feverish new eaux release, limited white vinyl 1st edition, printed disco bag. although rroses alma mater record label sandwell district may now be defunct, the actively ambiguous american producer shows no signs of slowing down. after launching his own experimental techno label eaux earlier this year and making true-to-name appearances dressed as a sophisticated, chic female, rrose has continued to pursue elusiveness while ironically garnering an enthusiastic following amongst techno purists. without a doubt, the release of > wedge of chastity< will further reinforce the sonic niche that the eaux label has carved out for itself.

supported by audiofly, betoko, climbers, mart, audiofreak, dre, theelement, lopazz,dirtcrew,, whimee, joao teixeira, james flavour, the town, samh3, sammy & alex, rise n fall, femi fem and more… chilli mint music give us another superb deep house/nu disco ep from their very limited 180 vinyl series. this time being the excellent hypnotising 4 track ep a very smooth and groovy 4 track ep from the very talented jonny herring & cale farmer aka sellouts. sellouts already have taken the no 1 position last month in the juno download charts with their excellent track envy and continue to dominate the charts with their superb style and other release at present…these boys already have major support form some of the biggest djs out

the sccucci manucci label has done a fine job of handpicking artists on the rise for their releases to date, collaring the likes of casino times, francis inferno orchestra and toomydisco as well as the odd established name like jacques renault. the labels fourth release forza quattro is still grounded in the disco/house sensibility that has served them so well, though the presence of waze & oddysey demonstrates the sccucci a & r team are willing to deviate. the elusive us pair are in the midst of a hot patch right now with releases already burning on body work and southern fried and plenty more due over the coming months, so their presence here is a real coup. i cant hear you sounds vaguely like a extra bouncy cover of the classic rip groove and definitely ranks alongside their output to date. alongside this the white vinyl ep has tempo traversing contributions from fil lavin, sellouts and deadly sins, with the latters slow and chuggy -dont you know- a particular highlight

>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.

another mouthwatering viper beatz release sees the daylight and this bombshell is guaranteed to devastate the dance floors on a global scale. live a lie a jewel in the typical way only g town madness & the viper can create, breathes brilliance and has not only been receiving heavy dj support from the total top in hardcore such as endymion, nosferatu, tomyknocker, dj panic and evil acitivies, but is also to be found on major compilations like hardcore to the bone xiii, and in qontrol. with its impressive anthem break live a lie brings unity and gets back to that true feeling of hardcore: come as one! envy shows the raw side of these craftsman resulting in an ear piercing, raging, full in your face hardcore track yet without losing any of the true g town madness & the viper feel. the result is a raw hardcore bomb, as probably many would not expect from this magical duo. crazy edits, weird synth patterns and freaked distorted bone shattering kick drums bring a refreshingly different taste within g town madness & the viper releases till date. current dj support by the likes of partyraiser, neophyte, tha playah and outblast. when angerfist heard cliffhanger, he decided to give it an angerfist refix. gtm and the viper were so pleasantly surprised when they heard this, they immediately decided to let everyone enjoy this fine piece of rework. after circulating within the hardcore scene for quite a while also this tune will leave a mark on the hardcore scene as we know it.

lithuanian producer paulius lincius (aka moon disco) presents his first vinyl release on the respected control tower label, run by the dexorcist & radioactive man, and shows a subtlety and deftness of touch that many more experienced producers would envy. treading the path of classic electro can be a dangerous game if the sounds arent just so, but fortunately paulius has been doing his homework and keeps it simple and clean. radioactive man offers up a remix that roughens things up a little bit and throws some datasette-esque sounds into the equation, but still keeps pretty close to the traditional electro blueprint. overall a strong release for those that prefer their beats and bass with a slightly nostalgic edge...

over the course of the past ten years, stil vor talent has striven to support emerging young artists, to continuously broaden and redefine its sound, and, ultimately, to create lasting memories, both on and off the dance floor. the dance floor is the place where we gather to leave the worries of our everyday lives behind, and, for those few moments, form a bond, which transcends the final track of the night. a bond between each other between the artist and the dancer between ourselves and the music. on 10 years stil vor talent we celebrate this bond and say thank you.

qwazaar & batsauce follow up their masterful style be the king ep (2011, fifth element/galapagos4) with a 14-track juggernaut entitled bat meets blaine. the record is an absolute rarity a series of inspired sessions from a world-class mc & producer team at the height of their respective powers. batsauce provides ambidextrous backdrops that are as multilayered as they are strident, while qwazaar simply astonishes, baring his soul while performing near-impossible lyrical feats. its a record all true heads should cop and that all lab scientists can envy.

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 album is testament to the determined work of brooker following several research trips, especially to east africa - kenya and zaire!
