Changing direction without losing the core of your audience is perhaps the most difficult thing to do in music (The Beatles and David Bowie notwithstanding). Another feat, which is tricky at best, is to turn out a techno/house record that will somehow be unique; even the Chemical Brothers last attempt was somewhat comprised of past efforts and previous formulas. Daniel Ash attempts to do both on his third solo self-titled album. Being the one time Bauhaus guitarist, as well as Continue Reading
You’ll know Dot Allison, whether you think you know it or not, as the perfectly sweet angelic foil to Death In Vegas’ dour military-esque drive on ‘99’s epic soiled diamond of a tune, ‘Dirge’.

Fallacy on the otherhand still works as a bouncer. And it’s at this point that we find them, straddling the ever increasing divide between London music and UK garage. Not that this is UK garage, you understand – just that it has Continue Reading
