adrien and marco aka villanova hail from france and have really put their sound on the map in recent times. taken from the monk ep released a few months ago, on the loose is an innovative track combining the dark bluesy vocals from elbi with a unique brand of electronic soul. here is a special version produced by mr fingers aka larry heard.

it grabs you and turns you round. resistance is futile. fall into it gleefully because the darkness has been lit, there is a chill in the air and you feel as taut as a bow. laurent pastor and marc lapeyre (fkclub) are responsible for decadanse where ice doesnt hurt anymore according to the whisper in the title track. the label head was convinced by his partner to start production in a basement studio to create a sound using guitars and synthesisers. the coming together of these 2 strong (id)entities has culminated in an ep which is cinematic (train in vein, easy drive), distinguished post-punk (plan b) and electronic (decadanse). and when susuma makai ventures into the meandering ruin, he delivers a mind-blowing version.

little is known about the london-based producer and dj who goes by the name of u, but that hasnt quelled praise from bedroom heads, industry tastemakers and big name press alike. audio arbiter george fitzgerald originally met u on a holiday in greece and immediately commissioned a handful of 12inches, each brimming with trademark mechanical bliss, like pleasure tinged with menace. u has since gone on to release for erol alkans phantasy sounds (both as a solo artist and in collaboration with babe, terror as btu), being given the nod by the guardian, mixmag and the line of best fit.

die 28 songs auf dem limitierten doppelvinyl *feel so fine* sind maßgebliche aufnahmen in der entwicklung des reggae vorläufers, ska (oder blue beat). nachdem der shuffle blues aus new orleans die jamaikanischen soundsystems bis in die 60er dominierte, fingen parallel zur entwicklung des soul in den usa soundsystemgrössen wie arthur duke reid und clement seymour coxson dodd an, eigenene lokale aufnahmen zu produzieren, die sich schliesslich immer weiter vom new orleans r&b entfernten und zu ska wurden.

one of these things is not like the others. put veteran producer and general madman eddie ruscha (aka secret circuit, laughing light of plenty, dadamunchamunky) in a studio with the spritely whipper-snapper diego herrera (aka suzanne kraft & 1/3 pharaohs) and your results will be nothing less than an epic jam. as the name blasé suggests, their laxadasical style and confident panache is abundant. the duo ease into their productions with a cool hand and an open mind, letting the moment take them somewhere foreign to bask in surreal surroundings, but not without documenting the trip.
