April: 10 big tunes you need to hear this month
From Louie Vega and Lone to Mad Rey and Matt Karmil
3 Crooked Man
'Echo Loves Narcissus' (DFA)
Part 1 of the might ‘Echo’ series (with a bassline as big as Double 99) was voted Single Of The Year by Piccadilly Records, so the arrival of Parts 2, 3 and 4 is cause for a Death From Above celebration. “A sonic saga across four movements”, we’re told: more of this please!
4 Lone
'Temples' (R&S)
Lone’s recent Essential Mix was a thing of beauty and there were five tracks from his current ‘Ambivert Tools’ series included in that two-hour journey. ‘Temples’ sounds like something conjured up for play in the middle of a rainforest, and therefore is our pick of the bunch.
