180 g vinyl !!

generic modification in effect here on this 3 tracker from seasoned producer and remixer travelling incognito, hush-hush and strictly on the q.t. . straight out of east london, pacific rim dubs mix up deep, bumpin house with soul and boogie, rude acid with funk and fidget grooves with pure disco. in a mash-up style, but without the comedy beats and not a whiff of irony in sight, pacific rim dubs vol1 takes a selection of infectious snippets from the soul/ boogie vaults and blends them into proper house floor fillers

303 madness from the likes of chris liberator & sterling moss on the a-side and squat dom on the flip!

a gritty 90s style album for those who grew up on illmatic, midnight marauders, only built for cuban links, moment of truth, and ready to die. behind the scale shows the other side of what some are glamorizing about street life and drug trade. this is unfiltered, real shit on tape. some of the stories are inensly personal and sean second-guessed including them, but if it aint raw it aint real. behind the scale is about change, transition and growing up.

jean wells story is not an extraordinary one in the world of soul, although her voice certainly was. her biggest hit >have a little mercy< from 1967 was a glorious slice of deep soul, a plea to a lover, whom she is addicted to, but who doesn t seem to notice. her gospel-trained voice perfectly encapsulating those feelings, whilst a stark arrangement dominated by an ethereal organ and dramatic horn stabs heightens the unbearable effect this man is having on jeans life. yet at the time this record only reached number 25 in the r&b charts, just another bit of genius amongst many, thrown out by the black american music industry at one of its most creative and profligate periods.
jean left us with a fantastic recorded legacy, of which her recordings for clyde otis, which are gathered here, are the choicest cuts.

gamm proudly presents the reflex, a new and rising star within the edit scene. after his edits made big noise on soundcloud they are now finally coming out on two separate gamm releases. note, these are not just standard edits but fully reworked productions using multitracks, original samples and even live elements. the second ep by the reflex delivers three outstanding reworks. first up is a killer stomping breakbeat take on marvins & tammy terrells >aint no mountin high enough<. next is a 60s soul twist on amys >rehab< hit. the best is saved for the last when mavins >whats going on< gets an tasteful beatless rework … simply beautiful!

in a career laden with highlights and hallmarks in the annals of soul history, >just as i am< is rather overlooked as one of the best soul debuts ever issued. beautifully remastered, >just as i am< is presented to a new generation of listeners who may have missed out the first time.
give this classic record a spin, and get ready to be submersed in the soul of one of the true masters of the genre!

roberto clementi hails from a small town on italys east coast somewhere between riccione and rome. he is much more of an inventive sound designer as opposed to an average music producer. his tunes range from deep and lush to uplifting and party-pumping - often fueled by minimal subby basslines, retro-ish melodic elements, elegantly cut-up vocals, and an overall warm, analog feel. he currently has releases and remixes on labels like unfoundsound, monique musique, distric raw, undercut, stolen moments, manual music, kompass musik, suara, greel pound, sk supreme, and others. he is also one-half of i-rob alongside roby dj, and they have releases on labels like autist, tenax recordings, clasque musique, and others. his debut ep for steadfast features 3 techno trax ranging in mood and atmosphere but all sharing a perfect dancefloor sensibility and top-notch production. brendon moellers reshape aint half bad either.

meet bwana. his tunes started racking up plays and conversations commenced with new music buddies xi, submerse and djd. a variety of different 130bpm sounds were toyed with from dubstep, garage, 2 step, 808 dubstep and his very own mashes of r&b-lead garage-step. it all seemed to work. a bunch of labels got in touch and tracks were signed to mad decent and montreal based infinite machine.

released in 1973, pronounced >l&#277,,,,,,,h- nérd skin- nérd< is the debut album of legendary pioneers of southern rock lynyrd skynyrd. they brought together all the best elements of southern culture – blues, country, garage rock, southern poetry – and created a gumbo of southern sounds and flavors as none had done before. there are few debut albums that sounds as raw and determined as pronounced does, and this is largely due to the hard, lean edge that lynyrd skynyrd bring to the music. the album features the songs >i aint the one<, >gimme three steps< and >free bird<, their famous rock anthem. music on vinyl is proud to present this album, which marks the birth of a great band that spawned an entire genre.

so we went predominanlty stateside for our last outing, and decided to bring things back home this time. hoya003 is a strictly uk affair. opening up on the a-side is one of rudest producers and djs the uk has going for it. this aint a comment on her manners though, they are as impeccable as her production. after ikonika sent us a zip of some hoya potentials, we just knew >fleas< had to be the one featured on this 12 inch. a more sinister, rolling, emotional jam, it still packs as much as punch as ikonikas dj sets. kicking off the b-side is the homie om unit. now, this guy … this guy. are there any superlatives left to desribe his sonic masterpieces that have rocked too many dancefloors and had as many producers scratching their heads and re-assessing their mix-downs? an instant favourite, >fibonnaci 10< was one of the earliest cuts lined up for a release and when you listen you will see why. this guy. seriously. bringing things to a close, we hand over to one of our favourites from the flourishing cardiff scene. why doesnt monky have more music out? is one of those questions that has been asked too many times for our liking. so much so, we may have to take it upon ourselves to change that. but, for now, just enjoy >hipster<. a killer synth-laden nod to early ukg, but looking forward as opposed to sideways. enjoy.

ashford & simpsons return to europe for the first time in 20 years is celebrated with the release of this 16 classic song compilation on limited edition double album. nicholas ashford & valerie simpson are soul icons responsible for gold and platinum hits through the 60s, 70s and 80s for such artists as marvin gaye, chaka khan, diana ross and gladys knight (their solo hits include >solid<). this is the first time many of these have been assembled on one collection, but expansion have gone one step further by combining the hits with seminal disco records like >over & over< (sylvester), the two-step anthem >keep away girls< (stephanie mills), the awesome >california soul< (by marlena shaw, as utilized by kfc), the modern soul smash >top of the stairs< (collins & collins) and an exclusive remix of >aint no mountain high enough< (marvin gaye/tammi terrell).

>stone coal white< ist die erste veröffentlichung des dj shadow labels cali-tex seit über dreieinhalb jahren. das trio aus dayton, ohio veröffentlichte lediglich zwei singles in kleinstauflagen und war nur absoluten kennern bekannt. neben den 4 songs der beiden singles sind 4 weitere, bislang unveröffentliche songs enthalten, die in einem keller eines verlassenen motoradgangverstecks gefunden wurden. auf den songs verarbeitet die band vietnam albträume, grass, lsd, armut, gewalt und sexualität. das album enthält coverversionen von >hell below< (curtis mayfield) und >aint no sunshine< (bill withers).

morning caffeine is the debut release by poker flats martin landsky on mobilee that we have all been waiting for! as a poker flat artist with huge success to his name for various remixes, he boasts a discography that reads like a guide through electronic musics hottest sounds. always refusing to be pigeonhold, landsky continuously embraces different paths and once again hes brought something new to the table. title track morning caffeine (main mix) kick starts the ep with both a dark and uplifting mood as a slightly twisted loop continues to build throughout the track, never really culminating but carrying on inescapably, whilst in contrast the organ dub version offers a much lighter and bouncier atmosphere. aint nobodys is the pleasant surprise of the ep, once again demonstrating landkys musical diversity and serving up really special warm dreamy vibes

black gold also contains a rendition of sandy denny s who knows where the time goes, in a minimalist arrangement that ends in an uplifting orchestration true to both the writer of the song and the performer. throughout the entire performance ms simone keeps a regal, aloof and sometimes goofy composure, her monologues in between songs ushering the listener a little closer to her moving performance.

deadboys own brand of garage flecked melancholia rocketed out of the stables on the single sided >if u want me<, our very first release in early 2010, and the brighton based producer hasnt let up since, remixing artists like cassie, jamie woon and romy xxs creep.

exploited serve an ace from consistent, a group of well known producers working under the cloak of anonymity. previously having released on frontroom and boe with remixes for tartelet and man recordings, consistents track >feeling high< dices vocals and disco vibes into a house heavyweight something like hot city meets soundhack, coming with certified anthem status. get involved for the polished berlin-meets-chicago modernism thatll get you sweaty as a taxi drivers neck in july. its difficult to say whether this is tech house or deep house, strictly speaking, but either way the title track bumps. it funks and, although were told it comes from berlin, its damned chicago. this is the 2nd single from consistent (remember aint no bump?) on exploited. early support by kink (rush hour), optimo (jd twitch), laurent garnier (f-com), dj t (get physical), dj hell (gigolo), erol alkan (phantasy), brodinski (turbo), feadz (ed banger), round table knights (made to play), ian pooley robert dietz (cecille), till von sein (suol), adam port (liebe*detail), lee jones (watergate), stuffa (trunkfunk), mosca (nightslugs), lazer sword (stonesthrow/numbers), pezzner (freerange/om), acidpauli (console/notwist), jamie anderson (artform)

on orlando britains follow-up to his yore debut, >beneath the surface<, the uk producer laid down the new releases material in west london, but its heart and soul lies an ocean away, as the >motor city< track title suggests, britains also got a soft spot for classic house and techno, as evidenced by the title he has given to the thirty-minute ep. his first ep had sold out in seconds and this one, coming in 2 different coloured vinyl versions is expected to disappear even quicker. first very limited pressing comes as white vinyl.

two cover versions taken from the essential album gitano real. >i believe in miracles< is an overwhelming take on the jackson sisters classic in a rumba funk fashion. party stomper! and on the other side, a longer trip departing from mcfadden and whiteheads seminal >aint non stoping us now< and touching the revered latin disco version of charanga 76, only to end up as a fabulous clap-driven rumba stormer. two very necessary sun-soaked tunes for any self-respecting dj on neat transparent yellow vinyl. and yes, its a limited edition!

mr. st plomb makes everything groovy! the title track >wild at heart< is a banger. a banger with a sexy smile. full-blown organs. irresistibly funky steel-drums. and a little cosmic-ambient flirtation. dig a little deeper with house maestro agnes favela funk mixx, and get carried away in a dubby maelstrom that could turn any afterhour-celebration upsidedown. straight-up dancefloor fodder is st plombs chord-ridden b-side offering >life s here (aint we lucky?)<. a funky bass for a loving race? chicago, here we come!

if you have been exposed to this cultural phenomenon called electronic music for more than a while, you will certainly have in mind something more than bright sunsets and perfect waves when you evocate that part of our awesome planet called california. the west coast has provided an own-harvested sound that strives to differ itself from surrounding mainstream conditions, making it fine and classy when it comes to underground house and techno music. alland byallo aint no rookie on the issue, rolling beats for enough years now to need no intruduction. with productions on labels like dirt crew, liebe detail, dirty bird, poker flat or nightlight music (allands own imprint) he can be well considered like the last but one exponent of a whole lineage of californian producers.

b.h.f.v is the collaborative effort of arto mwambes cb funk and the live at robert johnson label manager oliver hafenbauer. originating from a cross-pollination of graffiti, train stations, red light districts and frankfurts club music roots, et 01 and et 06 are both all that those x-men and egyptian lovers ever wanted. two tracks, one sound. blueeyed electro-funk with sharp snares, jeep-boomin bass and haunting melody lines. retro fascists beware! this aint a historically correct or nerdy carbon copy, but a blast from the futures past. fresh as champagne morning dew. hip hop be bop.
