on sat002 lovework/decisions, black light smoke shows off his pop sensibilities with two sing-a-long summer anthems-in-the-making. lovework is a no-wave-inspired ditty littered with catchy analog synths, an ass-shakin bassline and reverbed claps juxtapozed with a haunting processed vocal from the producer himself that repeats, >you made a mess of my head. now i gotta put it all back together. theres nothing to say, over and over…< which is how this tune will be playing in your head after one listen. on the flip we get a taste of black light smoke in deep house mode with decisions, a lustrous and vibey joint that features a sweeter vocal by suavecito, a new guise of dj/producer and vocalist who is well known by another name. here more analog synths produce wickedly buoyant bass lines and swirling pads that combine with bubbly piano stabs and little vocal sample/edits for what sounds like it could have been a naked music release had the label been operating in 1990.

the sight below is a project created by rafael anton irisarri, an american composer, multi-instrumentalist, curator, producer and mixed media artist. in this guise he has produced two full-length cds on ghostly international, >glider< (2008) and >it all falls apart< (2010), and most recently, under his own name, >the north bend< for room 40.

mister saturday nights eamon harkin dishes out another dose of rocking revamps on this the second release from his subway series imprint. this time the throne of blood man takes three numbers which should be somewhat recognizable to discerning ears and mutates them into jams designed firmly for the dance floor. >party out of sight< is a superb re-work of the bill withers seminal harlem. this edit made its first mark a few years ago in an earlier guise on mp3 but has now been further spruced and improved for wax. >the better kind< stretches out joy divisions >means to an end< and underpins it with a rocking drum pattern whilst >turn up the funk< is an excellent re-work of the proto hip-hop number >shoot the pump< from back in the day. a real bumper package!

morphosis has been cooking. friends, nwaq & just for one day got on the re-whisk. these productions live up to all expectations from two of the most awe inspiring out there. turn them up. big tip! when this idea came about, there was some speculation here if it was a going to be plausible prospect. throughout all the deliberation one fact remained: re-workings from these artists would make the perfect precursor 12” to a full morphosis album, and it just had to happen. then it did. nwaq turns in one hell of a dub! an almost relentless 7.5 minute float, that’s underpinned with thriftily placed percussion, and a true beast of a kick drum. no build-ups. no break-downs. so, now… let’s all bow towards to the master. just for one day’s rudeboy drum palette is going to be familiar to more than a few people. let’s just say that this is the new guise of a veteran german producer who’s uncompromising music has graced some of the world’s most exciting record labels over the past 15 years. for this remix he hijacks the ‘android’s among us’ and throws them right into a sound system shootout somehow leaving the core elements from the original track in tact. seriously killer. for fans of 2 step, jungle & dr who(?). please note: this will be a vinyl only affair.

souvenirs kid-brother, re.you - is all grown up & showing of his muscle. having previously worked with his brother phillipp with remixes under their belts for &me, turntablerockers and m.in. - now under his own guise he brings a new danceable creepiness to the label as he partners up with hometown hero, rampa of souvenir & keine music - well-rounded producer & dj extraordinaire, versed in the sways of shake - for the >our thing ep<. re.you grabs the a side on his own…with a rework of >ghost< by hamburg duo phantom/ghost - with a haunting vocal that is foggy & vague >relax…its only the ghost…< - matched with excellent guitar underpinnings, and a strong percussive sway…distant & smoky, >ghost< does the trick. the b side brings rampa & re.you together for >awareness< a deep, dark track with a chugging bassline and a heavy, syrup-soaked vocal

unquote is the guise used by russian electronic music producer vsevolod ermakov. he joins a trend of exciting new producers from eastern europe delivering a new interpretation of experimental drum & bass and dubstep. he has, to date, clocked up releases on some of the scenes most forward thinking labels, including a single on med school and releases on hospital and influenza media. he has also been tipped as one to watch by london electricity on the acclaimed hospital podcast. cold tenderness is, as the title suggests, an emotional and melancholy piece of ambient dubstep. its stirring synths and haunting vocals create what is, quite simply, a breathtaking track that you will want to play again and again. the flipside sees edinburghs finest dfrnt on remix duty giving us a glimpse of what is to come on his forthcoming extended player on nu directions later in the spring.

produced in 2004, this ep marks an essential shift in the production of stefan goldmann to his modus operandi as a dedicated innovator. he had adapted the barricade guise to induce some serious deviations into the techno realm. yet, heads werent ready and he simply continued under his real name with his major breakthrough works: perlons blood ep and the legendary sleepy hollow tune. hidden from the public, aleko and frantic had built a prototypic aesthetic of rough, concrete-space sounds - reduced dark, metallic percussion grooves, spring reverbs and degraded post-acidic synths. you name it where you heard this sound years later. its revealing how far ahead these tunes were at the time of their creation. they sound more now than many current tracks. aleko is the 4/4 techno version of this soundset, locked-in clonk patterns built around a nitrous bassline. frantic could be a future development to todays dubstep, if it wasnt its actual historic predecessor. add the schizophrenic bass excursion heliotrope and you have a package of painstaking relevance. back then the a&rs simply didnt get it - thats why it took 6 years and the formation of victoriaville to finally bring these gems to light

supported by: radio slave, robert dietz, lauhaus, alex celler, matt tolfrey, slam, anthea, konrad black, anthony collins,.. air london presents the debut solo release from adam shelton. already releasing music with subb-an (either as subb-an & shelton or under their sas guise), air trax marks the first full release for adam in his own right, and its one hell of an introduction. both tracks here have been made for the late night hours as adam shelton really gets into his gritty groove with this speaker-busting double hitter. >crazy talk< starts off with a hypnotic rolling drumbeat and a fixating, echoing vocal that builds until the driving bassline kicks in and leaves you hooked. on the flip >do not attempt< is another killer cut with clipped broken beats and crisp hi-hats. a shady vocal, uttered throughout, is swathed in siren cries and more brooding bassline

patrick rasmussens musical worldview goes beyond the adjectives that are continuously used to describe his music - eclectic, accomplished, experimental. he is a restless journeyman who, as raz ohara, has sojourned in collaborations with electronica luminaries such as apparat and luomo, and has penned solo work of electronic downtempo, acoustic, folktronica, and various points between. most recently, under the guise of the odd orchestra, he changed course again and crafted two albums, raz ohara & the odd orchestra and ii, both explorations of hazy, pastoral, avant-garde pop, grounded by rasmussens soulful and heartfelt vocals.

the debut release by molly wagger is the single >weekend<. the original mixes a forlorn and melancholy vocal with an uplifting major 7th piano driven backing. to complete the release we also include the live favourite >molly<, an ode to one of the band members cat. all elements are tinged with a grey-skied but undeniably optimistic scottish pulse which makes it all the more an interesting listening experience.

stanislav sevostyanikhin returns under his kontext guise with four tracks of tightest dubtech minimalism on immerse. these are his first konext productions since the impressive >dissociate< album, continuing a trajectory into widescreen dub techno and clipped, post-dubstep rhythm programming. >no more room in hell< combines the luscious atmospheres of pendle coven or bvdub with subtle glitching rhythms, while >daphnia pulex< adds glassy electronic melodies and padded subs to the equation. most interesting of all is >sattva<, rolling raga drones into his morphing dub chords and crafty future garage stabs, kinda like pole meets farben on a dusky autumnal evening. if you ever wanted a more reduced ramadanman, or a glitchier appleblim, this is well worth checking...

boy we couldnt resist hooking up with one of the youngest and brightest proteges in the west-coast undergound to slap out some crazy remixes of the bsu ep for yall. who is he? why, a made up sound ofcourse, or 2562 for short. steamrolling his way onto the scene in 2007, 2562 has been a mainstay from the get go, with amazing production skills and a keen ear for what rocks the house. in a very short time the 2562 name became almost synonimous for dubstep. but luckily for us theres the made up sound guise to provide us with a more mutant hybrid of slamming jak-step (and remember where you read that first). so take your pick, heres one for the heads and one for the bodies.
