this has always been a rare 12inch originally only released in the uk in 1979, phoenix was considered to be too disco at the time and the release pretty much sank without trace - one reason why finding those original uk 12inches is near on impossible these days. just 2 copies on discogs and a mint one will be circa £50 if you re ever lucky enough to find one. however, since 1979 phoenix has grown in stature and what was once considered to be a twee disco tune has now become a huge collector s item and a staple in the right clubs. no surprise really as this is norman connors at the top of his game and the production is red-hot. how phoenix never made it to 12inch vinyl in the u.s. is one of the great mysteries of life but here it is on beautiful fresh 12inch vinyl some 38 years later. as with all our 12inch re-issues we ve replicated the original label. luckily there are no bootlegs to contend with on this release, so this is the first re-issue of this song since the original release date, so order with confidence

the fourth release on trevor jacksons pre- label is by skull. a visceral journey into experimental noise and no wave avant grade beatscapes the last skull release snapz appeared on jacksons own output recordings label in 1999. a seminal collection of tracks that had previously featured on the first two legendary mo wax headz compilations (also featuring autechre, beastie boys, air, and dj shadow) as well as tracks that had also appeared on kevin the bug martins notorious macro dub infection albums during the mid 90s. reactionary sonic statements aimed at the coffee table world of trip hop, fuelled by his dissatisfaction and dissillustionment with hip hop of the time, trevor pushed himself into uncomfortable and far more extreme areas than he had before, areas he felt unable to explore with his underdog productions, which were mainly being utilised for major label remixes at the time. influenced as much by the industrial pioneers, post punk and new wave of the past as the burgeoning post rock scene in the mid 90s, this new set of previously unreleased recordings originally produced between 1996-2000 are equally as intense and visceral as the early releases. dusty samples, raw beats, tape loops, and primitive effects combine to sound as relevant now as when they were initially created.

the unlikelihood of being alive warrants expression. in the increasingly digital universe we are tangibly intertwined yet phenomenally disconnected. this creation of soundscapes defines dream-like iterations of a post-internet reality and is uncanny in its ability to quintessentially emulate potential futuristic states of being. it induces the uniqueness and highly emotive aspects of undefined existences. it is raw and purposeful. potatoheadz is a melbourne/berlin based, diy label created by nipuna jayasekera, leon wan & sam sedgwick. it is dedicated to the dispersion of local and international music focused on innovative artistry. unknown data set is their first record and third release featuring the music of various artists. 400 copies!

sleep-deprived, breakbeat-driven vignettes of unclear authorship, from somewhere west of lake lagoda, near the russia-finland border.sekundenschlaf has significant points of correspondence with contemporary european electronic music, as well as the golden age of (early) jungle and ambient techno. but its response to tradition, and to the zeitgeist, is idiosyncratic to say the least – with an atmosphere and psychogeography rooted in the tranquility and majesty of western russian nature, and the anxiety and distress of the country s post-soviet working class. pastoral calm meets dissonance and unease. the music has a loose, improvised feel, but its arrangements are intricate, its melodies iridescent: cascading arpeggios that stir a sense of optimism and renewal, sighing string-pads that evoke the deepest melancholy. rhythms simultaneously hyped-up and burned-out, collapsing in on themselves as they race to destinations unknown. all bound together with field recordings of eavesdropped conversations, blurred into abstraction, a droning subliminal menace.trust me, you ll be fine
