Alternative Architecture are something of an under the radar label. They’ve had quite a few releases that are hard to categorize, which is always a good thing in my opinion. This one is particularly up my strasse, a trio of off beat house steppers. I’m particularly down with ‘Dry’ with it’s woozy drunken keys and sharp percussion. As well as that it’s a ‘name your price’ release, so I urge you to throw a few sheckles in and give it a go, what have you got to lose?
Jeremy Hyman – Slide
Future Times is a label you can rely on for interesting, forward thinking electronic music. This is their latest release from Jeremy Hyman, a name I’ve not heard of before, but will be investigating further after listening to this beauty. Pick of the bunch is ‘Madness’ for me with it’s out there trippy vibes. Saying that ‘Tinted Mirror’ is super lovely too sounding ultra lush.
Greater Manchester Housing Authority on a roll
It’s really difficult to keep up with this guy! Last time we talked GMHA was back in December and yet there are two new smoking releases that have come out since.
Starting with ‘9/10 Centimetres to the Blackest Ever Black’, there’s a real nice flow and feel to this set. Jazz takes the lead on this one expertly fused with bumping modern house riddims. Highlights too many to mention, the whole thing is just one lovely trip.
So as well as that, he’s just put out another EP randing from the lovely downtempo number ‘Chops a Flyin’ to the peaktime banger ‘Anybody Know Who’. As we said in the headline, GMHA is definitely on a roll right now!
Sababa 5 – Crossroads of Love
It’s always great to be sent new music and it’s always wonderful when that new music turns out to be something equally interesting and beautiful. Sounding like an undiscovered Turkish funk joint crossed with a little Thai pop, this two tracker from Tel Aviv’s Sababa 5 is an absolute gem. Featuring Tokyo born Yurika on vocals. This one definitely getting an airing on the next Noods show, check it out at the link below

Banoffee Pie Digi 06
If you’re not familiar with the awesome Banoffee Pie label, they periodically release these great digital compilations which are wicked entry points for the new comers. Volume 6 just came out and it’s the perfect selection, overflowing with deep, dark and dirty dancefloor bombs. My pick of the comp is Mark Nicholas’s hi-tech roller ‘This Jazz’, but the whole thing is fire, go cop…
