brand new music from the mysterious francis inferno orchestra on londons join the dots music label. 2010 and saw a slew of releases for francis inferno orchestra on under the shade, wolf music and dikso which gained the attention and support from disco and house dons the revenge, eamon harkin, session victim, cottam, eddie c, jay shepheard, hot toddy and chamboche.

pattern select aka milton jackson and show-b have gone well and truly back to the raw on this, their first collaborative work together and debut ep for delusions of grandeur. both producers have been busy on some top quality projects just recently with milton jackson remixing recloose for planet e and show b producing for robert owens on compost. the pair met at a party in munich, promptly fell in love, and soon enough pattern select was born. kicking off tale of the tape sees the pair go deep n dark on this low-slung groove where demonic laughter rides the driving hats and insesant crashes until the filtering arpeggiated synth line joins the fun. tale of the dub gives us a stripped back, dub-infused version which goes a little lighter on the craziness of the first version but without losing any of the deep, hypnotic funk.

supported by: steve bug, chris duckenfield, roberto rodriquez, trickski, cottam, tazz, craig smith, christopher rau, baaz, ekkohaus, ethyl, james johnston, ...

deep space orchestra have been carving out a very nice name for themselves over the past year, and alongside the likes of cottam and krl it&#700,,,s safe to say that they are helping to establish an exciting new movement of raw, detroit-inspired house. the diy approach is very much a part of their ethic, as is the underground feel and aesthetic which imbues their own use of weapons label as well as their recent releases on similarly minded vinyl-orientated labels such as foto and kirk degiorgio&#700,,,s legendary art. the release we have here is perhaps their most refined music yet, showing a development in their production level on two tracks which are brimming with a warmth and fatness whilst retaining that critical raw edge which only a handful of the most exacting producers seem capable of. lo pan builds around a fat, bouncing bass line and a brilliantly lilting groove created by straight 808 hats and shuffling shakers. the feel keeps shifting throughout the song, sometimes superswung, sometimes straight and driving, all the while simple detroit strings build and analogue arps are layered up building the tension in the arrangemen

the first release on use of weapons saw heavy support from djs across the board - jocks such as jimpster, the revenge, the unabombers, bill brewster, tornado wallace and more all gave their support to the inaugural release.
following on from deep space orchestras >trust skynet< ep, cottam heads up use of weapons 002 with a killer track already turning the heads of those that know. needing no introduction after a series of sellout releases on his own self-titled label, the mysterious lancastrian brings strings, acid and a building drum track to a release that is sure to widen eyes on the dancefloor and beyond.

brand spanking new label sccucci manucci launches with a 12inch offering containing cuts from four different but equally pleasing sources. those of you who hang out at the crossroads where disco meets house will no doubt already be keenly aware of the stylings of aussie pup francis inferno orchestra, and here he turns in piano-driven stomper >horizon beat<. no less euphoric is >scare the night> by jonno & tommo - alas not a production duo from far north queensland but the considerably less tropical climes of london - who drop an oven warm slow-mo jam that brings to mind i:cubes epic >falling<. scott featherstone & tino tcb on the flip, with >circles< guaranteed to raise a smile from the more discerning corners of the dancefloor. portuguese newcomer ramboiage rounds off the release, dropping some cottam-esque heavy thud house on >pretty baby<. already in the record bags of jacques renault and other members of the disco cognoscenti, fans of wolf music and kolour recordings will be all over this record which comes wrapped in some seriously porno artwork
