with a career spanning over twenty-five years and releases across strictly rhythm, kingstreet records and real tone to name a few, tommy bones’ new ‘black concept’ ep brings two tracks that give a modern edge to the classic soulful house sound. ‘black concept’ has a soothing, almost serene sound with the use of jazz influenced instrumental sample but also a beat that allows it to remain predominantly house track. ‘put it on you’ is up-tempo with more of a club designed sound, the vocal of lydia rhodes has an almost seductive sound and the varied tempo gives a sound for the underground dancefloor.

docile recordings is an independent artist label that chooses to follow its own identity. docile works to describe the beauty of our existence and depths of our depravity. these tracks represent a struggle to preserve a time and place into the grooves of the only medium that can accurately display our craft. docile is vision kept alive by good will and loyal service. docile recordings number twenty five starts with a soulful bop stumbling around nonsense words that form rhythm in an upbeat minimal jam. track two spirits a moving melody through random digitals and walls of harmonic hypnotics. track three has a childlike appeal with its cheap keyboard and boisterous synth knocking an easy melody through moments of naive transcendence. track four lumbers with a simple sterile funk thats pulled along by a masochistic chant. the names of these tracks are listed below.

nice price deal !!! flight to the moon is the result of a year-long journey by dutch producers dimi angelis and jeroen search. it is both their first album as a&s and their first full-length record together. like the explorers whose journey is musically documented by flight to the moon, angélis and search set out to discover where this record would lead them. throughout the course of twenty tracks flight to the moon tells the story of a group of spacetravelers. it chronicles their ascent into the vast unknown and their uncovering of things as of yet unrevealed. what will they find? and what will their findings tell them? the tracks on the album – which they will release on their own a&s imprint – are diverse yet homogenous. they meander, transferring a sense of dangerous and potentially deadly encounter at one moment and then capturing a feeling of exciting amazement at another. most crucially, flight to the moon is more than just a collection of techno tracks. in fact, to think of it in cut-out genres is to limit the scope of the album’s musical offerings. search and angélis aimed to shape a record that would defy their own notion of techno. that journey can now be heard by all.
