1 | Aphex Twin | Syro | "Syro is amazing: bug-eyed, banging rave that sounds quintessentially Aphex while not quite sounding like anything he’s done before. " NME "It’s a breathless record, one that threatens to last an eternity--such is the speed and dazzling depth at which James expresses himself. " DIY Magazine | ||
2 | Caribou | Our Love | "Every track pulses with a live feel, but they’re all underpinned with the best elements of house, live jazz and even ambient music." Record Collector "The fine line between euphoria and melancholy is negotiated brilliantly on tracks such as Can’t Do Without You. " The Observer | ||
3 | Todd Terje | It's Album Time | "In short, if you fell out of love with dance music at the end of the 1990s, this may be the record to get you back in front of the big speakers." The Observer "He sounds soft, restrained and beautiful." DIY Magazine | ||
4 | Moodymann | Moodymann | "Like most of his records, his self-titled LP shows a talent that stretches well beyond house music, weaving together funk, soul, hip-hop, jazz and R&B into a rich and unpredictable bricolage. " Resident Advisor | ||
5 | Andy Stott | Faith In Strangers | "Faith in Strangers is pretty outstanding, an eclectic, innovative, and cohesive addition to the ambient canon. Yet for all their bold gestures, most of its tracks remain beholden to the genre’s tradition of layered open-endedness" Pop Matters | ||
6 | The Bug | Angels And Devils | "Martin continues to brew new hybrids of dystopian dub reggae, industrial noise and experimental hip-hop." Uncut "An album that retains the precise brutality of London Zoo but feels labored in comparison." Pitchfork | ||
7 | Objekt | Flatland | "It's not just Hertz's technical nous that makes Flatland so compelling, but his commitment to forging something lucid, plastic and expressive, music that blurs the line between hyper reality and the topsy-turvy world of imagination." The Wire | ||
8 | Flying Lotus | You're Dead | "As each song merges into the next, as one style succeeds another, the sensation is that of being in a dream." The Guardian "The genius of Flying Lotus, which has been invariably present throughout his preceding releases, but most especially on You’re Dead!, is that he has an incredible ability to both illustrate and extract exceptional amounts of emotion, without saying much at all. " XXL | ||
9 | Lone | Reality Testing | "His dance credentials already assured, this feels like Cutler reasserting his artistry; an exercise in expressive revivalism, where myriad influences are sketched from memory; an album whose headline proposition is new, despite the ageing origins of its component parts." musicOMH | ||
10 | Fatima Al Qadiri | Asiatisch | "At Asiatisch's heart is bass, gargantuan and window rattling, around which she builds an elaborate framework of complex rhythms and melodies using analogue hardware. " Mojo "It's immersive and transgressive, if you care about this stuff. " Spin | ||
