in 2015s hip-hop culture, built on stale rhymes about sex, money and drugs, houston-bred, minneapolis-based artist, lizzo relies on inventive wordplay and an ability to seamlessly flow between rapping and singing to set her above the rest. her debut solo release lizzobangers lives and dies by lizzo s unique delivery and cadence, fueled by the depth of her pop-culture, social and historic references, ranging from lizzie borden to cogsworth to anna wintour. beyond the pop references and inventive wordplay, lizzobangers goes deep into challenging stereotypes, societal norms and the state of our culture in a rare matter-of-fact and non-politicized way. the vinyl lp includes a download code.

here at nang towers we are really happy to have back slovenian talent sare havlicek, without any doubt one of our favourite producers, and to present you all his latest creation *movies for lovers*. sometimes we like to try something a bit different. often the process of creating an album can be a not-so-simple task: which tracks are the singles? which is the breather track? do we have ten songs? have we covered all the bases? the list goes on. sometimes the answer is to throw convention out the window and just try to harness a burst of energy and get it down on eighteen minutes-a-side of vinyl. we gave sare the following brief: lock yourself in a studio for four weeks and come up with a piece of cohesive work. abandon the formulas, do some experimenting and (most importantly) try some things you wouldnt normally do. *movies for lovers* is the result of that session and encapsulates the feeling of the journey sare embarked on to bring you this album.

originally released in 1997, this early production from the legendary dutchman gerd has recently enjoyed a revival, the rare wax finding its way back into the sets of raresh, ryan elliott and bass culture label boss d julz, amongst a few happy others. after seeing on a number of occasions the magic effect ‘mass majestic’ could have on the crowd, the catchy hook appealing to all ears, d’julz knew what the next release had to be. with scarce second-hand copies hotly in demand, this secret weapon is about to see a new lease of life via bass culture. reissued in a remastered and slowed down version, ‘mass majestic’ is one of those tracks which stays on your mind long after the party is over ... the haunting keys, the intensity of the synths and the climax of clashing symbols, all driven along by the raw chugging bass-line makes this a peak-time winner. the flip side features ‘to reach’, another track from the original ep. a big room monster of rolling bass and syncopated keys, its old skool charm and brash energy grabs you to full-on, trippy effect. considered a prolific, timeless and highly eclectic producer, ‘mass majestic’ ep indulges in gerd’s blatant ballsy techno side, remaining an extremely effect dj tool 17 years on.
