since we opened our small record store in brighton we have been asked repeatedly for new garage releases on wax. this reminded us that not too much that is available at the moment which could easily fit that criteria. and as long term garage fans ourselves we are more than happy to oblige the faithful with 4 killa darkside steppers from londons buzzin 10. the beats harken back to classic uk garage but are topped off by synths that share common musical ground with detroit electro or european electronica.

four years after their debut full length on distraction records, close hell yeah family members tempelhof are back on the label with a brand new album, frozen dancers.

bay area wonder kid nick monaco makes his shining debut on soul clap records with this very limited 7inch release. the a side butterfly is a slo-mo, 808 laden, melodic piece of postmodern psychedelic e-funk. on the flip side my babys back (cant wait) delivers a response to 80s icon cameos single life. an innocent yet poignant and hopeful breakup- to-makeup love song, its clear that monaco isnt too shy to reveal his romantic side.

tis the season to remain anonymous it seems. the guessing games continue here with the unknown prankster. we cant tell you who it is, because that would render the artists chosen title useless. and he might be slightly miffed at. if it is even a he ... what you do need to know is that these two tight little magic numbers should not be missed! we will leave you with the clips so you can make your own mind up ... needless to say, you might recognise one or two things here.

there is music that is made from the outside looking in. the textures are vibrant and the beats bang, but there is a hollow radiance at the core. it is pantomime. then there is los angeles alfred darlington aka daedelus, who has released a dozen albums in a dozen years straddling countless sub-genres. they are united by his insistence on letting his emotions guide the blueprint. if you have listened to his music, you understand. there is a balance between the direct and the obtuse that cant be articulated in words. this is part of the subtext for drown out, daedelus most elegiac album. his debut for anticon is a heart-on-sleeve meditation devoted to loss, coded language, and the maddening failures of communication. and yet you can still bob your head to it.
the vinyl lp comes with code for download of the full album.

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.

french producer kool vibes returns with a third offering on his own self titled label, continuing to mine that sound classically rooted in the early 90s east coast swing of new york and new jersey. vibes abound on > u got me< with the titular vocal hook leading a orchestra of bouncing percussive rhythms, spritely neon dipped keys and an infectious bassline thump, whilst > house music< shows kool vibe dipping into the sounds of vintage murk productions with equal aplomb

following on your work as one of the twin pioneers of glaswegian radge-rock in arab strap cant be an easy task. aidan clearly has had other ideas, quite different ideas, and most of them comprise his solo project release via his alter ego, lucky pierre. in these recordings, l. pierre pays an affectionate tribute to the wear and tear of overplayed vinyl, the hiss, scratch and pop of records long loved but worn down. it is the sound of survival, the echoes of a life lived well, moth eaten music of dasness and resilience, of beauty and backbone.
pressing on 10 inch vinyl, download code included.

stuck in the 9-5 grind, stifled by the impersonality of constant social media and mobile interaction, contemporary urban life can be suffocating. for a certain breed, release cannot be found in the vast, unpopulated great outdoors. urban animals congregate in heaving warehouses, seeking solace in the liberating beats of the kick drum. they are bound not by association, but through a shared experience of primal relief felt in those shadowy, dance floor corners swelling with the sounds of low end frequencies and brazenly sculpted grooves. this is the urban animals jungle.

7th argument with four serious house tracks

the summer might be almost over, but groovetraxxs is just getting started with an impressive vinyl debut. label boss le babar teams up with fellow belgian pat lezizmo for a delightful piece of underground house music that sets the groove and gets you going on the dance floor. deep basslines, fresh drums and a simple melody are some of the ingredients to *another love*, but it is that oh so special vocal hook that really sets the mood. on the flip, two remixes complete the already-impressive 12 inch. golf clap give the track a more laidback-vibe with their trademark classy smoothness, while scott diaz turns it into a never ending pumping beast, perfect for those peak time moments. this is a release you cant afford to miss!
