Lost Palms 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: It is Edinburgh party-starter Astro who lands on the Lost Palms label here with a wide-ranging four-tracker. The atmospheric opener 'Juniper Ash' has a roomy feel, with cosmic house synth work over journeying drums and some nicely designed claps. 'Gauze' is more energetic with a tech tinge and metallic chords spiraling over the jittery grooves. 'Sanzhi UFO' is one of those zoned-out cuts that lock you in and keep you in a daze between bigger moments and closer 'On A Dub' might just be the best of the lot with its smeared chords, rattling dub tech energy and bouncing rhythm.

Review: Big up Lost Palms for the very worthy achievement of making it to release number 50. Not many labels do that, especially with such consistently excellent output. DJ Psychiatre is the man to step up and immediately offers soothing sounds with the swirling pads and frayed-edge drum sounds of 'Something That U Feel', which is effortlessly cool. 'An Emotion, Whatever' is another heartfelt, mid-tempo deep house classic with subtle funky riffs in amongst the hazy pads and kicks. 'An Emotion, Whatever' has a more cosmic outlook in its synth designs while the flip side keeps the good vibes alive with tech then dubby influences.

Review: Given that Holo's Lost Palms debut is called Technicolour, you'd expect the three included tracks to tend towards the kaleidoscopic and aurally vivid end of the dance music spectrum. They are, of course, with opener 'Juniper' delivering an enticing blend of languid, swing-packed deep house grooves, ultra-dreamy chords, ambient house style spoken word snippets, sampled instrumentation and twinkling, eyes-closed piano flourishes. Holo opts for an even more emotive, melody-driven sound on the sparkling and vivacious 'Shosa' - all heart-soaring chords, tactile melodic motifs and huggable grooves - before diving deep into dreamy, breakbeat-driven ambient techno territory on the mid-90s style gorgeousness of 'Try'.

Review: Having accumulated millions of plays for their tracks on a video-sharing site, deep house crew Magnetic Family make their vinyl bow via Shall Not Fade offshoot Lost Palms. The EP is titled Songs For The Open Air, and it's a fitting descriptor. Opener 'Haze', for example, is a picture postcard perfect slice of immersive, tactile and dreamy deep house loveliness that sounds tailor-made for unfurling as the sun comes up at an open-air party, while the chunkier and more dubbed-out 'Aerial' has '3am at Barbarellas in Croatia' all over it. Elsewhere, 'North Circular' adds jazzy synth licks, colourful pads and warming organ stabs to loose-limbed classic house groove, while 'A Love' is a more thickset roller with deep bass, eyes-closed vocal snippets and swirling sonics.

Review: Subjoi delivers a luscious cut of pensive, dusty dance units, topping up his credo as a mainstay on Lost Palms since its inception. A rare example of deep modern melancholia, we're reminded of the sensibility of the adjacent lo-fi house, or Galcher Lustwerk's hip-house hearstring-pullings. 'Know You Better' opts for 2-steppy woodblocks and belly-aching piano chords, with a central vocal line stuttering in a butterflying stasis. We'll leave you to discern the beauty of the ensuing tracks yourself, but we must add that 'Rotary' is our romantic highlight, a space-age breaks lurcher with swelling strings and recondite filtersweeps.
