With all this recent talk of Smalltown Supersound, one would be forgiven for thinking there was a global conspiracy behind their ubiquity. With incredible records from Lindstrøm and Tussle still fresh in our minds, we now have news of a debut album from Four Tet collaborators RocketNumberNine.

Released on Smalltown Supersound, Lindstrøm‘s ‘Smalhans’ differs somewhat from its proggy, leftfield predecessor, ‘Six Cups Of Rebel’. With antiquated disco synths shimmering over a deep and luscious low end, ‘Smallhans’ is an immediate return to the dancefloor, recorded straight after ‘Six ‘Cups.
Lindstrøm and Oneohtrix Point Never might not seem like the perfect collaboration at first glance, but when you consider the former’s new approach on his latest album ‘Six Cups Of Rebel’ it begins to make sense. Discarding the usual disco basslines and pop hooks in favour of what he considers prog-rock-influenced techno, Lindstrøm’s music takes on an entirely different feel, especially once reworked by Oneohtrix Point Never.
Having not released anything of note since 2009′s collaborative LP with Christabelle, Lindstrøm is set to return with a new album entitled ‘Six Cups Of Rebel’. The new album is set for an early 2012 release on Smalltown Supersound.
