stop…press…an extraordinary radio slave donation for running back! the man like matt edwards took care of a matter near to his and our heart: an ep dedicated to the crafty dj duke, his infamous power music label empire and those massive sounds dat ruled di sound factory nation. one side holds a modern track in an old fashioned style of lovin (quote freely adapted from courtney melody): think rs >tantakatan< straightened out. >thats all the record do? yeah, bitch, thats all the record do.< special thanks go to omar-s for clarifying these matters once and for all. already huge with big room boys Âme, natty dread josh wink and a few others. surprise, surprise! flip for a portrait of a young and restless todd terry circa 92 slipping on his bathroom rug while listening to some x-102. dirt mcgirt! those 3 people out there who still buy audio plastic might be delighted to find out that they get a special bunch of bonus tracks: super heavy efx sirens, street noise and soothing rain sounds. can you dig it?

londoners kiwi and ashworth return to sneaky for a follow-up to dawn ep, the warm, dusty and at times experimental release, championed by the likes of daniel avery, eric duncan and tiefschwarz. the past few months have been busy for both halves of the duo, with kiwi signing to duke dumont s blase boys club and remixing for house music super-labels bpitch control and get physical, whilst ashworth has signed music to tomoki tamura s holic trax and needwant. second ep takes a new format, with two original tracks alaska and na am on the a-side, backed up by a nicholas & marcoradi remix of cux3 and ranacat s remix of zubr. alaska could be described as an amalgamation of the inspirations that lead to the first sneaky release, combining the pumping house beats of cux3, the comforting wurlitzer of zubr and the ethereal movie-soundtrack dusk. na am is something totally different, existing mainly as a collage of recorded and found sounds, avoiding the usual structure of house music in favour of something reminiscent of the weirder side of the chemical brothers. strange though the track may be, the climax would undoubtedly move a room full of pilled up ravers to a state of frenzy. the b-side remixes both hint to dance floors of the 90s, with nicholas and marcoradi making you wait and wait before dropping an unforgettable piano hook, whilst sneaky s ranacat lifts zubr out of context and into peak time territory.
