inspired by the teachings of the earons (thats .22, .18, .33, .69 and .28 to the uninitiated, see www.earons.net for more background), a splinter group was formed earlier this year, with the express mission to bring back the message and connect it to a whole new audience. >land of hunger< is given a 2012 reconstruction from the cosmologist, a sturdy rework performed by the mysteriously concealed outfit, who identify themselves only as .40, and .44. whilst they are heavily influenced by earons beliefs on positive energy, which they seek to share, .40 + .44 are quick to point out they have no links with the earlier incarnation from 28 years ago, but felt a compelling force to unearth it once more. the universe knows when the time is right, and frankly the original broadcast was just too good to not want to fashion a 2012 edit, so a new chapter begins ...

london based welshman chamboche returns to the label that launched him with the smoke screen ep. his unquantifiable sound swerves genre classification, hovering around house but with enough musicality to please the hardened disco head. swirling pads and a bubbling bass line set down the groove, while keys fall around horns and vocals to make the lead track a refined, uplifting work out. slowly unfolding, the track is hypnotic and absorbing, showcasing the style of a producer as able to work the mind as the hips. bicep toughen up the drums and work the arpeggio, stripping down the track and bringing the chicago influence higher in the mix. while the original subtly unfolds, their remix demands attention from the outset, building to a climax then recoiling for another bite at the cherry. thinking big, krl ramps up the intensity with a bright, kinetic reworking. aimed squarely at the peak time, he harnesses all of smoke screen’s most propulsive elements to really work the floor. tucked away on the b side is the expansive mind your mind. trademark chamboche percussion is woven around a blissful riff, swelling majestically to round off the ep in slo(w) burning euphoria.

alex and bill met 16 years ago when bill signed one of alex s first productions (is this the rhythm? by rhythmnvibe) to a new york label he was running. alex, whose father lives in the us, was a regular visitor to the states and they sent many happy hours together hanging out at the sound factory bar and comparing maw dubs. when bill returned to the uk in 1996, they had a few sessions together making house music, though neither of them can remember why they never finished anything or, indeed, what became of the tracks. fast forward a few years and they finally got back into the studio to make sweet music together under the moniker hotel motel. since then they have created a rich seam of work that some have already described as, like salvador dali with his pants down being fellated by deirdre barlow. few would disagree.
