the something vinyl series continues this time with seductive house tunes and deep moments for the dancefloor and places beyond. five tracks and four bonus loops makes this the next typical warm vibrating something record, you have probably already expected. as the title suggests, its not a perfect clean and faultless production. there is the dirt and a sound inhabitant, for what stl records are well known for. experimentations in the worlds of hardware based tone generators and at the limits of analog signal processors. the tracks also deliberately dispense much static computer arrangements and were recorded mostly in live sessions to capture the actual feeling for each song. every being is a universe of its own, with all it s known and unknown places. there are mistakes and inner strangers which are made to learn and grow. this record is a recent snapshot from someones life, where the love for music and sound is maybe the most beautiful mystery!

after the success of >slow burn< as well as the licensing of >dirt< to mr. ben klocks berghain mix compilation, echologist returns with another slice of psychedelic dub techno with remixes by frances techno king terence fixmer and arguably moscows finest producer, anton zap. the original mix is a slowly builds into a blaze of cavernous chord changes and a 4/4 groove powered by an unelenting sub bass. the distinctive sound of this track is what seperates echologist from all the other dub techno composers out there. terence fixmer takes the elements and transforms them into his signature techno workout that packs as much punch as it does finesse while anton zap strips things down and builds a super spacious hypnotic house groove that has become a trademark of his ethereal sound. all round another essential release from echologist.

special collectors item - double 12 inch vinyl in gatefold sleeve. live album recorded during the razors edge world tour.

one of rough trades island 50th anniversary selection - 50 crucial titles, specially selected by us to highlight the unique contribution this seminal label has made to british music since 1959. the results of nick drakes solo sessions were as harrowing and stark as anything by robert johnson or charley patton. enclosed in an inner world of psychological distress, drake recorded pink moons dispatches from a private hell that was simultaneously terrifying and beautiful. both the lyrics and the melodic motifs are pared to the bone here, their simplicity making them all the more immediately striking. the most nakedly emotional and disturbing moment is probably parasite, a visceral but mysterious account of a disconsolate soul roaming through the world in search of succor, with drake taking the starring role, ultimately offering, take a look, you may see me in the dirt. this was the end of the road for nick drake in more ways than one, but just the beginning for the scores of songwriters subsequently inspired by his bleak but beautiful visions.

schieber continues its way into more easily grooving realms and comes up with these new, elegantly sparkling tracks by berlin resident drei farben house who has already caused a stir with his delicately balanced releases on force tracks and brut!. for schieber drei farben house gives two different insights into his understanding of house music: sander is more tracky and relies on looped chords which bring you closer to house heaven with every repetition, while manifold percussions together with the beats provide the necessary injection of funk. in contrast, anagram expands the frame of grooves and chords for finely ramified bell sounds and softly glowing melodies. for his remix of anagram house routinier prudo (moodmusic/dirt crew) reduces the melodies and displays a firework of funky sound bits - a perfect tighrope walk between minimal and house which combines the best of both worlds.
