ltd to 200 copies! tonkind is coming up with a release of head and founder edgar peng, who worked here rather more on a tool, as you could find it back in the 90ies classified as detroit sound. now >lahars< and >surges< suppose to be a paraphrase of this origin sound. discomposure, harshness and yet a sweet tingling tension is running throughout the tracks. repetitive grooves with a touch of polyrhythmic and bumpy rough surfaces are creating an atmosphere of infinity. once you have closed the eyes and the rhythm is riding your skin, you might feel a certain vibe, followed by a vision of bellevilles backyards.

this is the sound of the future four. led by andy meecham, the brains behind the emperor machine, bizarre inc and chicken lips amongst many others, and captures the excitement, diversity, strangeness and harmony of the uk underground sound of the early 90s. we are talking about the sparse dub mix on side 2 of the 12 inch single, machines making mistakes and changing the course of history, the dark side of the rave away from the neon and the white gloves, future four points the way to the dimly lit corner of the dancefloor and makes you move. after a recent discovery of boxes of old s950 and mpc60 floppy discs full of sound sets dating back to the early 90s, all three tracks have been produced solely on the mpc 3000 in staffordshire, and in perfect unison of north and south, mixed by erol alkan in london.

demdike stare return to the lab with two extended new productions, inaugurating a series of untamed releases brought together under the testpressing banner. collision was recorded in late 2012 and is pretty much unlike anything you will have heard from demdike before, an intense high-frequency re-arrangement of jungle and noise, like a more brutal variant of the demdike-affiliated hate project, fed through a bank of analogue boxes and pedals, left to spin uncontrollably for 10 minutes before fading to black. misappropriation on the flip feeds off a different noise altogether, perched precariously between the mangled percussion you would most commonly associate with muslimgauze and the metallic clank of industry, a proper sunstroke riddim: angry and unforgiving.

between the two of them, jenifa mayanja and lola (aka dakini9) have over 20 years experience in nycs electronic music community. here, they have combined forces for the first time to launch a new label and music collective: sound warrior. jenifa & lola envision sound warrior as a forum for developing and promoting women electronic music producers. based on their own, and the combined wisdom of other women in the scene, jenifa & lola decided to create this platform as a community for women electronic music artists, and hope to grow the idea into far beyond a record label. starting things off with a split 12 inch, jen and lola deliver two distinct takes on percussion-heavy, ritualistic deep house.
