secret circuit, having been knighted by tastemaker tim sweeney by releasing their first 12? on his beats in space imprint, seriously run the voodoo down with this intense jam:jungle drums, spellbinding exotic chants once obstinately nesting in your head once you heard them, cheeping, bleeping and tweeting dub noises messing with your sense of orientation, gyrating guitar chords in a my bloody valentine style and between all this wonderful sonic chaos a slightly latin jazz tinged piano breaks its way. a beautiful maze of a track where you easily can get lost in for the rest of this summer. on the flip portugals tiago accentuates the cosmic rock vibe throwing in an aggressive guitar riff that sounds very much like chicagos im a man and prins thomas chucks the looser jam-like first part of the original over board and bundles the psychedelic elements to a breathlessly, constantly intensifying pressure cooker.

the rhythmical whims journey continues with rstlss trx boss phil asher team up with dwala for more quality deepness.
an imprint that bridges the gap between soulful and tech house, rstlss trx lays its focus on providing straight-up dance floor orientated house music and the rhythmical whims 2 ep sits perfectly within the labels remit. whether it is the sprawling dub house vibes of crowds which has been winning the praise of dancefloors across the globe, the dark tribal intensity of balafon on which dwala steals the show, or the hypnotism of the aptly titled london style, functionality is at the core of this well-crafted ep.

arms & legs welcomes kristin velvet. excellent deep & modern disco with a touch of house.

formed somewhere in the 5th dimension, acid mondays is the cosmic coalition of fellow psychonauts negghead and lex wolf. brought together by their love for fat beats, inter dimensional travel & cups of tea, they are on a never-ending journey exploring inner and outer space. expect altered states of hallucinogenic house and reality bending techno. it would be a cliché to say they have a great future, but they’ve been there and beyond and have returned to the now to do it all again…

so what is after the void ... we bang the bomb of course with a lady in a thong surrounded by snakes and hand grenades, obvious really! having been away for some time it appears that a light sounds dark spring is in the air. en route to their next destination (rumoured to be a dark subterranean world full of nasty mutants danger electrified tracks out this summer) with arms out the window and the mothership roof down, its full steam ahead and proper european dance music time. not really train spotting as before although a couple are a bit off piste like maltas very own ian dury by the name of iain richardson rapping about sitting on a green bus! much more like it however are classic italo covers of big in japan, gloria, a wonderful new wave version of falcos euro smash der kommissar and the thoughts massive german hit wait a long time sounding like some long lost talk talk record. light sounds dark do some minor tweaking (going for that natural look) to big beast anthems axodrys you and colme 111s you take me high (early euro take on chicago) and for lovers of something a bit more funky theres some groovy goings on from kraut funksters epsilon urging people to leave the city which might not be a bad idea if the water runs out.

harvey mckay has recorded quality music on soma and lately on 8 sided dice. he has already done a remix for trapez, but this is his first solo 12 inch vinyl. the two tracks can loosely be considered as dub techno although they bend the genre in an nice way.

alden tyrell hooked up with mike dunn for some new work!. a golden combination which already worked out great as we learned from the heavy remix tyrell did for the murphy jax & mike dunn collaboration (its the music - cat# cjfd06). tyrell always jamming and playing around with his synths had some tracks inspired by early mike dunn songs. so the obvious happened ... the hooked up for some appropiate vocals and here it is ... touch the sky! a peak time acid monster with mikes vocal chant in the style of his classic md3 projects. gerd is on remix duty here and delivers a killer remix with a more traditional chicago groove and build up. clone head honcho serge had some studio time with tyrell for a dub mix. the serge & tyrell dub mix turned out a bit wild and became a classic piece of piano and dx bass driven chicago house music with stuttering vocal samples and a acidic synth line. another strong clone jack for daze!

producer, dj and post-production engineer stepan chernov (aka kammerton) can safely be named a musical multitalent. stepan has pianist and kapellmeister degrees and already collaborated with numerous live bands and projects. his serpentine ep is a fresh breath of detroit influenced house with spacious dub synthlines and mesmerizing groove. the title tune >serpentine< is a slow burner and sets the tone for the record with dreamy synth progressions, discreetly jazzy keys, squelched chords and solid 4/4 rhythm. while >mistress < is an intuitively constructed dub-house killer, the kind of ever-morphing detroit stabs makes this ep irresistible. >winergy< concludes the serpentine journey from moscow to detroit and traps you in the subtly intricate and hypnotic groove of that new wave of russian deep

fanatico is a new project of mathias schaffhäuser and vocalist jorge socarras (macro music / compost rec.) from new york. >tessio< is the first single of a collection of tracks which will be released as an album later this year. composed and released by luomo (a.k.a. vladislav delay) in 2000 on force tracks, this song was always one of schaffhäusers favourite minimal house tunes. the track comes with fabulous remixes by kink (ovum rec., rush hour, modelisme) and m.in featuring chriss vogt (yellow tail, desolat, get physical, mothership).

ilario alicante might well be best known for his previous releases on big room labels cocoon and cecille but preconceptions can be misleading. here on sudden drop we plough a deeper furrow, not ones for hands up in the air shenanigans we prefer to get our heads down on the dancefloor for some serious introspection, which is why this 3 tracker from the italian born ilario finds its way onto our label. echotechno is indeed a main room slice of stomping techno but with that oh so important moody vibe that we crave here at sd,rouge dub on the flip delves deeper with an exceedingly trippy soundscape whilst untitled drop rounds things off with a spritely techno groove.

36 hours in. the lights are flickering and the sweat is pouring out of you like the thoughts that you re trying to write down, to get down the words, to put down the message, to translate all the ideas that keep appearing in your head. ideas like uninvited guests that keep showing up and refusing to leave. somewhere though, there s a truth in there. you know it because you saw it. you know it because you felt it. because when you knew that even though there were ten million reasons why you should go to bed now, why you should go to bed straight away. that you should put these silly things down and stop trying to create and just get some sleep already. that you should stop trying to wrestle the ideas in your subconscious down to the ground so you can actually capture and express them to others. but you persist.

from the beginning of bristol archive records involvement in documenting bristols neglected reggae heritage we have wanted to release an album that showcases the great talent of one of the local reggae scenes mainstays, joshua moses.
unfortunately, joshua has no copies of the many recording sessions he has done in the years since his first session in 1978, and so it has taken more than eighteen months of painstaking research and the pursuit of numerous leads to gather together the fifteen tracks on >joshua to jashwha - 30 years in the wilderness<. the result is more than worth any effort involved on our part and is as strong a debut album as anyone could wish for, guaranteed to create a buzz among reggae fans worldwide.
