2018 reissue

following on from the success of hotplates001, featuring germany’s otz, comes the boutique portsmouth-based label’s second release - from noted bristol producer theo bennett, aka sepia. at the forefront of dubsteps current generation of producers, sepia has received heavyweight support from the likes of mala, joe nice and truth, with a take on the genre that ranges from moody, melodic dub-hymns through to full throttled club tracks.

2019 repress , isle of jura s first lp reissue, the highly sought after voyage . a journey into discoid funk by brian bennett originally released in 1978. a cosmic disco classic completely re-mastered from the original master tapes by matt colton. 180g vinyl. bootleged badly in the past, re-issued with love now, the sound quality is top notch! tip.

repress - without dl code - susso, aka bassist / producer huw bennett, creates music inspired by, and directly sampling, the magnificent sounds of the mandinka people, recorded during a recent trip to gambia. initially travelling with the aim of gaining perspective as a musician and to discover a new world of music first hand, huw found himself humbled by such a welcoming community of artists, mostly belonging to the celebrated susso and kuyateh griot families.
the tracks are composed entirely from original source material, field recordings and huw’s talents as a multi-instrumentalist, performing tuned percussion from the region including the mandinka balafon, kutiringding drum, aswell drawing on his skill as a professional upright / electric bassist. the music produced has a contemporary electronic sound, whilst still paying homage to a traditional gambian aesthetic. keira (meaning peace) guides the listener through huw’s journey up the river gambia, being welcomed into remote dusty villages, where your people are the most important thing in life

modernista returns with new music from paul bennett aka duster valentine! modthree features two tracks - *overtaking on the inside lane* is a sparse, wild pitch-style rhythm track built around modulating chord sounds. on the flip *apologies apparently unnecessary* is a more individual take on the melodic deep house sounds of chicago that paul first hinted at on modone.

duets ii is another collection of american songbook standards performed in the best of ways. it includes collaborations with the best voices of music: aretha franklin, natalie cole, norah jones and k.d. lang grace the recording booth with this legendary singer.
but it is the tragic and premature passing of amy winehouse that makes this album truly special, her appearance on the duet >body and soul< is the last known recording of the british songbird, and it is a truly heartrending version of the 1930 jazz classic. if this isnt grammy material, we dont know what is!
pressing on double 180 grams audiophile vinyl, housed in gatefold sleeve.

modernista records reaches it’s fifth release and it’s over to paul bennett again with a pair of impressively varied productions. * on before off* is stripped to the bare bones techno with ever contorting razor-sharp arpeggios. as a counter balance, * although sometimes appear* is deep, emotive, melodic house with sound system-shaking bottom end.

cool, dark underground club monsters. being a top player in the music industry is not an easy task! but with 15years in the business and over 150 releases, 50+ remixes & 300+ compilation appearances the numbers of jeffs output speak for them self’s. jeff started creating music in 1994 and got hooked on it directly, but it took until 1998 before his first single was to come out on his own label maskros music. since that single he has released on labels like poker flat, night drive music, episode, treibstoff, kickin music, konvex konkav, plastic city, global underground, regular etc.

absolutely superb debut release from paul bennett on the new modernista label. he shares his love for raw machine music as exemplified by mid to late eighties labels like trax, dj international, dance mania & hotmix5 across these four tracks of expertly constructed retro deep house, acid and emotive electronic disco timeless music, which totally redefined the clubbing soundtrack, revisited and rendered in glorious modern production technicolour homage, yes... but with enough noughties nouse to win over a whole new generation.

originally released in 2004!! incl mugwump remix!

manual music is on a roll, providing you with one quality ep after another. this time its jeff bennetts turn to sign an essential release. >surface diving< is a deep floating breakbeat track that has gor that fine retro feel. retro but timeless! incl more punchy remixes by jeff himself and obical who surprised everyone with his debut release on manual..
