australian michael ozone, currently operating out of melbourne, is an artist embodying the purest form of absurdist energy. this debut offering, is but of a fraction of the entertainment we can expect as his career zig-zags forward. perfect systems is a tuff native track based on the idea of man-made tools, technology and borrowed languages. imagine failed cities overtaken by jungle life as youre swallowed by this utopian island groove. a not-so distant relative on side-b,hetrotopia leads us on a nomadic journey, exploring vast new landscapes and uncharted territories. references to new beat and horror soundtracks are apparent, but no matter what fantasies we infer from ozones music, his talent for crafting such fiction is a welcome addition to the esp institute.

here is what we know about luv*jam: known to his mum as andrew cole, he is a house producer and dj from wrexham, north wales. enigmatic though he is, luv*jam has revealed more than enough personality between wax grooves. his generous string of white-hot releases on such labels as we play house, phonica, skylax, lany recordings, and his own crow castle cuts do more than enough talking. that sterling track record continues with his throne of blood debut.

new clone basement series (lucky number 013!) with the long awaited return of a made up sound (aka 2562), following up on his archive ep/cbs02. written as a counterbalance to the more experimental releases on his own amus label series, archive ii finally unleashes whats possibly his most banging, straight-forward club material to date, while retaining the trademark a made up sound funk and swing.hang-up is all about the irresistible herbie-injected groove, cut-up and layered to great effect, whereas things get darker and bass-heavier with technotrack sweetback on the flip. keeping the tension high till a drop towards the end, seven minutes never seemed so short. a great first number 013 release and we cant wait to hear some of our favourite djs play the tracks out loud. another proper banger on the clone basement series!

after firmly establishing their nu funk steez in the digital realm with countless releases, london label boogie boutique reached into the glamorous world of vinyl in fine style just before christmas with the double 12 inch drop a year on wax. they elect to continue their twelve inch shaped adventures with a label regular at the helm in the shape of funk ferret. the new zealander has featured on many a boogie boutique release, as well as other nu funk labels such as booty pirates and ghetto funk, so keen observers of the scene will know what to expect. >pushin forward< features the mic spitting skills of imagine this, whose mr lif style delivery is the perfect foil for a trademark mid tempo bass heavy bump from the ferret. boogie boutique have assembled a fine cast of remix talent too, with big beat veteran cut la roc dropping a fine sample heavy revision that allows the vox to shine. fellow bb artist and montreal dweller nick fonkyson adds some crunchy riffage to the mix, whilst the funk ferrets regrooved sound system partner dj alias concentrates on teasing out some bassline deviancy with some help from benson.

last years tbg01 was charted by german djane ellen allien and broadcasted by gilles peterson of bbc-international fame - amongst others. the second installment (with the slightly confusing catalog-number tbg04) changes its appearance from white-label 12 inch in a black & white gatefold cover to heavy white vinyl in a multicolored disco-sleeve. the labels patron arthur boto conley showcases the work of obscure 1980s producer clifford trunk. the lo-fi dance and ambient tracks origin from a tape which was hand to conley by trunk during a brief encounter at düsseldorfs ratinger hof in 1986. depicted on the cover you can see italian designer ettore sottsass work for the fashion company esprits european headquarter which opened up the same year. clifford trunk was working for the sottsass associati from 1982 on and had a leisure time obsession for drum-computers and sample synths. what a serendipity! - limited to 333 records.

>rispah<, the sophomore album by the invisible and their first for ninja tune, is >a love letter to grief< following the passing of singer dave okumus mother, is imbued with an inevitable melancholy but defined by a sense of hope. throughout, the band reveal their rich creativity and musicianship. echoes run through these songs of african music (including beautifully-woven-in samples of the singers from okumus mothers funeral), psalm tones and devotional music, in a silent way-era miles davis, hints of minimal classical composers such as steve reich and the wilder more psychedelic end of hip hop and related electronic musics.
nothing is ever included for the sake of it, no attempt is made to patronise or sell the audience short. it is a record brimming with real emotion and restless intelligence, a record to get lost in.

our little dutch sun god onno knows best how to make the kids shine, and as expected, hes put together a breakwater just in time for beach season: whatever makes you happy glides on on the crest of the a1 groove with a heavy-duty surfboard. its laconic vocal work and dynamic drum rolls are echoed in the remix by nicola jah at coordinates b2. this italian producer dives into stiller waters, which of course run deep down into the vibrant ocean of sound. for the b1 onno provides similarly strong dancing material, shooting pool on the sundeck of his boat and knocking “8ball” into the hole of victory. finally, magit cacoon, our latest roster addition and the first woman on deck of the uy vessel, cruises via the digital route for her debut, an utterly deep remix of whatever makes you happy with bass that sets uy061s sails toward a blissful ending to the voyage

mit neneh cherry hŠtte wohl kaum noch jemand gerechnet. erst recht nicht damit, dass die stimme von 7 seconds an der seite eines free-jazz-trios suicide covert. zwischen neneh cherry und the thing hat es offenbar gefunkt. vor zwei jahren trafen die prominente sŠngerin und das radikale free-jazz-trio erstmals zusammen, nun haben sie gemeinsam ein album eingespielt. angesichts der hits von neneh cherry, die sich zwischen hiphop, soul und ethno bewegten, mutet ihr comeback-projekt abwegig an. betrachtet man jedoch die familiŠren hintergrźnde, liegt die kollaboration eigentlich auf der hand: neneh cherry ist die tochter des jazzmusikers don cherry, der the thing mit einem seiner stźcke zu ihrem namen inspiriert hat. der renommierte schwedische saxophonist mats gustafsson und das norwegische rhythmus-duo ingebrigt hŚker flaten und paal nilssen-love transzendieren das spektrum herkšmmlicher jazz-trios. neben einem cover von don cherry finden sich darauf songs von the stooges, mf doom, martina topley-bird und ornette coleman. wenn nicht alles tŠuscht, steht mit diesem album die †berraschung des jahres ins haus.(78sfm)

esperanzas 25th release comes from labels boss kasper. been this his third solo release on the label and the second of his dope beats series, on the a side we have the art of rebellion, a deep burner with some disco infused sounds all over the place. the track builds up around a heavy bass sample filtered in and out from start to beginning. b side, the dreamer, is just yet another example of kaspers love for the classic sounds. this time teaming up with vitorias best kept secrets, mario castillo, also known as kastil for his releases on soul notes, outernational and seven music, they deliver a true tribute to chicagos house sound from the 80s. 707, juno and what more!

ok, we know what youre problem thinking…not another marvin edit! but hold your thoughts, this is something extraordinary and one of the best arranged and produced (not edited) tracks weve ever put out on gamm (no joke). with extra added keys and various production elements this is a 10 min and 52 seconds long boogie monster that will take you on an emotional ride youll never forget. yes, its that hot! but the flip isnt bad either with the revivra crew going uptempo with a super rework or remix (your choice) of crown heights affairs all-time ballroom classic. just like with the marvin track theyve turned the track inside out to an almost 10 min long disco cavalcade. the weekend starts and ends with this fantastic ep

i light another cigarette in the tittery the sparrow has landed. we have returned from our excursion to the modern and would like to share what we brought with you: some showtunes and a twelve tone row. the show, as it turns out to be, is our very own. we started out writing new material to perform on stage, after we had found out it was great fun to refrain our instrumentation to vocals, piano and bad acting. originally very attracted to the- as our label told us- very clandestine idea of releasing three 12inches with very limited playability for djs, we agreed not to ruin our dial friends and work on an album instead.

san gabriel is the new forward-thinking beat project from the multi-instrumentalist/producer butchy fuego. his upcoming ep volfe is full of warped and pulsing pan-global club music, a signature marriage of tropical riddims, dubbed out soundscapes and modern r&b minimalism. striking the perfect balance of booming bass and tricky rhythms, our first taste from the upcoming ep >gore text< makes for some serious sideways heat. san gabriel has caught the attention of the press early on with signature frantic rhythms and twitchy hi-hat work. along with >gore text<, san gabriel offers up a b-side (not on volfe) called >nu boots< that evokes some aztec sun rave in the year 2040 vibes. just a fiery taste of whats to come on this upcoming debut ep volfe.

“kind of blue” is probably the best-selling jazz record of all time. we precede the familiar stereo version with the legendary “kind of blue” mono mix - legendary because columbia records claimed that the tapes had been discarded long ago. the avaxhome audiophile website approved of the new perspective mono offers on a time-honoured classic, saying: “if you’re only used to hearing it in stereo, this will be a different experience. it sounds kind of “forward”, particularly the saxes. overall it has a nice timbre, especially in the midrange.”

we really dont know what they put into danish water, but somethings gotta be responsible for all that freeform talent pouring out of that country. think of whomadewho, jatoma, when saints go machine or kenton slash demon, all sharing a keen sense for structural complexity made accessible through emotion and pure boldness. these guys freed their minds a while ago, so the asses seemingly followed suit and now constantly demand to be shaken. with two of those acts already signed to kompakt and the other two being staff favorites since their first acoustic blurps, it was just a question of time until we would discover another totally unique producer from denmark. enters taragana pyjarama, a project whose music is as refined as it is chaotic, described by some as a fairytale with a bassline.
comes as double 10 inch vinyl, including cd-version of this release.

modern sun records presents its 3rd release, a dark, raw and soulfull house ep produced by skymark featuring the deep vocals of jair santiago. this new team has been recording a lot of tracks these last months, so this ep should be the beginning of a serie

on le rire ep jared wilson (7777 - skudge / detroit) leads the way with a pest chicago-house inspired rework, devilishly and deliciously analog without whittling down to a mere old-school homage, a sort of us-acid-dubstep version of addison groove, with a taste of slacker jak-beat for the nirvana generation! a melodic decomposer, scottish dam mantle (warp - ghostly international / glasgow) deceitfully feigns to mellow with what could at first glance seem like an edit. however deep excavations into the intense choir of >voyage vers l harmonie< leads to a surreal confrontation between a slum village like beat and a post-industrial version of melody nelson. thundery atmospheres, slippery slopes… the best way to pay tribute to luc marianni. famous for his duo as well as his label syncom data, nukubus (bunker / rotterdam) is nonetheless an inspired soloist, as this breathtaking remix once again proves. the 11 minutes long krautrock tunnel leaves many envious of its authenticity and sheer technical virtuosity. this swirling reinterpretation of mariannis work manages to leave the original behind and come into its own. its out of respect for the original work that nukubus requested to be credited only as a remixer. if youve bothered to read the few lines above, please remember it is both easier and wiser to form your own opinion with the vinyl in your own two hands. please note that the distribution of these eps will be accompanied by some very limited original editions of luc mariannis vinyls

ho tep presents a raw and ice cold ep of grime instrumentals with a fresh and visoral twist. produced by spainsh upstart noaipre - an affilate of mwselee and bfelcha - the horda ep is the sound of pirate radio gone crazy. this is what happens when east london infects the minds of our europena conterparts. disconpubulated neon riddims. enjoy.
