Forced to change name for legal reasons from Christian AIDS, Manchester's newly renamed Stay+ releases this strong EP on Ramp. Opening track 'Stay Positive' rewires 90s-eurotrance euphoria with a slodgey ghostly 2010s disenchantment, gritty and twisted feverish tracks. Hot stuff.

Vienna Wildstyle Recordings introduce the pop / future r'n'b crossover sounds of Konea Ra complete with slightly over-the-top vocals and a stylisticly diverse set of remixes, including two recommended witch-hop alterations by Weisz & Schrenk and Tomoroh Hidari.

Tireless dubstep innovator Pinch follows up his recent must-have collaboration album with Shackleton with an equally essential Fabric mix. 22 tracks represent the state of the art at the confluece of electro, techno, dubstep and experimental electronica. Don't miss.

Debut release of Jens Strüver and Robert Ohm's collaborative project, Strüver whose recent wonderful Conrad Schnitzler reinterpretation with Christian Borngräber earned well deserved attention. Gritty analog synths to wilder rhythmic territories, this is a mighty album for fans of modern cosmic electronics.

Shigeto returns to Ghostly with this mini-LP. On 'Lineage' Shigeto extracts elements of jazz, funk, and soul, elegantly composing a collage of organic sounds and ideas and displaying a proficiency in his art across eight sophisticated instrumental tracks. Stunning.

Leila's intricate and intense sound worlds are taken to new territories with guest appearances from Gigolo's Mt. Sims for her latest album on Warp. At times riotous upbeat electronics, at times melancholic blurry dreamscapes, noisy pop gems with Leila's ever-intriguing unpredictability. Recommended.

The debut EP on Hotflush for the young Belgian producer Tim Van de Meutter nudging the Berghain techno, UKG and deep house intersection of the Hotflush body. 'Rooted's housey chords are succeeded with fidgety, acid-tinged beats, 'Drowning' a quaking techno stomper and 'Change' a dubbier groover. One to watch!
