witness the second coming of this mysterious italian producer with shocks ii, totally abandoning the conventions of dance music with three more astonishing tracks comprised of heavily layered sounds, tape loops, loose percussion and meandering guitars. in his post-modern approach, shocks orchestrates a melding of sounds musical and non, beautiful in their a-tonal harmony, obliterating any linkage to original context and leading us on a road to nowhere.
4 tracks by unknown artist very reminiscent of the early ferrispark records releases. super trackee, simple, gritty & emotional sample based detroit house. enough said.

autophobia ft. luna is the lead cut from louie frscos forthcoming debut album due early next year. it comes backed with a stunning remix from label bosses art department, their first mix in some time for the imprint and a real gem from the ever on-point production duo. also offered up is an equally interesting effort from eric volta and that is sure to take the versatile young producer to the next level.
the excellent beats in space label continues to impress with each release. following up lauers monster mascat ring down release, eddie rushchas celebrated secret circuit project steps up once again, bringing us *afterlife*. a typically freeform analogue synth workout with fx drenched vocals and that unmistakeable secret circuit vibe who better to handle the remix than the ukraines very own analogue ambassador, vakula. his treatment is a textbook vakula production, warm, expertly evolving, raw machine funk. wrapping things up we have a dub version, in the truest sense of the word, an utterly spaced out and remade rub down. typically superb artwork and shrinkwrapped sleeve packaging as you have come to expect.

this is the first release for brooklyn ny based 369 records. for the first time also the music of bne and diet rx is being shared with the world. bne is a two man group also based out of brooklyn, their deep house vibes are an easy pleaser. diet rx is as you guessed a nyc resident, and supplies the b-side with a funky gear heavy throwback to a ravey, trancey, crunchy time where image was not as important as the experience.
invisible city editions is proud to officially re-release the sublime extended 12inch version of praise jah with soaring vocals and wild electronics. big tip!. oluko imo was a trinidadian born multi-instrumentalist, founder of the legendary spiritual afro jazz groups mansa musa and the black truth rhythm band. he moved to new york city in the 80s and divided his time between teaching music there and touring africa with fela kuti as both his manager and part of the band. praise jah is imo’s crowning achievement. an elevated electronic mantra that perfectly fuses synthy soca disco with his spiritual afro-trinidadian leanings. its a timeless piece of music that sounds as visionary today as it did when it emerged from the aether back in 1979. limited pressing with embossed sleeve, designed by zeitype.
mr. frankie knuckles - this time operating under his night writers alias. we re not sure too much needs to be said about this one, it s all here really, that classic knuckles deep touch, the musicality, the vibe... ricky dillard s vocals encapsulating that feeling when the music takes over, pure abandon. the pairing of these two talents results in what would eventually become a bona-fide house classic.
