Purported glitch hop / wonky imprint Lab Beat has released some seriously sideways sounds in eleven releases by Actionfist, Fizzarum, HipGnosis, Lewing, Master Eveleigh, Neverslept, Planes and Rose Specs.

Neverslept: Jesus Skwept is extraordinarily funky to the extent that it might be called rude.

A squeezed and stripped funk sound is the essence of the scandinavian skweee vibe, and that is a perfect description of what to expect from this lean 3-track release. In fact, the tracklist has been relentlessly trimmed and engineered to burst in literal accordance with the hot and fresh skweee criterion.

Fizzarum: How Nature Works (Digital)
How Nature Works
Proudly presenting a digital re-release of some beauties by the very lovable and celebrated Fizzarum. How Nature Works fuses pastoral, Russian folk-inspired melody with clicky, glitchy bits and lush ambience. Better than Autechre and at least as good as Murcof.

Planes: Joining Dots
Joining Dots
follows two short releases in winter 2010. In consideration of the success of these, much attention has been given to doing nothing differently. Destabilised, squashy, playfully nostalgic, instrumental hip-hop beats with a meticulously planned, gapless track-list.

Actionfist: Fisticuffs
Fisticuffs
A superbly entertaining and genuinely musical vision of varying styles. Quirky works of glitch hop, jungle and noise. The result is highly dynamic, unpredictable and beautifully produced. It is even spectacular to look at, blessed with cover art by Version.
