excellent deep house dbl header <br riding on the back of a surge of interest in de la club, the debut lp from hold youth, comes a smartly picked repress of house don nail. while the duo is known for their eclectic vision of dance music, the first repress on the label ive been there ep is in fact an exemplary example of straight-up, no-fuss house. enjoying a modest comeback of late both as a producer and dj, nail originally released full of beestone promise ep on diy discs in 97. the stronger two of the four tracks will be repressed one on each side, * our love* and * i ve been there*, distinctive for its melodic vocal and recent inclusion in the apollonia fabric 70 compilation. while we have become accustomed to hold youth’s diversification of sounds with the current lp, i ve been there reminds us that a pigeon-holable classic can be highly refreshing

occasionally jay haze will take some time away from his productions on contexterrior to release music with other labels like leftroom and desolate, or he ll provide a mix for fabric. here, in 2014, jay haze debuts on soul clap - and brings some friends with him. these friends are signor andreoni, an italian producer that s not released a solo record since 2010 (his last was with haze) and the unknown jordy lockruf. -take a dip- is a new-school cut of retrospective italo with those moaning synths perfect for a rimini dancefloor, while the two joints with lockruf provide one clunky, slide guitar twanging disco jam and a shuffling house cut that ever so lightly verges on electro swing - but not too much!

through the years, dragosh has established a solid following for his quality releases like his recent appearance on the fabric mix series compilation mixed by no less than arpiars rhadoo. teoria is a finely crafted ep of four tracks where intricate rhythms coalesces with synth pads and textures to create mystic atmospheres. the last touch is given by another talented romanian artist like priku, who reconstructed didiracrac giving it his typical sound signature.

the hyper-chromatic music of matt cutler marks him out as a true impressionist, as lone, he drizzles brightly coloured melody through his tracks with all the reflexive skill of a master painter daubing inks and pigment across paper. on cutlers fifth lone album, reality testing, released on r&s, he sends notes and chords rippling delicately into space before allowing them to disperse, each oozing beautifully away into the background fabric of the music. combined with rhythms that ebb and flow, shifting from propulsive club constructions to beatific coastal hip-hop, it is a sensuous, immersive, heady experience, and easily his most accomplished and selfcontained work to date.
the double vinyl comes with download code for the full album.

following his well received fabric mix comp in december 2013, ben sims returns to his own theory imprint with yet another ring release in the form of *reflection*, which features two original new tracks, a remix from rod and a vinyl exclusive. the eponymous opener is a strident, 909 + 707 driven affair that fuses overlapping, stereoscopic tones to a gently distorted and brutalist groove that sits somewhere between dance mania and detroit. *break glass* is the second original on offer and has been a heavily requested track for the past few months. the perfect partner to *reflection*, *break glass* is similarly overdriven but heavy on the sort of mechanical funk that sims does so well. rods version of *reflection* is a linear assault which ebbs and ows with purpose throughout a linear and intense arrangement while sims remix of *break glass* zeros in on bone rattling percussive aesthetics and vox samples, in much demand after featuring on his fabric mix cd.

the first collaboration from seasoned chicago electronic artists k-rad (chris grabowski) and opcode66 (todd mariana), kno-001 is a deep and techy ride through space and sound. *from dark to light* offers a tasteful, musical journey geared toward experienced listeners and late night party people. reminiscent of watching the night sky transform into sunrise, *from dark to light* captures and explores this glorious experience. with simple, driving bass, an edgy monosynth riff and well-crafted sounds, strings help carry the piece through its musical transition as it builds and ends with great energy. *dream about* subtly addresses concepts of isolation and futility as realities. listeners may contemplate the relationship between reality and dreams (and the necessary functions of each) while immersed in slowly-evolving melodies. with many incidental sounds worked into the fabric of the piece, simple and satisfying percussion, and lush effects trails, *dream about* playfully and defiantly transfigures reality into something dream-like.

nicolas cantu makes a welcome return to sequencias with the lost tribe—a brisk 808 workout with lush synthwork and psychedelic acid stylings. this is a more breezy approach compared to his work on other labels yet spares none of the imaginative or emotive qualities. on the flip side, label head jm de frias offers up the dissonant groover the light as a follow up to his debut track from levon vincents acclaimed fabric mix cd. brash percussion collides with staccato melodies awash in echo and organ, sustaining an intensity that never quite boils over. the two team up for the closer the last light, an atmospheric epic of growling strings, breathy ambience and melancholy stitched together with creaky, decrepit acid stabs and brittle percussion. this is the beginning of an on going collaboration between the two, keep your ears open in the near future.

limited edition of 275 numbered copies.
when gilles peterson reacts to a house record, you know it is a very special house record. deep and soulfull, love it - was what the 6 music dj thought of these two. if that wasnt enough, trickski described best things in life are free as one hell of a bomb. add in support from jimmy edgar, mark e, severino and dusky and this is looking like one of glasgow undergrounds most successful records to date. love games is the a bit of a wolf in sheeps clothing. what starts off as hooky percussive groove slowly morphs into a full vocal classic with swirling chords and a killer synth hook. severino dropped it at fabric recently and took the roof off the place. best things in life are free is a darker affair – all wandering acid lines and moody, emotional strings - but as trickski proved when they played it at watergate, just as effective.

18 year old alfie is the latest signing to space + time records. his dancefloor-attuned production has already garnered support from key djs around the world & on the likes of radio 1, xfm & rinse, and blogs such as xlr8r and resident advisor. the youngest ever to play fabric at a precocious 16, he is rapidly making a very good name for himself and carving out a reputation as a fine producer and superb dj, having played sets at the likes of the found warehouse party, corsica studios (church), the nest in dalston, audio in brighton and nye at digital alongside julio bashmore, with plenty more in the diary. joining the package is citizen, leading light of kerri chandlers madtech records, who brings his big room dynamics to lead track hy-brasil.

the 8th release in the truncate series featuring the track coaster which was used in ben klocks fabric 66 mixed cd. on remix duty comes las own developer and esoteric from berlin.

our first offering from survival and silent witness sets off the tone of what to expect from the full *in from the wild* package itself and album which seems to morph and twist from all out dance floor brutality to musical genius and back like these 2 artists seem to do so often and so effortlessly. *the feeding* is a powerful space age drum-shuffled crowd killer whilst *lights* presents a more musical journey from start to finish, in our eyes it is a very complete 12 inch pick from a very well pieced album. trust us, this talented duo are taking no prisoners in 2013.
support for the album so far from: friction (on bbc radio 1), laurent garnier (on his pbb worldwide radio show), london elektricity (on his hospital records xmas podcast). select tracks have also received wide support and praise from the likes of calyx & teebee, break, ant tc1, nymfo (as featured on his fabric mix), xtrah, youngsta, octane, dlr, skeptical, artificial intelligence, dbr uk, basher, mindscape, lynx, cern, hybris, ruckspin, june miller and gerra & stone.

with releases under a range of pseudonyms (orpheus, sir leon greg, nite vision) and support for his previous explorations of depth coming from the likes of john heckle, dj deep, aroy dee, chicago skyway and steffi to name but a few, once again perseus traxx unashamedly shows his nature on this release. thoughts, feelings and emotions are by far the most important influences on music, and capturing moments then translating into a musical form he once again documents the more personal elements of his life, taking you deep. perseus weaves a rich tapestry of emotions and desires using heavily weighted bass tones and skipping percussion that thread together with expansive strings and pads. these are married with more detailed melodies and modulated tones that shimmer in and out of the psyche as he uses analogue boxes and their warmth like a loom. this collection of music ranges from the deep and dreamy, to total transcendence within steady dance floor rhythms clothed in a warm yet spacious fabric of sound. deep house, sometimes with a real sense of urgency that juxtaposes with it is inherent flights of fancy.

k hand returns on third ear with 4 killer cuts. by selecting k hands starz for his fabric 66 mix, ben klock is the latest in a long line of djs who always have k hand records in their boxes. vibe, tone and groove is why. this release is no different.
