Innovative experimentation flows freely through Darren Emersonrsquos foreboding beatless reprise of lsquoFanfarersquo, whilst Quivver presents two takes of unrivalled electronic research. The wideranging influences, and beautiful and unusual music ofBrazilian duo Daniela Caldellas and Daniel Albinatirsquos Digitaria project is juxtaposed by Guy Jrsquos mindbending lsquo2026rsquo. All stick to the script that electronic music should have no boundaries and creativity and feelings are the only things that matter. Highly creative collaborations come from Budapestrsquos Maacuterioacute Domjaacuten a.k.a. Collective Machine and Austriarsquos Philipp Straub, alongside Gabriel Rocha and Juan Carlos Villalbarsquos dynamic Tiefstone vehicle. DNox and Frank Beckers unfurl their distinctive sound steeped in detailed rhythms and mesmerizing harmonies, while a slice of tremendous hypnotic techno comes courtesy of Ryan Davis amp Microtrauma. Bedrock stalwart Phil Thompson under his Moonface moniker brings his unique deeply delicious grooves to the party, grooving perfectly alongside the understated beauty of Greek musical maestro Stelios Vassiloudis, and the heavyhitting techno funk of the legend that is Dave Angel whilst Marc Romboy unleashes his deeply disturbing remix of Emerson, Digweed amp Muirrsquos huge lsquoFanfarersquo. Therersquos also a bounteous array of dynamic club tunes from the likes of Genevabased man with the Midas touch Lee Van Dowski who also adds his remix talents to Eagles amp Butterflies appropriately titled and rather large lsquoMurder Was The Bassrsquo, the firing percussive funk of CJ Jeff, and the acidtinged attitude of Spainrsquos Uner on display. A distinct bonus to the exceptional and diverse talent on display throughout lsquoBedrock 18rsquo is the inclusion of CJayrsquos chilled lsquoEchoesrsquo album as a winddown final disc. CJayrsquos debut artist album lsquoBacksliderrsquo was released on Bedrock back in April 2016 gaining much critical acclaim, and here he presents his next unique artistic step further forward. ldquoItrsquos a really, really personal album hence the album title ndash I think that what one has done in the past, echoes throughout onersquos life. Whatever you do, brings you where you are now. It might be tagged as chillout or ambient music, but actually, its not 100 that, its just me being me, making something no one else does.rdquo ndash CJay Bedrock CD is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £13
