uk orientated house/techno & electro cuts from trouble maker label owner adam curtain. his first solo outing on the label provides three genre-benders in and around the 130bpm bracket. heavy 2-step, garage and electro influences seep through on all tracks.

disconnected sounds launches with a one off pressing of 300 hand stamped and individually numbered white labels. dscntd 001 is a four track ep featuring a varied and stunning array of cuts from newcomers, deft, hugh pascall, chocky & adam curtain. the record begins with croydon boy defts luscious down tempo joint >paradise<. classically trained jazz musician hugh pascalls follows on with >joy padding< which is a slice of breathtaking syncopated electronica. the b side takes us in a housey direction, kicking off with chockys >scat<, a deep, groove laden, head nodder. while >calcut<, a percussive, twisted 4/4 sub-bass work out by nottinghams adam curtain finishes the whole thing off.

for over 12 months thomas feriero aka avatism, our friend and label partner, has been staying at home and working on his album. he moved to berlin to work on it and now sadly (for us) yet (gladly) for him he is moving back to milan. poof! just like that. so what did this year entail exactly? well for some of us not much. we got to see him in his studio comfy pants a couple of times (he wears slippers) we heard his studio woes, ate pasta with him, drank beers and of course got to hear his album at every juncture. while this self-imposed exile may have been a little worrisome the result is fortunately spectacular. adamant is a glimpse into how a city shapes a life and how intrinsically life then shapes music.
