a column of bull ants moves across the rain forest floor, constantly moving limbs shift like the tidal flow of a river. each carries a large bright leaf in its mandibles maybe twenty or thirty times its size. the column swerves around a tendril-like air duct that services a chamber below. one strays too close and slips down still carrying its leaf. it flies down the air pipe and is projected into the interior of an anechoic chamber. beads of sweat ooze down bintus grizzled brow as he continues experiments into noiseless ultra bass. if applied correctly this acoustic energy can have devastating effects.

it is a double vinyl set of empty locked grooves that contains nothing but its very own surface noise - and physical structure. it is a sculptural revision of stefan goldmanns earlier locked groove-based double vinyl the grand hemiola, but it also serves as a genuine hauntological vinyl surface noise tool kit, out on its own. pulling a knife or other tool to its grooves allows for cutting your literally uniquely own beats directly into the record.
young belgian producer locked groove (aka tim van de meutter) cements an increasingly central role in the hotflush family fold with the release of the two part heritage ep. since his debut on the label, tim has propagated what he himself has termed 100% house and techno, combining elements of the big room, the deep and moody and straight up four-to-the-floor both into the space of a single track, and across the length of an ep. taking a marked step on from last years rooted and keep it simple eps, heritage pursues a joining of musical dots between and beyond classic house and techno, from the kerri chandler-esque house of *wear it well* through the epic landscaping of *lost* to *dream within a dream* blade runner beach party. in this collection, the young producer delivers two sets of three outstanding, genre-straddling tracks that further help to bolster hotflushs legacy as one of the most forward-thinking labels operating in 2013.

belgian producer, tim van de meutter, aka locked groove, returns to hotflush for a second ep following the success of januarys pivotal rooted release. keep it simple comprises three weighty examples of why the young producers unique fusion of big-room techno and moodier, deep-house elements has been resonating so loudly of late. central to the ep is simplicity itself, how simple structures create something larger than the sum of their parts as >keep running<, with its rattling percussion, acidic bass stabs and euphoric builds, flaunts to the full. >aller simple< adds swing to a similar palette that is as stripped-back as it is heavy-duty. force is replaced by introspection on vinyl-closer, >even< – an inebriated voice reverberates over whispered organs and an understated groove.

originally released on chain reaction in 1996, pelons >no stunts< harks back to a time when the nowadays so gladly used and over-used term >dub techno< was still waiting to be found. but thats secondary. the main thing is: >no stunts< is here again. with addictive, heavily-transformed and echoed synth sounds connected to a strong and pulsating bass line, it is exactly that type of no-frills techno you just cannot stop listening to. now restored and remastered, the a-side contains an edit taken from the 1998 chain reaction cd >various: compiled…< - previously unavailable on vinyl. as if this wouldnt be enough advocacy for vinyl as the agent of choice, the flipside holds 30 locked grooves extracted from the original recording session of no stunts that you wont necessarily find in the track itself and most definitely not as downloads. especially enjoyable with two copies. the effects can last forever
