Free download from Xhin

Xhin is soon to release his new LP, Sword, on Stroboscopic Artefacts. Here's one of the tracks, This Is What You Drew While You Were Asleep, as a taster of what the album may sound like... It's really atmosheric, almost magical, very interesting to hear this from him... I like it!

Lucy’s Wordplay For Working Bees

A few days ago Lucy released his new album Wordplay for Working Bees on his own berlin based label Stroboscopic Artefacts and I can with no doubt say, it's one of the best techno albums I've listened to so far. Haven't bought it yet, but have listened to the entire album more than a few times already as it can be streamed in full from FACT. It's deep, quite dub at times and very atmospheric with some male vocals here and there, which don't normally do it for me but here they somehow work pretty well. He definately doesn't come accross as harsh as in his live sets.

Talking of his live sets, listen to this...

How is this even possible? Killer set! It's almost too much even to just imagine being in Berghain listening to this...
