megadon betamax as we have come to expect from the megamax, falling is all analogue warmth and big bottom boogie love. this mid- tempo track is laced with lush synths, ethereal soulful vocals and a twinge of surf guitar. dj raw sugar goes deep with a dusky, dubbed out remix that will have every head nodding. a megadon classic from vr002 is revived by austrian talent lesale, who turned in a version of he cant love you that couldnt be ignored. sweet sweet sweet!

limited 1st edition in picture sleeve, 1st ever vinyl outing for these long lost post-industrial classics... this lp release on blackest ever black is a selection of the best black rain instrumentals from those 94-95 sessions: seven richly atmospheric, brooding rhythm tracks that together constitute a lost classic of post-industrial music, and a genuine cyberpunk artefact, remastered and cut to vinyl for the very first time

for the first release of 2012, old friends of lazy days, lawnchair generals make a rare appearance on the label with their new single >dont stop<. the duo made of peter christianson and carlos mendoza were featured separately on the feel ep last year. this song was written for their exclusive live performance at the decibel festival in seattle last year. this classic lcg tracks also comes with a superb dub for the late nights.
rob mello was an easy choice for the remix as we have been long time friends and fans of his. he took the track apart and gave us his unique no ears approach to the remix, a twisted deep afterhours biz. we hope you enjoy the release.

montreal-native tazz delivers new kanada three jacking and psychotic beat trax for an aggressive entry into 2012. tazz and bacanito unravel the threads of aggression in the lead cut >cosmic sex<. metallic heavy machine funk for those winter nights. >wanderer< is a late night ode to model 500, with waves of synths burrowing into the ground to produce a dark wave classic. cold, pure and supple. >mermaids and mermen< is is the tough club killer in the package. a deep tricky dub transforms into an underwater symphony of rusted hooks and fm pads… a serious lights out, head down burner.

in a career laden with highlights and hallmarks in the annals of soul history, >just as i am< is rather overlooked as one of the best soul debuts ever issued. beautifully remastered, >just as i am< is presented to a new generation of listeners who may have missed out the first time.
give this classic record a spin, and get ready to be submersed in the soul of one of the true masters of the genre!
remastered re-issue on 180 grams audiophile vinyl, including the hitsingle >aint no sunshine<.

ncql annouces himself in no uncertain fashion with the anthemic strings of >the framed dreams of loki<. the track nods to dj premier, prefuse 73 and classic metalheadz d&b hidden agenda style and theres a subtle (!) reference to a certain classic 90s rave tune in there aswell. it sounds like a mess – its anything but! this is uplifting breakbeat at its very best. its not often a tune gets played twice by bailey on his bbc 1xtra show in the space of a month, so this must be something special. the flipside has a similar organic & uplifting aesthetic. a strutting break is the base for a deluge of warmth in the shape of synths, strings, flutes, harp and vocals – an unusual sound palette for a drum & bass track these days but refreshing to hear. dj flight thought so and has aired it on one of her next chapter rinse fm broadcasts.

fantastic package with 2012 remixes of this all time classic!

victoriaville finishes the exploration of stefan goldmanns sweet track archives with 3 unreleased house gems. the main tracks here are pure dancefloor material, with electric bazaar centering on in-depth drum design. zobel network provides a prime example of neurofunk. hidden on the a side, chapter 2 is an early hint at stefan’s experimental edge. essential! revisiting the years 2000 - 2005,emptying the vaults highlights the era of stefan goldmanns uk years. often his actual releases with classic and ovum reflected just a part of the possible. now victoriaville proudly steps in to let the whole thing shine. restored from the original master tapes and cut by d&ms rashad, here’s some startling evidence of how deep the roots of house actually were in berlin years before the hype set in.

following his successful >tears in vain 12inch< on perspectiv, promising new producer simon garcia continues his quest for the holy-grail of modern house and techno as we set forth into >cavern<. and indeed >cavern< is a breathtaking ride - a warm pulsating synth pattern is coaxed along by a dusty, filtered kick before we are greeted with rushing bright percussion and a thunderous lead kick. wild fx open up the floor with the first ecstatic break and from there on the track runs with a mind of its own, exploding with rapturous drama and tasteful restraint. bringing us back down to earth at least for a moment. ‚bass ii bass‘ treads more swinging, groovy territories in a classic ny styled house track, updated for 2012. freaky, pitching vocals swirl around a tight bass-led rhythm section, telling a futuristic story of hopeless hedonism. the emotive-piano house vibes of ‚options‘ will likely raise a few tingling hairs for those well acquainted with steve bug‘s recent dj sets. the perfect blinded-by-the-morning-sun moment, mr. garcia really shows of his classy production skills with this slinky, moody slice of classic house.

juan atkins returns to r&s on a model 500 solo mission. the last model 500 single enlisted the help of the live line up that includes detroit techno royalty mike banks and ur alumni mark taylor, but this latest release is just juan in the studio and back at his best. >control< is vintage model 500, the classic electro that atkins pretty much invented, with his treated vocals riding over the crisp rhythm programming, dark basslines and detroit synths. >the messenger< on the flip is a moodier affair, with the liquid synths almost running away with themselves over the rough beats. model 500 and r&s has proved to have been a classic combination over the years and this release is one to file next to the classics.

a product of his surroundings, wasserfall creates organic, electronic music using an array of tools - including a nord modular g2x, a roland tr 909, a roland sp 404 sampler & an apogee ensemble – but dont think for one minute that its all about the gear, and that he is just a technical producer. field recordings feature heavily in his work, and you can often find him patrolling the streets of oslo or berlin hunting for the perfect sound that will convey his ideas within the piece. anders is just as at home creating scores for film as he is producing rhythms for the dance floor, during his time in berlin he created a contemporary soundtrack of the old russian silent-fim classic a man with a movie camera (dziga vertov 1929) which was performed live in berlin, bremen and in bergen. after all this is said and done, the e.p boils down to just one thing - house music for the heads. nothing lightweight, just the heavy goods. long time coming on vinyl, dont miss out on the result of a year of work getting it just right, if you managed to bag the previous #gcw vinyl you know we take absolute pride in our output. a strictly limited pressing. mastered to 180g vinyl by the one & only john dent @ loud mastering.
