Another new signing for Boltfish that goes by the name: Test Pressing. On what looks like a new series of split releases aptly entitled “The Tandem Series”.

Depth Affect, Arche-Lymb [Autres Directions In Music – MOULIN011CD, 2006]
Depth Affect’s latest contribution to Adim is their full-length album entitled “Arche-Lymb” released not so long ago (FEB 2006).

Cheju, A Rainy Mile [Static Caravan – VAN112, 2006]
“A Rainy Mile” is Cheju’s debut release for the honourable Static Caravan label. The beautifully packaged four track 3″ CD single starts off with “Traces”, Cheju’s signature is clearly audible and it would be the beats that would give him away, however isn’t there a very familiar yet foreign element in this track as well,… Continue reading Cheju, A Rainy Mile [Static Caravan – VAN112, 2006]
Inch-Time, Icicles and Snowflakes/ Almond Eyes [Static Caravan – VAN098, 2005]
“Icicles and Snowflakes/ Almond Eyes” is the title of an excellent 7-inch produced by Inch-Time and released by Static Caravan. It’s just a pure pleasure listening to and the fact that it is a actual 2005 seven-inch vinyl release is commendable in itself (come to think of it there are actually two 7-inch releases being… Continue reading Inch-Time, Icicles and Snowflakes/ Almond Eyes [Static Caravan – VAN098, 2005]

Kamotek, Loftway [Low Impedance Recordings – LOZ03, 2005]
“Loftway” is the title of Kamotek’s full-length album released by the Greek label Low Impedance Recordings (SEP 2005). The album stretches 17 tracks long and the tracks collected share the common treat of emphasising the beats – from arcade game to strict format drum’n’bass. There’s an unmistakable playfulness to most of the tracks, maybe a… Continue reading Kamotek, Loftway [Low Impedance Recordings – LOZ03, 2005]
Sensiva, Giosun [Sensotech – ST001CD, 2005]
The first release from the Russian label Sensotech is a full-length album “Giosun” by Sensiva (DEC 2005). This album is very well produced and reveals the talents of a contemporary electronic musician, stretching 10 tracks long and set in down-tempo mode.

Bluetech, Sines and Singularities [Aleph Zero Records – ALEPHZ04, 2005]
“Sines and Singularities” could have been made back in the days when the so called ambient dub reigned (another name cornered by those inventive British music journalists), with a lush, warm, analogue bass infused and quite trancy sound all meant to be understood in a the positive meaning of the words. This music derived a… Continue reading Bluetech, Sines and Singularities [Aleph Zero Records – ALEPHZ04, 2005]
Yasushi Miura, Connection & Repetition [KP-KP4, 2005]
“Connection & Repetition” is the title of recording artist Yasushi Miura’s fourth full-length album. I’m not sure if I’m getting this right, but the label would be called kp and the geographical origin is most definitely Japan. In likeness with the previous album “New Type 3001” this album contains tracks aimed at the unsuspecting dance… Continue reading Yasushi Miura, Connection & Repetition [KP-KP4, 2005]
