we held back on the big boys until the new year.. but now the lobster theremin logo tees are finally here! that cheeky hand and lobster scribbled by the hand of asquith and now screen-printed on a mighty fine climate-neutral 100% cotton tee in great fits. watch out for hella peeps wearing these down corsica studios, dance tunnel or on the backs of the lt crew on daze s eu tour this spring. only the best rep.

sounding quite like nothing you have heard before, the excelsiors come correct with their debut album, control this. the latest project from shane ‘sureshot’ hunt, known for his sharpshooters group, and for his highly-regarded soundbwoy reggae breaks series wherein he has liberally dropped science, sharing his in-depth knowledge of ska, rock-steady, reggae and dancehall for the instruction of the hip-hop massive, the excelsiors is the logical extension of shanes passion for classic jamaican music (and more) of the 60s through 80s.

nail provides the lead track for fofs latest vinyl only excursion - originally produced in the same time period as the classic tracks on the ode rammel reissue ep earlier in the year, glazed lay dormant on one of nails dats for many years before being rediscovered and given its first airing now on fof. chunky roughed up house beats are the order of the day here, a real peak time groove. new talent harry mccanna, resident at londons infamous undersound nights, debuts with act 1, a beautifully subtle bassline driven groove that rises above the pack with its super warm pad lending the track a warm and fuzzy hypnotic edge. romanian talent zece kicks off the flipside with the most contemporary offering, a breakbeat laden groove with a fx laden vocal snatch underpinned by that all important b-line whilst sonodab rounds things off with a beautifully deep and melodic slice of electro on brown study, the percussive elements giving rise to a hazy melodic pattern for those early hour excursions.

yet another classic master reese production from the vaults. this time from way back in 1991. -speaker punishing- was a stone cold detroit killer that crossed over here in the uk and european rave scenes due to it s break-beat laden hardcore appeal, string quartet samples and incessant bass-line while it s flip-side -feel the mood- carries that after hours detroit vibe over two different mixes (ably mixed by the legendary marty bonds) and still sounds amazingly fresh and current today some 20+ years later. both tracks are essential weapons to have in one s dj bag and display what a versatile producer kevin saunderson is with two totally different energies sharing the same slab of wax. re-mastered, re-pressed and re-released for 2015 with all original incognito label artwork with the full consent of kevin -master reese- saunderson, detroit mi. essential!

following the huge success of dlm 004 and the massive appeal of roman flugels remix of idle eyes (as charted by all from dixon to michael mayer, dan avery to maceo plex), here is a little surprise from our camp. glockd is c.a.rs trademark washed out sarcasm, bleached cynicism, the track forages paths through chloes dark mind. it was one of the first tracks she wrote on her own, and was recorded down the bunker with timothy j fairplay. a favourite of andrew weatherall (who nominated my friend, the c.a.r album, as one of the best releases of 2014), it is now coming full-circle, being given a stomping shuffle air guitar dance-floor rework by the asphodells … if you liked our lord sabres remix of fuck buttons this is for you. electronics looking at the floor & air guitar. following it is manfredas (the protégé of les disques de la mort) vocal version of angelina, a request from many after the instrumental being released earlier this year. the northern wulf is biting again. and he bites hard.
