Sonar’s Ghost X GMHA – 3 X 2

Out today, Sonar’s Ghost goes head to head with GMHA for the Sector 12/12 label. As well as being absolute fire, it’s all for a good cause with all proceeds going to support a local homeless shelter.

It’s not a well kept secret that Sonar’s Ghost is one Dominic Stanton flexing his post retirement production skills. The EP opens up with ‘Loveboat’, a glitchy, channel-hopping number that was previously given away as a freebie with a limited run t-shirt. ‘Ol Blue Eyes’ is next with a little rolling drum & bass flavour. Dominic finishes his (virtual) side with ‘The Moltern Mole’, a crunchy dub number. Be warned, we recommend listening to this one with a decent set of speakers to fully enjoy that b-line.

GMHA takes over for round two kicking off with the absolutely gorgeous ‘Hypnotica’. The off kilter drums on this one are an absolute delight. Next up is ‘Rack and Ruin’ which starts off all moody electronics until the banging kick smashes us round the chops halfway through. Finally we have a lovely little downtempo vibe, ‘Marget’ to close the set. Purchase here.

Steve Spacek – Natural Sci-Fi

It looks like this one has been a long time in the making! Apparently this album was started way back in 2005 as a follow up to Steve’s Spaceshift album but never completed until now. Not that Steve has been slouching in the meantime what with many other projects on the go including Africa Hitech with Mark Pritchard or Space Invadas with Katalyst. Eglo records have also been issuing a number of Spacek bangers over the last year or so with a trio of EPs. It’s great to see they now have a full album on the way. For the time being we have just the one track to preview, Carnival Nights, which has a great futuristic dancehall vibe. The full album is released December 7th, but you can pre-order via the Eglo bandcamp page now.

Greater Manchester Authority – Cosmik Musik II

GMHA has been knocking it out of the park recently with a series of self-released EPs over on his bandcamp page.  His latest, ‘Cosmik Musik II’ is an ace, fun collection full of dancefloor heat with a couple of beatless spacey moments thrown in for good measure.  The tune ‘Astronaut’, I’m told was made from parts of a track Dave Sector and Dominic Stanton were working on but couldn’t quite get together.  Dave sent GMHA the parts and was suitably blown away by the results!  Elsewhere there’s the awesome ‘De I Comahlee Ah’ and the cheeky ‘Clapping Song’ inspired ‘369’.  If this is the first you’ve heard of GMHA, make sure you check out the back catalog over on the bandcamp page, you’re in for a treat.
