Daphni (a.k.a. Caribou) comes through with a handful of nu-disco bangers.

Daniel Avery - Song for Alpha
ReviewsCommentDaniel Avery's latest effort dives headfirst into the depths of ambient techno, but comes up relatively empty-handed.
Caribou - Our Love
Reviews1 CommentCaribou's latest record is a bit of a concept album about the ups and downs of love.
Gesaffelstein - Aleph
ReviewsCommentAleph has some pretty hard-hitting tech house highlights, but most of the subdued tracks just simply aren't as engaging, and only seem like they exist to balance out the aggressive moments here--a lot of which sound very similar.
Jon Hopkins - "Collider"
VideosCommentElectronic music producer Jon Hopkins drops some visuals for the song "Collider," which is one of the many great tracks from his latest full-length, Immunity, which you can catch a review for below.
The story here seems to follow one girl reliving a nightmarish night at the club that involves some epileptic fits--I'm assuming they're drug-related--and one of the most aggressive make out sessions I've seen in a while. The last third actually becomes slightly uncomfortable to watch as our female protagonist struggles against the grip of some fellow clubgoer who looks like he's trying to help her--uh, I think.
Daniel Avery - Drone Logic
ReviewsCommentDaniel Avery assembles a diverse album of well-crafted tech house tracks that's solid from start to finish.
Four Tet - Beautiful Rewind
Reviews1 CommentWhile Four Tet's latest records has some interesting tech house-flavored beats, the presentation of tracks here seems a little too loose, scattered to leave a lasting impact as an album. Some good tracks, though.
James Holden - "The Inheritors"
New Tracks2 CommentsSome wonderfully hypnotic and chilly techno from James Holden's latest full-length, The Inheritors, which is out now on Border Community. Enjoy!
