The Week’s Best Vinyl Releases Posted: 19 Jul 2014 07:48 AM PDT Few people are onto great records as quickly as a great record store. After years spent discovering gems in Phonica's end of year lists, it made sense to give them a regular space on FACT. Every Saturday, Phonica staff will pick out the five vinyl records you should grab this week. D.K. Drop (Antinote) Lo-fi pool party house with an edge of foggy psychedelia from Parisian producer D.K., whose eight-track album for Antinote mines territory not far removed from the boogie-vibing jams found on current favourites like Mood Hut and Future Times.

Todd Osborn: "5thep" Posted: 11 Feb 2014 02:19 PM PST Ypsilanti, Michigan’s Todd Osborn is one of those mildly chameleonic producers who pops up in different places under different names making different sounds, most of them in the orbit of disco and house. (His “arena metal” project, Musk, is strictly cassette-only.) “5thep” is from the Michigan Dream EP, his first release since last July’s "Hold Up", a pining, mid-tempo collaboration with Hot Chip's Joe Goddard. As is Osborn’s m.o., it’s a shift in tone, from something spare and lonely to something bruising and compact, trading the mellow upper register of Goddard’s voice for a slurry of samples and brash acid-house keyboards. Like Tessela’s addictive “Hackney Parrot”, “5thep” is a recent highlight from the dance/techno world that forgoes smoothness for music that sounds big, blocky and covered in seams—an approach that in 1994 would’ve been a byproduct of software but in 2014 is a decisive choice.
