“Sysex EP” is the latest solo release on Boltfish (DEC 2005) and was produced by Boltfish newcomer Btb. The seven-track EP would appear to be directed toward the open-minded dance floor.

Sticker Club, Song Time Two [No Ground-R – NG-R03, 2005]
“Song Time Two” is the third No Ground-R release and it followed the lovely “Pre FM Tracks” by PFM. On the eight-track “Song Time Two” Sticker Club has chosen a somewhat different path compared to the two previous No Ground-R releases. It’s a dirtier lo-fi sounding and less rich sonic texture being presented. “Poorly Song”… Continue reading Sticker Club, Song Time Two [No Ground-R – NG-R03, 2005]
PFM, Pre FM Tracks [No Ground-R – NG-R02, 2005]
Pre FM Tracks is the title of recording artist PFM’s three track 3″ No Ground-R release. Exceedingly beautiful and very cinematic in its qualities, layers of strings and crystalline-like structure, without being cold sounding, the first track does its title full justice “The Beauty of Repetition”.

Simulcast, Television Street [Simulcast – N/A, 2005]
“Television Street” is the title of the self-released eight-track CD by recording artist/ VJ Simulcast hailing from Australia. It’s a classic take on sampling with beats inspired from the old school. “Television Street” sounds a lot like a very well mixed set by a DJ completely submerged in the activities on a late eighties dance… Continue reading Simulcast, Television Street [Simulcast – N/A, 2005]
Melodium, Hum Hum & Bla Bla [Autres Directions In Music – MOULIN014, 2005]
One of Adim’s rising stars strikes again, this time around his œuvre is somewhat cryptically entitled “Hum Hum & Bla Bla” and proudly carrying catalogue number Moulin014.

Starting off with “Untitled 1” a gentle melody acting as intro to the rest of the… Continue reading Melodium, Hum Hum & Bla Bla [Autres Directions In Music – MOULIN014, 2005]
