sounding like the cosmic dub of a lost d-train hit, *out at the deep end* has already been featured by benji b on bbc radio and sparked a collectors frenzy on limited pre-release. the futuristic 80s classic vibe continues on the b-side with *into the rest*, a beautifully multilayered slow burner.
there is an alternative reality known as the big funk factory. those unsuspecting travellers who fall into this other place find themselves exposed to many characters and tales from this universe. once inducted into this particular charged vacuum embodiment you have only one choice but to go on and familiarise yourself with the history and people involved in the hope that you ll find a way through to the other side, but beware the experience and sensations may be seductive, you may choose to remain. be aware it is an audio, visual and kind of literate assault on the senses. the beginning in the loosest possible use of the term starts with the creation of the creature known as d-roid. as a new entrant, before conducting yourself through each chapter, perhaps you should familiarise yourself with the characters involved in those disreputable individuals featured in this episode.

as headman gears up to release his sixth album it appears he is having something of an identity crisis... is he headman? or is he, as his mother named him, robi insinna? either way, he is one of disco s most daring of producers and, monikers aside, anything he releases is well worth your attention. especially this first sampler from the album 6. a collaborative affair, each track sees him teaming up with kindred spirits and friends to forge new groove paths and re-position old references. -work- takes a kraftwerkian recipe and stretches it like a well made pizza dough, -barbarism- dusts off the cosmic guitars for an enlightened star-gazing session, -der- sits happily between black strobe and jeff wayne while -sleep red- cruises towards dfa city limits in a cowbell escalade. each one of them will have you hankering for the album. guaranteed.
some asked for an instrumental version of that future classic. here it is, and to make it complete the record comes with another fine warehouse mix by victor himself and a bangin techno remix from the almighty tuff city kids.
nachdem das letztjährige jagwar ma-album -howlin- dance- und indie-pop-freunde gleichsam in seinen bann zog und die musikpresse in dem werk die direkte nachfolge zu primal screams -screamadelica- sah, ist nun die zeit reif für die -the time and space machine dub sessions-. beeinflusst von dub und krautrock hat sich richard norris (the grid) an die regler gesetzt und einige der schlüssel-tracks des albums nochmals radikal überarbeitet. jagwar ma spielen die beiden festivals melt! und dockville und werden dabei erstmals auf hiesigen bühnen ihre musik vorstellen.

der französische elektroniker m83 schrieb den soundtrack zu -you and the night- (-les recontres d apres minuit-), dem ersten spielfilm seines bruders yann gonzalez, der 2013 in cannes seine premiere feierte. musikalisch weicht m83 von seinem bekannten sound als künstler ab, und orientiert sich für den score an der intimität französischer filmmusik der 1970 er. Ähnlich wie beim soundtrack für - oblivion - ist auch hier wieder die norwegische sängerin susanne sundfor mit von der partie.
um den record store day 2014 zu feiern, präsentiert bbe zwei vorher unreleaste juwelen, geremixt von glasgows antwort auf walter gibbons, al kent. *when did you stop* von the js wurde sträflicherweise übersehen nach dem eigetnlichen release 1977 - mit ausnahme einiger dancefloors im norden englands. gleichzeitig war sandy barbers *i think i ll do some stepping on my own* ein großer hit, der allerdings keinen großartigen kommerziellen erfolg verbuchen konnte.
premium quality vinyl reissue of the highly collectible promo-only 12 inch *i, i, i* by unlikely balearic heroes the osmonds. first released in 1979, this fruitful collaboration between the proto-boyband and legendary pop-disco producer maurice gibb is a wonderful slab of chugging syncopated cosmic disco rock topped off with lush string arrangements which despite being criminally overlooked at the time of its original release, has recently garnered much favour with balearic aficionados. also surprisingly good is the flipsides *you re mine*, a more live sounding affair, coming across like steely dan met chicago at studio 54 and hit the studio on the way home. dont miss!

adam x was very much deep in it in 92: 23 years in the record-releasing game and counting to be exact. could be longer, as thats just going by his discography. founder of sonic groove, also known as traversable wormhole & amdx-71. its enough to know that the man is still seriously killing it, and this is absolutely no exception: acidic, metallic, raw and driving techno for the true heads.

victor simonellis groove committee alias inspired much of the upbeat vocal house we hear today thanks to seminal releases on nu groove records in the early 90s. simonellis *i want you to know*, from the eponymous ep released in 91, enjoys a rerelease and remix overhaul on the upstart deep down slam label. inner senses knows the truth mix boosts the overall presence of simonellis original, by reinforcing the drums, hats and chords with deft touches of neoteric sound design, while deep down slam label-head washerman opts for cut up and interspersed vocals and loopy instrumentation in his mix. french house ball of fire kool vibe, turns up the heat - and punch - in his chord riffing remix, paying homage to a originator that has no doubt influenced his own productions.
from the soul-stirring opening strains of ex friendlys sublime start to the people are looking at you imprint, it is clear that the emerging nottingham-based producer has a gift for music that travels further than mere surface physical response. in a scene littered with disposable vocal turns, the simple poetry of rich medinas narrative that runs through journeyman resonates perfectly with the yearning strings and low-slung, bass-rich groove that come to define this exquisite approach to deep house. jonno & tommo hone in on the more rhythmical elements with their own dub of journeyman as a clearer club-ready intent meets with the psychedelic potency of the aqueous sound effects and that ubiquitous string hook. whether reaching for a more meaningful dimension to add to a set, or to simply drift away on the cradling nature of the music and its message, it is clear from the outset that this is music built to last.
