Bristol's Appleblim and October team up for the inaugural release on new label, Smorgasbord. 'NY Fizzz' turns the traditional house template inside out with a driving 4/4 beat and dusty rhodes stabs. 'Fountains Of Paradise' takes it back into half-step territory with its spacious and contemplative vibe. Strong.

Bristol's genre-defying producer Julian Smith a.k.a. October releases another gem on his own, highly recommendable Caravan imprint: 'Flat Top Muscle' is bleepy reductionist techno in a Dan-Bell-meets-Sleeparchive kinda way, while 'Memory Man' delves into deeper waters with distinct hints of dubstep.
