tom ellard is the creative force behind australian post-punk band severed heads. in 1982 he self-released two cassettes of solo material, “80s cheesecake” and “snappy carrion”. these cassettes document the transitional period between the early experimental severed heads’ albums “clean” and “blubberknife” before the start of something new with “since the accident”. with the advent of the then new roland tb-303 bass synthesizer, a machine synonymous with the acid house sound, tom began to write more beat driven material. the rhythms are made by a tr-808 drum machine, kawai s100f and sh-1 synthesizers, plus various televisions, radios, cassette decks and pedals. two songs from these cassettes would later appear on the b-side of the “dead eyes opened” single.

wonderful 70s work from tom ze! the record’s a bit more straightforward than some of his other records from the decade, and has a number of tracks with a samba sound at the base – but there’s more than enough fantastic material to keep the record fresh, and tom’s writing is as great as ever. there’s a vocal group that sings with ze on many of the tracks on the record – but they also seem to sometimes act as a greek chorus, in response to breakaway vocal passages that are dominated by ze. includes the excellent baroque funky number “dor e dor”, plus the tracks “sonho colorido de um pintor”, “a baba”, “o sandalo”, “a briga do edificio italia com o hilton hotel”, and “happy end”. pressing on 180 gram vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve.

mindblowing afro soul music from ivory coast served up by an obscure artist who only recorded four albums in between 1979 and the beginning of the 80’s. he created an original funky fusion with bété langage. a selection of four amazing tracks recorded in abidjan on two different records label called war records and as records. the music here is a mixture of funk with heavy basslines, traditional percussions, funky guitar riffs, nice horns section and lyrics in beté. the song «demonde» is inspired by harmonies of the famous «dance to the drummer beat» by herman kelly. those two rare records were found by afrobrazilero aka djamel hammadi and never appeared on the vinyl market. it’s almost impossible to have infos about this singer and composer neither the musicians involved in the recording sessions. most of the trace of the recording session were lost by the labels we licensed the tracks with. unique, pressed on a deluxe vinyl, remastered by the carvery, this very funky album is a must have for all the afro funk lovers!

bevor im april 2018 das debüt-album geography von tom misch erscheint, wird nun auch bei uns sein projekt beat tape 2 auf doppel-vinyl verfügbar gemacht. in den vergangenen monaten ist um tom ein regelrechter hype entstanden: ausverkaufe shows in london und berlin, sowie die wahl zum breakthrough artist bei den artist and manager awards in london! toms bisheriger erfolg lässt sich zum teil auf seine sehr engagierte fan-base zurückführen, die der multi-instrumentalist im alleingang aufgebaut hat und was auch die häufigkeit, mit der er die hype machine-spitzenposition erreicht, beweist. beat tape 2 hat ihm eine vielseitige fangemeinde beschert und seine musik wird von einer glaubwürdigen mannschaft von unterstützern gefeiert - von einem der größten dance music kanäle auf youtube, majestic casual, sowie von zane lowe, annie mac, huw stephens, clara amfo und jaden smith. süd-london sprüht vor kreativität und tom ist teil einer wahrhaft spannenden szene, von denen er mit einigen auf beat tape 2 kollaboriert. diese künstler teilen seine sensible, gefühlvolle, tiefmelodische und emotionale herangehensweise an die musik. der track easy love feat. carmody ging direkt auf platz 1 der hype machine charts. weitere künstler, die auf beat tape 2 mit tom zusammengearbeitet haben, sind u.a. loyle carner, jordan rakei und zak abel.

die vier walsh brüder dk, ian, luke und shaun sind begeisterte surfer. für -distance between dreams- ließen sie sich bei ihrem hobby filmen und wagten sich im pazifik an einige ungewöhnlich hohe wellen heran. dabei entstanden beeindruckende aufnahmen. die brüder nutzten die wetterfront el nino, die 2016 viel unheil anrichtete, den surfern aber die höchsten wellen ihrer karriere ermöglichte. tom holkenborg aka junkie xl stand einst für big beats und technoide sounds. diese hat er nicht abgelegt, sondern seine klangpalette einfach erweitert. für den soundtrack zu -distance between dreams-, ein film, der die weite des meeres und die dynamik der natur-kräfte abbildet, passt dies ideal. so treffen weite soundscapes, die von trance und ambient geprägt sind (die manchmal durchaus an chicane erinnern), auf unerwartet heftige beats.

nice price deal !!! new years deal - what more can be said about 2016 for red rack em apart from massive? in march, he released the instant classic wonky bassline disco banger which has been one of the biggest selling house tracks of the year, picking up praise and plays across the board from moodymann, the black madonna and mcde right through to disclosure and mark ronson.
tomato pope is a slamming party banger. somewhere between house, techno, african music and broken beat, the drums are driving, the bassline is huge and the vocal samples get mangled throughout the track. it s another guaranteed floor wrecker from red rack em and gives a tantalising taste of the lp weight to follow.

5 track ep. yamahas dx series of synthesizers has long been a source of inspiration for tom trago. the dx7, in particular, appeals to the dutch producer thanks to a unique sound that he describes as glassy but classic and icy. 34 years after it went on sale the same year as trago was born, interestingly the synthesizer’s sound still bristles with futurist appeal. trago, who was partially trained in how to use the dx7 by studio friends bok bok, sterac electronics and juju and jordash, has decided to pay tribute to this most distinctive of synthesizers by using it as inspiration for serene waters, his first ep for voyage direct since 2014 epic hidden heart of gold.

es wird nicht mehr viel länger nur einem kleinem kreis bekannt sein, dass der berliner schauspieler tom schilling tatsächlich schon seit vielen jahren seine eigenen lieder komponiert und schreibt. doch es bedurfte erst der bekanntschaft mit den »jazz kids« (ein haufen musikalischer Überflieger, die mehr oder weniger extra vom regisseur des films »oh boy« jan-ole gerster für dessen soundtrack zusammen gewürfelt wurden, nur um dann folgerichtig den deutschen filmpreis für die beste filmmusik zu gewinnen), um mit eben diesen liedern ans licht der Öffentlichkeit zu treten und ihr debut album »vilnius« zu kreieren.

tucked away in a now not-so-quiet corner of south east london, wholemeal have been quietly, unobtrusively getting shit done. wholemeal music’s freshman release hits the shelves this month featuring two cuts from yam records boss tom esselle and a hoofing remix from fellow south-londoner west norwood cassette library. skilfully treading the line between house, techno, and jazz, the a-side, until she spoke is a superlative exercise in light-touc h sampling and devastatingly effective rhodes work. it shuffles then stomps, hypnotises then elates, bringing together disparat e threads to create something for the head and the heart. the title track, garibaldi, maintains the light-touch sampling thread and then takes it to a whole new plane of drum-driven dancefloor detonation. twisting chord hits whirl around a savage interplay between bass and drums before dropping back to an elemental pounding, bypassing the brain and heading straight for the feet. long time wholemeal friend and serious contender for the nicest man in music award bob wncl has very kindly picked up garibaldi by the scruff of the neck, grafted an enormous pair of junglist balls onto it and kicked it screaming across t he dancefloor. this is about as peak-time as it gets. wait for the wall of bass after the second drop, its enough to stop you breathing.
