Maru Australia 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Cirkel Square bills himself as "rominimal, rotech, rodub, micro and everything in between", which gives you a good idea of what to expect as you slip into this latest from the emergent talent. On this occasion the music is arriving on Australian label Maru and it's yet another reminder to keep tabs on this new talent in the minimal scene. 'Beyond' has a hazy mood thanks to its fine slithers of pads hovering in the back of the mix, but there's plenty of elegant figures darting around the front of the mix to keep the track from getting too sleepy. That also means minimal veteran Reboot has plenty to work with on his typically streamlined version of the track.

Review: Aussie imprint Maru is back with an impressive double header from Israel's Soyro and the mysterious editor USERUNKNWN. On the first side is 'Prelude', an ethereal tech house groove that rolls deep yet aimed surely at the main room dancefloor. Over on the flip, there's the rolling and bass driven 'Foundation' which again nails that Rominimal vibe and features a truly evocative atmosphere. Over on the flip, Bucharest-based DJ/producer Suolo gets onboard for a microhouse remix of the A-side track, taking it into heady afterhours territory.
