hip hop did not develop in a vacuum - its roots can be traced back to the earliest afro-american music, and the folks who were influenced by these sounds along the way. this lp compiles some of the great recordings that showcase the spoken word and street culture put forth from the 1920s through the 1960s that would go on to influence the entire rap music genre. the themes will be familiar - religion, politics, black experience, badass gangsta rap, speed, sex, drugs and rock n roll. lets listen to the lessons that the hipsters of the past taught the rappers of today.

no introduction is really needed for the massive balearic anthem *jibaro*. elkin & nelsons scorching latin disco classic hit big throughout spain, south america and nycs underground club scene in 1979 when this now rare and hard-to-find disco 12 inch version originally dropped, but it gained its real cult status after being picked up and championed up by the likes of rampling, oakenfold et al who who fell in love it after hearing it played by the legendary dj afredo at ibizas amnesia club. instantly recognisable and supremely dancable, this is one of the true heavyweights of the balearic scene - and a must have for any serious record collection.

legendary sound research is at the fatidical release 13. label boss is only a fan of stevie wonders superstition so he stepped up and took care of 13 himself. the gets deep ep has the legendary 1979 orchestra delving more and more into deep house territory, featuring 3 tracks full of emotion and character. will hit hard!

it can be hard to pin down the elements that make up a citys signature sound, but when you hear it, you know it. and winston hazels new track, *break up*, is 100 per cent sheffield, from the boom and buzz of its bassline to the bitter-sweet choral hook that pierces it through the heart. not that this is a surprise.

label boss dj bone mans the controls for the 38th release on subject detroit, laying down a typically fierce, three pronged auditory attack. *what he said* tactfully yet forcefully treads the line between house and techno, cherry picking physiognomies from each side of that ever-blurring line and constructing something fresh but bristling with familiar subject detroit elegances. a favourite fixture from bones more recent dj sets, *i do* sees bubbling, arpeggiated chords simmer and swoop from foreground to background loosely as one solitary, remanipulated ticking hat keeps things in formation. watch out for the thunderous, doubled-up drum arrangement that crashes in to the picture out of nowhere! b side track *rhythm soul funk* is a genuine hard hitter and another that tiptoes between the old school and the nouveau.

best known for his collaborations with kanye west on two standout tracks from the groundbreaking yeezus album (send it up and black skinhead) as well as high profile remixes for lana del rey and depeche mode, paris-based dj/producer gesaffelsteins solo work reconnects hard techno to its pounding industrial roots

looking back at the on the prowl catalog one will notice the string of italian producers simoncino, nicholas, marvin & guy. otps love affair with italian producers continues with south italys nasty boy. with a half dozen eps already under his belt, he continues his forward march down the road of deeper house. his tracks tend to have a lovely melancholy with simple pads, and a vibe thats hard to ignore

ahead of the deliriously deep and rhythmically complex debut album >face to face (out in november on serialism), phillippe quenum aka quenum first displays his rich, dynamic and sometimes soulfully melancholic sound across a teaser ep featuring two album tracks plus a tough yet shimmering remix from the ever classy and timeless, cassy. lead track >face to face< pulses with raw, rumbling bass as hard claps accent an unfettered groove scattered with delicate sonic nuances and a powerful vocal sample. from peak time to sunrise, >5 am< is an ethereal electronic voyage, with softly woven beats, rippling synths and melodic keys.

finally a worthy follow-up to the devastating goldberg variations double pack on l/b. the mad russian brothers gancher & ruin bring the terror on the a-side and the goldberg variations strike back on the flip. hard!

acid diaper as he was descriped by the prspct crew earlier this year: there is quite some mystery surrounding this new producer. even us at prspct hq have no idea who he is and where he is from. he has chosen to keep his identity secret to the world. kind of like batman but instead of fighting bad people this vigilantes goal is to terrorize the world with pure audio violence. 4/4, acid, gabber dnb designed to torture the average mainstream music listener. however, us deranged individuals at prspct hq fucking love it and can assure you. his tunes rock out hard!

simian mobile disco are back with the second in a series of collaborations, following on from sacrifice, their joint effort with bicep. this time theyve joined forces with cosmin trg fresh from his highly acclaimed album gordian on 50 weapons. the fruits of this hard graft in the electronic kitchen of smds studio (to push the food metaphor to its limits) kick off with surstro¨mming. this northern swedish delicacy of tinned, fermented sour herring has the dubious claim to fame of being the most putrid smelling food substance in the world. the burbling, queasy synth tones reflect the effects of this scent on all but the true connoisseurs

second part of this two episode series on subnet records. following the same flavour as before... dark textures and mental synth lines driven together by hard drum patterns and groovy percussion. these two ep reflect the creepy and insane behaviour caused by experiments in the field of invisibility applied in the human being. all the tracks were recorded live! just using analog sequencers, mpc, analog mixer and synths. directly to a recording device. in the same way as you could record a live set, to keep all the vibe as fresh as possible. 220 copies limited vinyl release.

new perc trax sub-label hits hard with a re-release of matt whiteheads classic acid cut. regular pressing on black vinyl.

our favourite swedish house duo is back…more dirty than ever! the follow-up to the previous eps moody & trapped is nothing short of brilliant. waisted with its plucked strings is classic deep house held together by a bumpy groove, soulful vocals & slick keyboard but still maintaining the formula that defines dirtytwo and their finest work to date. talking 2 u is where dirtytwo gets deep down and gritty. chunky house chords, a meaty bassline, cut-up voice samples in full basement effect. flip over for the hard on edit of talking 2 u which goes one step further adding some acid lines and a raw basement feeling. a dub for those who seek a more raw and heavier tool. local talk is talking to you!

after time spent whipping up singles for moodmusic and my best friend amongst others, maurice aymard makes the leap to the long-player with a selection of jams that reflect his propensity for live instrumentation and thoroughly musical constructs within the disco-inflected realms of house music. as if metro area were played out by hand, tracks such as home groove hard on plush live bass lines, poignant rhodes chords and romantic lead synths. gui boratto turns up to chip in to colours & drops with its more prominent techy backbone, but that s offset by the non-dancefloor roll of 1994 . it s a diverse album that provides the perfect platform for a skilled craftsman to explore, er, his craft.

the sixth volume in our luv n haight edit series featuring 2 hard-hitting tracks from turner brothers is a throwback to the classic edits sound courtesy of sun sound records owner, edit master and renowned record collector paolo scotti. with several recent edits under his belt including classics by touch of class, joe thomas, and ultrafunk as well as a compilation of rare disco and soul from his sun sound records label imprint based in italy, the time was right to tap him as the next producer for our ongoing series of edits from the luv n haight catalog.

mike gill who has already featured on roots for bloom teams up with taymor zadeh to bring us the coppin a feel ep featuring a john dimas remix. the a side *coppin a feel* brings us hard hitting groove with a hypnotic vocal line carrying the track. loose percussion and bold tom drums really cement this to work on any dance floor. the b side cut *the message* is a more rolling groove with a strong rhodes line that features later on really making the track evolve. john dimas takes *the message* and takes the atmosphere up a notch, with slick cut up vocals. this one will work in the early hours.
