Dense

First, thank you to all of you who came out for the short noticed shows by Kyoka and Toytone at the Dense store last week-end. A couple of pictures are now available on our Flickr account.

Several new releases from “important” acts have surfaced this week, providing a soundtrack to everybody’s post football mania (or is it trauma)? It all starts with the very playful, original and tasty “Supreme Balloon” new album by Matmos, then jumps to “Detrimentalist”, the new rave-infused, high speed album by breakcore idol Venetian Snares, to arrive to The Bug long-awaited new full length, “London Zoo”, this time released on Ninja Tune. Jamie Lidell keeps on riding the “Jim” wave, and delivers this week an “Another Day” new single to his recent album.

Switching from confirmed names to newcomers or underrated acts, we were quite impressed by Jasper TX‘s new CD on the great Miasmah label, somewhere between drones and post-rock. The dubstep section also welcomed two “new” heavy hitters this week with new albums and singles by both Ital Tek (on Planet Mu) and Scuba (on their Hotflush label), and the hip hop one gets a very strong album back in stock with Oh No‘s “Dr No’s Oxperiment” on Stones Throw.

Here’s the list. Enjoy, and keep densing.
