2015 will prove a benchmark year for scissor and thread with the rising momentum of frank & tony and desert sound colony and now with the introduction after many months of work of their new enigmatic artist, rosas nievas, with a sublime debut ep, every inch of you. like a tip of the hat to herbert, the title track entices with easy piano licks, a cooing vocal and a lush atmospheric enveloping the floor in a warm embrace. flipping the switch, the bounce of opinions propels dancers into hands-up, chicago-style elation, while the rollicking, looping closer, hear me rain, entrances with its early morning psychedelia. completing the package is a breakaway edit from label heads, frank & tony, who transform every inch of you into a sun-drenched, euphoric deep house stormer, in a way only they can do.

throw is the 1st track here, which manages to loop a refrain and bass that candy staton anthem, all the while sounding like a forgotten moodymann mpc jam. vocals, skipping snares, a bouncing tambourine & one of the finest bassline ever written (by someone else) compell you to dance. need your love is a heads down sample house jam. it’s looping vocal, super tight drums, woozy chord stabs and sirens make it feel like the result of a studio session between a 90’s dubbed out louie vega & man-like switch (before he went feral).

subtly pulsating, spaced out, classy ambient techno ep

borrowed music return to wax see s a release that very nearly didn t see the light of day. between the years of 1995-99, toka project were writing tracks at diy s studio and releasing ep s with their label, s4g. these tracks were stored on dat tape (remember) and left for release at a later date. when the toka boys moved into their own place the dats were misplaced and presumed lost for good. unknown to anyone at the time, the tracks had simply been placed on a hard drive and forgotten about, until now. so, borrowed is very proud to present a slice of unreleased 90s house just the way we like it

having previously used their dnuos ytivil offshoot to release material from their nearest and dearest (think batu, bruce, hodge and alex coulton), bristols livity sound crew turns to unknown french producer simo cell. the two tracks showcased here are a rather fine introduction to this newcomer, with opener *piste jaune* offering a clandestine blend of stuttering electro bass, discordant analogue percussion hits and spooky electronics. the mystery man goes for the jugular on *cellar door*, with pitched-down, bleep style melodies and liquid electronics riding an off-kilter, broken techno groove. another fine livity release.

white asega co-­owner jack dixon wrote new curtains after a friend who was coming wildly off the rails told him he was a good producer but his tunes were boring. the original version was really sparse and about 300bpm. when jack moved to new york the parts got lost, so he remade the track a dozen times. this was the version we all liked best, although jack never wants to hear it again in his life. it sounds tough and tropical. our friend troy gunner remixed it, and turned it into something so loud and slamming it will knock your teeth out. after telling jack to stop making boring music, mark kodiak spent two horrendous years working with jamie kodiak on a song they ve called taargus. it nearly destroyed their friendship forever but we think it was worth it. it has brutal weapon sounds, nasty snares and an incessant “yo” that has been described as “annoying and unnecessary”. the artist tom pounder has created a blinding video for it that contains brand new colours. french born bass genius bambounou stepped up to remix the track, taming the wild stems into a hypnotic early­morning house stepper. it took us approximately 2000 exhausting facebook group chats, four cross­atlantic flights and one divorce to get to this point. we hope you will enjoy this record for the rest of your lives. rip ken tulley.

after the immersive techno pulse of qindeks effe 12inch, wavereform is thrilled to present the return of rising lativan talent juras lietus to our label for our fifth release. his debut single des-m marked our second release in 2014, and while the artist remains something of a mystery outside of his home city of riga, his productions sport the kind of well-travelled tones that transcend geographical location to deliver an infectious message. the single kicks off with metallic thump of >steiga<, which leaps out from the very start with an addictive chord line and a well-rounded kick. juras lietus handles the progression of his track with poise, feeding in a rich tapestry of percussive elements and teasing the filter on that distinctive synth to give the track a fluid, psychedelic flavour. balancing these elements out is a warm, undulating bassline that injects a joyous energy into the track, while the soul-stirring speech sample should be familiar to any socially conscious dancer. its a production that satisfies the needs of a party-hungry dancefloor while equally delivering the internal reflection that comes with all great dub techno.

think early relief records and the green velvet sound of the mid 90s, very cerebral and freaky undertones. all of this done from an earlier mathematic artist coming back into the game. included on the ep is a take on some jungle with a twist of analog house notes on top.

we are very happy to announce the 2nd release of smallevilless jacques bon in this year. this time he collaborated with legendary chicago house artist virgo four. their in a vision is one of our most fav chicago house track. jacquess sweet original version and our long time friend superpitcher made great rework

the virgo ep is the 4th of mutewax’s non-stop output, featuring french artist cømpass. vindemiatrix is a classy, uplifting peak-time track that sneaks up behind you. if you were thinking of leaving the dance floor. think again. spica lays heavy on the kick-drum & thick bass-lines. it’s a mind-winding trip which reveals a mature twist on the classic acid tweets. arcturus bounces joyfully across the dance-floor and picks up the pace with its hard-hitting acid notes and infectious rhythms. porrima beautifully stirs the emotions - the melodic rhythms predict a sweet future, yet it retains an atmospheric nostalgia for all things which must pass.

for moss co. s fourth release, and first solo artist ep, they look to londons antony difrancesco. antony s selective output on other london labels like fuse and othertones, has seen regular support from the highest echelons of house and techno. his enviable collection of hardware, and seemingly endless flow of creative ideas, are displayed brilliantly on mossv004. the record opens with vio - a mystical track, filled with toms, bass and groove tied together with ethnic strings and an eerie pad. left takes more of an experimental turn, with playful bass bouncing around the spectrum, complemented with analogue squelches. a beautifully warm pad brings an element of romance to the track, and crisp tops keep it dance-floor focused. on the remix, martinez uses his signature concealed sound to devastating effect, transforming track into a sleek, minimalistic, late-night affair.

‘streetlight soul’ is the inaugural release on new imprint gnosis. this four track ep is the fifth myriadd record, following 12-s for crème organization, pinkman and signals. the past decade has seen releases from the artist under a variety of pseudonyms including acid phreex (djax-up-beats), mantra (bunker, abstract acid, solar one music) and monofonix (iwari, cataclyst). across the ep, myriadd remoulds the template of vintage chicago house, acid and deep house into his vision of modern house music. opening with midnight obsession , working a dark hypnotic bassline into an endless groove of crisp jacking drums and soul stirring melody, all primed for maximum effect at 4am when lost in the smoke and strobes. visions of love is driven by a juno bassline, a classic palette of tumbling, infectiously funky drums, warm, enveloping synth atmospherics and elevated by lush, celestial string work which comes off like some fantasy mr fingers + virgo psychedelic jam. the ep’s titular track goes deeper into the night with 909 claps, off-kilter snare hits, melancholy synth and ethereal melodies that ascend and dissolve into neon clouds. closer back to nature is a trip into blissed out, tropical house sounding like a lost balearic classic re-tweaked for the 21st century..

scrambled rhythms features two original classic house tracks from the outstanding hector moralez alongside two brutal remixes. the real house gangster dj sneak is guilty of an acid interpretation of ten 30 one 33 , while the prolific artist tuccillo completes the b side of the release with a different approach to scrambled rhythms . roush continues with the hard work while we expect you love our first vinyl press as much as we do.
