Recollections GRM in association with Editions Mego continue on with their re-issue series, by releasing Croatian composer Ivo Malec's two works 'Triola' and 'Bizarra', originally issued in 1978 on INA-GREM. Based in Paris, Malec was a member of the Groupe de musique concrète, alongside founder Pierre Schaeffer and other contemporaries such as Luc Ferrari and Iannis Xenakis. 'Triola ou Symphonie pour moi-même' is a work split in to three movements, which moves from moments of frantic tones and sharp pointed electric storms while occupying cavernous sonic spaces. 'Bizarra' is a more compact and concise piece where his carefully crafted magnetic tape manipulation come to the fore. Another great release dug up from the archives of 20th Century composition.

Goon club all stars currently serves as one of the leading importers of the house sound of Durban, the Gqom sound that’s making waves worldwide. Primarily a mutant offshoot of the UK funky and hard house continuum, producers like DJ Lag have created the most interesting contemporary club music since the Principe Discos kuduro sound. The four tracks on this eponymous EP are no-nonsense, dancefloor igniting bangers ready to be played loud!
EKSTER012
The ever brilliant Ekster imprint follow-up the now classic Be Me album with We Never Happened, the second entry for the imprint from the 3D club deconstructionist Ssaliva. Twelve tracks that contain his most dynamic transmissions to date.
Carrying its influence within the lineage of early Autechre, but the moments when they were at their most melodic (think the stunning piano remix of Bola's 2002 hit Chamchimzee for an idea of where Ssaliva's heads at). The sounds within We Never Happened bristle with the DNA of Arca, Logos, Amnesia Scanner & J.G.Biberkopf's finest moments. In keeping with his Ekster label mates TCF, Hiele & that brilliant library LP from DMX Krew, Ssaliva's new turn on the electronic wheels of steel combine an ambient exploration that resembles the earliest incarnations of Warp's Electronic listening music, but shot through a 2017/16 digital hi-def lens.
Ssaliva's approach to the never-ending possibilities of sound design have yet again turned up one of the most sonically impressive records of recent times, huge recommendation if you are into his last Ekster, PAN or any of the above.
MH016
Canadian born Phoebé Guillemot, otherwise known as Ramzi, has joined forces with Mood Hut for the second in the Phobiza series. Since 2012, Mood Hut have been releasing deep, building and all-together spacey electronic music, ranging from slow house to dub-tech. Available on limited edition vinyl EP, Phobiza Vol 2 takes influence from the global landscape of ambient and electronic sounds. Trippy ambience and ghostly vocal samples weave through each track to transport you to a different dimension. ‘For Vanda’ uses gentle rainforest sounds, a strong Indian drum style in ‘Messiah’ conjures feelings of a sunrise in Goa.

Shelter Press follow up impeccable sides from Akira Rabelais, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma & Stephen O'Malley with Matt Carlson's rubbery funk LP The View From Nowhere. Built around bubbling vocals and pocket calculator tones that bend, twist and squeeze themselves into all sorts of spaces, The View From Nowhere is like an audio game of twister with prickly synth tones rummaging in the spaces between. It's something like a squeezed together super group of Holly Herndon, Ben Zimmerman, Rashad Becker and EVOL.
