old school flava with a twist - french producer onra rifles through his crates to rework two 90s rnb tracks upping the tempo with a swing. 12 inch vinyl only.

we are back - bringing that raw and funky garage vibe to vinyl & kicking off our artist series with a selection of original underground garage artists from back in the day - so who better to start off such a release with no other than an innovator of that scene and mastermind behind those tuff jam beats, mr karl -tuff enuff- brown.

head-turning singles >tuff enough< and >take em up< from marcus >shit robot< lambkins fantastic debut, from the cradle to the rave, get reinvented by two of the most talented dj/producers working in electronic music. on the a-side is germanys michael mayers epically inventive take on >tuff enuff<. less muscular than lambkins original, the remix softens things up by placing supple keys under the hardened exterior. the climax is an otherworldly listening experience that literally builds to take off. on the flip, john talabots remix of >take em up< starts like a laidback house party that builds just enough energy when its relocated under disco lights. the haunting opening — a swirling, ghostly blend of elliptical vocals and handclaps — leads to a sonic journey that is as smooth as it is wholly entrancing. this fantastic coupling of tracks is being produced in very short supply, so snap them up quickly!

>tuff enuff?< sounds just the way an affirmative answer to the titular question should: lean and muscular, with sinewy bass flexing its way straight through. its a song full of robust underpinnings and carefully placed counterbalances: synths that lustrously shimmer and slowly dissipate, keys that sparkle faintly at the quietest moments. the first single on from the cradle to the rave, the debut album from shit robot – aka marcus lambkin, aka >the godfather of dfa< – is a perfectly executed composition in >homage to chicago house, kraftwerk and gay electronic disco.< the b-side features a wild geese remix of >i found love<, another stellar track from lambkins debut. in the capable hands of djs dan foat and frank tope, the laidback original

formed in 1997 by philipp albrecht (guitar), rene albrecht (drums) and christoph lenz (bass) - singer christian erne entered the band in 2000. since he left plenty enuff in 2007 philipp albrecht and jessica sigfalk took the micro power. plenty enuff have been experimenting with sounds from the sixties for almost ten years. starting off with a traditional type of ska they soon switched to a dark blend of roots reggae. their large amount of shows already brought them to the jazz festival of montreux this year.

aynzli is an exciting alternative act who fuses hip hop, dancehall and soul. hes currently working on his debut album with salaam remi (nas, fugees, amy winehouse), squeak e.clean (the yeah yeah yeahs, the pharcyde) and steve dub (chemical brothers, roots manuva).

nice grooving breaker from the two culture clash with lots of atmosphere and the voice of tanya stephens

originally this song came out exclusvly in australia on warner brothers but it did not include derricks re-edit. this 12inch has the original pnau funk version that sounds like a dark prince song in the 80's. the greenskeepers and joshua speed up the tempo and make a chopped up dance floor vocal that has been a favorite of derricks carter, mark farina and honey djion

we think everything we release on frijsfo is fresh. at the same time we believe it doesnt hurt to stay in touch with your roots, which is something buzzin10 does in a fascinating way. we cant tell you much about this young producer from east london, a publicity-shy individual whose music we first heard thanks to his older brother. but we do know he pieces together rhythms by sampling fragments from old tape packs – mainly garage nations late 90s recordings of some of the best djs of all time, including dj ez, karl tuff enuff brown, dj luck & mc neat, and ray hurley.
