klasse wrecks never dissapoints! strong release on their grafiti tapes series by richard sen!!

every so often public release takes a snapshot along their discography timeline, to pause and recognize the various artists that represent the past, present and future of where the label sits. the last such release was in 2016, and four years, twelve releases later it’s time for another marker. this ep pools together six exclusive tracks from their global family, some on the pr roster for the very first time. from the beautifully addictive melodies by tendts and metropolitan soul museum, brooding baselines and synths from richard sen and tim sweeney, to the ecstatic floor energy produced by fran-key and earth boys, the range presented here is impressive. equally enjoyable as an abbreviated album, or as singular tracks at your service.

dance music veteran richard sen has a 30 year history of djing and production. the respected global dj has produced and remixed many well-known artists including bryan ferry, john grant and lcd soundsystem. from the late 90s to the early 2010s sen was one half of the dance music duos, padded cell and bronx dogs. this is the first release on his own label which aims to explore the beauty of the night - dark and light, combining influences from black american dance music and european electronic music.

lonesome hereo comaback after 5 years

richard sens sound has always been influenced by black dance music and european electronic music and these two tracks carry on the vibe dark, electronic funk! flow master is inspired by old school new york house combined with european industrial body music. sen calls it muscle house. bad meaning good is a lighter, deep groove that takes inspiration from african percussion artists like kongotronics.

with an initial release on cyclo records in 1999 followed by a re-issue on phil week s robsoul imprint, we are proud to present this classic gemini tune transcended by a great remix package from well respected uk house techno producer richard sen. the original mix has also been remastered. so play it loud

fresh!

former padded cell and bronx dogs man richard sen has made some great records in his time, and songs of pressure is up there with the best of them. joining the dots between murky dub disco, horror soundtracks and ebm, it layers spooky, delay-laden synthesizer motifs and wonky vocal samples atop a heavy dub rhythm and punchy machine drums. pals andrew weatherall and timothy j fairplay deliver a bongo-laden, dubbed-out revision (part wayward exotica, part humid balearic dub), while acca strips the track down to its nare bones for a ket-addled dub. its a fantastic 12inch, and limited to just 99 copies. you snooze, you lose.

southern california producer jeffrey brodskys *i ll be strong* is the latest ep to appear on san francisco based label public release. its comprised of four tracks, with brodskys original joined by three wide ranging remixes, which complement its energetic feeling with deeper material aimed at late nights and early mornings.

emotional especial gathers pace with an eighth release from richard sen, a man whose cultured touch has had a hand in various strands of the uk underground for the past two decades. graffiti artist, graphic designer, music curator, dj and producer are all vocations richard sen has done at one point or another. here he goes solo with the ghost train ep, a dark and brooding release of old school meets new school house jack that takes its cues from 80s new york, italian house and the nascent uk acid house that sen himself documented with aplomb on a 2012 compilation for strut. naggingly familiar samples and a low slung box jam groove drive the spectral title cut forward, whilst sens mastery of delay is shown with aplomb on the dub version that closes out the record. nestled in between is the highlight however in *meteor shower* where discoid basslines merge with psychedelically charged keys and hollowed out steppers percussion.

friends for many years, richard sen and scott fraser come together with a dose of mutual admiration and back slapping by remixing each other on this 2 track ep. however, what makes this collaboration different is there are no original versions appearing, just these remixes.

strut continues its celebration of 25 years since the heyday of acid house as respected dj / producer richard sen (padded cell, bronx dogs) follows up his acclaimed compilation of early uk house music and acid, >this aint chicago<, with an exclusive limited edition 12 inch featuring previously unreleased edits.

stepping to the hard left, richard sen + cazbees edits are always a touch different from the rest of the zillion edits around. influenced by the newave and disco not disco sound of clubs like the music box these 3 new cuts have a disctinctly dark and naughty flavour. listen and judge for yourself…. mixed blood cuts has been supported from djs including: dj harvey, andrew weatherall, optimo, padded cell, idjut boys, cosmo vitelli, mark moore, pete herbert, lovefingers, golf channel and more.

following the best selling debut release on autodiscoteque, richard sen & cazbee return with a killer 3 tracker! definitely more ron than larry … it comes in limited, demo only vinyl format and blends proto-house and disco vibes. one limited pressing - strictly for use in discotheques!

nope, this man is not a legend, yet! however he is in fact legendary already for his notorious live sets as well as a wide range of groundbreaking styles and sound he designed apart of the consensus way in the last 15 years.with his now presented astrodymics part1, richard bartz deals similar to the subway concept again with his past and transfers these late nineties space-disco drafts into the wonderful here and now. he delivers vivid funk-supercharged house which is at the same light as a feather and for sure a very sudatory matter.
space-disco rules!

richard sen (padded cell / bronx dogs) & cazbee (legendary graffiti artist) present a trio of new leftfield edits, suitable for the more open minded disco dancefloors. on the a side playback, is a fashionable midtempo euro funk groover. on the flip mad high is an uptempo string stabbed dancefloor destroyer. finally b2 schizo is our favourite out of the 3 is reminiscent of nu groove and early house. the original newave track is a chicago underground classic. the two recent mbc releases have seen support from dj harvey, andrew weatherall, prins thomas, idjut boys, cosmo vitelli, optimo, cherrystones, tim paris, moxie edits crew & dc recordings soundsystem

new and exciting label from our friends north of the border, aimed squarely at the dancefloor autodiscotheque kick off their demonstration only series of cut up dancefloor grooves with two killer edits from richard sen (padded cell/bronx dogs) and legendary grafitti artist cazbee. first up is a fresh rework of the bass driven disco glitch of kat mandus i wanna dance reconstructed here as cat dance. on the flip, the chunky disco funk of dennis deans i feel it is transformed into the irresistible proto house groove of lifetie. cut and pasted for the elegantly wasted, this is sophisticated and decidedly filthy 21st century club music !

super limited hottie on one side in a epic, dub-heavy remix by wave music s pioneer rob rives, on the other side molded into a melancholic, acidic electro pop tune by gui.tar, - only 1200 of this around! nuff said, better get out of the starting blocks quickly

memories is a bold collection of uninhibited songs inspired by ady’s personal experiences. drawing on touchstones of british adolescence, the album covers a broad range of themes - from love and relationships through to mental health issues. all the tracks on memories are written by ady, and co-produced by ady alongside the likes of ivor novello winning cassel the beat maker (akala, plan b), richard archer, eric appapolay (neneh cherry, craig david, lionel ritchie) and grades (bastille, dua lipa, khalid). highlights include forthcoming single ‘need somebody to love’ which sees ady intertwine sprawling jazz with adolescent infatuation over a teardrop drumbeat and sparse choral samples.

turbolenz is a new label from offenbach run by philipp lenz aka delenz. the first label s release comes from shayde, the brain child of delenz and his partner richard hötter. titled „ama il buco- (italian natives get the joke here), it features a very diverse spectrum of sounds and moods. „ama il buco- a slow grower and steady groover that will get many bodies moving and is some ready-to-get-naked material for sure. „kühlschrank in f-moll- is a rather dreamy, yet positive and escapistic affair. insert your favourite sunrise after a long night out here. the flip side starts with a remix by none other than swayzak, the mighty tech house duo from london. their take on „ama il buco- is a crisp and cool peak time affair for a moment of contemplation – if that makes sense. the last track „ofwebach- is obviously an homage to delenz home town offenbach. apparently a more uptempo and experimental terrain, „ofwebach- is something else. all in all, the result is a rock-solid 4-track debut release on turbolenz or as they say in offenbach and frankfurt: megastabiles ding.

hackney vandal patrol is a brand new project from long time friends and neighbours scott fraser & richard sen. focusing on their joint love of that deep miami/ new york house sound, vol i is the first edition in a series of ltd 12inches. heading back to richard s heritage of being a highly respected graffiti artist, each one is hand tagged by richard in his own unique style and numbered with an insert by scott. the first release, bound by faith is a straight up and direct for the dance floor miami style deep house cut, complete with reverend jesse jackson speech on the vocal version. for the dj crews there is a deeper redemption dub stripped back bass hit with added percussion and a re-programmed instrumental of the original. the hackney vandal patrol were once despatched to patrol the streets around the mighty london borough of hackney.

whilst not the first uk dance scene the mods had that covered – northern soul is the longest running. those northern clubbers who eschewed late 60s psychedelic fripperies for obscure old soul records with the requisite beat, couldnt have known what they started. after using up all the uk released sides they began digging in the united states and after nearly 50 years the northern soul scene has probably unearthed more great music than any other. all night long is our tribute to those pioneers and includes current in-demanders such as the sensations demanding man, classics by the chandlers and ernest mosley and a host of other dancefloor friendly masterpieces. all night long, can you feel that beat and extra added soul will be available on cd & double vinyl and are compiled by dj and award winning compiler dean rudland, with stunning artwork from his long-time collaborators the unknown. across the three volumes there are 60 tracks of soul, funk and boogie.

quazarz came to the earth from somewhere else, a musical ambassador from his place to ours. somehow, through fire or through fury, the palaceer of shabazz palaces caught wind of the tale, and it is through his prism that we hear the story. the beach was there, and atlaantiis, and chemical alterations and cell memories and andre norton, richard k. morgan, and always octavia butler. there were killings and there were votes, and brutality in both. there was sound and there were other worlds, and there was a vastness so participation sometimes came only at the edges. and the palaceer coasted down with the alien notion, like quazarz, and so became. on quazarz when they look at this place they see the inhabitants, the humans, but they don’t assess as we do. and so quazarz was sent to meet a cat with vibration, a creative and courageous, caring, compassionate dude that stood out. the dude was a drug dealer, but that was neither here nor there, until his dealings squashed the rendezvous, leaving our alien alone to figure out what this place is really all about. the vinyl release includes a download code.
