Things get deeper and stranger via new material from top producers John Roberts and DJ Richard, alongside new slices from 45 ACP and CAll Super.

July Roundup 2015

Lots of wonderful releases this month, as ever. We chart the smoothest, sunniest waters with Lobster Theremin offshoot Distant Hawaii and our new favourite Harvey Sutherland, alongside a lovely Borrowed Identity edit we missed a few months back. Things get deeper and tougher on Obas Nenor's ace new Mahogani 12" and some classic-referencing trax from Bermuda Triangle and Life's Track, before Matthew Herbert's Earthenware, one of the bossman's best club tracks in years.

Moving into techno terrain there's a textured stomper from Levon Vincent-students Terriers, some typically crushed scifi rhythms from Legowelt and a spacey breakbeat exercise from PLO Man on Acting Press. After an ace collab with Morgan Geist Jessy Lanza shows off her versatility over the spartan footwork production of Spinn and Taso, Japanese oddity Yoshinori Hayashi offers some bewitching noodling, and we end with the recently re-released final recording of late, great Zimbabwean Mbira player Chiwoniso Maraire.

Tracklist:

Hidden Spheres - Waiting

Harvey Sutherland - Bermuda

Borrowed Identity - You Can't Change A Man

S3A - Theuz Hamtaak

June Roundup 2015

The summer is certainly beaming now, and our roundup reflects this, evenly divided between colourful club joints and smoky deep house numbers for those sultry evenings. Here we have a couple of superb remixes and edits courtesy of Maurice Fulton (a reissue of a bona fide classic) and Samo DJ, alongside some top-quality material from Morgan Geist's Galleria project (with WN favourite Jessy Lanza on vocals) and the bizarrely catchy French pop of Domenique Dumont. We then venture into jazzier territory with the Mood Hut crew following up last month's PSS outing with a superb Jack J single on Future Times and an ace new House of Doors single. Finally we take it way deeper with Arnaldo, Session Victim's Matthias Reiling and Raw M.T, closing with the seductive melodies of Nicolas Jaar and John Roberts. To say that this month is an all-star line up would be an understatement. Get listening.

We start sketching some house and disco sketches figures, Nebraska's ace filter-disco, a lovely reissue of Vincent Floyd and some ace material on Text, Future Times and the intriguing new Uniile imprint. Darkness falls midway through the playlist, with Galcher Lustwerk's long-awaited Parlay, a lovely edit from Caribou as Daphni and two stellar cuts from J. Albert, who's got our trophy for the most exciting new artist this year.

April Roundup 2013 & Hiatus

Another month of excellent music is over. White Noise collects our favourite April releases (and a couple that slipped through the nets last month) in a monthly roundup.

In other news, my university finals are coming up and as a result White Noise will be taking a hiatus until the end of May. Expect a return to usual reviews in June, including some new exciting features and our second round of big summer playlists. For now, the cream of April's crop, and you can keep up to date on the latest music through the White Noise Facebook page.

Enjoy!
