louisville producer and beatsmith dr. dundiff presents his first band project sgjazz. the vinyl lp includes a download code.

that summer i developed somewhat of an obsession with tonto’s expanding head band after having seen them perform at the big chill festival that year. the music blew my mind. later upon my return to civilisation and the ensuing research which then began in earnest i became as much blown away by the enormous t.o.n.t.o. (the original new timbral orchestra) modular synthesizer that had created the music as i was by the music itself. built in the early 70s, it s still the largest synthesizer around today. with the live show still resonating in my head i tracked down everything tonto had ever recorded. one of these tracks was an obscure outtake from the time t.o.n.t.o.’s creators, malcolm cecil and robert margouleff, were producing and engineering for stevie wonder in the ‘70s(https://youtu.be/wuaszff7yq0). the track, bittersweet, only ever appeared on a highly limited self-released cd put together to coincide with their appearance at the big chill. consequently i featured it on a few mixes i did over the years and invariably i’d be asked “what’s that track?” by those with an ear for something unique. and invariably these same people, many of them djs, would turn away disgruntled when i informed them it was cd only. although i didn t know it at the time, the seed was definitely sown for this vinyl compilation that you now hold in your hands.

double vinyl edition of 300 copies w/ download code and etched d-side.
breaching is the debut album from leeds-based, 6-piece, post-metallers hundred year old man. hot on the heels of recent ep rei, breaching emitsthe same heaving intensity and unforgiving, wall of sound approach. dense and billowing riffs are intertwined with field recordings and spoken word passages to form an unyielding, sprawling piece of work that delivers the bands artistic vision perfectly. the more ambient, drone sections of the record compliment and allow the real songs to take flight. debut single black fire is reworked to give the track a new lease of life, whilst the other heavy hitters here, the forest, long wall, disconnect and ascension are a continuation of the excellent work found on the rei ep. breaching contains masses of atmosphere and is a ferocious and immersive listening experience. an epic, monolithic voyage full of texture, depth, aggression and emotion. this is an album that should be approached as a whole, with patience and attention. the rewards will deliver a unique, crushing and quite simply superb record.

7 track 2lp - ukrainian producer vakula, whose name is linked to the early days of arma, re-emerges with techno game. ukrainian producer vakula, whose name is linked to the early days of arma, re-emerges with techno game. the double vinyl features seven confidently-carved tracks that reflect vakulas current exploration of techno landscapes. as the cover suggests, it is a game. the author does little to nothing to explain the rules, throwing the listener into an elegantly structured space that feels alarmingly material. featuring artwork by juli kozyr

the 23-year old vienna-based florentin berger-monit aka toju kae is well known for his intense, hypnotising ambient sound with melancholic undertones.

this will be the first time the albums have been pressed to vinyl, following their debut 2008 (the sound of trees falling on people) and 2011 (+dome) releases, and marks the milestone signing to australia and electronic musics front running, award-winning label future classic (flume, flight facilities, jagwar ma). 30 tracks across two critically acclaimed albums, now featuring two unreleased vinyl-only locked grooves. it is a surprise that this album of sharp-edged, glacial, organic electronica, hails from sunny sydney, australia.

inspired by the infinitely numbered harmonies transmitted by vista, a benevolent being from a distant dimension, iasos broke ground for a new age of electronic sound manipulation.

following the smash hit >summer beach edition compilation< and dinkys positively carnivalesque >time to lose< ep, visionquests latest collection showcases the label at its curatorial best. offering up three elegant tracks from across the broad spectrum of dance-oriented electronica. the inspiring juxtaposition of david k, my favorite robot and mirko loko together on the fall/winter collection works to create a remarkably unified whole, a versatile remarkable collection for the ensuing darkening months.

an inventive showcase of what?s possible when armed with just a sampler, a few studio toys and a fertile imagination, paul white & the purple brain is the intriguing sophomore album from south london producer paul white ? his first for now-again. well recommended!

the magicians private library is the debut album from holly miranda - a dreamy and bewitching new signing to xl recordings.

as always green pitch is dominated by the beautiful voice of rex garfield - a voice that carries you around the record. the music from green pitch is melancholic and fragile. its a new take on the traditionel singer/songwriter tradition. green pitch used to be aduo, but is now a band with drums, cello, guitar and percussions - everything is still played in a very quiet and subtle way.
