Cani Giganti – Brain Confusion [51beats]
I CANI GIGANTI (Marcio McFly - Pepè – Plasman) interagiscono nascosti dalle loro macchine sonore con l’obiettivo di disfare le logiche del dancefloor. Le strutture dei sequencers analogici sono preparate in studio per poi essere rimescolate ad arte durante la performance live, dove la matematica algida delle macchine incontra l’emotività dell’improvvisazione musicale. Nei live dei CANI GIGANTI gli schemi sintetici si fondono con il pulsare della pista evolvendo in modo dinamico grazie ad un instaurato magnetismo palco-dancefloor. Continue risalite di ritmi techno e suoni analogici in risonanza si alternano a melodie ipnotiche che sfiorano a tratti sonorità trance.

Monika Kruse – Traces [Terminal M]
It could be a Monday. Maybe it is more like a Tuesday or any other day of the week. But it is certainly one of these days when your memory parades in front of you, full of emotions. And then the search for the traces begins. A few dozen pictures in your digital camera, your record case - still lying next to your front door. Handle with care. This side up. In your pocket, there is a flyer; on its back a short but treasured message “thank you for the music.”
Maya Jane Coles – DJ-Kicks [!K7 Record]
Maya Jane Coles never intended to be a DJ, let alone one of the most exciting new names in house music when she first started producing hip-hop in her bedroom aged 15.
By her own admission, the 24-year-old Londoner despised house music. “I was quite anti house because the only stuff that I heard was really cheesy vocal stuff on the radio,” she says. “I hated it. I used to think, Who listens to that?”
That was set to change as Maya discovered more underground house and techno music, whilst partying to the likes of Steve Bug and Anja Schenider in and around East London. Aged 17; Maya bought herself some 1210's and started learning to mix vinyl and play out.

Dgtlmonkey – Da Monkey Club [Rustblade]
In primavera tutti al Monkey Club DGTLMONKEY è tornato con il suo nuovo album “Da Monkey Club”, un lavoro che si è già aggiudicato un posto d’onore nella storia della musica elettronica. Le raffinate melodie, i suoni sofisticati e non convenzionali si rincorrono, si mixano e si condensano in 13 tracce, in cui, come in una sorta di viaggio nel tempo, la musica elettronica, dagli anni Novanta a oggi, viene completamente rivisitata, quasi riscritta, infettata dalle contaminazioni più disparate che hanno costruito il background musicale dell’artista. Il viaggio inizia con “Opening Act”, che sorprende e trascina con i suoi ritmi break, che contraddistinguono anche “Rise my people”, sicuramente la punta di diamante dell’intero album: la voce di Hanin Elias (ex Atari Teenage Riot), che è anche autrice del testo, trascina in un vortice che lascia senza fiato e fa letteralmente insorgere e risorgere la break beat più accattivante.
