra Kvarken [Flora & Fauna – FLO 7-006, 2003]
Sense, Learning To Be [U-Cover – U-COVER 015, 2003]
Sense on U-cover makes sense! The album is outstanding, so emotional, so warm and so electronic. At times it sounds like it was made before the fantastic Neo Ouija full-length release “A View From a Vulnerable Place” and there are resembles, but it is still a striking album, very much so in fact. It strengthens… Continue reading Sense, Learning To Be [U-Cover – U-COVER 015, 2003]
