bokhari records is a vinyl only label. bokhari has been inspired by mo wax of old, and firecracker of present where care was/is also taken on packaging and design. each release will feature a different illustrator / artist for the design. musically we will aim to stick loosely within the realms of house and techno, but often with our own slant on it, and as the first release shows, in this case will include some afro percussion and a touch of acid. bokhari 001 only 300 copies will be pressed. artwork for release 001 is by the excellent illustrator andy potts (former head of design at abbey road studios), and every single vinyl will be signed and numbered. remix comes from the ever consistent mark e, who has taken the shrunken head bassline and made a 10 minute druggy, chuggy, loopy, creepy monster (and anything else you want with a ‘y’ at the end!)

lampuka records is a new underground electronic music label dedicated to releasing quality music on limited vinyl pressings & digital. the ethos for lampuka according to boss raimo: thought provoking and mood evoking. i want people to remember when they first encountered a lampuka.
the labels inaugural release features original tracks from head honcho raimo and up and coming producer tomas rubeck, who has a growing number of releases under his belt. lovingly hand stamped and limited to 375 physical copies, this release also features a spellbinding remix from edinburghs finest deep house confectioner gavin sutherland aka fudge fingas - known for his sublime work on prime numbers and the uber collectible firecracker imprint.

heralding the birth of the first leleka is a limited edition, hand stamped, two-tone vinyl release from the labels owner vakula from konotop, whos name is widespread due to the success of releases on firecracker, and recently shevchenko (white labels with prints of ukrainian literary celebrities such as gogol, lesya ukrainka & shevchenko himself). these are an ideally captured ukrainian landscape of change, struggle, nature and art slightly embellished by industrial design of the 50s. and this is what the leleka label is all about, its musical concept reflects vakulas love of folk and live music, where passions and melodies play leading roles. this debut release contains six vintage tracks from vakula, almost serving as a prologue to his recent epic output. the meeting of imported soul, exploitation movies and detroit techno, with ukrainian folk melodies and soviet electronics, offers a glimpse into vakulas way of working, and gives us a taste of things to come

strictly limited vinyl with no re-press, silkscreened artwork by house of traps, clear vinyl, housed in japanese poly jackets, vakula has been releasing some quality tracks over the last few months but once again he delivers his finest work to the firecracker/unthank stable. a strong contrast to the debut unthank ep from bakey ustl, this 3 tracker contains influences as diverse as aphex twin, claro intellecto or even dbx. heralding the release of several vakula eps on both labels over the next 3 months, this clear vinyl 10 inch is strictly limited. the sleeves will, as ever, have silk-screened artwork wrapped in a japanese poly jacket. act fast folks as there will be no re-press!

boys noize new album >power< has been released in october 2009 and already got massiv support across all genres. >transmission< is the 2nd single out of >power<, its static unheared synth sound, its robot voices (you are neutron because lazor transmission) on a breakbeat gives you a feeling of josh winks early hit >higher states of conciousness< going to bed with kraftwerks sound aesthetic and robots on a 2010 afterparty. this release includes a dream package of remixes and also a video to follow shortly after. well respected electronica producer mr. oizo (ed banger) does what he can do best by twisting the original to a serious moment of a firecracker, tiga takes the main idea of the original song and turns it into the perfect 4/4 banger, bnr s super talented djedjotroic delivers 2 remixes: 1 acid drivin shot and a big room techno dub for friends of len faki or dubfire. with the untold remix (hessle audio) you probably get dubstep s most interesting producer bringing an epic dubstep version. last but not least you get a real deep techno remix by the techno master himself: james ruskin (bluefin rec). resident dj of berlin s berghain delivers a top of his class techno mix.

another slick double artist 12 inch from the 2nd drop camp and for this, our 9th release, soushakerz head honcho and kent second finest achievement after the channel tunnel, j:kenzo, offers a blistering a side with conqueror. this moody, skittish and intense bongo led firecracker that descends into a thumping bass skank out on the drop, is pure dancefloor dynamite.
