>afro rock vol. 1< is one of the most important compilations of heavy original 70s afro funk and soul to be released in recent years. originally surfacing on duncan brookers indie kona label in early 2001, the album single-handedly kick-started the thirst among jazz, funk and soul fans and diggers to rediscover lost music from africa made during the 60s and 70s from a time when many countries were gaining independence and celebrating a pan-african identity within their music. the album was one of the first to reach a far different audience to the traditional ?world music? market and spawned many further projects and labels in its wake. a year later, the >nigeria 70< compilation surfaced on strut and labels like soundway and analog africa would continue to unearth amazing lost gems from the motherland.

the latest release from relish recordings is from label boss headman. private show is the 2nd single from the upcoming headman album 1923. the synth filled dancefloor jam is the culmination of old school manhead with the modern headman trademarks - heavier basslines and big drums. the track features vocal great steve mason (man behind betaband/blackaffair/kingbiscuittime) who has set a somewhat deviant mood to the track with some smooth vocals, making this a track better to listen to rather than read about. private show also comes with remixes from relish new-comers tape to tape, who have come through with a two part remix of the track as well as a remix from gommas telonius

when casting a weary eye towards the impending chill of winter, its important to remember that the choice of company kept can greatly affect the way in which one wiles away the long gray hours. in this case, we didnt even need to look further than our own backyard. enter deep techno masons, donor/truss. made up of greg schappert of brooklyn and tom russell of wales, their collective efforts have seeped into the consciousness of world class djs, producers and fans of uncompromising techno music through releases on synewave, miniscule, dilek, and dumb unit. with this, their first ep on thema, they have begun expanding their signature sound. the heady claustrophobia we’ve come to know and love has opened up just enough, spurring a graceful and startling evolution. we also would like to say that we re very happy that themas first release for the year 2010 is, in part, from local nyc based talent. mr schappert has been a big supporter of this label for quite sometime and to have him and tom step onboard is just about the best way we can think of to start the new year. the future is here, welcome 2010!

der zweite part des jonzon comebacks in 2010 und dafür einfach hier nicht mehr und nicht weniger als die blanke, ungenierte dokumentation des einschlägigen berlin techno, wie man ihn bereits mitte der 90-er jahre nicht besser hätte erhalten können. die tracks wie >make up< und >see the light< erreichen dabei auf diesem streng auf 300 copies limitierten vinyl mühelos den reifegrad eines abgeklärten alterswerks, in dem die kühle technoide klangarchitektur mit vielen impressionistischen soundskizzen angereichert wird und die am ende dennoch aus dem off jede menge schwingungen und techno-funk auf den boden bringt, der anschaulich, als ganz grosser wurf aus dem nowhere auf einmal wieder ganz dicke prognosen für die zukunft von jonzon, und nicht nur diesem, verspricht. man darf hier jetzt schon gespannt sein, wie die jonzon-story weitergeht. the only way is up!

their debut perc trax release opens up with noson, a track which perfectly demostrates their sound, with tough but clear 909 drums underpinning a dubbed-out industrial soundscape that continually evolves as the track runs its course. on the flipside comes the 2-part indifference. part 1 featuring intense echoing synth stabs over clipped drums whilst part 2 goes deeper, but still with enough muscle to work in the sets of most djs. watch out for donor / truss remix of forward strategy group, coming up on perc trax in early 2010.

encer kincy was giant in chicagos house music revival - part of the second wave of younger djs and producers that took the music of the early 1980s, rubbed it up and dropped it in places like 500 west cermak, medusa’s and the vault. a lot of people who are now superstars of the scene - mark farina, sneak, derrick carter, and dozens of others - were a part of that movement, too. spencer released a number of tracks on relief, planet e, cajual, peace frog - labels representing the classics of that era - and he usually recorded under the name gemini. as a dj, he operated in his own space - i’m sure he could play for a room, and sometimes did, but the unrestrained madness of a spencer kincy dj set had to be heard over several hours to appreciate. he could blend a sleazy disco track into hard acid, downtempo into a punishing armani track, jazz into detroit techno and so on. it wasn’t technically brilliant or tricky, but the selection was exquisite. a number of figures from his era still list him as an influence. his productions, viewed as a whole, are so much like his sets: going softer than many dared to go, and going much harder than just about any dared to go. simple jack tracks! respected by the standards of the industry of the time, and you certainly couldn’t go anywhere in chicago without hearing derrick, sneak, mark, lego, gene, jevon, diz, johnny or the other djs beating them. and so many of them have a timelessness - a little piece of eternity stuck like some bit of wax between the grooves
