Sales Information:

Label boss Craig Bratley takes care of one side, his companions on the label's latest vinyl voyage are fresh-faced Lithuanian audio-visual explorers Roe Deers. Best-friends Liudas and Oskaras have been producing, DJing and performing together for some time; "Kukushka", the track showcased here, marks their debut release.

It's an impressive debut, too. Built around metallic percussion hits, chugging post-punk attitude, tipsy textures and the sound of broken cuckoo clocks, 'Kukushka' is a throbbing dancefloor excursion blessed with an otherworldly atmosphere. It's the musical equivalent of finding a wormhole round the back of a sprawling industrial estate, and then stepping inside to have a look around. Label regular and fast-rising French wunderkind Markus Gibb provides a stellar remix, teasing out the track's post-punk and industrial elements whilst adding a heady air of horror-influenced late night mysticism. Breathe in the rarefied air, and then run for your life.

Bratley handles the flipside, charging off in a bolder direction with a rucksack full of analogue gear for company. On 'Raw Tracks' he channels the spirit of Britain's bleep-and-bass pioneers, layering clattering drum machine hits, twisted electronics, ragged acid lines and alien melodies atop a hefty, speaker-shaking bassline; in other words, it more than lives up to its' title.

Bratley changes course on 'Night Moves', the EP's closing salvo. This time, it's the throbbing electronics, fluttering synthesizer lines and sharp digital melodies that catch the ear, rising and falling above a metronomic, early morning groove. The bassline bubbles along menacingly, impressively underpinning Bratley's head-in-the-clouds electronics in the process. It's a pleasingly positive end to an EP of carefully considered darkness
