we are happy to welcome nyc based dj spider and berlin based franklin de costa in the killekill family. for catalog number 016 these two heavy weights of contemporary house music have joined forces to genetically modify their original sound and deliver 4 superdark and driving tools on the verge between techno and house – straight into the hands of the daring dj.

after releases from the likes of dakini9, fox and franklin da costa, it was only natural that jersey city-based label green village would turn to dj spider for a new 12 inch. well, it seems natural to us, in any case. the nyc artist is now a respected member of the big apple s contemporary house and techno wave, and it s an absolute must for him to be represented on the city s bubbling scene, especially when he s up for firing off tunes like space jungle and satsang, two mean, clubminded house bangers with a prominent lower-end. divide & conquer turns things darker and more ominous thanks to its icy, minimal approach a cold blend of stripped-back beats and circling bass tones while urantia of nebadon displaces the traditional house framework in favour of a dark, molecular selection of electronic sounds guided by a simple pattern of 4/4 beats. classic spider material

limited to 300. a fourth vinyl release for london label bleed, and a first full ep from new jersey based dj spider, who runs plan b and sublevel sounds, and has also released on the trilogy tapes, killekill and nord, occasionally in collaboration with phil moffa, marshalito and franklin de costa. spider also featured on the most recent bleed release, providing a remix for volte-face s all grown up ep. this release, burning museums , is said to -represent the loss of knowledge of mankind by the modern scientists who are destroying ancient texts in their attempt to erase history-. a tough, direct yet heady ep, burning museums features 4 spider originals, 3 primed for techno floors, and 1 ambient excursion. there s also a remix by bleed boss, volte-face. eatly support from svreca, dj nobu, daniel avery, tripeo and zadig.

plan b recordings continues its underground sounds compilation series. the a side represents label bosses dj spider and dakini9. dj spider is his usual twisted self on *hive mind* and dakini9s house- techno hybrid *lost* reveals a few layers of meaning for the careful listener. the b side welcomes berlins franklin de costa with a deep moody burner named *retreat* and fifth wall records co-boss divvorce turns in a stomper with *e./b.* to close out the compilation.
