Picked up the Chris de Luca 12" on Choc. Ind before Xmas - quite nice. 
Not too much Ae-esq madness so the other melodious elements get a chance 
to shine through. Even better is the new Arovane on Din. Again, kind of 
Autechre-esq but this one is so melancholy and intricate, it creates its 
own space. Very good.

Yes if you like techno from a few years back mixed damn well (doubling 
up, all the tricks). Done in one take unlike most mix CDs which get 
edited around before release.

I'd go with that - some of the beats are distorted and there are quite a 
few of those cute high-end sine-wave melodies. Its more the sounds used 
than track structure and stuff though I'd say.

It got repressed with a white sleeve (original sleeve was a 12" mailer 
with stamp and braille). Definitely worth picking up, one of my 
favourite Skams.

Yes. Most of the tracks on the Radio promo were remixes I think.
