Magazine Sixty Music Review with Rising Sun
Greg Fenton reviews Rising Sun – The Eternal – Echocord The Eternal feels like a proudly apt title for this release. Sometimes you can’t explain everything so the allure of mystery only adds to the pleasure. I guess you could also say that Eternal 1 opening this full-length exploration of sight and sound is meditative…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Katerina
Greg Fenton reviews Katerina – One EP – Rekids Katerina’s One is all things at once. It’s as much about subtle, sublime melody as it is about rigorous dancefloor movement. The former is of keen interest setting this production apart from its contemporaries as keys, chords, and motifs create sensuous atmospheres to find yourself lost…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Surmillo
Greg Fenton reviews Surmillo – Red Hot EP – Loerty Surmillo’s enticing release for Loerty seems like two halves of the same whole with a sense of ambiguity coursing throughout its tantalising grooves.

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Maya Shenfeld
Greg Fenton reviews Maya Shenfeld – Under the Sun – Thrill Jockey Records Time is of the essence. Or at least it certainly feels that way. Under the Sun embraces you with arms of comfort and yet ploughs dark undercurrents at risk of pulling you under. As demonstrated in the album opening A guide for…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Black Bones
Greg Fenton reviews Black Bones – Mystic Arts 002 – Mystic Arts Is dance music in reverse? You can’t help but get that feeling with increasing regularity, although when something is as powerful as Find The Frequency let’s sidestep the suggestion for a while. Playing as the follow-up to the label’s brilliant debut from Calibre…

Greg Fenton review Melchior Productions Ltd – The Thomas Stieler Edits – MY KING IS LIGHT This series of edits by Thomas Stieler are driven by a force of nature. Opening with the Spiritual Ways Edit of In The Spirit the primacy of the pounding drums is the thing commanding the landscape at first, then…
