Angular, yet beautifully intricate, Machine City is comprised of three harder, techno-lead transmissions – the frenetic You Are, pummeling title-track Machine City, and Detroit-tinged What It Holds – bookended by the more atmospheric and abstract Portent and Turning. Circle Traps are Jack Wyllie, Duncan Bellamy and Will Ward. Jack and Duncan first connected as one half of a celebrated Mercury nominated quartet, and their good friend Will completes the circle. Since forming in 2010, the three have slowly refined and honed in on the more consistently techno-lead style of Machine Cityvia two previous EPs: 2011’s self-titled debut, of which lead track Fjord was included in Bleep’s coveted 100 tracks of the year, and 2013’s Obelisk.Circle Traps’ music is simultaneously the distorted reflection of decline and its counterpart world of slick, crisp, high-end production. Drawing on the gap between past ideas that are left to crumble and a future where clinical digitism can obscure a meaningful reality, they make music both for that lonely journey home or the club at 3am when you are connected, moving together.

Boom Bip's official soundtrack to Ben Cresciman's psychological thriller 'Sun Choke'. Throughout his career, Boom Bip aka Bryan Hollon has thrived in producing off-kilter experimental music. Boom Bip’s debut on Lex ‘Seed To Sun’ (2002) was also the first album on the label. Companion piece ‘Corymb; arrived two years later, including songs from his Peel Sessions and remixes by Four Tet, Boards Of Canada and Mogwai. Boom Bip’s second album for Lex, ‘Blue Eyed In The Red Room’ (2005), was a record in which he meticulously played and recorded every single instrument separately, using no samples in the process. The album also included his first collaboration with Gruff Rhys of The Super Furry Animals, with whom he went on to form the group Neon Neon. The most recent solo LP, ‘Zig Zaj’ (2011), expands on the sound of ‘Blue Eyed In The Red Room’ and is a precursor to the sound of Neon Neon’s ‘Praxis Makes Perfect’

Nevermen, the leaderless trio of Tunde Adebimpe (TV On The Radio), Adam “Doseone” Drucker (Anticon/cLOUDDEAD) and Mike Patton (Faith No More/Tomahawk) is neither side-project nor super group; it's merely meant to be — a years-in-the-making partnership in which these men shared all duties, discovering their collective sound with the sort of glee and freedom usually reserved for first-timers. Amid this wild, weird churn of rock, pop, rap, soul, and other, it's shockingly easy to lose track of who's singing at what moment, and that's the point: to quote Tunde/Adam/Mike in song, "The frontman digests its self." Nevermen, the album, finds these three giants shredding their egos to get at the heart of why they do what they do, to explore the hopes and fears and wins and losses of anyone who carves career out of what started as dream.

Manila Ice showcases Eyedress's unique talent for lovesick composition and songwriting, and his DIY spirit. The album was recorded around the birth of his first child and represents the hopes and fears of a young parent as well as providing him an escape from the realities of his personal life and the dramatic political events unfolding in his home city. He recorded and produced the entire album from his bedroom studio at his parents house - playing lead and rhythm guitar, bass, synths, samplers, drums alongside singing and rapping. His music is informed by the diverse influences of his early life in Phoenix, Arizona and San Clemente, California followed by his family’s return to The Philippines aged 15. Taking to sampling and beat making as much as traditional musicianship, his thirst for expression has seen him turn his unique voice to rap, punk, synth pop and lo-fi indie styles. On Manila Ice he strips his experimentation back to a more traditional songwriting, and brings a striking honesty to the narratives which weave through the record.

Fudge is a collaboration between emcee Michael Christmas and producer Prefuse 73. 'Lady Parts' is their debut album.The record came together during several sessions in the summer and fall of 2015 at Nick Hook’s Green Point studio. Prefuse 73 brought along a hard drive full of beats. Christmas wrote to the instrumentals in the studio, and recorded the vocals the same day, as friends swung by to check it out. Some of the drop-ins at the studio ended up joining in the recording, not least D.R.A.M. who brings lifted soul vocals on “All Points South”.
