HOUSE/TECHNO/DISCO........
IDLE018CD – Outboxx – Outboxx – CD $⑨
It’s been exciting to watch Outboxx take shape over the past two years, chasing their vision for a more meaningful kind of deep house music via Jake’s intense attention to detail, Matt’s way with the keys and Naomi’s arresting voice. It’s been a steady progression, reaching out to select labels but keeping things largely close to home on Idle Hands, Immerse and BRSTL, while their tracks have developed in ever more confident strides.They make perfect sense as a Bristol act, but not because of an externally idealised vision of a Bristol house music scene, but more because their music taps into the same spirit of adventure and soulfulness that has always characterised the most treasured of all music from the city. Like many before them, Outboxx have a gift for capturing emotion and anchoring it with just the right amount of rudeness.It feels like the right time then for an album from the pa ir, and upon listening to it you can instantly hear why. Afforded the space of a long player, Jake and Matt’s ideas flourish, both more refined and wilder in the same instance. The tempos move from lo-fi downtempo skit to pumped up house, via haunted minimal techno and snappy garage, and yet the shifts seem barely noticeable between the cohesive sound that they have formed.Most importantly, it’s a record that sounds completely out on its own, marrying together disparate sounds and rhythms and making them sound natural. It’s a great testament to how far Outboxx have come in short space of time, and an equally exciting pointer to what might come in the future.

MAN001 – Sui Generis – Sui Generis EP – 12″ Vinyl $⑨
Sui Generis’s sound is born from a love of underground London basement raves such as Jaded at (Cable) and Fuse (93 Feet East). His music draws as much inspiration from those hedonistic parties as it draws from the early foundations of soulful Chicago house music and dark, techno influences from Detroit.Sui is receiving early support from key figures such as Jackmaster (Nmbrs), Eats Everything, B Traits (Radio 1), Breach (Naked Naked), Dusky (Schl Rcrds) and Route 94, whom he has been collaborating with on projects that are forthcoming on Mansion Music. Skream recently included a number of Sui Generis tracks in his recent Miami mix compilation together with house veteran Pete Tong on Defected Records.Up next on Mansion fresh music from Ivory D’or, Electric Apache and Sui Generis Vs Route 94.

NKD005 – Dusky – Vanishing Point EP – 12″ Vinyl $⑨
Naked Naked label boss, Breach, calls upon 2012’s breakthrough house and techno talent, Dusky, for the latest EP offering from the imprint. Focused on championing strictly UK sounds, it was only a matter of time before Naked Naked featured the London duo, whose blend of both classic and new school approaches to house (with an unremitting emphasis on bass) epitomizes what’s relevant and unique in British output right now. Dusky’s latest release, ‘Nobody Else’ on Aus Music, saw the pair storm to the top of the Beatport deep house chart, with no sign of stepping down any time soon.The double sided EP opens with title track ‘Vanishing Point’, a kick driven, subtle-yet-vigorous bass line laden house beat that opens up into a young love-yearning work out thanks to Dusky’s characteristically masterful vocal sample work. Without detracting from the sof t chord pads and static synth work, the pitched down vocal yearns with streetwise sensuality, suggesting it’ll soon be attaining the same dance floor filling status that ‘Flo Jam’ enjoyed one year previous. B-side ‘Truth Capital T’ showcases Dusky’s techier (big T) side, as drums punch with that knowing, warehouse inspired hollowness, thumping towards a wonderfully carved out groove which instantly attests to the duo’s authenticity. Classic floor pounding is softened by delicate key notes and vivid cow bells while Dusky work both a spoken word sample and a familiar soulful ‘ohhh’ into the mix. ‘Vanishing Point’ shows Dusky at their very best; carving out new rules in what it means to produce UK house and techno, and never falling into copycat territory. Available on digital and very limited, hand stamped 180gram vinyl, NKD005 is released on June 3rd 2013. A ‘Vanishing Point (Deeper mix)’ is available on digital only.

Sales Notes:
Roundtree could be the alias of a very well known (perhaps legendary) producer who might want to remain anonymous. We're not saying, or perhaps we just did, I'm not sure. Anyhow, two rather crisp housers on offer here, 'G-String Diva' with it's sharp as nails percussion and female spoken vocal which lends the track a nicely sleazy edge and 'No Need For the V' with it's prominent baseline driven grove. Enjoy!

Tracklisting:
A1. Holdie Gawn - Hypoferm
B1. Micawber - Senso
Sales Notes:
Just as summer arrives, Sylphe’s bosses Holdie Gawn & Micawber are delivering their third EP ‘’Hypoferm\Senso’’. On the A Side ‘’Hypoferm’’ has Holdie Gawn’s trademark sound, with analogue bouncy warm snares and hi-hats, accompanied by synthesized modulations and raw filtering action, forming a chuggy, sleek rhythm with deep reaching basslines and a lot of movement. On the flip, Micawber’s ‘’Senso’’ offers a tribute to experimental composer John Cage by incorporating parts of his vocal works into creating a landscape of mysticism, riding along sub-bass tones and syncopated drums, an afterhours number with a psychedelic twist . We will be pressing only 500 of these.

Cat: HM002
Format: 12"
Price: $ ①①
Tracklisting:
A1. Driftin’
A2. Penthouse Dub
B1. Jackin Pschidt
B2. Pavement K
Sales Notes:
This second Hobbes Music release is an introduction to the productions of labelowner Hobbes and studio partner Leonidas. It sees the pair harness a love of classic disco, techno, electro, acid, house and UK bass/dub, to create an EP with one foot in the past, one foot in the future and both eyes aimed squarely at the dance floor.
A1) Driftin’ employs a vintage gospel sample and a bank of equally vintage synths (ARP Odyssey, Roland Juno 106, Roland SH101, Sequential Circuits ProOne) for a very contemporary, hybrid mix of UK bass and house. This track has already had airplay from Rob Da Bank (BBC Radio 1), proved popular on Soundcloud and has been dropping extremely well when played out, so we think you’ll agree it’s rather special!
A2) Penthouse Dub is a more spacious composition. Classic disco congas and a delaysoaked guitar line recall the Balearic style of Norwegian modern disco don Todd Terje, then the vintage (Sequential Circuits Prophet T8) synth lines drop... The title is a nod to Heaven 17’s classic album, Penthouse & Pavement a key reference point during this track’s production.
B1) Jackin’ Pschidt treads a more European path, referencing Belgium’s late Eighties Nu Beat scene via its drum programming and acid line, with a heavily arpeggiated synth for its euphoric main riff and classic Nineties techno claps driving the beat home. A vocal refrain, compelling you to ‘break it down: get into the groove’, is as simple a call to action as any you’ll find in dance music. But, again, it’s the track’s bassline which will really get people moving thei r bodies: no fuss, few effects, just simple dancefloor dynamics. This mix has also proved popular on Soundcloud and been dropping well when played out. The title is a nod to a certain Chicago legend...
B2) Referencing afterhours parties in dingey warehouse spaces, Pavement K flips the script completely, slowing things down and spacing them out all heavy reverb, plodding kicks and atmospheric toms that ring out like some tribal gong in an old Kurosawa film. The bass stabs are as fierce as anything DMZ have put their name to, while the acid line and skittering hats are closer to early Plastikman. The brief vocal snatches are hardly any less abstract, before more waves of bass wash moodily over you and that familiar voice returns to let you know about ‘a lot of machines, tapes and electronic setups....’ Watch yer bass bins!
Artist: Mr. G
Title: Mr. G EP
Label: Contemporary Scarecrow
Cat: CS002
Format: 12"
Price: $①①
Tracklisting:
A1. Potent
A2. Dancefloor
B1. Tune In
B2. Seapuss
Sales Notes:
Australia’s most exciting new export Contemporary Scarecrow makes a triumphant return this June with a four tracker from Mr. G, following the labels critically acclaimed debut from Boo Williams.
The Contemporary Scarecrow brand takes on two forms, record label, and clothing company, delivering uncompromising quality in both fields. The imprints inaugural EP from Chicago house veteran Boo Williams picked up support from the likes of Lawrence, Jovonn, Hunee, Phil Weeks and Sascha Dive, a striking indication of the sheer quality embodied from the get go. Here the second release welcomes Rekids and Hypercolour artist Mr. G aka Colin McBean, a man whose prominence in the house and techno industry over the years has never faltered and who consistently delivers refreshing, analogue workouts, regardless of the format.
The release kicks off with ‘Potent’, which sees Colin employ his signature gritty, shuffled analogue drums, raw chord stabs and a bulbous tom-driven bass line as the driving force. Subtle variations in the stabs and vocal snippets further fuel the infectious groove, resulting in a dark peak-time number. Next up is ‘Dancefloor’, and as the name would suggest, it’s a direct, hooky rhythm aimed at the discerning house head, with saw wave bass, soul-laden vocals a nd penetrating chord sequences.
On the flip side, Mr. G drops ‘Tune In’, tipping its focus towards a more refined, deeper sound, with sparse drums, heavily reverberated vocal murmurs and subby low-end tones, the focal point introduces a warm, cossetting organ hook, bringing some additional musicality to the cut. Last up to close the release is ‘Seapuss’, which winds down the EP in a dark and moody fashion, the dropped-tempo number focuses on punchy lowslung drums, elongated bass-lines and swirling white noise to create a profound atmospheric record with a hypnotic, psychedelic feel.

NZ023 – Subtension – Black Haze – 12″ Vinyl $⑨
Following on from his well received ‘Reaction’ release alongside Borderline on our ‘Code Of Honour’ Compilation, 20 year old Slovakian Mário Dočekal aka Subtension was set the task of completing his debut 12″ single for Samurai Music. One of the most original sounding producers Samurai had heard for some time, it was not long before ‘Black Haze’ and ‘Changes’ appeared and were signed for the single. Haunting ambience and potent carving riffs set on top of crunching, powerful drums and chest shaking bass have become his trademark, and these 2 tunes serve as a perfect CV for the Subtension style. ‘Inner Man’ came later, and after dominating dancefloors with it’s gyrating rhythm was added as a digital exclusive to complete the package. DJ support from Klute, Ulterior Motive, Nymfo, BTK, John B, Xtrah, Trei, Fre4knc, Presha and more. Limited ‘Purple Haze’ vinyl 2 track 12″ & 2 track digital release.

PM026 – Paradox – Drum Machine / Core Jungle – 12″ Vinyl $⑨
Transparent turquoise vinyl. Dev Pandya drops his 149th career vinyl in the shape of the b-boy hip hop influenced ‘Drum Machine’. Sharp breakbeats step forward, sideways and roll with female rap vocals that get the feet shuffling to Drum Machine’s unique groove. Rumbling subs and cuts of distorted bass hold everything bolt tight with intricate effects, stabs and vocal riffs. Random twists and turns lead the mix into a vocal breakdown where the drums u-turn into a funk assault of Drum and Bass. The flipside ‘Core Jungle’ highlights Paradox’s early hardcore roots with vinyl-rip samples, crunchy funk breaks and raggamuffin fx delays that take you back to the birth of Pandya’s jungle influences. Core Jungle was written specifically for vinyl mastering and will not be available digitally. Exclusively for the analogue crew!

Blu Mar Ten Music (BMTM) is a home for the beautiful and the ugly, the elegant and the awkward, the euphoric and the melancholy. The seventh release in this new chapter is brought to us by upcoming Estonian producer, Thing who joins BMTM with his trademark tribal, dubbed out audio. The sound of the frozen North. Renew: An intro of pulsing kicks and Arabesque claps drops into what can only be described as Gothic-Dancehall. Renew’s driving bassline underpins a matrix of skittering percussion and dubby fx being fed into a cavernous reverb, all working together to create an intimidating monolith of a track. Outer Lands: Picking up where Renew leaves off, Outer Lands builds layer upon layer of relentless bass while shadowy vocal transmissions and howling strings burst over the top. This moody little number instantly transforms any club into a long dark tunnel.

JOA001 – The Dream Team – Joker Project Vol 1(The Return Of The Joker) Part 1 – 12″ Vinyl $①①
“Joker Records originated in the middle of the jungle explosion of the mid 90’s and continued to lead its own way of dance floor orientated beats for many years an era wen labels such as RAM, Urban Takeover and Philly Blunt Were Formed & was considered to be an incredibly important part of the early drum and bass/Jungle scene. Much of the output from the label received DJ support from the scene’s biggest players, & At The Time The Riddler was championed by Nicky Blackmarket ,and Kenny Ken. Many tracks signed to Joker Records used samples from popular US Hip Hop records such as Vanilla Ice’s Ice Ice Baby and Busta Rhymes’s Bus-A-Bus. A sample from the main theme to Star Wars was cleverly reworked for the collaboration with Surburban Base Records under the title Star Warz. This was a favorite intro tune for Ellis D for what seemed like an eternity in 1997.” Forward 2013 & Bladerunner ,Daffy ,Gold-Dubs (Of Arie s & Gold) ,Soulculture ,Billy Daniel Bunter, Slipmatt & Cabin Fever U.K step up to take on one of jungle/D&B’s fav classic labels back catalogue and get stuck in to bringing some of the the dream teams Classic bangers back to the fore front of today’s scene…….

Amsterdam's Stefan Vincent unleashes these four gems into the world. Both "Conflate Four" and "Five" are about as trippy as it gets, reminding us of the golden '90s era of psychedelic Detroit and Berlin techno. Stefan showcases a different side of himself on "Fool Me Again" and "Welder." Two downtempo, electronic, ambient cuts. "Welder" embraces futuristic synths and abstract, alienating sound design, while "Fool Me Again" is Detroit melancholy at its best: try and not get goosebumps.

"HydroPump": Die & Addison Grooveforce-fed the SP1200 with a secret '90s nutrient formula, creating the pair's first-ever collaboration. No spider mite here.

BLEACHING AGENT: Contour Grip 12" (KOMISCH 014EP)
Bleaching Agent makes his Komisch debut with an unforgettable three-tracker. "Compere" sees the shadowy producer stray into a space inhabited by Shed's "Equalized" project, but Bleaching Agent's blasts of icy chords and insistent percussion, coupled with its wiry, skipping rhythm make for a more forceful, austere result. "Jain" has shades of classic Beltram as a ferocious low-end writhes menacingly over waves of jittery hi-hats and percussive ticks. "Twwpk" sees Bleaching Agent pare back his sound; spooky stabs and cheesewire percussion build and drop.

Once again, John Tejada ups the ante, delivering highly nourishing chows for your daily shellacking needs, with a powerful 12" that starts to nestle in your ears the very moment you drop the needle. "Somewhere" dispatches a robot sleuth to hunt down the ghost in the machine. However, what started as a simple recon mission quickly evolves into a deliciously pumping affair set for utter dancefloor destruction. "Elsewhere" is a slow-burning heartcore stepper hiding its massive bass line in full sight.

SCHWELLENBACH, GREGOR: Spielt 20 Jahre Kompakt CD (KOMP 108CD)
From the borderlands between faux pop and cheerful science comes Cologne's multi-instrumentalist Gregor Schwellenbach, who separated 20 label classics from their dance roots and re-recorded them as chamber music. The sophisticated arrangements, which the studied composer Gregor Schwellenbach writes for everything, have been primarily adorning the landscapes of theater, film, radio and television so far. Now, the master of over a thousand instruments has submitted his pop-experimental expertise for Kompakt's back-catalog, radically shifting up some of the numerous evergreens hiding in there. Not only aficionados of musical synthesis are likely to rub their ears in wonder, when internationally-celebrated techno bangers like Voigt & Voigt's "Vision 03" or Mayer/Voigt's "Less Than Zero" suddenly beguile the frequency spectrum as beatless, melancholic piano miniatures. The multi-talented musician also gets help from other, equally adept artists, who put their personality and virtuosity in the service of the unusual task at hand: with flutist Dorothee Oberlinger, a veritable star of the classical music scene enters the stage, but also guitarist Christian Buck or harpist Jane Berthe are well recognized in their respective fields, normally performing the likes of Steve Reich and Claude Debussy to a delighted audience. The instruments used in the recordings happen to be stars, too: for example, there's a rare GDR-built keyboard called "Weltmeister Basset" that contributes to a re-arranged "Everlasting" from Kaito, an old studio harmonium whose hypnotic whisper can be heard on Closer Musik's revamped "On Two Three (No Gravity)," or the epic "Kyai Sangu" used for Voigt & Voigt's "Gong Audio," a Gamelan orchestra found at Cologne's Rautenstrauch-Joest museum. Usually, Kompakt's weapon of choice is the straight bass drum, with its minimalist beauty fueling their dialectics. But they never wanted to become strict guardians of an imagined holy grail, a fact clearly recognized by Gregor, who gives a new voice to each of the selected tracks, in order to be able to tell new stories. With surprisingly rephrased acoustic versions of seminal tracks like Jürgen Paape's "Triumph" (for prepared piano), Justus Köhncke's "Was Ist Musik" (for string quartet), or Closer Musik's "Maria" (for piano), the artist makes some pretty bold assertions while managing to retain the core of the experience -- the melody, the hook, the feeling -- while making it shine in new splendor. Deluxe hardbound packaging with a booklet of sheet music.

MILES: Unsecured 12" (LOVE 084EP)
Miles' returns with a half-hour EP of new material more squarely aimed at the floor with four darkened, robust variants. "Blatant Statement" slowly emerges from a rough alignment of metallic percussion and abrasive stabs you'd most likely associate with Vatican Shadow, before super-warm bass stabs shifts the perspective. "Technocracy" delivers an oozing house deconstruction, while "Infinite Jest" revolves around an industrial cacophony somewhere between technofied Pete Swanson and a sweaty Kassem Mosse. "Plutocracy" is a bleached-out warehouse chug surrounded by a submerged choral arrangement.

DJ KOZE: Kosi Comes Around CD (PAMPA 009CD)
Now in 2013 shortly after dropping DJ Koze's sophomore albumAmygdala, Pampa Records is proud to finally re-release the sold-out masterpiece Kosi Comes Around, alongside two bonus tracks. It was back in 2005, shortly after having erupted over the past year with a slew of 12" singles that have captivated DJs world-wide, the current insanity over his alter-ego Adolf Noise, and least we forget, one of the most adventurous mix CDs of all time, 2004's All People Is My Friends, DJ Koze moved forward with his highly-anticipated, solo debut full-length entitled Kosi Comes Around. This may sound overly dramatic to state, but DJ Koze was truly there to give the world a piece of his mind -- and the facts were blatantly presented on this album. Stefan Kozalla aka DJ Koze was a revolutionist and proved beyond reasonable doubt on Kosi Comes Around that nobody else was able to load music up with so much madness yet balance it gingerly with love and warmth. He possessed a true determination to bring house back to its utopian place once again, conjuring old school phantoms. Kosi Comes Around was his manifesto -- a call for all milquetoasts of the world to stand up and unite.

Robag shifts Vondelpark's pop tune further into dubbed-out DJ tool territory with "Habay Latoff NB."

KALABRESE: Independent Dancer CD (RUMP 002CD)
Sacha Winkler aka Kalabrese is a curious tastemaker and bold musical force that dares to tread the murky waters between indie and electronica, playfully emphasizing vocals on song-based productions and presenting an album that pushes the limits and portrays dance music in a peculiar and natural way. Inspired by blues, funk, and all those beautiful dancers and tragic heroes of the night, Independent Dancer is laced with curiosity and fever-inducing productions. Following his 2007 debut album Rumpelzirkus (STATT 002CD), a critically-acclaimed project that was followed by performances at infamous festivals like Sónar, Mutek in Montreal, and Transmediale in Berlin, as well as playing nearly every club basement in Europe with his live-project Rumpelorchester, Kalabrese returns with a masterpiece. Sounding like a soundtrack from James Murphy (in fact Kalabrese played back-to-back with the LCD Soundsystem lead man in 2012) andNicolas Jaar, who featured his epic blues solo "Desperate Man" on his own Resident Advisor podcast, Independent Dancer commences with an almost euphoric and certainly unpretentious spirit. "Purple Rose" steps out downbeat with Sarah Palin, the newest Rumpel discovery, singing an astonishing duet with Kala, an almost country-like creation with ringing bells from the Alps and a hypnotic house beat crashing behind. Kalabrese recruits friend and mentor, A.C. Kupper (who also designed the cover) to sing "Let the Good Times Roll," taking his falsetto voice and overlaying chunky beats and a captivating synth-line, inspiring the urge to dance in only the most sincere way. Independent Dancer varies in tempo and rhythm throughout, from the wonderful airy ballad of "Stone On Your Back" with its cello parts played by Dominik Löhrer and light bossanova rhythm, juxtaposed with "Wanzka," an active, swinging Afro-groove gem with mind-blowing, lyrical brass parts courtesy of Michael Flury and Benjamin Danech. Guest singer Khan from Berlin can be heard on the hypnotic, Arabic-inspired bonus track "Feeling Me" and also on "Desperate Man," on which Rumpel-member Marton di Katzrocks a crazy groove with bass line sensations. Towards the conclusion, Kalabrese extols the Sihl Valley with "Sihltal," a punchy disco tune spiked with melancholy and expressing a soft wish of togetherness. At all times, Independent Dancer orbits the moment, encapsulating where the dancer unites with the music and forgets the rest of the world.

 | Neville Watson | Songs To Elevate Pure Hearts | Creme | Crlp10 | 2x12inch | $②③ | ||
English producer and DJ Neville Watson will release his debut album on Dutch label Crème Organization in May 2013. Entitled Songs To Elevate Pure Hearts, it sees Watson explore similar ground to that of the EPs he has released on labels like Teng and Clone Jack For Daze dating back a whole decade. Watson, who also set up Windsor’s much loved Mighty Atom record store and label, has become synonymous with re-interpreting classic Chicago house sounds in his own heavily analogue way. His productions often deal in an authentic rawness and roughness, whilst as a live specialist he has been much in demand in recent times thanks to boundary nudging outings at clubs around Europe with Bulgarian partner in Crime, KiNK. The album offers eleven tracks, kicking off with the serene ‘Dark Star’ before immediately getting fractious with the twisted lines and crisp percussion of the title track. Though containing plenty of material for the dancefloor, so too is this a carefully programmed trip that takes you up as well as down, with the likes of ‘The Girl From Kowloon Tong’ exploring beat-less, melodically intoxicating territory between harder hitting joints like the widescreen, dubby techno of ‘Against The Tide’ and controlled, machine frenzy of ‘Everything I Know About House (I Learnt On Facebook)’. Tracks like ‘Axiomatic’ prove Watson as adept at crafting occult moods and unusual feelings as he is the more physical beats and classicist stylings of the ode to real house music that is ‘Son of House’. Taking you up, down, backwards and forwards through time and space, ‘Songs To Elevate Pure Hearts’ does exactly what the title suggests, no matter how pure your heart.

It’s been exciting to watch Outboxx take shape over the past two years, chasing their vision for a more meaningful kind of deep house music via Jake’s intense attention to detail, Matt’s way with the keys and Naomi’s arresting voice. It’s been a steady progression, reaching out to select labels but keeping things largely close to home on Idle Hands, Immerse and BRSTL, while their tracks have developed in ever more confident strides.They make perfect sense as a Bristol act, but not because of an externally idealised vision of a Bristol house music scene, but more because their music taps into the same spirit of adventure and soulfulness that has always characterised the most treasured of all music from the city. Like many before them, Outboxx have a gift for capturing emotion and anchoring it with just the right amount of rudeness.It feels like the right time then for an album from the pa ir, and upon listening to it you can instantly hear why. Afforded the space of a long player, Jake and Matt’s ideas flourish, both more refined and wilder in the same instance. The tempos move from lo-fi downtempo skit to pumped up house, via haunted minimal techno and snappy garage, and yet the shifts seem barely noticeable between the cohesive sound that they have formed.Most importantly, it’s a record that sounds completely out on its own, marrying together disparate sounds and rhythms and making them sound natural. It’s a great testament to how far Outboxx have come in short space of time, and an equally exciting pointer to what might come in the future.

MAN001 – Sui Generis – Sui Generis EP – 12″ Vinyl $⑨
Sui Generis’s sound is born from a love of underground London basement raves such as Jaded at (Cable) and Fuse (93 Feet East). His music draws as much inspiration from those hedonistic parties as it draws from the early foundations of soulful Chicago house music and dark, techno influences from Detroit.Sui is receiving early support from key figures such as Jackmaster (Nmbrs), Eats Everything, B Traits (Radio 1), Breach (Naked Naked), Dusky (Schl Rcrds) and Route 94, whom he has been collaborating with on projects that are forthcoming on Mansion Music. Skream recently included a number of Sui Generis tracks in his recent Miami mix compilation together with house veteran Pete Tong on Defected Records.Up next on Mansion fresh music from Ivory D’or, Electric Apache and Sui Generis Vs Route 94.

NKD005 – Dusky – Vanishing Point EP – 12″ Vinyl $⑨
Naked Naked label boss, Breach, calls upon 2012’s breakthrough house and techno talent, Dusky, for the latest EP offering from the imprint. Focused on championing strictly UK sounds, it was only a matter of time before Naked Naked featured the London duo, whose blend of both classic and new school approaches to house (with an unremitting emphasis on bass) epitomizes what’s relevant and unique in British output right now. Dusky’s latest release, ‘Nobody Else’ on Aus Music, saw the pair storm to the top of the Beatport deep house chart, with no sign of stepping down any time soon.The double sided EP opens with title track ‘Vanishing Point’, a kick driven, subtle-yet-vigorous bass line laden house beat that opens up into a young love-yearning work out thanks to Dusky’s characteristically masterful vocal sample work. Without detracting from the sof t chord pads and static synth work, the pitched down vocal yearns with streetwise sensuality, suggesting it’ll soon be attaining the same dance floor filling status that ‘Flo Jam’ enjoyed one year previous. B-side ‘Truth Capital T’ showcases Dusky’s techier (big T) side, as drums punch with that knowing, warehouse inspired hollowness, thumping towards a wonderfully carved out groove which instantly attests to the duo’s authenticity. Classic floor pounding is softened by delicate key notes and vivid cow bells while Dusky work both a spoken word sample and a familiar soulful ‘ohhh’ into the mix. ‘Vanishing Point’ shows Dusky at their very best; carving out new rules in what it means to produce UK house and techno, and never falling into copycat territory. Available on digital and very limited, hand stamped 180gram vinyl, NKD005 is released on June 3rd 2013. A ‘Vanishing Point (Deeper mix)’ is available on digital only.

Anyhow, two rather crisp housers on offer here, 'G-String Diva' with it's sharp as nails percussion and female spoken vocal which lends the track a nicely sleazy edge and 'No Need For the V' with it's prominent baseline driven grove.

Sales Notes:
Just as summer arrives, Sylphe’s bosses Holdie Gawn & Micawber are delivering their third EP ‘’Hypoferm\Senso’’. On the A Side ‘’Hypoferm’’ has Holdie Gawn’s trademark sound, with analogue bouncy warm snares and hi-hats, accompanied by synthesized modulations and raw filtering action, forming a chuggy, sleek rhythm with deep reaching basslines and a lot of movement. On the flip, Micawber’s ‘’Senso’’ offers a tribute to experimental composer John Cage by incorporating parts of his vocal works into creating a landscape of mysticism, riding along sub-bass tones and syncopated drums, an afterhours number with a psychedelic twist . We will be pressing only 500 of these.

B2. Pavement K
Sales Notes:
This second Hobbes Music release is an introduction to the productions of labelowner Hobbes and studio partner Leonidas. It sees the pair harness a love of classic disco, techno, electro, acid, house and UK bass/dub, to create an EP with one foot in the past, one foot in the future and both eyes aimed squarely at the dance floor.
A1) Driftin’ employs a vintage gospel sample and a bank of equally vintage synths (ARP Odyssey, Roland Juno 106, Roland SH101, Sequential Circuits ProOne) for a very contemporary, hybrid mix of UK bass and house. This track has already had airplay from Rob Da Bank (BBC Radio 1), proved popular on Soundcloud and has been dropping extremely well when played out, so we think you’ll agree it’s rather special!
A2) Penthouse Dub is a more spacious composition. Classic disco congas and a delaysoaked guitar line recall the Balearic style of Norwegian modern disco don Todd Terje, then the vintage (Sequential Circuits Prophet T8) synth lines drop... The title is a nod to Heaven 17’s classic album, Penthouse & Pavement a key reference point during this track’s production.
B1) Jackin’ Pschidt treads a more European path, referencing Belgium’s late Eighties Nu Beat scene via its drum programming and acid line, with a heavily arpeggiated synth for its euphoric main riff and classic Nineties techno claps driving the beat home. A vocal refrain, compelling you to ‘break it down: get into the groove’, is as simple a call to action as any you’ll find in dance music. But, again, it’s the track’s bassline which will really get people moving thei r bodies: no fuss, few effects, just simple dancefloor dynamics. This mix has also proved popular on Soundcloud and been dropping well when played out. The title is a nod to a certain Chicago legend...
B2) Referencing afterhours parties in dingey warehouse spaces, Pavement K flips the script completely, slowing things down and spacing them out all heavy reverb, plodding kicks and atmospheric toms that ring out like some tribal gong in an old Kurosawa film. The bass stabs are as fierce as anything DMZ have put their name to, while the acid line and skittering hats are closer to early Plastikman. The brief vocal snatches are hardly any less abstract, before more waves of bass wash moodily over you and that familiar voice returns to let you know about ‘a lot of machines, tapes and electronic setups....’ Watch yer bass bins!

Sales Notes:
Australia’s most exciting new export Contemporary Scarecrow makes a triumphant return this June with a four tracker from Mr. G, following the labels critically acclaimed debut from Boo Williams.
The Contemporary Scarecrow brand takes on two forms, record label, and clothing company, delivering uncompromising quality in both fields. The imprints inaugural EP from Chicago house veteran Boo Williams picked up support from the likes of Lawrence, Jovonn, Hunee, Phil Weeks and Sascha Dive, a striking indication of the sheer quality embodied from the get go. Here the second release welcomes Rekids and Hypercolour artist Mr. G aka Colin McBean, a man whose prominence in the house and techno industry over the years has never faltered and who consistently delivers refreshing, analogue workouts, regardless of the format.
The release kicks off with ‘Potent’, which sees Colin employ his signature gritty, shuffled analogue drums, raw chord stabs and a bulbous tom-driven bass line as the driving force. Subtle variations in the stabs and vocal snippets further fuel the infectious groove, resulting in a dark peak-time number. Next up is ‘Dancefloor’, and as the name would suggest, it’s a direct, hooky rhythm aimed at the discerning house head, with saw wave bass, soul-laden vocals a nd penetrating chord sequences.
On the flip side, Mr. G drops ‘Tune In’, tipping its focus towards a more refined, deeper sound, with sparse drums, heavily reverberated vocal murmurs and subby low-end tones, the focal point introduces a warm, cossetting organ hook, bringing some additional musicality to the cut. Last up to close the release is ‘Seapuss’, which winds down the EP in a dark and moody fashion, the dropped-tempo number focuses on punchy lowslung drums, elongated bass-lines and swirling white noise to create a profound atmospheric record with a hypnotic, psychedelic feel.
Here it comes,the Return of Pedro Winter...

"STILL BUSY" is about still being excited after 10 years whilst searching for the perfect beat. Even though I make repetitive music, our motto since day one has been to ‘challenge ourselves.’ Ed Banger records is 10 years old this year. Strafe "Set it off" is 30 years old... I wanted to make something influenced by the very early years of my love story with electronic music. Thunderbird Gerard spitted it perfectly, adding his twist and took this track to another dimension.

ROYAL-T: I Know You Want Me EP 12" (RINSE 024EP)
Royal T's first release for Rinse since 2012's Rinse Presents: Royal Tfinds the young grime producer in fine, rowdy form. "I Know You Want Me" is a powerful, future-shocked hybrid that melds the swing of speed garage and two-step with grime's bumpy bass blasts. "Saints" is a classic, handclap-led grime tune, driven along by pirouetting synth arpeggios. "Inside the Ride VIP" inverts "Inside the Ride," turning it into a chaotic, scattergun version of the focused original. "Koopa Shell" is where grime atmospheres meet trap rhythms.

KODE9: Rinse: 22 CD (RINSE 031CD)
Rinse: 22 marks the beginning of a new era for Rinse FM's iconic mix CD series. Where previous installments have featured only DJs who regularly play on the station at the time of release, the mix series now casts its net wider. Future installments will also feature DJs who are respected pioneers of the sounds that Rinse FM plays and represents, and Kode9 -- founder of the iconic Hyperdub label, and with his long personal involvement with Rinse FM -- is an ideal figure with which to make that transition. The mix is a vibrant snapshot of the DJing approach he's been developing recently, drawing from an ever-broader range of styles. It opens with bounding, sub-heavy house and funky, before tracing an almost subliminal increase in tempo through trap-inspired hip-hop instrumentals and footwork. The mix is a thrilling and visceral exploration of rhythm and texture, where eddies of percussion and rogue rips of sub-bass swirl around and into one another, keeping the mix in continual, anxious motion. Grimey strings and gloopy synth melodies from DVA and Champion curl around Jam City's juddering rhythms and the soured bass-blasts of Joy O's anthemic "BRTHTT." Later, RP Boo's sinister "Steamidity" sharply cuts across into angular footwork territory for a final frenetic half-hour of rhythmic free-for-all, where DJ Rashad is a key presence, his tracks dicing soul samples into expressive new configurations. Three brand-new Kode9 tracks appear on Rinse: 22 -- of which "Uh" is set to be released as an accompanying single, backed with a brand-new exclusive track. Artists include: Burial,Theo Parrish, Morgan Zarate (feat. Roses Gabor), Titonton, Alex Parkinson & Chris Lorenzo, Funkystepz, Terror Danjah & Champion, Kuedo, Visionist, Dexplicit, Faze Miyake, The Bug (feat.Flow Dan), Cashmere Cat, Rustie, S-Type, DJ Manny, Uncon Sci,Bleep Bloop, DJ Earl, Sam Binga & Addison Groove, DJ Spinn,Freshmoon, DJ Manny, and Phil.

TRUTH: Devil's Hands/I Belong 12" (TEMPA 076EP)
New Zealand's Truth -the duo of Andre Fernandez and Tristan Roake -- put an expansive, cinematic twist on the deeply-rooted sounds of pure dubstep. Crushing bass pressure and all-pervading sensations of dread remain the hallmarks of their sound. This is the duo's second release for Tempa, and offers a pair of intricate, smoky and ocean-deep dancefloor riddims. "Devil's Hands" plays off a delicious tension between sweet and sinister, and "I Belong" pushes that dichotomy to even further extremes.

CB12001 (Cubiculo Records) 17th JuneListen: http://soundcloud.com/dubunit/
This is the first release of the label Cubiculo Records, a newborn label based in London / Lisbon that will feature Dub Unit (PT) and Speng Bond (UK) with the single EP debut “Ganjaman”.
The “Super Mariojuana Riddim” is inspired by the 8 Bit music, so called chiptune, blended with laptop / digital Reggae and influenced by retro computer games such as Nintendos Super Mario. The Portuguese producer Dub Unit created this Riddim based in a old school tune from Horace Ferguson called “Sensi Addict” and U-Roy’s “Music Addict”, but also brought the 8 Bit feeling because of his appreciation for producers like Prince Jammy, Jahtari, Maffi, and labels like Jammy’s, Harmodio, Unity Sounds, among others. Super Mariojuana Riddim was produced and mixed by Dub Unit where the English veteran Deejay Speng Bond, from the UK based label Reality Shock Records, sings “Ganjaman” in a wicked and conscious way.
The 12” vinyl will have six tracks, featuring on the A side the original version, the riddim version and the Acapella of “Ganjaman” so that any Speng Bond fan can do a remix for their own music. The flip side of the record will have three different remixes from Dub Unit´s & Speng Bond “Ganjaman”, where you can find a Digistep Version from the Portuguese producer Delmighty Sounds, a Cumbia / Raggamuffin version from the Colombian producer Alguacil Dub Killa and finally a Jungle version from the Portuguese Dirty Skank Beats.

NZ023 – Subtension – Black Haze – 12″ Vinyl $⑨
Following on from his well received ‘Reaction’ release alongside Borderline on our ‘Code Of Honour’ Compilation, 20 year old Slovakian Mário Dočekal aka Subtension was set the task of completing his debut 12″ single for Samurai Music. One of the most original sounding producers Samurai had heard for some time, it was not long before ‘Black Haze’ and ‘Changes’ appeared and were signed for the single. Haunting ambience and potent carving riffs set on top of crunching, powerful drums and chest shaking bass have become his trademark, and these 2 tunes serve as a perfect CV for the Subtension style. ‘Inner Man’ came later, and after dominating dancefloors with it’s gyrating rhythm was added as a digital exclusive to complete the package. DJ support from Klute, Ulterior Motive, Nymfo, BTK, John B, Xtrah, Trei, Fre4knc, Presha and more. Limited ‘Purple Haze’ vinyl 2 track 12″ & 2 track digital release.

They make blinding music, as previously witnessed on such superb labels as Prog:Ram, C.I.A. Renegade Hardware, Commercial Suicide, Symmetry, Ingredients, Med School & Critical. They’re so good, Andy C, Goldie, Klute, Hype, Total Science, Friction, Fabio all see fit to play their music in their sets. Bloody good I say. Makes me want to buy it.

PM026 – Paradox – Drum Machine / Core Jungle – 12″ Vinyl $⑨
Transparent turquoise vinyl. Dev Pandya drops his 149th career vinyl in the shape of the b-boy hip hop influenced ‘Drum Machine’. Sharp breakbeats step forward, sideways and roll with female rap vocals that get the feet shuffling to Drum Machine’s unique groove. Rumbling subs and cuts of distorted bass hold everything bolt tight with intricate effects, stabs and vocal riffs. Random twists and turns lead the mix into a vocal breakdown where the drums u-turn into a funk assault of Drum and Bass. The flipside ‘Core Jungle’ highlights Paradox’s early hardcore roots with vinyl-rip samples, crunchy funk breaks and raggamuffin fx delays that take you back to the birth of Pandya’s jungle influences. Core Jungle was written specifically for vinyl mastering and will not be available digitally. Exclusively for the analogue crew! Support: Marcus Intalex, Friction, Dj Marky, Loxy, London Elektricity, Presha, Naibu, Bailey, Fli ght, Asides, Amit.

BMT016 – Thing – Renew / Outer Lands – 12″ Vinyl $⑨
Having spent more than seventeen cross-genre years featuring on some of dance music’s most prestigious imprints, Blu Mar Ten have opened the doors of their own label to a host of fresh young talent emerging from the leftfield of Drum & Bass and beyond. Blu Mar Ten Music (BMTM) is a home for the beautiful and the ugly, the elegant and the awkward, the euphoric and the melancholy. The seventh release in this new chapter is brought to us by upcoming Estonian producer, Thing who joins BMTM with his trademark tribal, dubbed out audio. The sound of the frozen North. Renew: An intro of pulsing kicks and Arabesque claps drops into what can only be described as Gothic-Dancehall. Renew’s driving bassline underpins a matrix of skittering percussion and dubby fx being fed into a cavernous reverb, all working together to create an intimidating monolith of a track. Outer Lands: Picking up where Renew leaves off, Outer Lands builds layer upon layer of relentless bass while shadowy vocal transmissions and howling strings burst over the top. This moody little number instantly transforms any club into a long dark tunnel.

“Joker Records originated in the middle of the jungle explosion of the mid 90’s and continued to lead its own way of dance floor orientated beats for many years an era wen labels such as RAM, Urban Takeover and Philly Blunt Were Formed & was considered to be an incredibly important part of the early drum and bass/Jungle scene. Much of the output from the label received DJ support from the scene’s biggest players, & At The Time The Riddler was championed by Nicky Blackmarket ,and Kenny Ken. Many tracks signed to Joker Records used samples from popular US Hip Hop records such as Vanilla Ice’s Ice Ice Baby and Busta Rhymes’s Bus-A-Bus. A sample from the main theme to Star Wars was cleverly reworked for the collaboration with Surburban Base Records under the title Star Warz. This was a favorite intro tune for Ellis D for what seemed like an eternity in 1997.” Forward 2013 & Bladerunner ,Daffy ,Gold-Dubs (Of Arie s & Gold) ,Soulculture ,Billy Daniel Bunter, Slipmatt & Cabin Fever U.K step up to take on one of jungle/D&B’s fav classic labels back catalogue and get stuck in to bringing some of the the dream teams Classic bangers back to the fore front of today’s scene…….

* After the enormity of the Zane Lowe endorsed "Grit" (feat Roni Size) backed with the halcyon house anthem "Love You Like This", Danny Byrd returns with a huge double A-side to kick things off from hisforthcoming 'Golden Ticket' album.* This early summer single features two slices of battering bassline badness representing two sides of Danny's sound.
* "4th Dimension" will be recognisable to many from its space age Beastie Boys vocoder line. The track builds to a 303 frenzy before reaching a weighty bassline crescendo. The ultimate set opener.
* "Bad Boy (Back Again)" is opens with rave pads, crunchy breaks and diva verses on the intro before dropping like a pile-driver. Old skool never sounded so fresh.

* Not one, but two releases from the quite amazing Horizons Music. The Brazilian phenomenon Nitri has so much good music around at the moment, and the good people at Horizons have decided to spread the love across their next two releases, Horizons 65 and 66.
* The nucleus of both slabs is Searching, featuring Jinadu. The track has been remixed by some big names, and these reimaginings appear across the two releases. The original is perhaps Nitri’s best work yet, with a deep internal structure, and yearning, contemplative melody. Jinadu’s soulful vocals match the production perfectly, as Nitri transports you into his own world, one where heartfelt emotions come to the fore, showing the power of his music to the full.

ITO, AKIRO: Japanesque LP (BAM 7007LP)
Keyboardist and former member of the Far East Family Band, Akira Itoembarked on a solo career making what has been described as "floating electronics," using a medley of analog synths, guitar, bass, drums, and choral vocals. He released Japanesque in 1981; an album considered to be illusionary mind music at its finest and rarest. It's a gorgeous, mellow, floating, cosmic album, perhaps like a more organic Kitaro. Ito lends his sonic signature sounds of cosmic rock to full effect onJapanesque, reminding us why the Far East Family Band were considered to be the foremost innovators of early electronica. Digitally-remastered and presented on 180 gram vinyl for the first time.

ITADI: Itadi CD (HC 024CD)
Hot Casa presents a tremendous Afro-soul album recorded in Togo in 1977 by Itadi Bonney. This rare album was created by a four-piece band formed and led by Itadi. Recorded live in Ghana at the radio station and remixed in Togo, this album is a really stunning fusion of funky arrangements, jazz inspirations and typical Togolese rhythms, sung in English, Mina, and Akposo. The message was political, calling for African unity against dictatorship, which obliged Itadi to move to Washington DC during the '70s. Itadi Bonney, a native of Togo, West Africa, is an international musician who is a composer, arranger, vocalist, and guitarist. Itadi's music is a blend of Ghana's highlife and soul, creating a sparkling, undulating and eminently danceable wave of melodies and rhythms, punctuated by funky keys and layered with smooth vocals and harmonies. Itadi has toured France, Ghana, Benin, The Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and the U.S. Officially licensed and includes an interview with the artist.

RITORNELL: Aquarium Eyes LP (KK 071LP)
LP version. Aquarium Eyes is the second album by the Austrian duo,Ritornell. Their debut, Golden Solitude, was released in 2009 on Karaoke Kalk. Acoustic and electronic sounds merge on Aquarium Eyes. Paying great attention to detail, Ritornell recorded at various locations (the studio of Patrick Pulsinger being one of them). The results are gently woven into their very own world of sound. Defamiliarized by subtle electronic manipulation, instruments such as piano, double bass, vibraphone, kalimba, and accordion develop a surprising life of their own, only to be consequently swallowed up by the hissing and buzzing of electronic devices. Gleaming, multi-layered electroacoustic drones, isolated organic sounds, and sophisticated textures complete the intricate arrangements. On Aquarium Eyes, Ritornell tackle the art of songwriting for the first time: Vienna-based vocalist Mimu sings, whispers, and sighs golden threads through some of the fragile sound structures that Gerold and Eigner assembled with intuition. The duo also collaborated with vocal artist Didi Bruckmayeron the track "Tremble." "Music Box" is a conceptual piece: under the direction of Richard Eigner, 20 people simultaneously turn the levers of their music boxes: melodies of musical history blend into a sparkling confusion of sound. With their interpretation of Roxy Music's "In Every Dream Home a Heartache," Ritornell give it a twist: the guitars from the original have been replaced by a string trio.

ETHIOPIANS, THE: Freedom Train CD (KSCD 043CD)
The Ethiopians are one of the great vocal groups to come out of Jamaica. Lenard Dillon, (b. 9 December, 1942, Port Antonio, Jamaica) the founding member of The Ethiopians, began his singing career atClement "Coxonne" Dodd's Studio One. Initially he recorded under the name of Jack Sparrow, and backed by The Wailers, cutting "Ice Water" and "Suffering in the Land." Under The Wailers' encouragement, he went on to form his own vocal group, recruiting singers Stephan Taylor and Aston "Charlie" Morris to become The Ethiopians. They cut "Live Good," "Why You Gonna Leave Me Now" and "Owe Me No Pay Me." Although receiving favorable response, Aston Morris decided to leave the band and the remaining pair carried on and cut "'I'm a Free Man" and "Don Dead Already" and "For You." On meeting contract builder Leebert Robertson, a session was booked for Treasure Isle Studios. The session produced their seminal "Train to Skaville" track, which became an immediate hit in Jamaica and in the UK in 1967, reaching #40 in the charts. They also cut "Engine 54," which became the title of their debut album. Its follow-up "I Need You/Do It Sweet," did not fare so well and the band moved over to Sonia Pottinger's stable, where they cut "The Whip/Cool It Amigo" which revived their fortunes and proved another big hit for the band. Two more hits followed "Stay Loose Mama" and "The World Goes Ska," after which the band decided to return to a trio, adding Melvin "Mellow" Reid to the line up. The band hit another run of successes with producer JJ Johnson "Everything Crash," "Gun Man," "Hong Kong Flu," and "The Selah." Many hits followed, leading the band to work with a variety of Jamaican producers -- such tracks as "I Want to Be a Better Man," "Conquering Lion," "Fire a Mus Mus" Tail," and the timeless "Reggae Hit the Town," to name a few. Two albums Reggae Power (1969) and Woman Capture Man(1970), pulled a lot of these tunes together. Sadly, Taylor was killed in 1975 after been struck by a van in a road accident. Dillon returned to Port Antonio till 1977, when he was persuaded to return to Treasure Isle studios with producer Niney The Observer and cut the rasta-based album Slave Call. Additional members who joined for this album wereBro Fatty, Bro Ewing, Bro T, Mello, and Hychi Dread. An album that showed all the Ethiopians' magic had not been lost. This release includes the full Slave Call set, "Ethiopian National Anthem," "Slave Call," "Guilty Conscience," "Hurry On," "Mus Follow Babylon" (CD-only), "Train to Skaville" (1977 version, on CD-only), "Culture," "Obeah Book," "Let It Be," and "I Love Jah," alongside some of the band's early hits including the original version of "Train to Skaville," "Engine 54," "Everything Crash," "Reggae Hit the Town," and "The Selah." An interesting set to remind us what a great group The Ethiopians really were. CD includes two bonus tracks.

PERRY, LEE: At WIRL Records LP (KSLP 044LP)
LP version. Lee Perry's time at WIRL Records, later to be renamed Dynamic Sounds Studios, was a very productive time in his career. A run of great singles and the shaping of a new sound, the beginning of what we know today as reggae . Lee Perry (b. Rainford Hugh Perry, March 28, 1936, Hanover, Jamaica) began his entry into the music business at the age of 16. He moved up to Kingston Town and working around various sound systems, before finding employment at Coxonne Dodd's Studio One, in the late '50s early 1960s. Perry started out as a record scout, organizing sessions and supervising auditions at Dodd's record shop on Orange Street, helping to make hits for Delroy Wilsonand the Maytals, which would lead to his own vocal records released through Studio One, the musical backing for which came from legendary Studio One house band The Skatalites. Another important relationship for Perry, his first recordings with Bob Marley, came in the form of theWailers, also providing backing, alongside the Soulettes who featuredRita Marley, cutting such tunes as "Chicken Scratch" around 1965/1966. This tune was also to provide him with one of his future nicknames, "Scratch." A dispute over credits and money saw Perry leave Studio One and work with various producers including Clancy Eccles and J. J. Johnson, before arriving at the door of producer Joe Gibbs in 1967. Here he would write songs and produce hits for artists such as Errol Dunkley and the Pioneers. A tune cut during his time with Gibbs voiced a snipe at fellow employee Dodd, a trademark that would become an outlet for his frustrations in the business. This particular tune "The Upsetter" would also provide another moniker and a name for his label. Again, lack of musical credit and financial reward saw Perry move on to WIRL (West Indies Records Limited) Records, working alongside manager Clifford Rae, who would provide studio time and pay for pressings in return for helping to promote and distribute WIRL product. This period at WIRL saw some inspired work from Perry. "Run for Cover" was another musical blow to a previous employer, Coxonne Dodd, and featured the Sensations on backing vocals andLynn Taitt's guitar-picking skills. "People Funny Boy" was a massive hit for Perry going on to sell over 60,000 copies. Perry worked up a new style with Clancy Eccles, who would come under attack himself on "You Crummy." "Set Them Free" was an answer recording to Prince Buster's "Judge Dread" (which had featured Perry on it) -- a plea to the judges in Jamaica that handed out extremely harsh sentences. The track was cut on the same rhythm as "Run for Cover." "Django Shoots First," inspired by the Spaghetti Western film of the same name, features Sir Lord Comic. "Night Doctor" was a hit instrumental that featured the organ talents of Ansel Collins and "Something You Got" was a cover of a USA R& B track by Chris Kenner and "Wind Up Girl" was cut at the same session. "Water Pump" was a rude-style track that was cut later and originally released in 1974, as was "People Sokup Boy," a later version of "People Funny Boy." "Labrish" was one of the first great talk-over tunes that features Lee Perry and producer Bunny "Striker" Leetalking about the political situation in Jamaica, originally released in 1973. Bunny Lee would play a major part in Lee Perry's career around this time and they were very close, often sharing sessions and rhythms. Here we have a collection of music born out of a time spent at WIRL Records, providing an important chapter in Lee Perry's career and indeed to the story of reggae itself.

MARTINE, TUCKER: Brokenhearted Dragonflies: Insect Electronica from Southeast Asia LP (SF 013LP)
There is a legend in Burma stating that swarms of male dragonflies gather to join in choruses of high-pitched tones to court their mates. The ones that don't succeed in mating eventually scream so loud that their chests explode and they drop dead to the ground. These recordings are a tribute to this legend. Droning cicadas, dragonflies, and other insects display their charm as masters of the high frequency airwaves, recorded live and unprocessed by Tucker Martine in the lush settings of Laos, Thailand, and Burma. Enter the supernatural world where entomology and electronica converge in a tropical hallucination of alien sound. Anyone who has ever wondered if these strange symphonies could be recorded or preserved as precisely as they sound in the field need look no further. Martine has done it and you will be transported to the exact experience one would encounter in these mysterious lowlands. Limited edition LP pressing of the long out-of-print CD from 2004, comes with a beautiful tip-on jacket, including an insert with photos and liner notes byHakim Bey and Alan Bishop.

VA: Brand New Wayo 2LP (CRZR 1001LP)
2013 repress. Subtitled: Funk, Fast Times and Nigerian Boogie Badness 1979-1983. "With this release, Comb & Razor Sound launches its exploration of the colorful world of popular music from Nigeria, starting with the post-disco era of the late 1970s and early 80s. The years between 1979 and 1983 were Nigeria's Second Republic, when democracy finally returned after twenty-three years of uninterrupted military dictatorship. They were also the crest of Nigeria's oil boom, when surging oil prices made the petroleum-producing country a land of plenty, prosperity and profligacy. The influx of petrodollars meant an expansion in industry and the music industry in particular. Record companies upgraded their technology and cranked out a staggering volume of output to an audience hungry for music to celebrate the country's prospective rise as global power of the future. While it was a boom time for a wide variety of popular music styles, the predominant commercial sound was a post-afro beat, slickly modern dance groove that retrofitted the relentless four-on-thefloor bass beat of disco to a more laidback, upbeat-and-downbeat soul shuffle, mixing in jazz-funk, synthesizer pop and afro feeling. At the time, it was still mostly locally referred to as 'disco,' but has since been recognized as its own unique genre retrospectively dubbed 'Nigerian boogie.' A Brand New Wayo: Funk, Fast Times and Nigerian Boogie Badness collects 15 pulsing Nigerian boogie tracks in a lovingly compiled package chronicling one of the most progressive and creative eras in the history of African popular music."

The Ex plan to unleash a new wild and combustible album in collaboration with four of the world's most powerful horn players for some in-the-red swing time. Brass Unbound comprise Swedish force of nature Mats Gustafsson (sax), Chicago jazz heavyweight Ken Vandermark (sax), Italian wild card Roy Paci (trumpet), and boundary busting classical/futurist Wolter Wierbos (trombone).

WIPERS: Youth of America LP (JPR 82802LP)
2013 repress. Authorized reissue of the 2nd Wipers album, originally issued in 1981. "Simply obliterating any conception of the Wipers as a mere punk band, Greg Sage released this follow-up to Is This Real? in 1981 -- a sophisticated, overwhelming response to the evil times marked by the turn of the decade. Broken up into six long songs, Youth of America is a much colder, harrowing experience than the teen angst of their debut. Vocally, Sage comes off as sleep-deprived and forsaken, snarling not only at his own predicament but at the predicament of the entire world. The centerpiece of the album is the title track, a dire ten minutes of paranoia and angst that gave Sage the space to showcase his wildest, darkest playing yet. As bassist Brad Davidson and drummer Brad Naish hold the same hypnotic rhythm for the entire song, the guitar careens and swoops with such a frantic energy, it seems as though it's the only thing keeping Sage alive in the maelstrom of sound. It's a fitting commentary that the exacting, post-punk legends Mission of Burma and squalling, noisy thugs The Melvins both saw fit to cover the track. Jackpot Records have kept to the high standards set by our previous reissues (The Wipers' Is This Real? and the self-titled Beauregarde LP), and Youth of America is pressed on high-quality vinyl at RTI and packaged in a sturdy, old-fashioned tip-on sleeve. The tracks have been mastered from original tapes by Greg Sage himself, and the cover is identical to the original sleeve as issued in 1981."

WALTER, JUSTIN: Lullabies and Nightmares CD (KRANK 179CD)
"'Though the album title Lullabies and Nightmares suggests music thematically rooted in sleep, the debut full-length from Brooklyn-based/Michigan-bred trumpet player and composer Justin Walter owes more to a sense of emerging. After years of touring, random gigs and session work as a gifted player, Walter emerged with a sound that rendered all of that almost inconsequential. Spending a couple years intensively exploring the EVI, or Electronic Valve Instrument, a 1980's synthesizer/horn hybrid, he eventually worked out webs of bubbling loops made on the instrument, processed trumpet and fragmented electronics. Following a few low-key cassette releases and solo loft performances, Walter took the project into the studio, working with Erik Hall and drummer Quinn Kirchner to create a more controlled statement. Building on the loops and textures of the EVI, the album incorporates phasing patterns, the occasional motoric churn of dubbed out drums and considerate passages of trumpet improvisation, calling on Walter's years of experience as an improviser. Longer pieces are bridged by truncated interludes, wandering between modes that are by turns spooky, restless and sublime. The nightmares are there, with dissonance and panic on the heels of redemption in almost every song, but they're there only to be awoken from. The lullabies pass by quickly, too. The album moves naturally through its meditative cycles in a constant state of emergence.' -- Fred Thomas -- Presenting the debut album from longtime Nomo member Justin Walter. If this was a vintage Nonesuch label release, it would come with some dry title such as Music for Electronics, Trumpet, EVI and Percussion. The recordings here are anything but dry, instead being an exhilarating interface of the human and machine."

ERNESTUS PRESENTS JERI-JERI, MARK: Bamba 12" (ND 004EP)
"The centre-piece of a Jeri-Jeri live performance, 'Bamba,' is its tribute to the Senegalese anti-colonialist and spiritual leader. The groove is rock-steady, slow-burning, hard funk, a kind of fatback Mbalax, in no mood to be messed with. The pulse is easier to follow than usual, like writing on the wall. Backed by the full band, Mbene's singing is devoutly heartfelt, with affirmative responses from the Mboup brothers. Near-eight-minutes; twinned here with its full instrumental version. Plus two sketches, with talking-drums to the fore, no sabar drums three players, with Yatma's solo overdubs. On the first, Assane's electric guitar affects a game of catch-up; on 'Leumbeul' the talking-drums play three beats to the bar (so to speak), the full drum-kit plays four, and different keyboard overdubs switch allegiance back and forth."

Superbly expressive interjections by a trio of talking drums are especially lucid on the instrumental version. On the flip, 'Lignou Mome' is an exhilarating straight-no-chaser of galloping drums, bad-minded bass and layered guitar; before 'Ndeye Gueye' wraps up proceedings with a third instrumental, propelled by terse, hypnotic figures on guitar and marimba synth. With the drum-kit unattended, octogenarian legend Doudou Ndiaye Rose features on lead sabar."

VA: Enjoy the Experience: Homemade Records 1958-1992 2LP (NA 5100LP)
Gatefold double LP with a 20-page booklet of extensive liner notes. "Selections from the Sinecure Books publication Enjoy the Experience: psych, funk, folk, jazz, lounge, boogie and straight-up-weirdness from American private press albums. Enjoy the Experience: Homemade Records 1958-1992 is the inaugural offering from Sinecure Books. (The hardcover book version: SI 105BK) is the most comprehensive overview of the American 'private press' movement from the latter half of the 20th Century that could possibly be assembled. Now-Again Records is pleased to distribute a 2LP anthology of psych, funk, folk, jazz, lounge, disco, boogie and just-plain-weirdness culled from the the book's selections. Take note: this is not a novelty freak show. Contained in this anthology are examples of some of the most highly regarded rock, soul, jazz, funk and singer/ songwriter albums from the '60s through the early '80s. From the awkward-yet- talented to the genius-yet-bizarre, one thing unites all musicians presented here: they sincerely hoped to become stars, they committed themselves to record, and they left themselves vulnerable to an industry not understanding of nuance, not appreciative of character. While Enjoy The Experience the book details a forceful American cultural experience that stands in juxtaposition to the mainstream even as its creators attempted to infiltrate it, Enjoy the Experience the album shows the breadth of American creativity in a compelling, start-to-finish listen. Not all of it is easy to digest, but this music is essential to the 20th century American experience."

DEL THE FUNKY HOMOSAPIEN: No Need for Alarm 2LP (TEG 75506LP)
2005 release. "After breaking out of the Bay Area underground scene in the early '90s Del the Funkee Homosapien made a radical turn with his sophomore release, 1993's No Need for Alarm. Casting aside the familiar G-funk vibe of his debut, perhaps as No Need was produced without the involvement of his cousin Ice Cube, he moved into a jazzier -- some would say more East Coast -- direction on this project. The verbal content on No Need shifted as well, moving away from comic interludes and towards a focus on battle raps. No Need for Alarm was produced with his Oakland based Hieroglyphics Crew with Domino, A-Plus, and Casual all contributing beats making the record one of the three 'Hiero Golden Age' releases (along with Souls of Mischief's '93 til Infinity and Casual's Fear Itself)."

BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS: Man & His Music CD (TEG 76547CD)
"For those who know the story of the Bridge Wars, there's some irony found in the fact that Scott La Rock, representing the South Bronx, was born in Queens; though he did relocate to the South Bronx at a very young age. After graduating high school La Rock spent four years in Vermont at Castleton College where he earned varsity letters in basketball, but more importantly for the world of hip hop he became more and more enamored with music. On graduation he returned to New York and began working as a DJ and as a social worker at the Franklin Armory Men's Shelter in the Bronx. It was at the shelter that Scott met Kris Parker and the duo formed Boogie Down Productions. The rest, as they say, is history. Roughly a year after the tragic shooting death of Boogie Down Productions founder, DJ and producer Scott La Rock, B Boy Records, and KRS-One issued this special remix album, Man & His Music (Remixes From Around The World). Billed as a 'Limited Edition Collector's Classic' the project was released in a limited run -- briefly available in the '90s -- and now after years of being unavailable reappears as a tribute to one of the genre's early pioneers."

2009 release. "Lee Fields & The Expressions have successfully created a unique and personal sound that can hold court with the bands they set out to emulate. However, what they've created in the process goes beyond just a carbon copy of a sweet soul music from the '60s and early '70s. The formula has remained the same but the style has been adapted for the ears of youngsters whose experiences with soul began with Amy, not Al, Otis and Marvin. Thirty years of retrospection has colored this cross-generational melding of the minds. It sounds odd on paper, but the results are classic: hip hop-reared record collectors come full circle to produce an album of beautiful soul music with one of the progenitors who made it all possible."

FOSSATI, IVANO: Il Grande Mare Che Avremmo Traversato LP (VM 091LP)
"Among the many ones who left their band to pursue a solo career in the '70s we find Ivano Fossati. In 1972 his group Delirium had become very popular, thanks to 'Jesahel,' the song they presented at the Sanremo Festival in February: it became a real chart-hit 45 RPM, a very unusual thing for a progressive rock band. But commercial success didn't stop Fossati from leaving Delirium and releasing in 1973 his debut album, under the name of Alberto Ivano Fossati - Il grande mare che avremmo traversato ('The big sea we would have crossed'), a mainly acoustic LP, suspended between old prog moments ad songwriting, all mixed with orchestral and Latin/ethnic elements, accompanying his peculiar voice. A poetic and suggestive LP, which will capture the attention of the most demanding Italian prog fans too. Released on CD paper sleeve in 2004 by BTF/Vinyl Magic, Il grande mare che avremmo traversato is now reissued on LP by the same label. The vinyl transfer has been made for the first time with the DMM technology (direct metal mastering), with the aim of offering an even better sound quality on 180 gram vinyl."

PAGANI, MAURO: Mauro Pagani LP (VM 115LP)
"In 1976 multi-instrumentalist and music writer Mauro Pagani left PFM, at the peak of their career, to start a brand new solo career. He probably felt the need to get away from the progressive rock clichés and a hectic on-the-road touring life, and therefore preferred to be free to record anything he wanted without restrictions or compromises. We're talking about his eponymous debut LP, originally released in 1978 by Ascolto record label: a magnificent and surprising album, where Pagani could finally show his love for popular/ethnic music, something difficult to put into PFM's compositions. Almost every of his former band mates, anyway, plays in this record, together with other great guests such as Area - first of all, their incredible singer Demetrio Stratos - and the female vocalist Teresa De Sio. This album still sounds amazing today, the first of a long series of releases for Mauro Pagani, who led to the legendary 'Creuza de mä' - composed with Fabrizio De André - in 1984. Released on CD paper sleeve in 2006 by BTF/Vinyl Magic, Mauro Pagani is now reissued on LP by the same label. The vinyl transfer has been made for the first time with the DMM technology (direct metal mastering), with the aim of offering an even better sound quality on 180 gram vinyl."

JULIUS, ORLANDO: And The Afro Sounders LP (VF 001LP)
2013 repress; LP version. "Orlando Julius has been a well known name on the West African music scene all through the 1960s and 70s. His early work was recorded in the Philips studios under the strict supervision of their house producers who were putting an emphasis on a pleasant and swinging sound that was jugging along in a pleasant way, bridging big band highlife music with American soul. In 1972 and 1973, Orlando Julius and his band The Afrosounders visited the legendary ARC Lagos studio of Ginger Baker and what OJ and the gang put to tape there was an entirely different beast: They recorded an album packed with unadulterated, funky Afrobeat of the heaviest caliber. For the first time, Orlando and his band were able to really let loose and showcase their full power with an unfiltered impact. They laid down six epic tracks that, from a funk or Afrobeat perspective, definitely count as Orlando's strongest work but it seemed that Philips were not too happy with this result. They completely botched the distribution of this record and while Orlando's earlier and later work has all been re-issued over the past years, this, his best record has remained under the radar and virtually unknown to the worldwide community of African music lovers. Now this record is re-released with its original artwork and extensive liner notes written by Orlando Julius himself, including loads of great vintage photographs." Includes a 12-page booklet.

VA: Psych Funk Sa-Re-Ga! 2LP (WPFC 103LP)
2013 repress. Deluxe gatefold 2LP version with 20-page booklet. Subtitled: Seminar: Aesthetic Expressions of Psychedelic Funk Music In India 1970-1983. "Indian music has become a global musical language but its South Asian roots remain strong, diverse and local. As with our introductory anthology of this kind (Psych Funk 101 -- WPFC 101) this anthology covers the 'golden years' of the movement, from approximately 1970 until 1983. Much of the music on this compilation springs from the Bollywood film industry; composers such as R.D. Burman and the brothers known as Kalyanji Anandji, whose work makes up much of this anthology, recorded and released an inordinate amount of soundtracks. That experiments in the fusion of India's classical traditions of Hindustani and Carnatic music, folk music such as bhangra and dandiya and Western psychedelia and funk music would occur at some point is only natural. Also included are off the beaten path Indian experiments in psych funk -- for example, two songs from the Simla Beat garage-psych albums, and an oft-heard Deep Purple cover by the ground-breaking Atomic Forest -- and examples of the Indian psych funk influence on European 70s musicians. Throughout the extensive liner notes, WPFC attempts to broaden the definition of global psychedelia: the early researchers who first coarsely defined the genre - and limited its subgenres -- did so at the same time that these experiments were first issued. That they would obscure these contributions to the global psychedelic canon is understandable. But it is time to correct this oversight."
