2019 repress - for the shango ep, producer waajeed transitions from downbeat to upbeat on the latest release from his dirt tech reck imprint with three choice cuts ranging from the millennial blaxploitation vibes of the title track to the orgasmic, angular funk that is better late than never and winstons midnight disco. merging the electro sounds of his native city with the pulsating drums of his native land, waajeed taps into african roots in reclaiming the dance music that is his birthright as a son of detroit. check!

waajeed is proud to present strength, a cathartic ep on his own imprint, dirt tech reck. for this four-track package hes enrolled three detroit natives to collaborate ideeyah provides soulful vocals whilst jon dixon and jay daniel offer two diverse remixes. a detroit dream team, if you will. the title track is a radiant, melodic groover that looks to the sky for inspiration. ideeyahs lyrics battle with self-doubt, searching for solace in the harmonies around them, yet her vocals exude pure power. for his own string mix, waajeed elevates the delicate sentiment of the original to a sun-drenched dose of uplifting house. additionally, waajeed will perform across 17 dates for an extended tour between august and october this year, including shows at the legendary sub club in glasgow and movement festival torino. strength is the first of two singles from his full lp called from the dirt

producers such as akcept, alphadub, deadroom, baodub, dtr, blind prophet and bukkha have joined their talents, skills and energy on this special venture. in addition the whole release was fabulously illustrated by the inimitable fromthetrunk crew. those 3 covers have been hand painted for the past few months and turned out to be an outstanding piece of art when joined together. limited to 500 pcs, no reprint.

2019 repress - echoes of this summer’s ‘shango’ still shimmer through systems as detroit’s waajeed continues to make good on his promise: to “put paint where it ain’t.” after years of soul, funk and hip-hop explorations as a founding member of the platinum pied pipers (among many other innovative escapades) and, most recently, a soulful remix of amp fiddler on kenny dixon’s mahogany music, waajeed is building on the fresh line of house grooves he commenced this summer. his first pedigree dancefloor tracks in almost 20 years, he taps directly into the source and builds with his own soulful bricks. it’s working, too, dj-wise he’s playing alongside moodyman, mr. scruff and carl craig this fall, while ‘shango’ has enjoyed heavyweight support by the black madonna, carl craig, jackmaster, gilles peterson and many notable selectors.

* since september 2015 surgeon has been performing live improvised techno using hardware machines. * this has been a gradual process of evolution over the 25 years that he’s been performing to a point where it really can’t be called djing anymore. * he’s taken the techniques and inspiration from this live creative process and distilled them into these four tracks. ‘convenience trap’ follows on from the techniques learned in his ‘bland ambition’ release also on dynamic tension. * always pushing forward against the plague of mediocrity.

* this is the seventh surgeon album.
* -while exploring new production techniques using old and unlikely hardware, the results were so unusual that i really had the sense that these pieces of equipment didn t actually create these sounds, rather they were in fact some kind of elaborate reception device that allowed me to tune into transmissions from distant galaxies. the music i could hear was actually the received transmissions of pop hits from those distant galaxies that were being played on their radio stations. i quickly recorded all that i could before losing the transmission.
* i consulted with dr andrew read, the astrophysicist with whom i recorded guitar treatments in 1999. he has worked on the discovery of the most distant galaxies and astronomical objects in the universe. together we came up with a possible list of where these musical transmissions may have come from.
