the 1995 album from sf punk rockers jawbreaker back on light blue coloured vinyl.

carlo is back for his second vinyl release on odb, this time with a 4 tracker called strawberry fields ep . on the a side , 2 slamming house cuts penetrating the senses with round textures and subtle vocals and a slightly dubby feel to it. on the flip side , carlo inject a bit of “jazzy funk” in the receipe for another two very well crafted tracks . but this time deeper and overflowing with emotions .

living reggae heroes toots and the maytals unveiled their first ever acoustic album in the summer of 2012, to coincide with the 50th anniversary of jamaican independence day.
the album was recorded at sunset with the blue mountains providing the stunning backdrop. the gorgeous, sun-kissed acoustic session depicts a soulful and intimate side to revered classics like “funky kingston”, “pressure drop” and “54-46”. the loose rhythms and toots trademark vocal make “unplugged on strawberry hill” the perfect soundtrack for summer.
limited first pressing of 1.500 numbered copies on sun coloured 180 gram vinyl. includes 4 page insert.

after an 8 month long break, sylphe is back, this time changing things for the first time with a solo ep by the b side dweller, micawber. he is delivering two solid, thumping techno cuts in the well-known mystifying sylphe mood. on the a side we have * fasma*, a rolling, melancholic techno jam. sparkling rhythms meet lamenting melodies in a 10 minute trip of bubbly sub-basslines and transcendent grooves. on the usual b side micawber is delivering yenbashu. a psyched-out trip into electronics, it moves swiftly into an experimental territory of madness, full of edgy and shuffled up beats. both cuts remain true to the sound sylphe has forged, albeit taking a sharper turn and evolving naturally. we will be pressing 599 copies.

as 2014 comes to an end, the london based duo is closing the year with yet another split ep. on the a-side we have vimmes, a low-slung groove with percussive textures that expand gradually and steadily, evolving along shadowy soundscapes and intricate rhythms. its a fine example of holdie gawns personal style, stripped back grooves moving along melodic tones and sound design. micawber on the other side offers a shuffled up house track under the name de jure. syncopated synth lines, lush pads and melodic textures make this an warm, lush early morning electronic affair.

great reissue of this early 80s boogie classic from sandy kerr. with production duties undertaken by sandys father, prolific soul writer/producer george kerr alongside sugarhill hip-hop/electro artist reggie griffin, and engineered by bob blank, this is a superb chugging uptempo boogie/rap cut based on a sample from uk band i-levels club hit *give me* which came out the same year. as well as filling floors across the us it was a big underground favourite in the uk for djs such as greg wilson. released on small south carolina label catawba, this 12 inch features the killer in-demand dub chimental version on the flip as well as sandys smooth rapping a-side. dont miss!

holdie gawn & micawber are back with sylphe06: once again working around their usual split format. holdie gawns * moon ride* is a haunting, melancholic trip in a deep mood, that stretches slowly and steadily over 12 minutes in a journey of enchanted synths and micro-grooves. over to the b side we have * vattum* by micawber, a solid, stopming techo affair with a large, deep bassline & kikcdrum, resonating and pulsating slowly. on top crispy rides, hats & glitches accompany the groove slowly, making this ep a fine comdination between two very different yet effective tracks for the mind and the dancefloor.

as 2013 draws to a close, sylphes very own holdie gawn & micawber are delivering their first release for 2014, sylphe 05. taking shape in the familiar split format, the sylphe duo is delivering their most daring work to date. a side features >thron<, an acid influenced deep groover which expands over 11 minutes and builds up slowly with stomping sub-bass notes, combined with smooth sonic textures: a fine blend of new and old school influenced with a modern approach. on the flip, >f7< sounds a lot like an ongoing computation process. riding along edgy electronic soundscapes and a heavy kick & bass combination, it evolves evolving gradually into an experimental jam, packed up with shuffled glitches and rhythms. one copy per customer

just as summer arrives, sylphes bosses holdie gawn & micawber are delivering their third ep hypofermsenso. on the a side hypoferm has holdie gawns trademark sound, with analogue bouncy warm snares and hi-hats, accompanied by synthesized modulations and raw filtering action, forming a chuggy, sleek rhythm with deep reaching basslines and a lot of movement. on the flip, micawbers -senso- offers a tribute to experimental composer john cage by incorporating parts of his vocal works into creating a landscape of mysticism, riding along sub-bass tones and syncopated drums, an afterhours number with a psychedelic twist

excellent analog sounding deep house out of london
