der 24-jährige kwes hat bereits jede menge erfahrungen im musikbiz gesammelt. so produzierte er die kritikerlieblinge speech debelle und dels, arbeitete mit micachu, ghostpoet und the xx zusammen, sowie mit damon albarn an dessen projekt drc music, dank dessen er in berührung mit warp kam. diese zeigten sich von kwes talent begeistert und boten ihm direkt einen eigenen künstlervertrag an. meantime ist kwes erste ep mit dem maintrack bashful, einem elektronischen disco-shuffle mit akribischer melodieführung und sprengseln aus soul, r&b und house, die seine idee von free pop perfekt demonstriert: populärmusik, die keine grenzen kennt, der exzentrik nicht ausweicht, ideenreichtum jeglicher vergangener regel vorzieht, bzw. einfach verspricht, dass wir von diesem jungen mann noch sehr viel aufregendes und neues hören werden!

after a 5 year gap, vince watson released what is now his 7th! album to the world in march to great critical acclaim. 5 years is a long time to wait for something ... but some things in life are worth waiting for.
here on this ep, vince has selected 3 of the albums tracks, as well an exclusive. starting with a club version of the albumâ€,™,s title track, every soul needs a guide. its got roots in house, techno and latin jazz, but in reality its a fusion of all of the above and displays some wonderful production techniques along the way. the word inspiring is overly used these days, but it defines the soul of this track perfectly. following this is the quite breathtaking never too late with its lounge and jazz track roots, cementing vinceâ€,™,s one-man band status as intact. beautiful chilled out percussion and double bass soak up the timely keys and give you a real sense of the manâ€,™,s artistic prowess. stunning ...

bristol hub soul motive scored a massive coup in enlisting punch drunk boss peverelist to remix >stableface<, one of the standout tracks from clouds of moments, the 2010 debut set from lithuanian experimental dubstepper eleven tigers. that they choose to complement it with two further remixes is tantamount to treating us, with both dark sky and macc on board to further re-contextualise the cracked atmospherics. in the hands of dark sky, >stableface< is twisted into a brooding dark side steppah with subtle hints of jungle pressure pervading the lower reaches, the 50 weapons trio playfully teasing with the vocal before dropping in a bassline that can only be described as rude. on the flip, macc showcases his enviable drumming skills with a heavily cinematic roller of a remix dominated by those rumbling, live rhythms

disco mali! sofrito present a unique slice of afro-disco from the celebrated griot, niama makalou, recorded in the late 70s.
descended from a family of griots (traditional malian praise singers), niama makalou moved to france in the mid 70s where she cut this, her one and only vinyl release. at the time paris (like much the rest of the world) was swept up in disco fever, so along with a group of malian musicians the date was set to cut a piece of disco, griot style. the resulting mixture of off kilter hand claps, raw string arrangements, balafon flourishes and bambara vocals combine with a heavy disco groove to produce a one-off piece of cross-cultural dancefloor mayhem.
on the flip daphni (aka caribou) crafts an extended version that distills it into a stripped down and dubbed out groove.

long waited 4th ep from japanese deep house force pan records is here. unlike precious releases, this is volume 1 of its various artist sampler series. all 3 of them are scheduled to be released in 2012. first track to open the series is >flash back< by sai. this japanese producer has been favored and debuted from morris audio in 2010. the track has dreamy and floating feel to start off with, later it gets more grove going with subtle vocal goes behind. stays musical yet feels minimal, a2 also kept the vibe from a1 and makes you stay in the dreamland. it is by only the non-japanese artist on this wax, dennis uprock aka resoe from denmark. he is the owner of baum records and one half of the duo >pattern repeat< and this rather timeless track exactly demonstrated his years of experience in producing. >future progress<, is true and honest to its name. dj pi-ge is one of the owner of the label along side of ryo murakami and sisi. he provides a track with punchy synth and revered black man’s vocal. notably slow teasing build up from the beginning till the end, this is an interesting addition to the ep. attention grabbing. last of all, >rising moon< is by tokyo based artist naoki shinohara, previously released from xdbs metrolux music. this track can be described by strong hart beat like hi hats and soul filling melody. its a perfect closer to this quality deep house ep from the land of rising sun.

hissy fit is the brainchild of the moustache mamas, part berlin, part london composed of a us east-coast sensibility and a uk north east sense of humour. its a vehicle to be able to work with the artists and release the music they love, to give something physical (yes all releases will be pressed on vinyl) to the people that spend all that time dancing when the girls are djing. the mamas have then built up a reputation of being grade-a party starters across europe, playing at the rawest of parties, and outshining some of the boys in the boys club. their approach to djing is mirrored in their approach to starting hissy fit, the girls are serious about their music even if the music itself doesnt need to be serious. for its first release hissy fit welcomes aboard leeds based >death on the balcony<. this year they have been cosying up to the likes of soul clap and the wolf and lamb posse, as well as being booked to play all over the damn place causing hissy fits of epic (yet joyous) proportions. the ep contains three originals, and kicks off with >every time< a synth-laced house jammer that brings in the clap & the punch with just the right oomph for the kids on the floor.
