Laurel Halo, whose real name is Ina Cube, is now releasing an EP under the moniker of King Felix, which was the name of the last EP she released as Laurel Halo. All very confusing, but its shaping up to a wonderful record, full of pulsing ambient techno beats and thick textures. She's been described as a 'future cover star of The Wire' by The Guardian, and its hard to disagree. STRING02 is a heart-ripper of a track, just as it gets going, just as you immerse yourself in its groove, then it pulls the carpet from under your feet and disappears. Probably to accumulate another aliases.

Fiction's new single, Careful, coming out ahead of their debut LP on Moshi Moshi later this year, is produced by James Ford, and shows what remarkable leaps the band have taken in the past year. Restrained and subtle, propelled by a bass line, flecked with claps of percussion, and devastatingly attacked by short blasts of guitar. It whets the appetite beautifully for the new record.

He's an odd one is Bullion; from his wonderfully crafted but utterly undanceable DJ sets, to mixing up Beach Boys and J Dilla on his 'Pet Sounds In The Key of Dee' - which was anything but a standard mash up album, but more a beat-laden abstraction of the original.

He then put out a full length of equally abstract beats on Young Turks called 'You Drive Me To Plastic' in 2010, then a couple of months back dropped 'Say Arr Eee' on his soundcloud and seemed to be totally starting again. Moving away from brain melting hip-hop productions and into an ambient neon fantasy world.

'It's All In Sound' continues that movement, and it owes as much to The Beta Band and Miles Davis as it does to dance music.
