four beautifully crafted electronica jams plus edit

for the 13th edition of code is law, dark stars rising, we have a double ep collaboration between the labelÆs newcomer wyad and chief moerbeck. focused on shamanic black magic vibes, this release is filled with a lot of mysterious synths, ecstatic melodies and groovy beats. this will be the perfect selection for the upcoming summer festivals.

pacific horizons are outliers, largely unconcerned with much that goes on beyond their la studio. immersed in their own universe of sound, the pair cherry pick from genres to create their own raw, lo-fi take on what, if you must pin it down, can be defined as loosely balearic. the duos sound calls on various eras of pyschedelia through the years. from the scene s roots to the very modern but always circles back to the initial shamanic intention of mind altering ritual. drawing heavily on the raw and rugged west coast for inspiration they posses a sound entirely indigenous to their locality and peers. this stark individuality has brought the project to the attention of such seminal characters as francois k, andrew weatherall and david mancuso. pacific horizons are drawn back down to earth again by deus records for a rare excursion away from their pacific wizard foundation imprint, teeing up one side of an exclusive 7-. on remix duty peaking lights provide the perfect foil. the fellow west coast artists are kindred spirits in pushing against the norm but here bring some order to the release, segueing the raw ideas into a their own blissful, rolling balearic experience. equal parts melancholia and euphoria, burning stars dub version is entirely complimentary to the original track, giving space and structure to some of the more volatile elements of the original. anything pacific horizons put their name to exists to revel in the purity and energy of the original moment of creation, little if any editing is done once the song is whole, making them the perfect artists for this limited edition release full of spontaneity and ideas. pressed on 7 inch white vinyl in full picture sleeve.

die idee zu diesem album kam victoria legrand und alex scally als sie feststellten, dass es eine vielzahl an songs gibt, die es nie auf eines der sechs studioalben der band geschafft haben. in den meisten fällen lag das einfach an dem konzept der verschiedenen werke. der älteste song in dieser sammlung, -rain in numbers-, stammt aus dem jahr 2005, als die band gegründet wurde. andere songs wurden auf tour geschrieben oder während verschiedener sessions aufgenommen. mit -chariot- und -baseball diamond- finden sich zwei songs auf dem album, die bisher unveröffentlicht sind und während der aufnahmen zu -depression cherry- sowie -thank your lucky stars- entstanden sind.

if mega-psychedelic tripping house excursions are your thing then it s entirely possible that derrick carter s sound patrol orchestra may have exactly what you need. no exaggeration. tripping among the stars indeed. the other version of this jam lifted from the sweetened - no lemon lp from 1994 is maybe a little better known, but these mixes right here are worthy of all your attention too! 3 non-stop funk excursions into the cosmos with derrick and co. joining you and guiding you with their cosmic voices. it s hard to pick a favourite as all included are very different beasts yet somehow essential. honestly, this ep kinda shits on most things that you may hear currently and this stuff is from 1997. the still trippin mix is definitely a standout, a free, weaving, 12 minute plus colliding jam that just opens up and evolves real lovely, exactly the kind of record you want to hear around 7am on a smoky dance-floor somewhere. pure after hours perfection. the other mixes are just as potent, with a heavy cowbell laden dc dub mix that s brimming over with live drums and handclaps and a superb bass laden wamdue kids mix that takes off into the stratosphere of deep. basically, this whole record has it covered. literally, it shouldn t leave your bag anytime soon. essential new (old) school chicago gear that just won t quit. thank the heavens we all get the chance to trip again with this beautiful repress! essential. remastered and repressed with the involvement and welcome assistance of the mr.derrick carter, chicago usa.

a belter of a double-sided monster. welcome to the brilliant herbie hancock with the always in-demand slinky groover stars in your eyes on the much coveted 11.21 -special disco remix-. this is quite simply one of the smoothest disco rides you will ever take with a production made in heaven and a vocalist supreme with gavin christopher taking it to another level. featuring an extended percussion break from the fantastic sheila e, this a very different mix to the original album version and was never widely circulated at the time. so another nice rare gem. as double-siders go, this really takes some beating.

nice price deal !!! keen to pack as much as possible onto each release, the funky lowlives release an ep of epic proportions from their current album >somewhere else is here<. the freeform five remix of >time traveller man< is a no nonsense giant of a mix. the results musically are fantastically varied, the quality however is always superb and rarely matched. the freeform five mix is aimed squarely at the dancefloor, over 9 minutes of floor rocking genius… receiving play from the likes of munk, headman, nd baumecker, ata, ivan smagghe, lindström etc.pp

photic fields usher a new name into the fold, switzerland s contra communem opinionem aka cco. the lux rec and mathematics alumni arrives with the road to the stars, five tracks of his trademark acid elegance. the ferocity of the 303 has been sheathed, percussion pared down with lush chords and deep warmth being the focus. house is the foundation from which cco builds. those time honoured sounds support cascading melodies and fragile keys for a 12- that borders between armchair abstraction, floor funk and the night sky.

the foundation of this dub album was created by some of the finest sessions musicians ever to grace the studios of 1960s & 70s jamaica. their instruments were the cornerstone to countless dub lps that began to surface in the early 70s and continued on into the 80s creating a whole new genre of music. as they did back in the early days of dub, the kingston all stars gathered together in kingston, jamaica at mixing lab studios and laid down a series of riddims that would lay the groundwork for what comes next: the singers. both greenwich farm rasta, prince alla, and falsetto, cedric myton of the the congos, contribute vocals to the album but half of the riddims on this lp are, to date, unreleased, and have yet to be voiced. in essence, this album is a sneak peak into upcoming releases. the style of riddims that were created during these sessions range from the cumbia influenced reyes dub to the ethiopian jazz flavored kebra dub that pays tribute to the african sound system, kebra ethiopia sound and shows the wide variety of influences that fuel these musicians. tracks like dub ova combine ansel collins keyboard work with hux browns infectious grooves to create a funky rhythm that you have not heard the last of.

antlers mulm has been sending his melancholy songs and soundscapes into the world for many years now… some years ago one song was featured on the “radio resistencia” compilation (et001) and finally there is this 7 inch on enfant terrible… the two tracks are coming from the last album “touring the moon bog” which was released on cd and tape earlier this year… both tunes featured on vinyl here are the most up-tempo and rhythm driven ones from that album… recommended to fans of solitude fx but also those who are into new order… it is all melancholy, dreamy and catchy… what else could you wish for?
the artwork was designed by saskia freeke and printed on a risograph machine.
