Another one from the past, Swayzak’s “Another Way”. Reminded of this from Agoria’s awesome Cute and Cult mix.

Liking this album a lot, particularly ‘sugarcubes’ - immaculately timed yet scattershot beats.
November Mix
November 2011 Mix by jamiepotter on Mixcloud
Quick mix pulling together some techno from now and then. Little bit rough around the edges but sod it :)
Byetone - Black Peace
Brutal. Love it. Buy it.
At this time of the year I slowly start to turn away from a lot of the funky soulful music that goes down so well in the summer and delve into brooding and expansive tracks that suit the longer nights. Here, Nocow of St Petersburg, Russia, delivers a brilliantly dark and dubby rhythm track that whets the winter appetite.
Mix by Hate of Modern Love.
A stonking mix of old school hardcore from Modern Love’s Hate.
Four Tet/Daphni - Pinnacles/Ye Ye
Daphni - Ye Ye by Caribouband Pinnacles by Four Tet
It’s been well over a year since I bought a 12” single but Caribou’s latest project, under the Daphni moniker, tempted me to part with my cash for this hypnotic dancefloor nugget on a vinyl-only release. After rinsing Swim non-stop it’s the least I can do.
Four Tet’s Pinnacles stars on the flip, a smokey, jazz-flecked groove that evokes his latest album and the move into four-four territory. The filter effects feel quaint and the bassline drives the rhythm effortlessly. Both these tracks beg for smouldering summer parties to work their magic.
Get it yourself from Bleep.
Bandshell EP
Teaandcake Records have just released their third EP of leftfield electronica, a self-titled release from Bandshell. I particularly like the eerie techno/glitch of Midas. And the whole thing is FREE!
Slam - Haçienda Classics
Slam - Haçienda Classics mix [FAC51] by soma
Glasgwegian techno impresarios Slam have put together an hour long mix of some of their favourite records from the Haçienda between 1986 and 1992. Not only is the set an unmissable history lesson for anybody interested in early electronic dance music, it’s also a masterclass in programming; the flow is just superb.
