first, let me pay homage to institubes and the codeine generation who discovered red bull in 2003. para one, teki and tacteel were on the front line just like us making the french scene stronger and even more exciting after the first french touch wave. in 2004 for the fourth release on ed banger we were looking for french artists who were killing it, pushing boudaries, those we wish we had signed. three names: para one, feadz jackson. both feadz and para one accepted to remix krazy baldhead’s first ep, this record is very special to me, we pressed 2000 copies.

grammy award wining producer, mr. porter, joins forces with fatbeats to release *the great depression a.p.*, his first commercially released instrumental album, containing 17 rare musical gems created during the years 2006-2008. this period represents the passage of dark depression, emotional isolation, and self imposed exile (after proof) of porter. the music created throughout this time span is the sound of mr. porter spiraling into himself and away from social interaction, devoid of self love, the elements contained are the vibrations of his loss. *t.g.d a.p.* is a unique collection of songs produced during this momentous period and previously shared only with marvwon and royce da 5 9.
coming off the acclaimed *porter chops glasper*, a classic re-imagined instrumental ep inspired by works of the great robert glasper, *t.g.d a.p.* holds steadfast to the outside-the-box creations, infused with infectious, signature drums that mr. porter is often praised for. healthy, happy and hopeful, mr. porter is determined to embrace the love received from fans and has released this most intimate sharing of a very personal collection.

dear wanderer, ramona is happy to present the video dead, chinaski s debut-­ep for live at robert johnson. originally hailing from the high north of germany, rostock near the rough and stormy sea, the young man with interests in 80s video-­aesthetics and vintage synthesizers is now calling offenbach his home­turf. chinaskis ep starts out with time to kill, a straight forward hypnotizing jacker directly heading to the synthesized happiness. midnight workout features a different side to the young talent sensitive placed synth harmonies packed in a vintage-­pop interlude. after a journey through more harmonious domains, night school turns the page again and picks up on those synth-waves and put ramona away from her calm drive through the midnight heat, right on the dancefloor mesmerizing analogue deep housevibes all over the place.hide society steps out of context and mixes chinaskis affection for the warmth of these marvelous synth-­sounds with trippy post-­breaking or even proto-­hiphop sounds topped off with a weird vocal sample. the title­track the video dead summons all emotional power ramona could implant into a synthesizer, the heartbeat like reduced kick-­drum and hihats floating around the track are mostly incidental or not even there for the ears. purely visual.

a year and a half after black merlin (george thompson) opened the common thread series with the much praised new world fantasy / ice house release george sent over some adventurous bits for a follow up and we were immediately sold. george is a true artist in his own right. all of the black merlin tracks evoke different sentiments. this time around the feeling it bring up is very conflicted. both tracks have those dark aesthetics with elements of paranoia and both also share some apocalyptic elements. it is for this reason that this is the perfect follow up for ct01. instead of just releasing music on vinyl we (with the blessings of zoroaster) are looking to evoke spirits, cross boundaries and maintain quality. major cliches, but with an artist like black merlin on your books, cliches sometimes become truth.

after a strong first release contort yourself returns with events at the fatal party which comes over more as a description than a title, brimming with a bubbling sense of tension and fear. hamburg duo fallbeil kick things off in impressive style with a crunchy acid monster which twists and turns followed by two killer proto-techno cuts from legendary french industrial band die form from their 1985 tape hurt. here we find ourselves in a unsettling scenario with metallic voices scowling over clanging machines and guitar feedback in an unhinged way. the mysterious slugbug (l.i.e.s./russian torrent versions) starts the flip with goback, a creeping acidic beast moving unstoppably forward as a reverberating voice ripples throughout. any calm is then shattered by ibm a.k.a. jamal moss whose remix of die form hammers home a tough seven minutes of mangled synths, bubbling acid and thundering drums. a highly recommended, intense journey.
