4 track v/a ep

cadans continues an incredibly strong run of releases with curved, his first drop for ben sims on-point hardgroove imprint. previous output for clone basement series as well as darko essers wolfskuil and balans as well as a collaboration with randomer for tasha s neighbourhood imprint have quickly established cadans (dutchman-in-london, jeroen snik) rep. on curved we re treated to yet more of the rising star s strident and sometimes disorientating rhythms. creep and dank open the ep with blistering purpose - all distorted 909 kicks and and hazy memories of strobes on seething dance floors. the title track kicks off the b-side with an aptly undulating and enjoyably unsettling slant to its main riff while the ep wraps up with chant a brilliantly effective drum-machine and vocal/horn sample workout.

new yorks avision makes his debut on ben sims hardgroove imprint with culture, an ep comprising four memorable and kinetic techno cuts and including an edit from sims himself. having previously cropped up on mark brooms beard man imprint, avision (real name anthony cardinale) has a knack for turning in gritty grooves that draw on earthy, discoid constructs and thats exactly what we have here with culture. from the eponymous opener throughout, staccato stabs characterise and propel the tracks in different ways whether via rolling, almost-there disco loops, gleefully abrasive call and response rhythms or, in the case of sims edit of jux, nifty vocal sample interplay. true to hardgroove form, culture is a release crafted for the dancefloor and delivers with exacting precision.

following big releases on circus company and lph white in 2015, borrowed identity continues the good form with his first release of 2016, the amplified house ep on ben sims hardgroove imprint.

following hefty releases for karlovak and bass culture in 2015, ben sims continues to bring his ron bacardi alias heat with along with a remix from borrowed identity.

ben sims long running hardgroove imprint drops a new split release from ultramajic artist chambray and newcomer george tounisidis this september. the 12 inch a-side comprises two exclusive instrumental versions of cuts originally released on kompass in 2014 that show the german artists robust house leanings nicely while the flip side sees two similarly meaty house-informed techno cuts from george tounisidis. as always with hardgroove, this is a 12 inch of dancefloor weapons for the heads. enjoy!

a welcome return for the mighty hardgroove label see s ben sim present his ron bacardi alias as well as new track in the middle featuring remixes by ron bacardi & vinalog as part of record stores day 2015. 12 inch clear vinyl in spined sleeve

lampin techno with a disco twist and a kink remix. the classic sweet pussy pauline sample crops up on a cowbell-kinked and chugging sims original. bulgarian house god kink takes things deeper on the flip with his rollin remix of freaks.

after the success of >disco trix vol. one< hardgroove continues the party vibes with trix vol. two, yet more familiar classics are wacked thru the sampler by mr ben and pumped up for peaktime useage in true hardgroove fashion. this ep features 2 different mixes of >dollar bill y all< as we couldn t decide of the definative version so lazily put both on, >reject 2< which was commissioned as a remix for spain s >dj nuke< but unused and >in the middle< which in our humble opinion is the finest slice of disco fromage sims has created so far
