nice price deal !!! yore proudly adds detroits drivetrain to the stable. drivetrains the nom de plume for derrick thompson, a dj and producer who heads up soiree records international, a label with a strong soulful house focus, who has been around since detroits early days. with over 50 releases on his back, from beatdown sessions to numerous remixes & collaborations, you can tell that >drivetrain< has a soft spot in his heart for the rich production values of 70s philly soul associated with producers such as gamble & huff and thom bell. that kinship comes through loud and clear in the eps second cut, >the rain<, when thompson sweetens the tunes brisk rhythms with triangle, electric piano, alto sax, flute, acoustic bass and a gravelly >make love (in the rain)< command that sounds like its oozing from the lips of a tasty dj. >the rain< is trumped by the a-sides >angel (serenity mix)<, which opens with a sinuous house thrust and then heats up with a tight, jacking groove that thompson soulfully embellishes with synthesizer flourishes and a smooth vocal refrain of the songs title. the vibe is lush and soulful in the extreme, with the vocals alternating between a soft murmur and robust declamation while the percolating, dub-inflected house pulse pushes determinedly forward underneath. the ep ends with the title track, >tragedy park<, which is closer in spirit to a stomping techno raver thats had a smidgen of acid thrown in for extra flavour. definitely a floor shaking bomb

about the release: drivetrain (detroit, usa) – “dirty work (ft. goddess stephanie)” …derrick thompson’s organically deep tribal rhythm is the bedrock for melodious chords and the cunning decrees spawned by goddess stephanie. motomitsu (paris, france) – “november” …a dark and haunting symphony, built on an infrastructure rich in keyboards, chorusing under syncopated jabs and hypnotic pulsating motion. jesus gonsev (ciudad real, spain) – “countdown” …an intelligent auditory marriage integrating the essence of an ante meridiem atmosphere with fathomless claviature and precision percussive penetration. oscar holgado (seville, spain) – “the wonderman” …a sonic pilgrimage initiated with harmonic pad structure, advancing through walls of piercing string architecture, closing with a euphoric groove refrain.

we are happy to have pan/tone for our fourth pfand release. sheldon thompson, aka sid le rock, serves up three melodic pieces which catapult you into a deep dreamy trip, complete with floating hypnotic grooves and melodies. rhodes avenue comes with tropical bells, 70 s-style rhodes piano with 80 s-synth flavour. animal parade convinces with cinematic soundscapes and a memorable hymn which brings us to another level. inyourendo surprises with electronic soundscapes which fit excellently for intros, interludes or ending of a set. and finally, the pfand team, hali and yapacc as -the cabin- adds a rework of animal parade with a percussive techno groove supported by a groovy bassline with deep drones that move directly into your brain

beflügelt vom großen erfolg der ersten zusammenstellung hat es sich der dj, jazz-maestro, obsessive plattensammler und if-labelchef jean-claude thompson nicht nehmen lassen, zu einer zweiten reise in tiefe jazzlandschaften einzutauchen. sein dreifach-vinyl ist gedacht für alte hasen und junge dancefloor-hüpfer, arrivierte auskenner und neugierige novizen. denn: kaum jemanden dürften die obskuren, seelenvollen und natürlich längst nicht mehr regulär erhältlichen stücke bekannt sein, die thompson aus welchen plattenkisten auch immer ans tageslicht geholt hat. dabei sind es gar nicht einmal sonderlich viele, zeichnen sich die meisten der insgesamt neun tracks doch durch eine laufzeit von zehn bis zwölf minuten aus, “latin black funk” von sparrow währt sogar 20 minuten. der spirit lebt!

tommy mccook to be leader of the skatalites in the early 1960s, he went on to become the chief exponent of rock steady as leader of the supersonics house band at treasure isle. mccook remained a key session player throughout the reggae era, and during the roots reggae heyday of the mid-1970s, his expressive melodies found particularly strong outlet, especially on the music he created for grassroots producer bunny ‘striker’ lee as a member of the aggrovators, the studio outfit lee hand-picked from the cream of jamaica’s musical crop. when enhanced by the adventurous mixing experiments of king tubby, the engineer that turned dub into an art form, instrumental aggrovators music became positively ethereal, yielding an exceptional listening experience. on king tubby meets the aggrovators at dub station, tommy mccook blows mean sax and flute over dubs of outstanding tracks by johnny clarke, cornell campbell, linval thompson, delroy wilson, and others greats. first issued on third world in 1976, this vinyl reissue comes complete with four thematic bonus tracks, and the whole disc makes for essential listening. reissued on lp and cd with bonus tracks!

grab-bag 12” ep of electro, idm, breaks and house from montreal via ottawa producer riohv (aka braden thompson), which follows up the similarly map-jumping 1080-released “moondance” cassette from back in 2014. finding more confidence and proficiency in his own abilities as a producer, thompson was able to have a lot more fun and subsequently revise and update his sound to reflect his own tastes in records. the ep was made in one burst in montreal over the winter and spring. on “green room, it comes down to creating what he wants to hear—atmosphere through dreamy or moody pads, layered percussive elements, to pay tribute to the euphoria of early rave music.

nach der entdeckung durch andrew weatherall im jahr 2012, releases auf bird scarer, world unknown, crimes of the future, ln-cc, sorn, new jersey, common thread sowie dem debütalbum -hypnotic tradisi- auf island of the gods, veröffentlicht george thompson aka black merlin nun seine erste ep für boysnoize records. die beiden a-seiten-tracks bestechen mit düster-aggressivem ebm mit reminiszenzen an die dancefloor-momente von front 242, während die b-seite mit einem alptraum-soundtrack beginnt, um dann die hochspannung mit dem langsam-launischen -sequencer- aufzulösen.

drivetrain (detroit, usa) – “stranger it feels”…derrick thompson freezes time with a multi-functional floor-banger/dj tool, fully stocked with sonic illusion and legitamcy. the tribal vocal intro paves the way for combustible percussions and a toxic bass line. jace syntax (glasgow, scotland) – “basicz”…pounding rhythms join a subsonic groove cutting through a deeper, melodic soundscape. add finely tuned vocal samples and harmonic ambience for a pure subterranean, late night audio rendezvous. cloudmaster weed (meaux, france) – “consciousness”…an aggressive onslaught of smoke-stacked electronic musicality. the anesthetic bass escorts a mind-expanding squad of voices, pads and effects to a point of delinquency. detune (ghent, belgium) – “dualty”…an electrifying, multifaceted production, that effortlessly seizes it’s own identity. dynamic chords resonating through the magnetic, percussive palpitation, produce a sophisticated unyielding debut. - the absolute sound of true intelligence…is clockwerk -

for more than a thousand days and nights, nico stojan tapped away at what is now before us as ‘twisted manners’ - his debut album telling stories in sound that are both electronic in nature and human in touch. each organic sounding track on the release, including their neighbouring interludes, graze on the moments, people and cultures which have encompassed the albums journey and brought it forward to what it is today. these inspirations have merged from moody mornings in foreign lands (‘blue hour’) to his love affair with the elements of jazz (‘tortured paper’), to the breezy ways of the pacific island people he connects with so much (‘maori girl’). these diverse cultures and the passing musicians who have importantly contributed to the essence of the album have built strong yet invisible strings with a myriad of voices and instruments which weave throughout the music giving us a piece of work that is both textured in flavour and rich in motive. twisted manners is a clean example of this - house music whose soft open spaces and gentle beats sway easily through analog sounds coming from string quartets, saxophonists and double bass players to name a few. these collaborations and stojan’s guiding ear will walk you right into the dreamy spaces and faraway places of his travels without you breaking a sweat. seasoned with moments stolen under the fading light of day, long trips into the beautiful nothingness of his eclectic surroundings and respect for electronic music that is both timeless and sincere, ursl records is delighted to present stojan s debut album, ‘twisted manners’.

white coloured double vinyl. karamika is the soundscape to a journey authored by george thompson (black merlin) and gordon pohl (musiccargo), an expansive collaboration that spans 12 tracks and a 600 kilometer commute between london and düsseldorf.

*raunchy sugar* ist der 5. teil der sugar-serie und erscheint nun mit einer auswahl von 32 highlights der 75 aufnahmen der gleichnamigen 3-fach cd zusammenstellung von rock-n-roll-songs aus memphis. die zusammenstellung wurde vom produzenten und musikhistoriker stuart colman durchgeführt und enthält einige super-rare titel der rock-n-roll-geschichte. das limitierte doppel-vinyl erscheint im klappcover.

featured: four bona fide artists, accomplished and historically rooted deeply in the underground. drivetrain (detroit, usa) – take your time…a grove which the dance floor simply cannot deny. derrick thompson unleashes a bewitching bass line atop a relentlessly galvanizing drum track. flavorful female vocal samples raise the energy to maximum capacity. black jack (aberdeen, scotland) – “the earth grid”…moving just a little deeper, the melody of rich chords and pads guide the constant pulsating bass with effeminate whispers chanting through the occasional twisting synth refrain. fbk (columbus, usa) – “his brief moment of clarity”…boosting the tempo just a tad, a herculean debut production which intelligently punches and stabs dynamic waves of rhythmic sound patterns of perpetual electronic motion. rob belleville (soest, netherlands) – brightened horizon…a first offering on soiree records, spontaneously spotlighting late night ambiance. percussions swing to the bounce of the bass riff as the keyboards chime the infectious theme. -rooted and grounded deep-

a year and a half after black merlin (george thompson) opened the common thread series with the much praised new world fantasy / ice house release george sent over some adventurous bits for a follow up and we were immediately sold. george is a true artist in his own right. all of the black merlin tracks evoke different sentiments. this time around the feeling it bring up is very conflicted. both tracks have those dark aesthetics with elements of paranoia and both also share some apocalyptic elements. it is for this reason that this is the perfect follow up for ct01. instead of just releasing music on vinyl we (with the blessings of zoroaster) are looking to evoke spirits, cross boundaries and maintain quality. major cliches, but with an artist like black merlin on your books, cliches sometimes become truth.

ltd nice price blow out , last copies left ... very useful and more highly demanted defected acapellas. this time the code red vocals. not to be missed

…fast-forward to an impending soundscape absolute in rhythmatic and melodic synthesis.
drivetrain (detroit, usa) – this love …a sexy late night gem from the deeper arsenal of derrick thompson. meticulous drumming regulate a solid bass groove under an infectious keyboard riff and a moody, mysterious vocal delivery.
santonio echols (detroit, usa) – magicgrooves …santonioís soiree debut solidifies his accomplished and revered status. driving a provocative vocal sample lies a signature subterranean house track flavored with lush chords.
rennie foster (vancouver, canada) – just begun …a bionic, dark creation with a touch of syncopation. spicy pads highlight an impeccable vocal sample to consummate high-tech transcendence.
hideyoshi (tokyo, japan) – alpha decay …his first release on soiree, hideyoshi dives into the depths of minimal, atmospheric rhythm with automation, effects and a dominating kick drum. …welcome to the future.

havamal inspired briton will flisk takes his filmic approach to music to the streets with his first output on our curious little imprint. with the help of good friend black merlin (george thompson) on synths and drum machines and natasya hodges on cello, this amazingly orchestrated title track (red planet) takes us to different planets and back, even though our money is too short for commercial space travel. nashville, tennessees very own grey people (alex j michalski) works his distortion on a sinister remix (b1) thats leaning towards the more techno side of things. for the b2, will bestowed an amazing bit of roughness upon us.

in 2011, julia thompson (dj black b1tch) gave me a tdk sa90 tape of a spontaneous live jam by insync recorded in her flat in forest hill, south london in march 1991. she had found it in a drawer when clearing out stuff. she gave it to me to listen to simply thinking i might be interested in hearing it. of course i was, particularly because the date on the tape immediately told me that the session was recorded more than a year before the release of insyncs debut, the seminal storm on irdial discs.
