Toby Leeming’s debut album arrives mid-October on the notable excellent Ai records.  After a string of 12″ releases he is now ready to unleash his own brand of dancefloor oriented techno and electro with a strong tie to melodic composition.

Toby’s live set comprises of Ableton, a Korg EMX-1, a home made midi controller mixing desk and live keys, and we hope to hear news of some dates to celebrate the upcoming album soon enough.

I’m very happy to see two of the titles relating to my current turf, wonder whether Hemsby acid is a shout to the most bodacious Bloc Weekend Festival?

Octogen (aka Marco Bernadi) will be dropping his first release of 2008 ‘Gindofask’ on Soma Quality Records on 25th August 2008.

I was lucky enough to get a sneak preview via promo and what I can tell you is that there is a fantastic mix of Drexciyan style electro, Black dog tinged early 90s techno, UR detroit sounds, Phuture 303 chicago melodies and a whole lot more. Simply loads of things I love about classic electronic music enhanced in a contemporary album. Highly recommended!
