arguably one of the most acclaimed and loved bands of the past 20 years, by both fans and their musical peers alike, the beta band formed in st. andrews, scotland, in 1996. innovative and singular, their unique musical and aesthetic approach to everything they did set them far apart from their musical contemporaries. together for a relatively short period of time, the three albums and three eps they released between 1996 and 2004 would nonetheless help define them as one of the most exciting and cherished bands of their generation. after acquiring the beta bands catalogue last year, because music will reissue their releases, starting on september 14th with a double cd best-of compiling all their best hits and a live show recorded at the shepherds bush empire (london) in 2004. because music will also celebrate at the same time the 20th anniversary of their 1998 compilation the three eps by releasing a deluxe vinyl edition gathering in a slipcase the eps champion versions, the patty patty sound and los amigos del beta bandidos with remastered tracks and coloured vinyls.
luke viberts technicolor-schwenk durch die welt des modernen funk. kerrier district nennt sich das funkige acid-dance-projekt des englischen elektronikknstlers luke vibert. nach einem debtalbum - erschienen 2004 auf dem label rephlex und zwei maxis erscheint mit 4 erneut ein longplayer. die 14 tracks sind eine gro§artige collage aus samples und beats, old-school-drum-loops, sehr viel acid-funk und intensiver elektronik-disco. inspirieren lie§ sich vibert zum teil von der legendren ep -black devil disco club- von bernard fevre aus dem jahr 1978, die seitdem viele musiker beeinflusst hat. schaut man sich die trackliste mit titeln wie treacle tits und -discuntek an, erkennt man zwar eine portion kauzigen humors, doch sollte das nicht zur fehlannahme verleiten, vibert wrde seinen job nicht ernst nehmen. im gegenteil: 4, das auf cd und als trippel-lp erscheint, ist ein technicolor-schwenk durch die welt des modernen wohlfhl-funk, basierend auf einer unmenge an material, lustvoller programmierung und fetten bssen. der sommer kann kommen.

!k7 are pleased to announce forest swords as the next curator of the ever essential dj-kicks series. following acclaimed albums on ninja tune and tri angle, soundtrack and installation work, and remixes of the likes of bjork, matthew barnes aka forest swords has curated a 25-track compilation that draws a line between past inspirations and his current peers. like much of his own output, his dj-kicks skirts around pristine electronics and embraces more organic textures: 80s post punk (anna domino, dead can dance), classic 90s british electronica (orbital, mira calix), and smokey digi-dub (rhythm & sound), all rub up alongside some of the most forward-facing producers working today (demdike stare, laurel halo, fis). the compilation sifts through rhythms, shifting speeds and emotions: from pop icon neneh cherrys primal thudding to the zombified throb of exclusive forest swords track crow via deena abdelwaheedÕs clattering deconstructions to the euphoric two-step of djrum. its a collection of tracks that feels as restlessly curious and weighty as barnes own work.
