fresh again, silks favorite dunce-dance diva, maria minerva, tries on a new wardrobe with her bless ep. busting out with sweet n swingy single black magick, minerva caters her classic la-la lyrics about an occult/joke-cult romance over a new waif, schneider-esque pop-rock lobsta beat. space 4 u slips echo-drone vocal monologues over a laface-style rnb booty bumper, while symbol of my pleasure sneers with a walk this way funk lick, both reminding fans of minervas naughty/playful creep-creativities. rounding out the ep are soul searchin – a sleazy, down-tuned, junk-jungle comatose doser – and lady blacktonikas black magick garage trippin remix – a layer cake of luscious tush pushin and an ode to another sassy lady, miss kier herself. confidence is key, and this is maria minerva struttin,’ on and off key, through her newest collection of wand songs.

miles has been releasing material on modern love for a decade, first as one half of pendle coven, then on his own as mlz, and eventually pairing up with sean canty to record as demdike stare. in between he has also pursued more experimental terrain under the suum cuique moniker, produced jungle for the hate project and (together with andy stott) taken on the occasional release as millie & andrea for modern love sublabel daphne. he is also an admired, exhilarating dj, his sets have been known to span a broad spectrum of electronic music, from the obscure uk techno of labels like radioactive lamb and irdial, to classic chicago house, detroit techno and - most importantly - early 90s jungle and breakbeat, feeding into his love of the most uncompromising end of the italian experimental movement, musique concrète, synthwave and contemporary noise.

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.

nick anthony simoncino and mathematics deliver this stunning vinyl version of the full length featuring top quality house music not found on the cd release. includes the first part of ron trents jungle dream remix, a dream 2 science mix, and tracks trip to japan, saber, use me lose me.

the soft rocks collective feature twice on the upstart black rox label with two heavily tribal remixes for a so far unknown artist. the soft rocks take on *filaw* is wrapped in horns and jungle sounds - not too far off a 1970s brian jackson and gil scott heron collaboration. on the flip is a possible talking heads reference in *once in a life time*, which gathers mesmeric african drums and percussion, grooving in harmony to ritualistic chant. a mohican david byrne perhaps?

albinos has now been meaning to open communication channels with the baka pigmy tribe for quite some time, sadly to mixed results… this indeed represents a rather difficult task considering their take on the devil is a tall white man graced with white hair and red eyes! even though the baka people is a peaceful one, the legend goes that if they were to catch that albino devil, they would gut its organs out and turn those into an aphrodisiac concoction. strangely enough, albinos believes that his music just might be the best language to turn those antagonistic feelings into a communion, he even dreams of performing his tunes to the whole tribe, deep within the jungle, surrounded with exotic birds and the most hungry kind of predators! somewhat at times on the verge of irony, his music definitively trades with sketchy, raw and deep emotions, always sincere in the making: always a few steps away from the pre-shaped house and techno idioms, he offers his very own take on dance music, a most peculiar one. solely using old cheap hardware and an antique atari, the tracks at hand are one-take live performances, brutal incarnations of albinos simple virgin vision. as the quest for the baka people goes on, the antinote team is proud to help shed light on the journey of this obscure producer hailing from the grand north.

2012 was without doubt the breakthrough year for south london ordnance. in the space of twelve months the 23 year old artist put out three separate 12 inches alongside a five track ep, which garnered support from jamie xx, scuba, benji b, mary ann hobbes, mosca, claude vonstroke, richie hawtin and more. his jungle-advised, finely honed productions also rightly earned him notable mention in several annual end of year roundups including dj mags best of british 2012, xlr8rs 4th best new act of 2012 (alongside disclosure and karenn), and time out uks djs to watch in 2013. with this debut outing on hotflush recordings scheduled for march, 2013 is set to be yet another strong year for the young producer.

we never forget our roots here at idle hands. for people of a certain age the wild experiments of jungle and dnb remain close to our hearts. whilst scenes, sounds and trends may wax and wane that visceral feeling of chest rattling bass is something we hold on to. rhythmic theory is one producer who like us, never forgot. here we present two tunes deeply indebted to those times. it must be stated though, you will not find any amen breaks or ragga samples here, instead, this up and coming bristol producer transposes the atmospheres and deadly subs to a techno template. *legacy of the lost* and *riveted* follow on from two well received vinyl only release on brstl and his own self titled label. both tracks are immaculately crafted hardware jams that are designed solely with sound system use in mind.

if you ask the canadian producer and dj edward currelly aka eddie c to name you some things he havent done yet but always wanted he answers: visit greenland. Êsell 45s off the back of my motorcycle in jamaica. those who know the music of the former countryman that left the canadian nature to get inspired by the lively culture jungle of berlin get a winking smile on their lips.

fold cut his production teeth as one-half of the much lauded london deep house outfit homepark. his first solo release to date, this ep reflects folds extensive knowledge of house and feeling for the dancefloor. a-side slime perfectly fuses driving staccato percussion with classic deep house warmth. moving patterns is a more laidback affair combining soaring vocals with an irresistible bassline that harks back to the early days of jungle. the ep is a given a special twist by an unforgettable technofied remix of slime from fellow londoner ethyl.

vinyl only... special request returns with the third vital 12 inch in this series based on capturing the spontaneous rugged energy of uk pirate radio and re-wiring this into chaotic dancefloor moments. maintaining all the illicit qualities of the best hardcore/jungle blueprints but reloading them with a contemporary approach, there is an attention to detail and touch here that makes these recordings far from revisionist. on the third stamped release, special request tackles the voice of one of this years most talked about artists, laying down a deadly amen break and killer hoover bassline for a sub 130 bpm dnb track that is simply explosive. on the flip is the even tougher vip mix that doubles up as a dub. limited hand-stamped, vinyl only release

a shift from monochrome to full colour sleeves signifies the start of a new phase for space cadets. the chambers of apogee ep comes from anonymous debutant lyterian, an exclusive signing to space cadets. masterfully employing the hypnotically dark rhythms of mid-90s jungle and applying them to a contemporary d&b framework ... the real question is just who is lyterian?
original sleeve artwork is once again contributed by us illustrator theo ellsworth. all vinyl pressed to extra heavy 180g acetate.

>blurry< runs at 133bpm allowing it to sit neatly between dubstep tempo and the increasingly popular 125-130 bpm bass / house scene that has been developing in the uk over the last couple of years. taking things down an ongy-bongy path, this rhythm provides the soundtrack to a hunter chasing his prey through a humid jungle landscape, with fast weaving beats charged heavy by the deadly subs. the heat is on.
>spearhead< sees roska making a rare 140bpm trip, taking this rhythmical excursion neatly into dubstep tempo territory, creating an original cut which sits in its own world of tribal grime. the bassline pounds heavy, eventually rising upward before suddenly plummeting back down to the murky depths from where it came, and back round again. dis-hyeer quality dubstep music produced pon the other side of the looking glass.

with influences ranging from breakcore and jungle to techno and electronica, their sound is just as far-reaching with organic sample-based productions and synthetic, processed electronic beats. lakkers torann ep, their second release for blueprint, kick-starts with the dappling beats of summer rains, before moving onto the more experimental mustard crying. ciar takes us back to the dancefloor with ominous undertones, while static & amp is a simple but effective exercise. finally the diminutive but meticulous one note caps the ep off in fine lakker style.

chairlift present takes on several cuts from acclaimed second album >something< by some of their favorite producers, showcasing how their songs can easily be adapted for the club. appropriately titled the 6.15amix, spanish equipo fantástico john talabot and pional turn >i belong in your arms< into a balearica-infused club-closer. a nifty piano line and seductive rhythm take the song on a late night (or rather early morning) trip to the beach, while carolines voice is being warped into something from outer space. photek takes the same track to a whole different place with his powerful jungle interpretation. martyn respects both the pace and rhythm of sidewalk safari, yet exchanges the clean production for a rather more cosmic beat, incorporating many of his signature touches to compliment the sinister >i m gonna hunt you down< lyric. dan careys dub mix of >sidewalk safari< shows a more playful side, while arguably the most intriguing remix of the package is the fields take on >met before<, recalling his early work it is so warped and layered you may struggle to imagine the original minus the smallest of hints.

new slightly off season various artist release! the label say: >after last years summer special in the winter it looks like the calendar at wphs hq is up to par again! luckily so is the music, as this edition of the summer special series focuses on three tracks that were about to get lost in the ever-growing jungle of digital only releases. but like a true dr livingstone red d set out to find these babies a home on vinyl, so here we are!<

tip! a fresh 12 minute musical journey, a collage of organic sounds, melodies and pads which transport us to a world poised between the visionary and the dreamlike: inspired by the magical village deep in the jungle of the mexican sierra madre. ethereal atmospheres laid down on a bass line with a dub flavour that wraps around warm and essential groove ... for us its a little gem with which to inaugurate a new cycle. e n d l e s s.

after storming onto the scene in 2008, in four short years harvest has received support from the likes of andy c, dj hype, hazard, taxman, twisted individual, marky and heist. using his musical background as a foundation, the birmingham based producer has gone on to produce jump up, jungle, liquid and dark minimal - earning him recognition from all aspects in the scene.

next up on crosstown rebels comes the second outing for british institution matthew bushwacka b under new guise just be. the annabelle release is a rumbling jungle of percussion, from moody and deep to down right stormy, these are high-octane cuts that deserve a cave rave soundsystem.

with releases as rare as a week of sunshine in london, and a profile that makes burial look press hungry, it is with great pleasure we give you joes first tracks of 2012. two wickedly sleazy and satisfyingly peculiar tunes that as you would expect, completely defy categorisation.
mb - a loopy, sleazy, slo-mo roller with the slinkiest guitar lick riding a big-boned bassline. as with all of joes tunes, a little = a lot.
studio power on - the sounds of 94 jungle smashed to bits, thrown around a studio and taped back together for 2012.

michael ozone, the character whos just dropped his debut offering for the esp institute this july, is back with a remixed version of his jungle-tuff >perfect systems ep<. on side a, steve summers (a name thats been up in your face over the last year, and one of the key figures in our cousins l.i.e.s. camp) has taken perfect systems for an imperfect ride, jacking it up as expected while keeping the somewhat sinister mood of the original. on the flip, young marco (who has become quite a resident at the esp institute) strips down hetrotopia to its core, letting you realize how a well-programmed track can maintain its melodic and hypnotic sense, even when all thats left is percussion.

the remix combines grimey synths with a jungle bassline, never losing touch to the atmosphere and the awesome vocals of the original. amazing epic vibes!

fresh off the back of his debut ep for phantasy which won support from the likes of the chemical brothers, tiga, damian lazarus, andrew weatherall, gesaffelstien, jackmaster, smd, heidi and many more, phantasy proudly presents paul woolfords special request remix of taste. a thundering rough and ready approach to the original track, twisting it into something which would resemble kraftwerk had they spent their formative years overdosing on jungle.

the original soundtrack for quentin tarantino’s timeless masterpiece from 1994 re-issued on 180 grams vinyl.

here is the new chateau flight track,called kounka. afro?techno?jungle house? a trippy journey thru sound fx, sub bass,and dirty snares. already supported by dixon, trevor jackson, ame among others... for the remix job we asked steve moore (half of zombi and several 12 inch on kompakt, permanent vacation and the super cool label from ny l.i.e.s.). for our enjoyment, steve delivered 2 versions in his typical multi-layered electronic sounds. one is for the club, and a slow version in a kosmich fashion

2 tracks of deep techno inspired house from 17 yr old music enthusiast alfie. born in the village of oxted, home to a number of electronic dignitaries, alfie has been raised on a balanced diet of garage, dubstep, jungle, dnb, and hip hop which he has further infused with his personal love for old school ska and jazz. taking key elements from each of these styles alfies music is deftly relevant in your ear and on the floor. lead track uncomfortably numb is a high energy throbbing slice of techno laced deep house, with a reverberating bassline driving an almost industrial main hook, whilst layers of clinical percussion and pads snap and swirl throughout the mix. about midday punches through the enveloping gloom with an inescapable rave inspired main hook which intensifies the tracks pulsating wall of manufactured sounds. having already played at fabric aged 16 and with a number of shows pencilled for 2012, including his glade debut and eastern electrics festival, this double a-side is set to eclipse the work of a number of his more senior peers.

australian michael ozone, currently operating out of melbourne, is an artist embodying the purest form of absurdist energy. this debut offering, is but of a fraction of the entertainment we can expect as his career zig-zags forward. perfect systems is a tuff native track based on the idea of man-made tools, technology and borrowed languages. imagine failed cities overtaken by jungle life as youre swallowed by this utopian island groove. a not-so distant relative on side-b,hetrotopia leads us on a nomadic journey, exploring vast new landscapes and uncharted territories. references to new beat and horror soundtracks are apparent, but no matter what fantasies we infer from ozones music, his talent for crafting such fiction is a welcome addition to the esp institute.

we are proud to finally present to you: the original concept brought to life by hellfish & producer way back in 2001 has received a 4 way upgrade from 4 of the uks top hardcore artists ... hellfish / producer / matt green / bryan fury.

viennas disko404 organisation are launching their very own label with a split ep by sun people and franjazzco. while the latter is one of the most passionate players in viennas underground music scene, sun people aka simon/off has already stirred international attention with releases on renowned labels such as immerse records or phuture shock musik. for this release franjazzco combined his enthusiasm for jazz, soul and disco with a weighty footwork / juke kit, resulting in three deadly 160bpm anthems.
on the flipside sun people deployed a more uk-influenced style with references to 90s jungle and uk garage … imagine tek9 meets duncan powell meets dj spinn.
the ep is already receiving support from dj rashad, distal, dj clent, rp boo, soulphiction and others, and is just the first of many floor-dominator releases lined up by disko404. super-limited run of 250 copies only.

walking a strange line between the asylum and the dancefloor, welcome bob chance. yes, this is an album like no other. but then again bob chance isnt like anyone else. put together in 1980, >it s broken< represents bobs creative juices flowing and then possibly overflowing all over the place.

part 2 of 4 with edits and overdubs by joaquin joe claussell.

this is the debut vinyl release from up & coming producer jim morton. the 12 inch presents two different flavours of the jungle sound. the a side is nyc-dub, a heavy duty track with plenty of pace and energy. an atmospheric vibe is present but the production still carries enough weight with the beats and sub to work the dance floor. think ray keith meets breakage!
on side b, >underwater chord< is again a jungle bass tune but on a different vibe. it is a brighter sounding track, due to the chords and sounds used, which wouldnt be out of place in a liquid style production. with both tracks there is a tip of the cap towards the old skool sound.

with the beautiful melodic sensibility of borais synth lines meshing with octobers jacking body beats, they fuse to create 2 sublime slices of warm, deep, but propulsive blends of slo-mo house, techno, & bass. >i didnt mean to< has a detroit techno soul feel with bukem style bass stabs and rainforest jungle ambient noises, whilst >palmarosa< is a sure-fire set starter, taking its time to build with cavernous bass stabs adding drama until the heads down jacking ensues.

yoruba records proudly present the return of afefe iku. returning after a four year hiatus with is his first release since his 2008 debut album and smash hit mirror dance, here we have a four song ep entitled the blues. with his eclectic force and sound, afefe brings us another chapter in his developing story. the blues gives us the dark edge of deeper techno, whereas the arsonist is an in your face mid tempo head banger featuring osunlade on vocals. dakountdown and jungle beats stand alone in style and approach as a throwback to the days when house was simply just house, without the multitude of todays dance genres. yoruba pray that you embrace the next wave of sound from the mind of the man who brought you the classic artifacts of pottery vessels

fresh out of melbournes reputed house scene, the tortoise is one of the hottest talents to emerge from the current wave of house breaking down under. a side the puffing tortoise captures the 21-year-olds precocious talent and aims it squarely at the peak time. working his trademark airy vocals around a familiar disco refrain and bubbling bass, he works the track into a sweaty climax and skilfully keeps it there throughout the midsection. turning in a late night chugger on their remix, berlin based canadians the mole and hreno ride an insistent pulse and insect like percussion. twisting the samples, they guide the track into a dark jungle of chattering sounds to temper the tortoise youthful exuberance. the analogue melancholy of keep on keepin on is all in the sweeping synths and twinkling effects. recoiling the tension, the chicago influenced track seeps through the speakers and will sound as good at home as it will during specially chosen dancefloor moments. rondenion approaches the title track with fearless disregard for the original, combining the swelling tortoise sound with something entirely his own. his addition of a funk fuelled midsection, really breaks the track down and adds another slice of character to an ep already brimming with it.

this is the tenth volume in the impressive love, peace & poetry compilation series.

200 ever made. hand made unique covers wrapped, in cellophane envelopes. pressure lost: a sci-fi novel in eight chapters about loss of pressure. in a part of the world where there are no rules, deep in the jungle where nothing that lives is safe, a mysterious artifact has been uncovered. nothing like it has ever been on earth before. it comes from the future, the thing that wont die, in the nightmare that wont end. your future is in his hands. once you go in, you dont come out... nature won is the collaborative project of rasmus mobius and morten bang larsen. rasmus mobius has previously released two albums, as half of melk in 2005, and his solo effort >medicine walk< from 2006, both on statler & waldorf. on this new full-length, morten and rasmus has crafted a new sound, like a tv tuned into a dead channel and the rainbow reflection of a laserdisc.
