While most labels seem happy to rest on their laurels and stick to the standard current formats of digital and vinyl, Glasgow imprint Broken20 are forever looking to expand their horizons. The latest project to come from the mind of TVO and co is the launch of Broken60 , a cassette based offshoot label and the first outing comes from 10-20 in the shape of his "Magnet Marsh" album. Across the album's 21 tracks, the listener is welcomed into a world of easy on the ears left of centre electronica. Sprinkling drums [...]

I may have needed less convincing than most, but Broken60 (an offshoot of Ruairidh Law aka The Village Orchestra's Broken20 label) have published a manifesto of sorts which outlines the reasons why they feel they feel the need, in 2012, to start a cassette label. Dave Donnelly aka Production Unit, who runs the tape wing, rightly focuses not on the purely physical aspects of the object itself, even if a reference to licking the cassette's cover borders on the fetishistic, but on the interrelationship between the object, the sound that is produced, and the emotions that are evoked. The format [...]

Vorig jaar kwam het debuutalbum uit van Ed / 10-20 uit Devon, Engeland. Op moment van schrijven hierover op Eclectro had hij welgeteld 48 vrienden op Myspace en 786 luisteraars volgens Last.fm. Inmiddels zijn de aantallen respectievelijk 174 en 5.704. Maar we laten de cijfers voor wat ze zijn, want er is een veelheid aan nieuwe muziek van deze producer bijgekomen. Na zijn debuut is Ed Davenport begonnen aan een reeks van vier EP's onder de noemer Landforms . Na Mountain , Island en Lake is het volgende [...]

As noted here yesterday , Highpoint Lowlife has only added to its standing in 2009. A key element of its line-up has been 10-20 , a Devonian electronica-warper who book-ended the label's year: his eponymous first album [...]
10-20 - hallow The WIRE: "Hailing from Devon in South West England, the producer behind 10-20's shatter-beats has so far declined to reveal his real name. But his dexterity with handling huge chunks of machine-tooled sound and coarsely chopped samples were very much in evidence on his first album for Highpoint Lowlife, 10-20, and on this satellite 7" release."

Op de puinhopen van drum 'n bass, UK garage en hip-hop zijn mooie nieuwe dingen gaan bloeien de afgelopen jaren. Vooral de verknipte en gedetunede melodieën op veruïneerde hip-hop ritmes wat tegenwoordig vaak 'wonky' wordt genoemd doet het goed. Er is veel schoonheid te vinden in de gruizig en vies aandoende elektronica van bijvoorbeeld Burial, Flying Lotus of Harmonic 313. Ook de muziek van 10-20 is van die aard dat je even door de kraakjes en ruis heen moet luisteren om tot de ware kern te komen. Producties die eigenlijk het midden houden tussen de wonky stijl en [...]
