The sonorous shape shifting form of Neil Landstrumm is back, this time coupled with Glasgow’s groundbreaking JD Twitch to once again form Doubleheart for the ‘Roca EP’. These electronic alchemists conjure up rolling chords and a textured complexity from the outset. “Grasso” is deep, lush and soaring. Electro at the core with retro playfulness pushing the boundaries of this uplifting opener. “Crank” melts sounds in a simmering brew of industrialised and digitised House. Beats and melodies are at loggerheads in this powerful piece of scorched machine funk. “Lizard” takes a different route. The tempo is reduced as Heather Craig offers vocals for a work of nightdrive Electro adaptation. Tribal disturbances close the 12. “Fuentes” rumbles forth with a cacophony of beats and samples with an Afrobeat being hijacked by Breakbeats invaders. Doubleheart have set the phazers and aren’t taking prisoners.

Podcast 267: Deadbeat
Words: Shawn Reynaldo
http://www.xlr8r.com/podcast/2012/10/deadbeat
Like many of his Canadian techno brethren, Deadbeat (a.k.a Scott Montieth) long ago left his home country and resettled in Berlin. That aspect of his story may not be particularly original, but the course he’s subsequently plotted with his music most definitely is, as Deadbeat continues to innovate while exploring the murky sounds of dub techno. The most recent chapter of that exploration is Eight, his latest LP. Now, just weeks after its arrival, Deadbeat has put together an exclusive mix for the XLR8R podcast series. As one might expect, it’s a deep listen, albeit one that’s not without its share of thunderously churning beats. Montieth may be increasingly touting his live show these days, but this mix proves that he hasn’t become a slouch on the DJ front, as he leans heavily on newer cuts and assembles an intricate, nuanced journey full of clacking drums, dubby melodies, and hypnotically swirling rhythms. In sort, it encapsulates what the Deadbeat experience is all about.

It’s just so amazing how there can always be so much good music out there and this week there’s no exception. Blinding new beats come thick and fast from Kingthing, Monky, Electronic Explorations, Lenkemz, Fracture, Om Unit and more. The show starts on a deep techy garage bass tip before elevating into some masterful Juke/D&B hybrids. Enjoy
