1993 classic!! forgemasters track with no name became the historic first single release on warp!!

this is the third of the black dogs liber series of releases that are purely aimed at the dance floor. it follows the previous, well received liber kult & liber temple 12s, these singles all lead to liber dogma, due on soma in october, and further chapters. high rise choir reprise opens with clattering percussion taken straight from recordings at forgemasters before a face-ripping gut-wrenching bassline cuts through with one of the black dogs strongest minimal grooves yet. built to move heads and feet, the hypnotic groove hooks you instantly while the haunting strings bring the emotion in massive dark waves, you cant help but fall into this track. beautifully simple, addictive and massive. dissident bleep is just that. over the years the myth that sheffield is all about bleep and bass has gathered ground but those who live here know its all about the bass. industrial repetition gives way to twisted vocal samples of >over, over<, a sure-fire nod to cabaret voltaire, before the kicks and filters pummel you.

sounding like dj gregorys marching band heading through the back alleys of brazils favelas, >township funk< is the master work of one south african, mujava - real name elvis maswanganyi, a twenty something hailing from a pretorian township called attredgeville. dj mujavas formula on >township funk< is simple. its tough, dark, african dance music from the industrial city of pretoria. its perhaps the most infectious dance record youll hear this year, echoing the early warp sound of lfo or the forgemasters in an uncanny way, almost 20 years on, across continents. early props have come from erol alkan, hot chips joe goddard, sinden, diplo, modeselektor and trevor jackson
