celebrating a landmark tenth release, biscuit factory records brings two absolute stompers. the a side is creature, a laxx and farkas collaboration. on the flip laxx and soap dodgers team up with hi rolla. creature is a 4x4 combo with a smooth hypnotic vocal that drops into a heavy bassed, techy roller. the biscuit factory is set to full speed on this one with industrial synths and weighty stabs crashing over the raw upfront bassline. hi roller is a dance floor club smasher. dark robotic basslines and pure weight make this a perfect flip to creature. the low sub bassline and hard punchy drums combine with light melodies in the breakdown to make a track that turns speakers inside out and shreds clubs to pieces. creature and hi rolla have been a staple in walshs sets over the last few months, destroying raves across europe. huge support also coming from n type on his weekly rinse fm wheel and deal records show, hatcha (kiss fm, sin city recs) and skream and benga (bbc radio 1).

a long time coming, the first ep from the mysterious duo bernadott finally reaches us. the golem first heard those tracks last summer and noticed his body was moving beyond his control! he therefore decided he should immediately enroll these beat-smiths before the competition took notice. introducing bernadott, the roof of love ep showcases the talent of two underground producers hailing from paris and stockholm, two diggers of the highest order, immersed in musique concrete, italo, free jazz, punk, chicago house and such, two djs devoted to tension, hips & shoulders. with upcoming releases on high profile labels, the golem proudly takes them to the forefront first, unleashing their highly original and leftfield take on the dancefloor. on side a, bernadott turns a white funk forgotten gem, expands it before turning it into a gherkin-esque acid burner with unexpected nods to juke, subtly returning to its post punk roots before you even notice. the golem also wanted to have a nice tune to share with his girlfriend, and he got his wish with side b, another post punk affair autistically turned into a dubby madchester piano choon, a quasi absurd but groovy breezy love song

chicago house producer craig loftis aka grand high priest, began his production career engineering for frankie knuckles, as well as working as the in house producer/engineer at legendary chicago house label dj international. he came back onto the scene in 2006 with a release under his grand high priest alias, with the underground dance smash that is “mary mary”, a simple and infectious house groove featuring the sublime vocal talents of legendary chicago songstress dajae, supported by djs such as kenny dope, phil asher and karizma. we have here new remixes for 2011 courtesy of altered natives (eye4eye), bok bok (night slugs) and yannah valdevit.

freeze dried is the brand new label from the one and only grant nelson, with this new venture focusing on a deeper shade of beats... although refusing to be pigeon-holed, the labels brief is kept quite simple, fitting between a fusion of disco & deep house, the music quality is as you would expect the very highest quality! the opening release is a perfect snapshot of this, with the infectious nu-disco flavour of >time ties< kicking off the package, on the flip >not that same< goes a little deeper in the mix, with a melodic yet uplifting hook that has already been getting some serious exposure out in the ibiza sunshine.
plenty of high profile dj support has surrounded this release: giom, richard earnshaw, miguel migs, graeme park, soulmagic, tedd patterson, danny j lewis, kiko navarro, charles spencer, roog (hardsoul), ricky morrison, gavin mills (copyright), deepcitysoul, scott wozniak, dj jask, martin ikin (soul purpose), cj macintosh, random soul, andy ward, shane d, gilbert le funk, danism, dj mfr

calling on a roster of talent that includes the much vaunted luminaries tyree cooper, rick wade and his namesake wilhite, scott grooves, terrence parker and more you know that the vibes & pepper agency expanding operations to include a label means the standard of music will be high. number three in the fledgling wax initiative arrives with the man, the myth, the maverick that is norm talley at the helm for the three track bumper the westside project. talley fans will be all over this one for the chance to grab b side hugger >grove street shuffle< a track that originally featured on the producers uber rare 1997 release for city boy, and the two tracks that complement it find the beatdown brother in fine form. lead track >do what you like< deftly weaves in some expert voodoo ray sampleage amidst a permanently punchy groove whilst >greenfield groove< has talley in looser rhythmic mood, with busy percussion driving through a thick swamp of vocal pressure and ever twisting piano riffs

our second release is the first solo ep from mia dora, >romanticise<. released on limited vinyl, this 4 track ep brings to life the mia dora sound, so carefully cultivated and realised over the last 12 months. drawing on a range of influences, they bring together the warm, subtle tones of garage, the deep impact of driving house, tinges of acid synths and the awkward hip hop inflected rhythms they are starting to make their own. each track leaves something to be discovered with each listen, refusing to stand still and switching up as they go. romanticise shows off the intricate and subtle approach mia dora take to club music, all the while making sure we cant help but dance. artwork comes courtesy of grampian mountains and swedish artist andy king.

the byrds were one of the earliest groups who could combine the best of two worlds. they caught on to the energy of the british invasion and combined it with the lyricism & musical elements of the contemporary folk movement.
along the way they pioneered psychedelic and country rock, always keeping things recognizable with their vocal harmonies accompanied by their jangly guitars.
on their third album >fifth dimension< from 1966 they started showing a more lsd-tinged side of themselves with the psychedelic rock of songs such as >eight miles high< and >i see you< and a preference for the indian raga.
one of their most pioneering albums re-issued on 180 grams audiophile vinyl!

marcos cabral and jacques renaults latest on the prowl 12 inch features the return of andy ash, the man who dropped >another world< with them last year (otp007) as well as a grab of edits on otp party breaks way back in 2010. as is to be expected with the talented, young producer, the ep is all groovy, bouncy, high-octane house with a hardy injection of disco glitz.

the album was unanimously praised and confirmed krazy as a special planet in the ed rec galaxy. depending on his mood, his music can be somber and melancholy or experimental, and with no warning slide into a warm almost poppy funk. his comps can be either built on a classical or jazz base, with funky synths and organic electro sounds, mostly with powerful bass lines inspired by british bass-music. for his second album the noise in the sky, krazy baldhead delved into his 70s influences: while on tour for the b-suite, he traveled by day listening to 70s.
