the second in this series of collaborations focusing on live improvised hardware jams, again from bookworms and steve summers..cool and heady stuff once again - these two get right in the zone! tip!

long time collaborators jason letkiewicz and nicholas dawson colab on the a side with their improvised confused house jam style. there off-the-cuff technique is subtle in its arrangement. ste-018 starts slow and expands with sublime patterns of melody and subtle drum fills. on the flip side, bookworms ste-101 changes the mood. a droning bass signal lies beneath driving percussion and surging noise. dissonant chords slowly creep there way into the track inducing hypnosis. zone out. file under stalker music

like seagal, bookworms and steve summers find themselves in dark territory

best known for his work on l.i.e.s and with steve summers as confused house, nik dawson aka bookworms drops an absolute banger on barcelona based label anomia. fans of the hazy textures of confused house here will be surely taken a back by the fact that the opening gambit on this ep, *mechanism* is utterly tonking. *photogenic* is another rushing weapon, while the closing track is a beautiful ambient piece. seriously killer ep, we can not recommend this enough!

*how you say* is the new single from factory floor. this is the third of three 12 inch singles and contains part of a wide and wonderful selection of remixes. this third ep contains new versions, both from bookworms, who turned in 2 new versions that were so good, we had no choice but to put them both out. bookworms aka nik dawson, had recorded many striking singles for both l.i.e.s. & confused house, collaborating with steve summers. this is his second remix for dfa (the first was for larry gus) and we are thrilled to have him back in the mix.

this is the first release under royal crown of sweden and features three original tracks with a remix by nik, j, and lori (also known as bookworms, steve summers, and lori napoleon).
