Forward-thinking Dimensions Festival gears up for second run.

As one of the final dates in the festival calendar, the latest addition to Croatia’s coastal party scene has promised a fine coda to the summer since its mouth-watering lineup dropped at the start of the year. Held in the same spot as older sibling Outlook, which celebrated its fifth year the week before Dimensions opened its doors, it’s been billed as a more highbrow offshoot – in place of Fat Freddy’s Drop on the lineup stands Nicolas Jaar, Skream gives way to Carl Craig and there was nary a New Era cap in sight.

Groove Armada

To the uninitiated, Groove Armada's return to making underground house music might appear something of a change in direction. It is, of course, nothing of the sort. Andy Cato and Tom Findlay have found themselves, thanks to a solid decade of commercial success, stuffed clumsily into all manner of pigeon holes; from dance-pop to pop-dance to chill-out to stadium-dance to ragga-dance and any number of other sub genres you might care to mention.

This month's underground bombs

An underrated talent on the UK tech house scene, Sam Russo's new one is going to win him plaudits. Stripped back, sinewy but indelibly groovy, 'Sue Press' — with its crisp, off-beat percussion — is a swirling cauldron of heady analogue-driven house. 'Vanishing Test' pushes deeper on the pads, while giving the 909 a workout. On the flip, Jordan Peak and MRSK add to excellent re-rubs, but the real magic lies on the a-side.
