after appearances on idle hands and brstl, rhythmic theory returns to their own imprint to further explore gritty textures and mysterious moods within house and techno frameworks. where theory001 featured the somewhat soothing, melancholic tones of >echo vibe< and >omega syndrome<, this second installment comes caked in sonic muck and abrasive attitude.its not all dark and foreboding, as the graceful filter-swept key refrain of >siren song< will attest, but it takes a barrage of rasping hats and bludgeoning kicks and toms before such niceties can be foisted upon our ears. while there is an optimistic lilt to the particular notes the melody calls out, in the midst of such machismo percussion it cant help but feel emotionally ambiguous, continuing the tone set out in the first rhythmic theory releases.there is no such confusion over b side cut >genesis< from the apocalyptic boom of the opening kick to the rapid gun fire of the snare this is a track that wants to inflict damage. at the midway point the searing beat melts away as a wash of delay-riddled speech knocks you from your centre of gravity, only for the drums to come whipping back in to pick up the slack. even the sole synth note that rears its head is devoid of compassion, pulsing a creepy, robotic intonation through the clamour.

after a new trip to new york and several collaborations on their respective projects both fellows decided to work on a common project: in the cut. still inspired by mid-90s new york hip-hop, this albu is produced entirely by dj low cut. nutso is not alone behind the microphone since you will found many guest appearances like smiley the ghetto child, rasheed chappell, dirt platoon, timeless truth, nems, ft, ag da coroner and c-rayz walz. like the song *shut em down* (a tribute to public enemy) or *grand scheme*, the 10 tracks of *in the cut*, definitely boom bap, will bring you in a world where underground hip-hop sharp lyrics, mingles with the melancholy samples soul 70s.

wilde calm records is proud to present some say, a recently discovered song from the archive of arthur russell. the track was produced and mixed by arthur in 1985 for a solo project of steven halls that was originally intended for release on rough trade records. legendary disco producer bob blank recorded and engineered the project at his connecticut-based studio. some say features arthurs classic cello basslines, cracking boom bap drums and stevens floating vocals and synth pads. in true arthur fashion, the song abrubtly stutters, slinks and lurches halfway through for steven to complete his buddhist pop mantra. the b-side features an extended rework of some say by pocketknife using arthurs boss dr. rhythm dr-55 drum machine.

the black madonna returns to home taping with another classic release in the making! we still believe captures that early sound of chicago when you could still hear the euro and italo influences as they were re-interpreted through the beat boxes & synthesisers of the windy city, and made to jack. on the flip, home taping favourite the revenge delivers his own take on that classic sound with an understated and yet pumping rework. packed full of authentic beatbox sounds and warehouse style keys, it works it to the boom boom. last but not least, the black madonna finishes off the package with say my name - a dirty, menacing and incessant groove that makes out like a wild new street dance that just got turned loose. the black madonna is here to stay!

anticon founder and instrumental rap innovator alias is reborn with fever dream, his sixth full-length for the label. alias acclaimed 2008 lp resurgam represented a culmination of the sound he had been chasing the previous five years -- a bewitchingly blue combination of icy atmosphere, haunted melodies and hard drums. he cleansed his palate with 2010s fallen house, sunken city, the modern boom-bap masterpiece he produced for emcee b. dolan, and when it came time to return to the alias oeuvre, he was ready for a reboot.

keeping with tradition, the second italojohnson release of 2012 once again presents itself in the likeliness of a 12inch wax with three tracks. the one-track mind repeats the same funk-nationalistic character of italojohnson and once more shows its simplicity. this tune comes to its rite where it is loud and dirty but even headz sitting at home will be able to feel the sun rise. boom shakalaka. the double-track side has some surprises in store for its listeners. for those in the know, the first track is also known as >bootytrack<. this track always pushes the low end to the limit and under the right circumstances guarantees some hip swing. number two may sound familiar, but even if you dont know its rootz, youll still be down with each other

here we find a couple of heavyweights facing off with one of the centre pieces of orgue electroniques acclaimed >strange paradise< album. on the one hand we have kink & neville watson (an unlikely pair blabla but you know all that) with a swooning but rather pressing epic that unexpectedly turns into a harmonious vortex. and once you have crossed its event horizon it proceeds to quite exquisitely tear you to shreads. marvel as you turn into jelly and watch your legs grow longer and longer in what not only seems like an eternity, but actually is cause umm technically, like, there aint no time in a black hole dude! code! speaking of which, if you ever do make it to the other side, you will find up n cummer willie burns (who is known to many as the brooklyn budgie smuggler) oldschool jacking the faders with two of the sikkest organic beat tracks north of the corpse of ron (who is in a dead heat with jimi, jim and james in the race for most desecrated musician in like 4evah). anyhow, these jamz come courtesy of the sp12. feel it feel it feel it feel it... boom knock out!

here we go again! the heels of love strike gold once again with their new single >flight 707< on nang. it arrives accompanied by a strong brace of remixes from jadoo, billy bogus, and braking dogs. boom!

the wait is over. the outside agency and ophidian unite on the 20th genosha release to collectively blow minds, expand vocabularies and sow the seeds of confusion. we could describe the tracks to you, but that would spoil all the fun and/or disappointment. if you have ever asked yourself what would happen if these three got together and made a whole ep, then the answer to your question is available for you to purchase right here. boom.

beyond white noise, way past pink noise, is a sonic treasure chest unearthed by beyond the wizards sleeve for their long awaited new single … the sound of >black noise<. hypnotic, widescreen and with a killer low end boom, >black noise< marks the return of erol alkan and richard norris future freak beat duo on 12 inch vinyl.
flip the twelve over for a gentler, more baroque approach. >door to tomorrow< recalls the pastoral beauty of the left banke at their finest. a classical motif meets euros childs yearning, lilting vocal, a sunkissed, melodic, string and harmony laden treat.

in 2006, hip-hop was turned on its head by the arrival of chicagos kenny dennis, a proudly married, mustachioed and middle-aged rapper repping no-nonsense lyrics and a salt-of-the-earth swagger. this unlikely hero delivered a handful of classics via the album, dennehy, and then disappeared. but in 2011, kennys cult of fans were given a gift: the long-lost 1993 lp theres a situation on the homefront from his theretofore unheard boom-bap crew tha grimm teachaz. (kenny was then known as kdz, tha killa deacon. the group was briefly signed to jive records.) as it turned out, that gift was twofold. inspired by the anticon-backed release of that unearthed gem, kenny has teamed up with producers jel and odd nosdam to make a brand new record, a reintroduction of sorts, dubbed the kenny dennis ep.

nitetime is the new production duo from boston, usa comprised of kon (from kon & amir) and whisky baron and was actually first send to us by fellow bostonians soul clap. nitetimes debut ep. jive talk sits on a bridge between og boom bap hip hop - with its tough drums and grooved up interludes - and the 4/4 rhythms of classic house and disco. it also comes packed with a little more history than meets the eye…,.the ep has only just been pressed to wax and its already picking up love from gilles peterson, jacques renault, eli escobar, soul clap, recloose, karizma, lefto from belgium and lovemonk in madrid. dont let this record slip through those dusty fingers of yours.

ly sander & michael j. collins join forces to bring you raoul06 via raoul, a deep, soothing ep. no response is a laid back and haunting piece, featuring warm bass and soaring pads. percussion is kept simple here, with the focus on the bass groove and introspective wording. home listening and chill out sessions arent complete without this air-y number. to bring it up a bit, the >deep space orchestra remix< lays a beat and a groove under the track and takes us to galactic depths. a cool energy is spread throughout and saucy percussion takes the levels higher. this is a late night dance track that gives goose bumps. it will certainly help to reconnect senses in the early morning. >russian roulette< displays nice use of delay and relaxed percussion. this hasnt got the boom of techno, but it does have the space-y synths and ambience to bring you up to your feet. when everything is in place, it feels right an afterparty delight.

2x12 inch repress version (ohne downloadcode und ohne 7 inch bonus)!! in der pampa weiß man nicht, was einen erwartet. bei >thora vukk< sind ein heller und ein dunkler fluss ineinander verwoben und so verschieden die beiden stränge auch sind, so notwendig sind sie füreinander. die düsteren, herausforderenden klangräume bringen die melodischen, clubbigen tracks zum strahlen. die feingliedrigen grooves kommunizieren mit jeder einzelnen muskelfaser. sie ziehen an den gliedmaßen wie an den fäden einer marionette. bezaubernd schöne strings eröffnen ein packendes oder doch ungreifbares popmoment. durch die ständigen variationen öffnen sich die fächer der grooves immer anders. im gegensatz zum ersten robag-wruhme-album sollte das neue gesetzter werden und mehr mit melodien und mit selbst aufgenommen samples arbeiten - ideal für das schlafzimmer und für >fahrgastzellen aller art<.

ramona is pretty nervous to welcome a new name to her ever-growing happy family. in fact, its actually an old band member. christian beisswenger alias cb funk alias one half of arto mwambe is not exactly one you would call a stranger. for >77 reasons< he debuts as the citizens band with some novel sounds on risky grounds. in love with details, fragile sounds, little tricks and with a fine ear for the action, the band leader tiptoes into deep bleepy house just enough to call >west 42nd< exactly that. >77 reasons< however plays around with a memorable little melody, a skanking lead and some boom sonics. whatever you want to call it, ramona is fine with it. orson and kane would be proud.
