This edition of Drowned in Bristol deviates slightly from the usual sprawling mass of Soundcloud embeds to focus on two excellent self-released debut albums from two of the city's finest, and possibly underrated acts: The Big Naturals and OLO Worms.»
Getting under the skin of electronic experimenters Tri Angle Records, with label founder Robin Corolan and artists Howse, Vessel, Haxan Cloak and Evian Christ. Plus new music from Scuba, Mala, Dusk & Blackdown and loads more...»
Welcome to another edition of armchair dancefloor. Below you'll find 'The Playlist' for a selection of new and forthcoming releases that have caught our eye this month, but first, we speak to one of our favourite, young UK record labels...»

Drowned In Sound's electronic music column returns under new management...»
A somewhat ill-defined end-of-year list of great, Bristol-based music.»
An ambient-electronic and warehouse-raving flavoured edition of Drowned in Bristol, looking at some excellent local album releases and chatting to the team behind In:Motion, ahead of their season launch this weekend.»
Over the past few months there’s been some excellent DIY music videos produced by Bristol musicians, this edition DiB draws on a few of these, plus a round-up of this coming up in the city.»
For all the weirdness and unpredictability the man is in a league of his own. »
Welcome to the second Drowned In Bristol column of the year, hopefully providing a bit of a round-up of a few of the music-related things going on and coming up around the start of the summer.»
There’s a temptation to approach a local column as if you’re writing some sort of musical prospectus - a sort of ‘come to our city ‘cus our city has the best music scene’ manifesto. And, to be fair, Bristol is pretty great but, as with any city »
Everything about Hype Williams – from their playful elusiveness to the rough edges of their music and the way they chose to share it with the world – typifies what make the internet a great platform for music to be discovered and shared. »
Mr Steven Ellison, you continue to make very interesting and enjoyable music – we’re very sorry that we called you aquacrunk.»
As part of our 10-week “DiS is 10!” celebration, we’ve asked 50 of our favourite people to tell us about one of their favourite albums of the past 10 years. This is not a best or "top" list, simply records individuals wished to highlight. Here, DiS contributor Si Truss shares his choice...»
Is having the pop-maverick Matthew Dear of 2010 worth losing the techno maestro of his debut record over?»
It’s rare to find a level of craftsmanship like this on a debut; Mount Kimbie have delivered a strong statement of intent and a record that is certainly a contender for album of the year.»
For the uninitiated Dark Matter is a great entry point into a diverse network of artists well worth exploration. Otherwise it simply stands as a very nice testament to a great half-decade of electronic music.»
Something For Everybody is probably 50 per cent great Devo tracks, 40 per cent decent ones and ten per cent misfire. »
The way they’re heading, their next move could prove to be pretty spectacular.»
The content of Pulled Apart by Horses’ debut may come as no surprise, but that's exactly what you want from this band.»
Monogamy’s wild eclecticism may mean that is too varied to reach the heights of true greatness, and in terms of its exploration of its subject matter it comes nowhere near providing any conclusions in terms of tone, or its bafflingly cryptic, often explicit lyrical content. Yet the album never falls short of being, at the very least, sonically fascinating and if nothing else it serves as a reminder of how great it is that Constellation Records exists as an outlet for this kind of out-there, experimental LP.»
Alright, so maybe nothing across this EP stands out as really great, but it’s certainly all at least pretty good.»
This collection of wobbly basslines and 2-step beats is more of a Wikipedia description of the genre than a showcase of its potential. »
Love or loathe the decline of traditional record shopping this is precisely the sort of record that those ‘buy track’ buttons on iTunes were made for.»
