Album of the Week

Battles – Juice B Crypts

Battles return for their first LP since 2015 with their new album 'Juice B Crypts' and this record is as vibrant as anything they’ve ever done.

The band have said goodbye to longtime bassist/guitarist Dave Konopka and it helps that the remaining members (Ian Williams and John Stanier) are imperious musicians who can seemingly get their instruments to do pretty much whatever they want. Some of the playing here is simply breathtaking, the sort of thing that many bands would not even attempt to replicate (let alone pull off). Intricate, energetic cuts like ‘Juice B Crypts’ and ‘Ambulance’ have as much in common with the maximalist hip-hop of Flying Lotus and Iglooghost as they do with, say, Don Caballero.

Single / EP of the Week

AQXDM feat. Aquarian & Deapmash – Infrared

Separately Aquarian and Deapmash are two of the more exciting up-and-comers in the European techno scene at the moment, so it won’t be a surprise to find out that they make pretty great stuff as a duo as well. Infrared, the pair’s Houndstooth debut, finds them wreaking havoc in AQXDM mode. The title-track kicks off the EP, opening up from a cautious techno number into a Randomer-style rager. The punishing ‘Tunnel Vision’ does something similar before AQXDM take a left-turn into old-skool breakbeat-techno with ‘Leisure Techno’. The breaks are increased to jungle tempo for closer ‘The Good Old Days Are Tomorrow’. ‘Requiem’ appears as a bonus cut on the digital versions of Infrared.

Championed by the likes of Aphex Twin, Skee Mask, Call Super and Zenker Brothers.
