repress 2015 ** deniz kurtel will be one female you will be hearing a lot about in the coming months as she drops her debut artist album on crosstown rebels, pre-empted by one of the tracks of the year, >the l word<

some facts about duncan gray... he is a multi-instrumentalist tune smith... he has a label called tici taci... he was, along with our kid, one half of the criminally under-rated machine funk duo the sons of slough who produced an album of elastic electro (milk, milk, lemonade) and invented electro-bingo (two fat ladies... aux 88). he has recorded a cover version of robert calverts (ex-hawkwind) *lord of the hornets*... he has played space guitar on a number of my remixes (we like to call his sound pink wray). he has given me 4 tracks of low-slung sleazey loveliness to release on bird scarer...

ltd warehouse found... the joubert singers – stand on the word remixes available 12inch, including larry levan mix and exclusive reworks by patchworks, panoptikum arkestra & walter mecca. originally recorded live in the first baptist church in crown heights, nyc, in 1982 under celestial choir and pressed only for the congregation, it was then enlighted by walter gibbons (owner of jus born studios and a new born christian at the time of the recording), who acquired a copy and played it out at the 7th av. rock and soul shop, where he worked. >stand on the word< was walters biggest record at the time, says colin gate, who visited the church in order to track down the origins of the song.

played by : slothboogie, ernie (minuendo recordings), carlos nilmmns - ornaments berlin, demetrio giannice (enterbt rec.), jorge caiado (balance / groovement), och, amadei, samann (traxx underground), mil (music is love records), steve huerta
having launched the balance music sublabel last year in a curatorial manner with the purpose by design compilation project, chez damier returns to helm the fourth release and fans of the detroit icon will be happy to see say the word features some all new original productions. side a offers a brand new track -tudor por amor- highlight the perfectness of damier s roots in house and techno, whilst also doffing a proverbial cap to new york house thanks to it s percussive vibe. complementing this is an unreleased version of the chez classic -forever mona- that subtly recalibrates the late 90s cut for both house and techno ears. on the flip we get a taste of heart 2 heart, a new collaboration between damier and young french producer ben vedren, with -shigan- featuring in both rex dub and detroit 3000 dub form.

first word records proudly presents *the misadventures of a middle man*, the new album from essa. despite being a firm fixture in uk rap for over a decade, this will be essas first full-length since 2006s *grown man business* with dj mr thing. early releases *liquid love*, *city breaks* and *dancing shoes* (under former name yungun) established him as one of the uks most insightful mcs. collabs with guru (gang starr/jazzmatazz) and praise from nas and mark ronson followed. all of this whilst pursuing a parallel career as an entertainment lawyer.

the alias of welsh-born, california-based brian williams, lustmord first emerged as an associate of spk in the early 80s, before embarking on a solo career that has yielded such classics as heresy (1990), the place where the black stars hang (1994) and (with robert rich) stalker (1995). lustmord has also contributed to numerous hollywood films as music and sound designer, and collaborated with the likes of clock dva, chris & cosey, geir jenssen, the melvins, tool, aaron turner, monte cazazza and coils jhon balance. often seen to epitomize dark ambient, it would be more accurate to say that his work simply goes deeper, further, than conventional ambient dares, or is able, to go. half a decade in the making, the word as power is his new studio album and an exploration of ritual music without dogma.

das nächtliche gemunkel am tresen bei bier und klaren war irritierend gewesen: aufs neue album, so drummer zimmermann und basser strohmeier, würde das lo fat orchestra auch kinderchöre und ein streichquartett packen. man dachte mit grauen an the wall, konzeptalben-bombast, artrockkacke und hoffte halb, das sei nur der berüchtigte schwarzwälder humor. jetzt ist the second word is love da. nicht mit kinder- aber mit chören und natürlich mit streichquartett. die befürchtungen zerbröseln im nu, wenn im opener be honest die bassdrum nagelt, die elektrizität in der luft rauscht und singt, bevor der sägezahnbass und schmids gesang und orgel einsetzen. alles gut! alles besser! alles: mehr!

taking influence from reggae, lotek explores the evolution of hip hop by way of the reggae sound system culture. he looks to jamaica for inspiration and takes pride in continuing the tradition of uk artists working with, and interpreting, the sounds of jamaica.

multiverse is a word used to describe an infinite group of disparate universes including the ones currently inhabited by humans. a myriad of realms that sit side by side, undetected by our senses, surround us at any given moment. the multiverse theory was first confirmed by tracking leakage of electromagnetic waves filtering from one dimension into the next. when these waves were transposed to fit into frequencies audible by the human ear, the recordings were studied by a team of scientists, who found that they contained rhythmic elements that resembled a speech pattern of an alien language..... repress
