>>possibly the best spoon album<< - now available in high quality 180gr vinyl.

for flash lützenkirchen delivers three very classy dancefloor burners. first up there is >enter the moonlight<, an enchanting piece of thumping peak time business. a big bass, pumping beats and some great oriental sounds combined with far-out effects create a unique atmosphere. modern styles meet oldskool feelings! >on the shore< is even more oldskool than that. the fat and wobbly bassline pushes the track forward and creates the perfect antagonism to the warm effects and clicky minimal beats. the highlight - however - is the wonderfully written melodic piano piece that turns this track from wicked into wow! beautiful and tough, oldskool and fresh, slick and funky - all at the same time. this one is going to be huge. listen for yourself! at last there is >pokemon companion<, a more direct and solid piece of minimal tech. a drum’n bass like powerfully grumbling bass, and yet another memorable synthie pattern that seems to grow out of the buzzing loop like a spring flower out of wet grass - naturally and wonderful!

hector moralez forms another formidable partnership with jump recordings dj jaz. coming from the west side offers 2 top notch original cuts and kicks off with a bang on a1. drive slow combines smooth female vocals with organic keys to create a deep twisted house groover. summer windy is a peak time affair that uses live sax loops and sleek beats and arrives just in time for the start of those hot summer months. hudd traxx label bosses slum science pick the pace up on the b side with a remix that would fit in well into sets of jocks like inland knights, dj heather, ralph lawson, chris carrier & dj raoul. the slumsters work out tough beats with clever stabs,...

nice price deal !!! more dark, brooding, bass laden breaks form the transverse crew, if you like your breaks tough the white papoo has got you covered!

killer modern house from depths of deep space. adam marshalls original mix takes swinging chicago drums and paints them a dark black, while chord stabs morph and evolve in a tough, organic style on this 11-minute journey. mike shannons impressive re-working tightens everything up and funks the hell out of the groove with sizzling dry hats, sub-bass ruminations, and one serious breakdown. one of his best remixes yet by far. both are serious club killers

third album young desire, again captures the fervour witnessed on lapkos live shows. taking in themes of vulnerability and anxiety beneath hardened exteriors, aching feelings, pressure and confusion, the album is a mental trip back to the schoolyard, where tough guy antics and leather armor cant hide the convulsions underneath. theres new depth and dynamic in the bands expression, fitting for a gang of seasoned rock musicians. these two art school dropouts and metal worker have come a long way from harjavalta (though they still gather there to rehearse and play) and have evolved as a band and as friends.

black rocket is a banger in the vein of the dirty 98 bristol sound that was cherished by folks like decoder and tech itch. a reverberating wood block snare, a big fat distorted bassline and dizzying white noise to fill up any frequency space that was left make this track a tough pill to swallow.
