one of rough trades island 50th anniversary selection - 50 crucial titles, specially selected by us to highlight the unique contribution this seminal label has made to british music since 1959. the results of nick drakes solo sessions were as harrowing and stark as anything by robert johnson or charley patton. enclosed in an inner world of psychological distress, drake recorded pink moons dispatches from a private hell that was simultaneously terrifying and beautiful. both the lyrics and the melodic motifs are pared to the bone here, their simplicity making them all the more immediately striking. the most nakedly emotional and disturbing moment is probably parasite, a visceral but mysterious account of a disconsolate soul roaming through the world in search of succor, with drake taking the starring role, ultimately offering, take a look, you may see me in the dirt. this was the end of the road for nick drake in more ways than one, but just the beginning for the scores of songwriters subsequently inspired by his bleak but beautiful visions.

schwarz s club mix re-engineers the track as a sleek dance tune, speeding up chris vocal into a restless, nervy, emotionally naked torch song. his dub version, meanwhile, builds into a hypnotic instrumental collage of bubbling beats, twinkling pianos and elastic basslines. at over seven minutes long, not a second is wasted.
by contrast, the chic parisian re-edit maestro pilooski strips the track down into a cubist collage of rhythmic throbs and sparkles, with a staccato piano melody pulsing through it like a heartbeat. it s a playful and vibrant fusion, where soul-baring yorkshire poetry meets sleek french disco chic.

this release is a very special one for us… indeed, roskow kretschmann has been for years one of the music makers that surprised us constantly and teased our appetite, displaying his rich musical background inside of projects like jazzanova, kosma or sygaire. the tracks selected by dairmount (after hours hanging out in roskows sound lab over the years) are genuinely outstanding in his entire discography. they sound like no others and reveal rare aspects of his >musical persona<. this is why they are representing perfectly our quest for >hybrid club music< crossing the lines of the original spirit of house & techno. the ep opens with the futuristic techno soul of the time is now. perfectly named, the tune fuses with class, dusty jazz samples, obscure soul vocals, juicy claps and overwhelming detroit techno keys. the result is a timeless club monster for the deepest moments. the second track that blasted us is mono:poly rightly shaped for audacious djs that enjoy to play >special< things. the track is supported by a solid programming as fellow beatmakers like mark pritchard, recloose or kenny dope originated in the 90s, mixed with biting analogue pressure, crazy batucada elements & a magic breakdown for all the lucky ones that will play it in the sunrise this summer. and last but not least, one of the label mavericks, marlow created a hell of a remix by delivering a 10 minutes techno epic that would make our detroit godfather c2 blush of satisfaction. thanks to all of them for the fantastic music

after a little winter hiatus, the selfmade millionaire returns offering two fresh treats of escapism in these hard times of recession and depression: rockin & poppin tells the simple story of a surprise-party at 2am over at mr. bs where our protagonist is overwhelmed by the extreme density of funky music and ladies. so he gets down right away to rock it, pop it and break it on down, end of story. a rare and honest piece of music for both the breaker and the modern soul affectionado! heading for depression on the other hand reminds us of the dire situation our economy is in, while it encourages to keep the boogie going anyway even though lifes getting rougher and tougher day by day. equipped with a groove so heavy its got a moon in orbit, this serious choon will cause blissful oblivion on any dancefloor.

the messengers (kev beadle & darren moss) get busy re arranging and re jigging two classic tracks from back in the day. side 1 kicks off with creative love - a straight forward extended re arrangement of the excellent creative source version of ew&fs classic cant hide the love which really emphasises the brilliant chorus hook and creates a brilliant end of the night, hands in the air, sing a long vibe. on side 2 the boys get into jazz funk disco mode with an excellent re arranged and beefed up drum version of the 1978 classic six million steps by rahni harris re titled too many steps. both tracks have already been getting props and plays from the likes of gilles peterson, rainer truby, michael rutten, souled and nik weston.

what a manifest for deep house no bonds to minimal, no rave anthem, no disco revival. just tidy tunes, where the soul is always immanent. in this respect, a track such as we never grow up is a subtle misunderstandingn, because subsky, he is already. all three tunes use elements of dubknowledge. the delays and synths are more expansive than usual. especially æspacey sense is craving for open-airs and sunsets. support from osunlade, scope, dj yellow, spiritchaser, tim white, sammy rock, henri kohn, santorini, dean serafini & more!
