cryovac recordings is a collection of artists with a personal style that bleeds through their work. cryovac artists have a relentless energy and passion for the music called techno. they are warriors with a clear vision and discipline on a course that is their own. the cryovac crew believes in the vinyl record and has always been drawn to its unique quality it gives to sound. this e.p. celebrates the record shop, a crossroads of ideas and inspiration, where connections are made solid in the unity of the underground. rebecca goldberg twists the 303 around a relentless 4/4 groove that evolves tweaks and pops into a sonic neurosis. her yin yang approach applies a smooth steady delivery moving parallel to a raucous funk. the collaborative effort of andy garcia and mike kretsch produced a techno with moody rises and falls, stark kicks, and eerie effects held together with heroic energy. toms and knocks, digital barks and farts, random clicks and ticks all fall into a galloping composition.

combo lulo returns to names you can trust for their sophomore single, digging deeper into the diversified sounds of the caribbean that helped define their debut. while the first single took a jamaican foundation south into the neighboring continent, fusing the sensibilities of rock steady with those of classic afro-latin orchestras, this single goes far east. inspired by the heady and sublime sounds of foundational ska mixed with east african influences, (think buster s islam, don d s addis ababa or further east), the sieve & the sand is a brand new composition within this natural order, albeit with the fortune of different reggae eras and studio styles to draw from. divided into two parts (but also available seamlessly as it was played in the studio), combo lulo s talented players move effortlessly from the galloping shuffle of ska into a deep and dark, roots radics-styled instrumental. its a lovely ode to the original styles of reggae, but also another impressive accomplishment that will surely leave listeners and new fans in anticipation of the shape of things to come for combo lulo.

this album is huge and it covers all the golden age groove styles : boogaloo, soul, disco, boogie, funk... but the music flows in the hands of a gifted modern producer. bruno ? patchworks? hovart plays bass, keyboards, computers... handling with love all composition, programming, arrangements, vocals... with brilliant vocal featurings by silky juan rozoff, brit-soul legend noel mc koy at his best, high-voltage divas ange & janice... and the funkysoul brother bruno ?patchworks? hovart himself on the mic... it?s pure funkiness ! beware, ?the empire strikes back? and is kicking... so get up & dance !
