Despite their fundamentally misleading name, the Manchester-hailing quartet Egyptian Hip Hop do make some pretty good indie rock. Their latest release on R&S skirts psychedelic rock, bleary shoegazer echos and rhythmic experimentation, showing their very well-informed take on longstanding band format.
Following on from two releases on Shifted and Ventress's Avian imprint, Tom Russell aka Truss drops this beast of a release on R&S. Punishing beats, prowling basslines, straight up acid techno head slams of 'Roly Poly Babs' and the sheer swaggering menace of 'Your Orders' - sick enough to need hospitalization.

His debut album on R&S, Belfast's Jack Hamill doesn't spare on sci-fi imagery for this concept-album of an intergalactical journey. Epic cosmic synths, dreamy soaring speeds and deep funk, disco and house as well as electrified ballads in a carefully laid out narrative. Not much to do except sit back and enjoy the ride!

The Brooklyn duo, with an album in the pipeline, arrive in style at R&S. 'Motif' a mighty hypnotic soupy synth brew harking loosely in techno delirium, 'Eternal' with a poppier dancefloor appeal and the Actress remix deploying stern strategies and reinventing its DNA in a heaving crunchy technoid beast. Essential.

Arthur Cayzer's follows up his brilliant Safehouses EP and Detroit Falls maxi with another fine cut on R&S. 'Rift' carves a svelte figure in low-end science, a tremoring bassline set alight with ethereal dusty highs, 'Signal Loss' echoey vocals and song structure and the lush ambient textures of '...Metal Trees'. Top.

His album upcoming on R&S, Manchester's Matt Cutler taster single shows a lick of acid and jungle is in order to dance - 'Crystal Caverns 1991' juggles his bleary synths with a darkly raving core sounding like a delirious dream from UK dance history, 'Vulcan Mill Acid' squidges its way appropriately forth. Wicked.
