repress - immortal technique, the most radical revolutionary rap lyricist to hit wax, combines with green lantern and a gang of like-minded mcs to produce the 3rd world, a furious mixtape which is perhaps immortal techniques best work to date. the title track is a compelling summary of all the harlem rapper has proclaimed in his past verses, as he reworks jay-zs *where i m from* into a scathing diagnosis of the state of the world in the 21st century. tech also breaks down the power structures behind nyc gentrification on *harlem renaissance*, deconstructs accepted understandings of pimp on *reverse pimpology*, and examines corporate privatization on *open your eyes*. violent, angry, and unabashedly challenging, the 3rd world is everything hardcore hip-hop should be.

ltd nice price deal - culprit favourite and nyc wonder m a n i k returns with his second release for the label with >she watches me<, featuring a choice remix from the revenge.
few producers in underground dance music have had as prolifically dense an output as chris manik (m a n i k) over the last two years. he joins the-likes-of maya jane coles, maceo plex and subb-an, as an artist who seem to have unnerving quality control, making every one of their tracks count. no wonder then, that culprit was delighted for m a n i k to return for his second record on the label, and his first full original release since the acclaimed lp for ovum earlier this year. culprit scored another coup when m a n i k, who prefers for his original music to stand alone, agreed to have >she watches me< be remixed. the legendary graeme clark aka the revenge was a fitting choice for this rare occasion.

for naive’s fourth release, we present a tale of “devotion” by octo octa (maya bouldry-morrison) and eris drew.

it was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now – anthony burgess, a clockwork orange after their lps “ike yard” (also known as “a fact a second” factory america, 1982) and nord (phisteria and desire, 2010) ike yard delivers their last album “rejoy” on noiztank, 2018 as the culmination of their recent years reinvented sound. as the perpetual flag bearers of the cutting-edge post-punk spirit, the nyc- based band shows muscle in a lp fully loaded with abrasive synth pads, scrap metal percussions, and whispered vocals. following the previous criteria of “sacred machine” 2017, it is worth to remark the inclusion of external vocals in the pieces “sister m” and “beyondersay”, which feature yuki osaki and maya. the nine tracks move through different atmospheres, tensions and moods that would perfectly represent a new contemporary soundtrack of the s. kubrick film “a clockwork orange”, a major influence and source of inspiration for the group this time around.

with the summer season well and truly in full step, mosaic returns with two finely tuned cuts of classic dubbed-out minimalism. a side in the night is a typically understated affair from label boss steve o sullivan under his wise caucasian alias. propelled by a bass-heavy tone and lit by layers of percussion that build on each other you ll find yourself getting lost in the washes of sparse vocals, rhythmic stabs and splashes of delay that reach out over the dance floor. far from providing instant gratification, this requires timely and repeated play to uncover the layers of subtle finesse and craftsmanship: perfect for keeping those feet moving at any hour of the night, or day for that matter. on the b side, steve teams up once again with fellow londoner, frazer campbell on rise which goes straight for the full smile effect as the duo conjure up one of those rare pieces of magic. set to a melee of skippy percussion, high-pitched toms and warmly toned melody, the prophetic voice of maya angelou and her timeless poem still i rise resonates supreme, bringing a touch of thoughtful intelligence thats all too often forgotten. as the track hits it peak, you cant help but feel the deep elation a groove like this brings in the darkest of hours.

thoma bulwer returns with jandaze , his latest ep via parasol culture featuring long-time partner in crime anna wall. it follows parasol 001 their first joint vinyl release, that sold out on the shelves gaining support from the likes of mood ii swing and cab drivers plus on the airwaves via nts. their jandaze ep has already been doing the rounds on the dj circuit in hackney wick and beyond. ‘patience’ was the result of a late night jam session with sync boxes, groove benders and the classic tr-909. after much fine-tuning, it’s been tried and tested by cinthie on her recent australia tour and is set to be a staple club cut for this summer. although ‘insouciant’ means a casual lack of concert, a lot of work went into making this one. it’s the most laid-back of the bunch, with smallville-esque juno 106 melodies perfect for the afterparty or warm up session. this goes out to the post-nyd loft party crew in the wick where it was played for the first time. try pronouncing this one at 7am in the morning… ‘fridge speed’ is a minimal house cut influenced by thoma’s garage roots. think rudely placed analogue synth stab melodies, ‘tuff’ skippy drums and big subs ideal for early hours and “it’s a london thing” house sets. ‘egress’ was made with long jam takes from thoma’s modular system. deep, dubby beats, evolving synths and textures make up this track thats been road-tested on the world famous fabric room 1 sound system by voigtmann in his extended set before ricardo villalobos. current support comes from maya jane coles, archie hamilton franck, roger, cinthie, voigtmann, john dimas.
