A new night in Nottingham. For us at the Noise Collective, a new venue in Nottingham. And a whole lot of hype. Every window we passed around Lenton there would be those luscious lips or old school white t-shirts with “ORIGINAL FLAVOUR” shamelessly branded across them (We really should have asked for one now that [...]

TNGHT – “Acrylics”
You will need a wash after listening to this. Lunice and Hudson Mohawke have cooked up a grimy number here on “Acrylics”, which was played today on BBC1. Any explanations of this insane track might as well be rendered useless but we’re here to try. The convulsing synth bassline will knock…
CITY 17 x DEADMAU5 + “Ignite It EP”
Known formally as Touch Bass, City 17 go for the Lucky Charms + Kelloggs Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes route via their eyebrow raising and reverb-flavoured bootleg of Deadmau5’s melodic bomb ‘Strobe.’ Loud, rough and a little bit gritty around the edges, the inclusion of some sharp sawtooth effects saves this remix from the AN audio shredder. ‘Ignite [...]

Special Features – “Illusions”
Eden Anderson, the Englishman better known as Special Features, returns to the scene with a new track that’s been on my radar for a while, “Illusions.” While he may be most well known for his remixes, like that of “Strobe” and the recent “Intropial”, this latest release reinforces his…
kORBian x FRANK OCEAN + “Levit8tion EP” + “House 2013 Mix Session” + “NYE Set” + ‘Moved (Every) Time’
Effervescent house music is in the building tonight – courtesy of UK’s kORBian. Ditching the unique dots that came at the start and at the end of his name, kORBian seals the deal with some playful, melodic key tones on ‘Moved (Every) Time’ and a clever re-interpretation of R&B’s popular chart mogul, Frank Ocean. Accompanied [...]

DÚNÉ – Heiress Of Valentina (Alesso Mix) (Aylen Trap Re-Fix) / DEORRO & DUVOH – Black (Aylen Remix)
He dances with crywolves and sings in front of his mirror as soon as he wakes up in morning. New Jersey’s champion of men – Aylen – returns with a staccato reworking of Alesso’s remix on Dúné’s ‘Heiress Of Valentina,’ and a multi-layered big’un called ‘Black’ (with the original stems provided by Deorro & Duvoh).

Introducing: Lyrics1 – Sound Portrait
“I put my all in this,” Los Angeles-native emcee Lyrics1 says in the intro of his recently released LP, Sound Portrait. When I first listened to the opening track, I was pulled in by the vibrant instrumentals and L1′s honest lyricism. It’s easy to use the word “I” in hip hop,…

Let’s face it. If you’ve jumped the ship and added a computer to your DJ setup you’re playing a whole new game. Sure there’s crossover tools like timecode to keep your hat tipped to tradition, but even though it feels more “analogue” and “real” to spin on 1s and…
