Jamie Tregurtha what Richard said... fiyah Favorite track: A1.

Richard Pike WTF. Track 1. Jesus. I'm in. Favorite track: A1.

Jascha Narveson If you like cv313, Deepchord, and other deep dub-techno stuff, there's a lot to love about this - the bass is deep, there's a huge sense of space, and the tracks tick along in that perpetual-motion way that this genre's so good at.

The last track has a bit of an Andy Stott edge to it, too. Favorite track: A1.

Phil Latch [LL.M.] Fantastic release. Space Afrika already have created their own distinct sound. Exciting times ahead! Favorite track: Tape Signal.

Above / Below the concrete' is the debut 40 minute offering from Manchester duo 'Space Afrika'. Approaching from a concept based around the industrial architecture in the north west, specifically Manchester, Space Afrika employ a drifting balance of scorched soundscapes, field recordings and rolling dubbed out techno dread.

There is a refreshing element of fearlessness to admire in the duos allowing of these often completely stripped back and expansive works to just roll and roll until they become their own spaces for thought. There is however continuous subtle change within this repetition of the slow stepper, throughout tracks plume towards darkness before reappearing in a new expansive light at the masterful emergence of a new percussion or a precise unfamiliar sound, an idea that is clearly intended and reinforced by the oft field recordings of high speed train travel, evoking that feeling of constantly moving between darkness and light, open and enclosed space.

One for fans of Vladislav Delay, Fluxion, Deepchord, Machinefabriek, Moritz Von Oswald, 7even Records etc.

Nocturnal, dubbed-out ambience - perfect music for late night city walking, or frictionlessly gliding through transit terminals. Fans of the ambient side of classic Basic Channel / Rhythm & Sound, or Deepchord will feel right at home here, though Space Afrika certainly have their own sound. Jascha Narveson

There are so many things I could say about why this album is absolutely perfect. But to keep it short, single-handedly the most depressing album I've listened to, but also the most fantastic album I've listened to. Would highly recommend to anyone willing to give it a listen. mcdoob
