the first collaboration from seasoned chicago electronic artists k-rad (chris grabowski) and opcode66 (todd mariana), kno-001 is a deep and techy ride through space and sound. *from dark to light* offers a tasteful, musical journey geared toward experienced listeners and late night party people. reminiscent of watching the night sky transform into sunrise, *from dark to light* captures and explores this glorious experience. with simple, driving bass, an edgy monosynth riff and well-crafted sounds, strings help carry the piece through its musical transition as it builds and ends with great energy. *dream about* subtly addresses concepts of isolation and futility as realities. listeners may contemplate the relationship between reality and dreams (and the necessary functions of each) while immersed in slowly-evolving melodies. with many incidental sounds worked into the fabric of the piece, simple and satisfying percussion, and lush effects trails, *dream about* playfully and defiantly transfigures reality into something dream-like.

is / was is incredibly proud to introduce the enigmatic, insanely gifted, man-of-many-vibes himself, teakup. hailing from ohio, our man is yet another in a long lineage of shut-in freak-beat enthusiasts from the humble state. with a style referencing the melodic funk and swing of titonton duvante and the broken, advanced-beat wizardry of archetype, teakup steps into this proud heritage with a 4 tracker of various vibes sure to sate even the most discerning of dweebs. “lose my mind” is of the swung and jacking nü haus variety popularized by the will & ink lads. “shimmer” soothes with soft pads and throbbing bass while simultaneously spanking you upside the head with cracking snares and corrosive claps. “darkcore 2020” indulges in sci-fi breakbeat antics, earning the much sought-after status of “banger”. lastly, “i don’t fkn kno” slinks along in the timeless tradition of low-slung n’ swung house groovers. welcome to the sound of teakup.

the mysterious, internet-bother 70s network finally sees the light of wax. five killer raw af house cuts mixed to the nines and scorched to eleven. crunchy, swung vibes for the youtube channel rippers and underground misfits. instagram fashion & tumblr social movements all rolled into one. u kno the way.

following the success of its first release by the ever elusive jason grove, the vinyl-only sub-label skylax extra series returns with a little something beyond special. for those house-heads in the know, the man needs no introduction, but for those uninitiated, sit back and prepare for this double 12” selection to further your education in house music.joey kay hails from chicago in the us and has influenced a great many producers in the last two decades with his signature take on the deep house sound. he keeps things simple in the best possible sense of the word, stripping back tracks to their bare essentials in order to maintain what the spirit of house music is all about: the groove, the soul and the feeling of being carefree, even if only experienced for a few minutes at a time. there are no superfluous or ancillary sounds in joey’s music and this is all the more evident when taking a step back and listening to his spectrum of output in this collection, which spans more than twenty years of his career.
