incl. rmxs by hugo & dragosh !! over the past few years the pair have been building a reputation on the leeds club circuit for their dj skills. their first forays in the studio saw them produce the single tongue , which once picked up on by lawler, went on to be a regular in his sets and a catalyst in his decision to get the guys aboard the good ship viva. their take on the jack ep, cemented that decision and the label head now gives them the chance to truly present themselves to the world with this debut release. opening track osasuna see s the duo create a wonderful percussive track. built around a deep sax melody that will have the floor grooving. superb drum programming, with lashings of bongo work, make this a perfect opener to the e.p. and one that will easily make its mark in the current, refreshing, house sound... who better to remix osasuna than lawler s most recently unearthed diamond, romanian dragosh. ..

dickie is no longer prepared to stand idly by watching the current team failing to live up to the high standard set by the great den haag team of 75, how he longs for the anthem that is fc den haag to be on every city radio station celebrating the feats of the current team. sadly though todayÆs team does not live up to dickieÆs expectations, so much so in fact that dickie brings us the anthem to try and induce self belief in the team, æfc den haag, we are the bestÆ, so upset is dickie that heÆs considering coming out of retirement and offering his services to the team. following the anthemic opener, morwyck blues resonates with the sadness that dickie feels on matters close to his heart, while the hague jam is the perfect track for driving from den haag to scheveningen (or anywhere) at 3am. full of his trade mark 808 beats, vocoded vocals and searing melodies, dickie has produced tracks suitable to be played loudly on the cassette player of every bmw as it cruises around the city streets at night, searching for young souls to be evangelised to the ways of the 808 beat.

it may have been fate that erphun s very first gig was on halloween, because his music is brooding, pounding, moody and transformative, as if from another realm entirely. his ability to build a mood is mesmerizing and transports the listener to that alternate spiritual level that his moniker infers. having spun around california with residencies for naked, flirt and hotel california and playing at 1015 folsom (san francisco), sevilla (las vegas), broadway (san diego), voodoo lounge (las vegas), risqu (las vegas, new year s eve 2004), and the shelbourne hotel (miami, winter music conference), erphun began to make his mark. erphun s music has been spun in clubs all over the world and is succinctly summed up by steve lawler as a deep, dark and underground unique sound that trademarks his pieces. with early releases on ingrooves, and ascension records followed by releases on viva music oliver klein s mutekki and audio therapy, his name is now instantly recognizable among the tech-house, minimal, techno world of spinning producers who globe trot his compositions to be dropped on every conceivable audience. the reaction of the listener to his slow, driving builds that weave between the almost symphonic-like movements of each of his pieces is always jaw dropping and is usually followed by an exclamatory siiiiiick! . erphun is also a highly sought after re-mixer for artists who want to hear the 4am version of their pieces. the only way to really experience this immense talent is to see him in action. a night of erphun s making heightens the listener s musical aesthetic and aurally illustrates his personal musical vision
