Tellus’ Shrouded in Sun EP follows on from a raft of lovely releases across Akuratyde’s Modern Conveniences label over the past few years. The label’s delicate, lush, melodic drum & bass explorations show a continued affinity with autonomic and share its interest in the more spacious, idiosyncratic, contemplative, and bittersweet possibilities of drum & bass.

One of the most exciting collaborations on a scene, Bas Dobbelaer and Vand are back on SoHaSo with the ZL2 EP, continuing to shape the intriguingly poignant universe they created on Laren EP almost two years ago.

REVIEW: Joachim Spieth - Ousia [Affin]

In the darker regions of techno, Joachim Spieth is a familiar name with an unmistakably familiar signature sound: extra deep melancholic pads set to a relentlessly driving beat, creating a stark contrast that is "oh so Spieth".
