Alleluia, frères et sœurs ! Archive est revenu. Et pas qu’à moitié, puisque les anglais nous livrent ici Axiom, un concept-album vendu depuis quelques mois par Darius Keeler comme le projet le plus ambitieux de leur discographie. Car pour cette nouvelle sortie, Archive accompagne son univers musical d’images animées, fixées sur un second disque. Un court-métrage qui devance les remarques souvent entendues sur l’évidence cinématographique des œuvres à rallonge du groupe. Archive ne nous laisse pas le choix de l’interprétation de ce qu’on peut écouter, Axiom est livré pré-imaginé.

Deux ans après la sortie de son dernier album Like a Baby, Jerry Paper signe un retour haut en couleur avec ce nouvel album Abracadabra. Connu pour sa pop expérimentale, Jerry Paper laisse cette fois-ci plus de place à l’authenticité. Ne s’éloignant jamais bien loin de sa passion pour la pop, on y retrouve les sonorités suaves qui font presque partie de son ADN.

Detroit's Ali Berger returns to FatCat Records' sub-label FCR with a follow up release entitled 'Keys The Door EP2'.After his 'Keys The Door EP1' that picked up support from the likes of Ben UFO, Artwork, Huerco S and Machine Woman, Michigan's Ali Berger returns to the FatCat Records off-shoot FCR which features releases from Cottam, DJJ and Project 223. Ali's previous releases on Clave House, Firm Tracks and Isaiah Tapes reflect his keen ear for slick, stripped back house productions that's gained the attention worldwide resulting in him being signed to FatCat and regularly featuring in clubs all over the US.'Grease Trap' kicks things off with a wavering acid line, robust melodies and outlandish oscillations before 'Heard' drops low-slung bass grooves, emotive leads and rhythmic tombs reminiscent of early Larry Heard productions. 'Hit Piece' introduces eccentric synth shoots, bubbling percussion and glistening rhythms until 'Keys The Door' rounds things off with a cheerful house cut fusing dreamy piano chords and a stimulating drum sequence.

LUXXURY (born Blake Robin) is the LA Beatmaker who really comes correct on this new EP on Nolita Records. It features four of his freshest tunes to date and if the title is anything to go by it could be the start of a fine new series. Things start all sensuous on 'Let's Stay Together' before the stylish cosmic disco Rhdoes and smooth grooves of 'Don't Give Up (I Believe In You)' and breezy, hip swing charms of 'Pleasure' make a great impression. 'Two Hearts' rides on nice languid bass riffs and last of all comes the upbeat, piano laced and hands in the air jam, 'Hold On (Crackazat remix).'
