since 2015, james welshs contribution to phantasy as kamera has delivered a series of releases shrouded in mystery, injected with the personal energy of both a hardcore and club heritage. two eps, arc and ventoux, set a distinct tone, with the latter complimented by head-turning remixes from artists such as george fitzgerald, throwing snow, truncate and yaleesa hall. now, the key phantasy artist emerges from the shadows under his own name, in order to continue his uncompromising musical journey. returning with a new, two-track ep, standing/slip captures the finely tuned tension and euphoric release of welshs sound in arguably its strongest form to date, showcasing not only the dancefloor mettle firmly established under his prior alias, but a new sense of wistfulness that coaxes his typically outstanding machine work into altogether more reflective territory. standing throws listeners headlong into welshs formerly anonymous industrial complex, generating a churning, relentless rhythm offset with a dry female vocal that recalls the sardonic stance of vintage electroclash. following this, slip is an initially unexpectedly spectral diversion, transmitting a curious synth line into space, and receiving a choral, sombre frequency in return. without losing its emotive qualities, the track succumbs to a hailstorm of welsh’s sharp, potent drums, before collapsing in understated catharsis.

after 10 years of pushing the envelope of bass music, leeds based j.sparrow launches his own record label navy cut. navy cut promises to explore new territory in sound system music by focusing on quality releases by some of the worlds talented producers. nc001 introduces a new project between leo james (ruckspin, author, submotion orchestra) and ed gooden (quark). speak back the a side is very reminiscent of early rhythm and sound featuring shanee pink on vocals. the b side ventures into a more sound system style steppas affair featuring moody guitar by ed gooden. to finish off this debut release egoless one of croatia s finest exports completely flips the a side with a lively remix. future releases by navy cut will feature music by j.sparrow, author, rwild and guests.

incl. manik & hot since 82 rmxschris james, 50 % of one of the fastest rising artists of 2011, coat of arms, presents his first off ep. and theyear might be young, but we predict this will be one of our highlights for 2012. nothing else matters is a massivepeaktime anthem. cutting-edge production, a massive bassline, anthemic vocals. the remix by hot since 82 transforms the original into an even darker affair, adding spooky synth pads and a slightly techier groove. for on & on james takes similar ingredients as for nothing else matters - killer bass, irresistible vocal, massive production- but cooks up a slightly deeper track, perfect to be enjoyed at the earlier or later hours of the night. man of the moment manik nyc delivers a massive remix for on & on, adding a subsonic garage-ish bassline, eerie synth stabs,little acid licks and jacking rimshots.

“yuxtaposición” is a recently unearthed treasure recorded by a tight italian trio in miami during the early seventies. until now, this music has only been heard in office backgrounds, tv commercials and movie soundtracks. but the perseverance of an admirer brought about its first-ever release on the italian schema label. imagine hearing a 1972-era cal tjader quartet without cal tjader and you get an idea of what to expect. it’s slightly latin, lightly funky and truly enjoyable. “yuxtaposición” offers enough to interest a jazz listener. but the sounds heard in these 35 minutes are really better appreciated as mood music. lead man, cabildo, composer of all ten tunes here, has a knack for writing jazzy little hooks that launch his tasty, well-crafted keyboard solos. often alternating fender rhodes and piano within the same song, his playing maintains a hypnotic command that recalls bob james’ cti style. electric bassist bobby fares and percussionist max ronnie make subtle, supportive contributions that serve only to enhance cabildo’s sound. there’s a funny thing about yuxtaposición too. it’s kind of like developing an addiction. you may not pay much attention to it at first. but before you know it, you’re hooked. you need to hear it to be satisfied. a very nice surprise.

2018 repress - the follow up to one/three. tip! james t cotton / tadd mullinx teams up with a wide range of mc s (wildchild, mf doom, kadence, vast aire, ag, beans, invincible. ta raach, big tone, phat kat..) and producers (waajeed, jay dee) to support his hi-tech productions. the result in this killer album with a wide variety of productions, from deep headnoddin cuts to crazy offbeat work and deep kraftwerk inspired instrumentals. where hiphop meets techno.

1997. drexciya dont have no phone. theyre too busy to do your remix. mad mikes response was short and to the point, enough to put off some, but not vincent koreman. addicted from an early age, the dutch producer dug deeper and deeper into the mythology and mystery of james stinson and gerald donald. the sounds, images and ideas conjured up by the detroit electro duo pulled koreman in, his fascination growing ever more intense as the underwater dwellers sonically prospered. fast forward twenty years and that fascination has not diluted one drop, in fact the aquatic dream of the wavejumpers is the inspiration for recolonization. these tracks would have never had existed, says koreman, if it wasnt for stinson and donald creating that great, energetic, abstract electronic music and coupled it with an original vision on the african diaspora, art and culture. this music is an homage to th e enigma of drexciya, a tribute to the machine marine men who pioneered electro and a vision. drvg cvltvre continues that vision, one of an underwater race that has reconquered earth, overcoming big business, corporate greed and water pollution to reclaim the surface from man. forget mankind. our time is over, recolonization is here.

here at quantize we simply love confounding expectations cos, guess what? we love all kinds of music and don t like to be stereotyped. but this one even surprised the hell out of us so much so that we figured it deserved a 7inch vinyl release in tribute to the original format. think (about it) was originally recorded 45 years ago in the summer of 1972 by the fiery lyn collins. produced by the godfather of soul, james brown, it barely scraped into the rnb top 10 at the time and normally would have faded into time as just another great james brown produced record but in 1987, it started to get sampled by a new generation of hip-hop artists like roxanne shante and robe base and dj e-z rock. suddenly the world woke up to the possibilities of sampling and since that point, think (about it) has been sampled 1908 times and is the no.3 most-sampled record of all time. so we decided to cut a new version of it with real musicians and one of the few vocalists that would be capable of matching lyn collins firepower - dance music s diva supreme, the incredible barbara tucker. we wanted barbara to really cut loose on this and she didn t disappoint. and yes, those are real keyboards, real guitar and real horns. believe us, this session was off the scale! so when we finally got our breath back we decided we had to get this out on a 45 on its 45th anniversary! it seemed the most appropriate way to do justice to a record that simply jumps outta the grooves. we believe think (about it) will have universal appeal pretty much everywhere since the song is now implanted within the dna of dance music across the world.

aus großen melodien und strapazierfähigen elektronischen teppichen gestrickt, ist -love what survives- gewissermaßen die essenz ihres bisherigen schaffens, indem verschiedene gesangsgäste und musikerpersönlichkeiten (james blake, micachu, king krule) hinzukommen, um gemeinsam zu experimentieren, formen neu zu denken, dinge auszuradieren, mit pop-Überlieferungen zu spielen, alles zusammen wachsen zu lassen. die neuen tracks enstanden größtenteils auf zwei vintage-synthesizern (korg ms-20, korg delta), die beide, so die band, diese -punkige, schloddrige qualität hätten, die an robert wyatt erinnert-, die mit ihrem industrial-einschlag und dem unverkennbar direkten sound mount kimbie zu ihrem neuesten sound-update bewegen sollten. der pulsierende motorik-beat der single -blue train lines- zum beispiel schickt king krule direkt auf die Überholspur, von wo aus er seine zerklüfteten vokalsalven abgeben kann. die offene, ausladende aura der platte ist ferner der tatsache geschuldet, dass sie zwischen london und los angeles entstanden ist, zwei standorten, zwischen denen das duo pendelte, um gemeinsame sessions zu veranstalten und ideen zu verfeinern.

bristol based arkist has always been a versatile producer and as a result has an impressive rage of releases under his belt, with revered imprints such as hotflush and hypercolour. recently he has been experimenting further in the studio and is ready to present his first 12inch in few years, under a brand new alias - astrocat. in this debut, self-titled ep it is instantly apparent that vocoder-infused funk and disco of the highest order can be expected from this new astrocat guise. the ep is full of vintage talk box vocals, warm spacey chords and infectious basslines that bring classic records from the likes of zapp and the rah band into mind. with 5 tracks this ep has a lot to offer. wether it be the raw, funked up james of the opener small talk and title track astrocat or the more chilled, woozy grooves of nightflare . with features from mr woodnote and a dub remix from appleblim this ep s roots sit firmly in the south west. local legend dj die even lent his vocoder to the studio for some of the recordings.

over the past six years, dimensions has become a leading name in the underground, with its festival, international series, dj directory and dimensions soundsystem. now, dimensions extends its influence with the start of its label - dimensions recordings. the label launches with a 12-track compilation across three separate discs. ‘an introduction’ makes a huge statement in setting out the label’s intent and breadth. with artists established and new stepping up to present 12 exclusive tracks. * an introduction part 1 calls upon artists from different corners of the globe who share the similarity of undeniable soul and expression in their music. the ep has an earthy, worldly feel to it. from the swahili sung harmonies on mim suleiman’s ‘pole pole’, to the afro influences of swiss collective alma negra’s ‘onga’, both tracks work raw percussion with just enough swing that either would sit comfortably within latenight uk dance floors or on the sun-kissed beaches of pula, croatia – dimensions festival’s home. then there’s the jazz-tinted glow of istanbul’s kerem akdag whose ‘getdownsoclose’ deep roller makes use of lush pads and rushing snares. closing is maryland’s james tillman, who’s soulful vocals on ‘wander’ sit gracefully over transcendental keys and compellingly loose drumming, rounding off part 1 with a dose of the soul.

as part of madhouse records milestone twenty five years in the business the label will be offering up a selection of projects over the next year, ranging from vinyl reissues, events, new releases on madhouse and its madtech sub-label, merchandise and more. here we see the imprint revisit some of its biggest hitters since its inception, delivering a selection of recent output from the like of t williams and james jacob, opolopo and roog and dennis quinn while revisiting one of label-founder kerri chandlers most loved records on the label. up first is roog & dennis quinn feat. berget lewis igohart which saw support from the likes of sante & sidney charles, shadow child and maya jane coles with its raw swing, gritty stab sequences and soaring vocals. the dub mix of opolopos lowlife follows and add a playful bounce to things via wandering organ hooks, spiralling vocals and an infectious musicality with its warm string and bright piano chords. t.williams and james jacob then head back to more direct dance floor vibes with the piano-laden together fuelled by weighty 909’s, string samples and smooth chords before kerris kaoz 6:23 mix of lafayettes better late than never gets a 2017 remaster, bringing even more shine to the soul infused new jersey house classic.

brainwaltzera debuts on film. the anonymous producer, whose work has has already received online approval from legendary british idm auteur aphex twin, offers up an extended ep for the berlin based imprint. in 2015 a soundcloud profile under the name user18081971 - now identified as belonging to richard d. james, commented on curious brainwaltzera upload quilat spring 1 outtake. the move prompted speculation as to who exactly is behind the music. exquisitely produced and executed in such fine fashion so as to decry pure imitation - there’s plenty to theorise here. regardless of their true creator - which will undoubtedly remain a secret for the time being, the compositions on film006 are of similarly high calibre. varied in approach and marrying both electronic & acoustic elements with ease, the six tracks that comprise the record range from yearning ambient segues and dreamy down tempo grooves to otherworldly krautrock and more direct, dance floor fare - but remain bound tight as a cohesive and functional body of work by a glorious, arcane musicality. whether weaving soft electronic tones in and amongst snappy breaks or detuned drum-machine strikes, the artist’s ear for acoustic harmony is perhaps the pervading theme across the six tracks that make up the aecoba ep, marking it out as an excellent addition to the film labels growing catalogue

two floor-smashing highlights from the gnarliest corner of the spectral sound library get a welcome reissue on the first limited addendum 12” to the dope jams nyc volume 1: 2005-2012 compilation. first up is futuristic acid banger “poison dart” by 2 am/fm, the double-headed beast of ann arbor’s d’marc cantu and james t. cotton. beginning with an eerie synth coiling endlessly around a shuffling, anxious beat, the track unexpectedly blasts off with one of the nastiest acid basslines since “washing machine.” commanding, otherworldly, and freaky to the core. on the flip, cotton flies solo and tosses listeners headfirst into his chaotic and terrifying “bizarre carnival.” pounding kicks, blown-out bass and frenzied synths relentlessly collide with one another, creating an endless nightmare of a world on the verge of machine-induced annihilation.

lynn williams may not be someone you have heard of but her pedigree is strong. her father was hank ballard (of king and james brown fame) and her mother was 60s miami radio personality and dance group leader vanilla miss boom boom williams. lynn cut 5 excellent 7inches for various henry stone owned miami labels in the 70s here we present her two most collectable. the first it takes two is a smokey deepfunk killer. on the flip dont be surprised is one of miamis best ever deep soul records period, a dark serious ballad pulled off with amazing emotion considering her young years at the time of recording.
