off the back of their first ep release, super fun bumper editions trends, which received support from the likes of xl8r, thump, future classic, and bradley zero, beats of no nation is now gearing up for its second release by the chord memory band. chord memory band is a recent collaboration between michael medlycott (from the band vulture street tape gang) and dom bird (bonn co-founder and member of the live disco 4 piece mitzi). at the end of 2016, michael and dom caught wind of a cave, nestled beneath a sacred mountain, deep in the australian outback. the rumours described a cave filled with nocturnal animals and ancient flora, but more importantly, a stash of vintage synthesizers and drum machines. guided by whispers and caught up in the mystic mystery of it all, the duo set off with a dusty four-track tape recorder in an attempt to capture these mythical cave vibes and place them on a record. michael and dom surfaced several months later, with four recordings and no memory of what had occurred. these recordings became their synergistic third eye ep – an analogue journey into the spiritual world, with one simple message, the answer is inside.

nice price deal !!! like his creator (julien decoret), opium factory is a vision of what electro rock is today. the idea is minimal and with no artifice , a hairy drum and bass combo serving nonchalant vocals in a raw sound environnement. this music refrains itself from any form of radio edit and seeks on the contrary to emphesize on the hypnosis element of voodoo. upright bass player for nouvelle vague and bassist for la boétie, julien decoret is not at his first shot and delivers here an original and matured sound.

rick wade delivers 3 excellent tracks for people of earths sixth release. escapism is warm, distorted & moody. dark strings, chords & a thick kick with low end that gives subwoofers a work out. stand alone is classic big rick. an anytime house jam, chord changes and drum grooves. just perfect. understand, old skool breaks & sample heavy. a bit of a departure from our norm…and we love it.

huge support from jeremy underground / floating points / motor city drum ensemble. huge record if youre into disco, modern or just good fucking music and you probably dont own unless you work in the city or spend half you life looking for it. frazelle is the party record that everyone wants, big support all round on this so dont be waiting around and then email us when they are gone. licensed from ken frazzelle himself which always makes us happy. expect bileo like sales on this so stock up as they will fly
