Every tenth release for boe recordings represents a significant achievement for the vinyl-focused record label and the numerical milestone is celebrated with a special release. The thirtieth instalment, BOE XXX is a true family affair with four recognisable boe artists and two new members added in.

Well overdue a return to boe recordings is the mercurial Welsh talent Leif, fresh from dropping his second stunning LP. “That Ice Cream Tune” features those atmospherics and deft percussion touches that Leif is well known for. Moving away from the organic sounds of late Leif opts for a greater focus on the electronics: shuffling and stuttering arpeggiated leads and metallic syncopated hats and snares. Spoken word hums and an ambient lead add that beautiful sheen to the production.

Of the back of solo EPs on boe and Contrast Wax, label boss Ben slots in a deep electro cut, Spectral gate. The soft but weighty kick and snappy analog snares provide the back bone, the delicate & ever shifting landscape of the synth riffs come in and out of focus before the throaty Moog bass takes over. Glossy touches of sweeping synths and a sparkly lead cap off a modern take on a classic electro sound.

Nick Lawson returns to boe with yet another classy example of high-end deep house. Wharf Aquatics bubbles and grooves along with its effervescent dub delayed leads and it’s liquid bass movements. Late night head music.

A closely linked artist to the label, Life Recorder finally gets his debut on boe with a low slung grooving tech houser, Butterflies. Aimed squarely at the dance floor this no-nonsense driving cut pumps and grooves for 7 minutes with its persistent Detroit style hook line.

The D side plays host to newcomer Reedale Rise with Quadrex, a Detroit-esque electro track with DBX style hypnotism thrown in for good measure. Space age themes and Drexiycan like pads play off against shuffling percussion mechanics. At the break, the track takes a turn, the hypotising vocal takes over with dub delays and filtered frequencies take the melody to a trance-inducing finale.

Finally, after many recent contributions to boe 12”s, the steel city techno-forging don John Shima lays down a stunning piece of ambient work in the vein of B12 and those classic industrial sounds called Liberation.
