Welcome to the Bleep Weekly Roundup, our guide to the best new releases.
Our album of the week is from James Holden returning to Border Community. Culminating on his history as an artist so far, Imagine… is an epic collage of energies, allowing its tracks to build patiently, exploring all paths of psychedelic, delicately embroidered threads of synth melodies, allowing listeners to “reconnect with the feelings of hope, freedom and possibility”.
Tresor finalise their epic and essential Drexciyan reissue journey with the much sought after James Stinson project, Shifted Phases available on Bleep exclusive limited green vinyl. Altered Sense hit us with a double dose of deep rave plates from The Jaffa Kid and Bufo Bufo drenched in acid streaked bass and dusty breakbeats. And continuing the trip, Om Unit brings us four tracks of forward-thinking club music featuring his signature sound, taking in elements of Acid, Broken Beats, UK Techno and Dubbed out atmospheres.
Kassa Overall is a welcome addition to the forward thinking Warp Records roster looking to take things even further. With an impressive list of collaborators and credits under his belt, the NYC by way of Seattle artist merges jazz, beats, rap, and his virtuosic drumming, getting personal and even more irreverent of genres on his third album ANIMALS. Also announced this week, Scottish producer Jordan Stanley makes his Bytes debut with a new LP entitled A Cry For The Moon, built up from tiny samples of pop music so distorted as to erase their identity, Stanley uses these tools to recreate classic dance tropes with a modernist twist.
Enjoy!

It has been a whole decade since James Holden’s last solo studio album The Inheritors dazzled us in 2013. While he has certainly been active in that time, naturally much has changed in those ten years. With his eponymous band on 2017’s The Animal Spirits, his eccentric techno indebted sound radically shifted to one of thunderous “hypnotic ritual musick” mixing krautrock, jazz, and electronica, in between his further afield explorations of ambient / drone, film soundtracks, and Moroccan Gnawa music. With Holden back in the solo saddle, he presents all of these updated sensibilities in his latest full length journey.
As the tribal rhythms and signal bending whistles of the opening ‘You Are In A Clearing’ unfold, it’s clear that the title’s instruction must be taken to heart. Imagine… allows its tracks to build patiently, exploring all paths for its psychedelic, delicately embroidered threads of synth melodies, whisking the listener away on a cosmic pilgrimage to “reconnect with the feelings of hope, freedom and possibility”.
This sonic odyssey manifests in the spaces each song evokes: the glaciers of ‘In The End You’ll Know’, where spectral flutters glittering and expanding until they crack with liquid synths spilling out, or the sharp, raw folk of ‘Worlds Collide Mountains Form’ where warm surges of pastoral violins and jagged guitars trace rays of daylight arching across plains. ‘Contains Multitudes’ is perhaps the most adventurous, never once losing its momentum as it mercurially moves from lighthearted breaks to dramatic, jazzy washes, with deep dubby subs contrasting against the high pitched chirps of buzzing synth sparks flying all around.
James Holden’s fourth studio album is an epic collage of energies, culminating on his history as an artist so far.
