Skrillex and Diplo Present: Jack U
“Why not make a better, more original sounding record than this generic, cookie-cutter shit?”
Snoop Dogg: Bush
“this album is so generic and typical of what the omnipotent Pharrell Williams is producing these days, that I had an all-pervasive sense of deja-vu whilst listening to it.”
Leftfield: Alternative Light Source
“Alternative Light Source is a strong return for Leftfield all these years later.”
Fur Coat: Balance mix
“…peppered with brooding intensity and more atmosphere than a Kubrick film.”
White Shadows: Secret of Life
“Its musicality is predominantly shimmering, light and positive, however the vocals tell of a disconnected soul who has become disillusioned with the modern condition.”
Alison Wonderland: Run
“It’s 2015, so we can forego all the gender-specific bullshit about how amazing it is that Alison Wonderland is a very competent producer.”
Magda: Balance 027
“Magda builds the journey oh so slowly for the traveller, heading straight from the asylum and out into the woods where the creatures of the night lurk with their warped beatless brethren.”
Unsound Adelaide Thursday
“this night left me feeling like I was either teetering on the edge of an intro that was about to become a journey”
Nas, Thebarton Theatre
“The perfect blend of theatricality and street poetry, Nas took the peeps back 20 years to the beginning.”
Balance Presents: Kolsch
“Kolsch’s offering is a fine slice of propulsive, deep and often moving sounds sitting at the deeper end of the tech house / deep trance spectrum.”
