limited edition of 300 copies worldwide w/ special colour print gold & black, 140 gram 12inch vinyl. tre, the third release from italys backwords, is an intimate, muscle-and-sinew-deep exploration of the mysterious meeting point of man and machine, here, pardo and vintage synths, drum machines and miscellany from the second half of the last century. twitchy beats, crackling textures and layers of tape distortion conjure a hallucinogenic universe that owes as much to heavy dub as it does to the techno-futurist optimism of the early modular synth pioneers.

everything i know and i will never know about you is a journey through electronica, deep-house and pop, driven by the endless and timeless sources of inspiration that are love and life. prior releases on powerhouses diynamic, get physical and third ear have pinpointed denites sound at the border of deep and tech-house but his long player debut is, sonically, a fresh new adventure. the spanish producer takes a developed and matured sound into deeper dimensions of self-reflection, exploring new sonori- ties while remaining loyal to his early influences with strong personal touches on drums and keys. everything i know and i will never know about you is a bold move for denite, who comes a step closer to achieving his artistic vision. tracks like when i go out and the art of letting go embody the albums innate dance-floor nature while songs like berlin see the spanish producer looking square towards new horizons and musical ambitions. club-friendly while staying geared towards the headphones, everything i know and i will never know about you reads like a bridge between two love stories with similar paths and mirroring endings. opening with the slow, pulsating sound of a heartbeat, it follows the universal cycle of the highs and lows of a relationship, closing on brighter promises and new potentialities.

keith tenniswood returns in 2016 with dub vault vol. 2, the second emission of dubwise productions under his radioactive man moniker, originally recorded a decade ago while based in scrutton street studios. a long time fan of roots, reggae and dub here he fully indulges in the genre whose keystone bass weighted sounds have informed the electro-focused designs he is predominantly known for. explosion begins the ep recorded utilising new toy at the time, a korg esx1 sampler and sequencer, resulting in simple but crashing dancehall beats with a diliinja style bassline that is pure roughage. second track razor sees tenniswood also take up the guitar as well as beat programming in this track named after the * stepping razor* peter tosh and a nod to his music hero adrian sherwood and on u sound vibes. blazer rounds off the ep, a collab with long term dub head and band member with keith from bargecharge (check fuel records early releases late 90s) james foster. tape echo and distorted bass make up the thick sound of this trac

“last days and time” is the third studio album by american r&b group earth, wind & fire, released in 1972, their debut album on columbia records. it was recorded at the legendary sunset sound studios in hollywood, california, with founder and multi-instrumentalist maurice white, verdine white and philip bailey. due to their live performances it cemented their status as the main funk band and set the stage for the band’s blockbuster breakthrough. songs on the album like “make it with you” (originally from bread) the pre-“brazilian rhyme” powerful funk sax style “power”, (which sounds like an early version of “serpentine fire”) and “remember the children” are excellent examples of the great songs and albums they have made during their career.

middleburough lads aaron turner and tom brown make their return to 1080p as perfume advert, following up what i must say was one of the breakthrough early cassette releases of the label (tulpa, from back in 2013) with a vivid and kinetic wash of tech-house and and deeply-layered house—extremely heavy night-drive vibes and more abstracted mesmeric feelings lit with pulsating textures and their distinctly murky cosmics.

space arts third single nous savons tout was released in 1978 on if records. their sound was similar to jarres early analog albums, but with the addition of real drums. dominique plays an arp odyssey, clavinet, eminent, and minimoog, maximizing their warm textures. roger plays the drums in an intricate fashion, influenced subtly by jazz fusion.

black country overlord justin k broadrick (jesu, godflesh) blesses regis’ downwards fiefdom with two tracks and a tightly sprung rework by surgeon. downwards have really picked the foulest iterations of a grim set for vinyl release, inscribing the industrial-strength torque of nothing is free - which sounds like early kode 9 battered by shapednoise - at 45rpm across the front face, and branding the knuckling 808 snares and distended electro bass blow out of kontorted on its backside. surgeon’s remix of the title tune ranks among his best in many years. trace elements of the original are extruded thru modular kit and remodelled on a bouncing, swerving techno chassis recalling bmb and cub classics, but streaked with sirens and vamped by a marching brass refrain that’s just spoiling for war. the release marks a long overdue overlap between downwards’ and broadrick’s interrelated industrial, noise and techno circles. broadrick was the original drummer for napalm death on their scum (1987) album, before forming the legendary godflesh, and carving out an oeuvre as one of the most feared and respected musicians to emerge from birmingham and the uk ever since.

over the course of four albums, manchester based trumpeter, composer, arranger and band-leader matthew halsall has carved out a niche for himself on the uk music scene as one of it s brightest talents. his languid, soulful music has won friends from jamie cullum and gilles peterson to jazz fm and mojo as well as an ever-growing international following. his label gondwana records is home to gogo penguin and his own albums have found halsall exploring the modal jazz of john and alice coltrane, paying tribute to the hard bop of the late ’50s and early ’60s or most recently on fletcher moss park drawing on eastern influences in his most personal statement yet. his latest album when the world was one is something of a companion piece to fletcher moss park (much of the music was written at the same time) but draws more explicitly on halsall’s love of spiritual jazz and eastern music as well as his own studies in meditation and travels in japan. beautifully recorded at hasall’s favourite studio, 80 hertz in manchester, and engineered by brendan williams and george atkins it features the recording debut of halsall’s large ensemble, the gondwana orchestra, which utilises the exotic flavours of harp, koto and bansuri flute and eastern scales to create a global palate for halsall’s life-affirming sounds.

disco halal s first reissue! the 1984 cult classic - tcp (aka tony carey project) - tcp sees its re-release on vinyl for the first time, the long sought and super expensive vinyl on the classic label x records, tcp is the extraction of the multi talented ex keyboard player of rainbow that in future days will be known as , tcp, yellow power, planet p, and more outstanding projects. tcp could be easily compared to the works of sakamoto, hosono, and many other of the periodical soundtrack movement of the early 80 s, but no doubt this is a pioneering record, which set grounds to the electronic music we know today. we are very proud to bring this hidden gem, so that it can once again be shared and enjoyed

hot on the heels of kess kill s launch featuring cute heels, rivet proudly presents kess02 by xaõ seffcheque. while kess01 was in no way a compromise, it was still a very intentional symbiosis between the distilled essence of kess kill and contemporary electronic music. on kess02 we go straight to the core of the kess kill sound and aesthetic with three breathtaking songs by xaõ seffcheque. a contemporary of liaisons dangereuses and d.a.f., düsseldorf based artist xaõ produced some extremely singular music in the late 1970s and early 1980s, which makes for a very proud first reissue for kess kill. this is music so unparalleled that making comparisons is completely redundant. think jacked up post-punk with manic rhythmic tendencies and you’re halfway there. qu est-ce qu il fait chaud!

for the opening ep from too many squares, frank butters manages to gene-splice together the raw dna from all of the ugly-beautiful sounds present in the birth of modern dance music. -conditioning for solitude- is the hum of dark tubes, the slice and hiss of sharp synthesised percussion and the scream of blissful dementia. the mutant that existed for a brief and joyous frozen moment while disco was still birthing house. -body burn” is the tropics with a black sun and africanism with a stopwatch instead of a heart. recalling experimentalist forays by the likes of liaisons dangereuses, patrick cowley and karen finley, the 2 originals on offer manage to recall the raw passion of an era without feeling contrived or derivative. the ep is rounded off by sheila fleurraters remix of * 3 minute warning* which continues the pioneer-ist motif, albeit allying itself with a much more early industrial aesthetic.

these 2 guys dont need an introduction as they have earned their respect in the underground over years of quality music. what needs a proper shout is the fact that they now teamed up for this amazing 2-tracker and we are honored to release this on noir music. early support by maceo plex and adam beyer has already made some buzz in club-land for this anticipated release and here s your chance to get onboard too.

nycs legendary sam records dropped the mysteriously named k.i.d.s dont stop- in 1981. it has it all trancey arpeggios, vocoders & vocals trading off with each other, brass & some heavyweight disco drums that helped propel it forth into the hallowed category of club classic. the record perfectly suited the open minds and open ears of discerning disc jocks in locales such as new york and chicago where this sublime piece of electronic disco sleaze would get plenty burn on the city s infamous wbmx thus having a huge impact, along with a whole host of other similar records, on the burgeoning house scene that was germinating in the fertile mid western soil. b-side cut do it again is a pleasant enough early 80 s disco jam, but compared to the futuristic burner that is dont stop on the other side theres one clear winner. a must have for all cosmic, disco, funk aficionados. now made available again, legitimately licensed, remastered and reissued in conjunction with sam records new york city.

unslaved s punjab is a journey through three unconventional club tracks, hear genres entwined, sounds broken down and set free in the most spell-binding way. first track punjab is an eight minute creeper built from insane drum patterns and layered with an eerie, yet blissful melody. with an almost ambient quality, punjab is an off- kilter yet perfect. on the ip, b1 apogee is a dark masterpiece with the rawest, yet most striking of characters. a track that wouldn t have been out of place in early dubstep or grime circles with a spine-tingling bass line, apogee has that sparse, stripped-back feel where listeners discover hidden elements on each listen. exploring the murkiest corners of electronica, apogee is an intense mover that sets a high standard for the release.
