Also recording under his real name, Jake Fairley, Canadian producer Fairmont is known for his melodic and romantic style of techno - an ideal fit for labels such as Border Community and Traum Schallplatten, which frequently release his records.
Right in time for the weekend here's our selection of this month's highlight releases. And what a great month it has been with new albums by Addison Groove, Vince Watson, Monolake, Soap & Skin, Julia Holter, The Host, and Damon Albarn's Rocket Juice & The Moon more...
Getting re-released ten years later surely qualifies Jacob Fairley's 'Paper Stars' as some sort of classic - given the intriguing richness of his excellent dancefloor releases over the past few years, it is pleasant to return to the lushly melodic and delicately textured electronica of his debut album.

What better place for Fairmount's latest EP than the ever unpredictable and versatile Areal records. The title track is a frantic race of acid tinged madness and galloping hats, its counter-part 'Puppet With Glass Eyes' a more subdued affair with its chiming bells, enticing the listener to lose their self in the loop.
