the see it through ep is the debut release from kris le vay. the eponymous a side is the most dance floor orientated track, with kicking drums and a driving, melodic bass line guaranteed to get the crowd moving. its also an awesome headphone experience, with involved, complex percussive elements that keep the ear interested and euphoric breakdowns that truly pull at the heartstrings. the b1, entitled melt, is a cheeky little number that bounces around with plenty of polyrhythm. the counterpoint between the deep bass and twinkling top melody leads to the unconventional, yet mesmerising breakdown. the release is rounded off by one hot ride, which is one hot track! starting with ominous dark synths that spin themselves into a stomping hip-hop tempo beat, this anthemic rich blend of sound winds itself up from a menacing introduction on an exhilarating journey through a complex and intricate soundscape. limited to 300 colour vinyl.

released in 1973, pronounced >l&#277,,,,,,,h- nérd skin- nérd< is the debut album of legendary pioneers of southern rock lynyrd skynyrd. they brought together all the best elements of southern culture – blues, country, garage rock, southern poetry – and created a gumbo of southern sounds and flavors as none had done before. there are few debut albums that sounds as raw and determined as pronounced does, and this is largely due to the hard, lean edge that lynyrd skynyrd bring to the music. the album features the songs >i aint the one<, >gimme three steps< and >free bird<, their famous rock anthem. music on vinyl is proud to present this album, which marks the birth of a great band that spawned an entire genre.

next detroit - chicago bomb by echonomist. incl huge john dimas remix. like an aficionado of acid house echonomist returns with a stormer on third wave. this time his hyped chord progressions resolve into a groove that is more or less a reminiscence of the hacienda days. dans mon salon sings in black shades >i feel for you<, >to lock with a groove that i crave for<. a praise to jack, a praise to the way of jack. ultimately, >jack had a groove. and from this groove came the grooves of all grooves<… john dimas goes deeper underground with a simple primitive like pulsating groove. the insistent bass line tone (that slowly unravels an opening filter) clearly connects to old skool techniques of acid house masters.
