There is a time and a place for remixes. This isn't one of them. 'Remixes' sounded half like a GCSE music technology coursework and half like the backing music from the pause menu on a generic racing game. For tracks that are supposed, and indeed are individual interpretations they all sound creepily similar. Nu-Jazz is precarious at the best of times but these have been remixed to the point where it offers nothing new, which is the very point of doing a remix in the first place; to create something that sounds [...]

Sa rencontre avec l'influent Carl Craig en 1997 fut décisive. Depuis, le DJ et producteur Matt "Bubblicious" Chicoine alias Recloose s'est fait un nom dans les clubs de Detroit . Ses cuivres, lignes de basse et synthés orientés musique soul dénotent avec l'électro locale. Cet ancien saxophoniste de jazz sort son premier album Hiatus On The Horizon en 2005 chez Planet E , le label de Carl Craig. Recloose mélange les influences sur son second opus Perfect Timing – chez Sonar Kollektiv . Il [...]

Since making its UK radio debut on Annie Ma c last Friday, everyone's been getting quite excited over the predictably stunning collaboration between Monarchy and Holy Ghost . What's even better is that the guys now want to share the love! New York DFA cohorts Holy Ghost (and possibly Sonar Kollektiv / Innervisions bloke Dixon , we're a bit unsure of his involvement) have taken the space funk pop of the original and dressed it a big shiny suit of clattering percussion. Make no mistake [...]

Various - (Based On Misunderstandings 3) [Sonar Kollektiv] (buy) The third release in the "Based On Misunderstandings" series on the Berlin Sonar Kollektiv imprint sees Arto Mwambé remixing Roland Appel's "Secrets" which is taken from his 2008 album Talk To Your Angel. And if you flip over you will find another remix from Arto Mwambé but this time they are remixing Lars Bartkuhn (a live jazz & classical music producer). Roland Appel's "Secrets" gets a deep new aged future jazz feel thats bursting with warm synth-lines & squelchy off-key basslines. It has a "live" feel but not an overpowering live feel which [...]

Great achievement by this now legendary indie label. Not many independents even make it past 2 releases let alone 200! This celebration release is compiled by Jazzanova but rather than produce an anthology that chronologised the history of the label from day one, they have simply picked, programmed and arranged their selection of their favourite releases from the label during the last 12 months. Thankfully 2008 has been one of the best years yet and this features tracks from Soulphiction, Recloose, Paul Bryan, The Black Seeds, Thief, Roland Appel and many other fine tracks from artists [...]

[ Sonar Kollektiv ] ( buy CD ) ( buy mp3s ) Matthew Chicoine, aka Recloose, would be hard enough to pin down even if he hadn't recently upped sticks and moved to a beautiful coastal hamlet in New Zealand. His famed "demo-on-rye" entry into the world of dance music certainly would have put him on the map even if he made average, interchangeable music. I say hard to pin down not because his music lacks style, but rather Chicoine has the confidence to explore, seemingly guided by an "anything [...]
