11 years voodoo down records celebration

it’s fred again.. with the second part of his music diary, pressed on clear vinyl.

raw industrial influenced techno

incl. october remix

honey soundsystem met october (aka jules) while on a one-night affair in bristol in which he immediately dragged us from an artist dinner to the saddest bear bar in the uk. after a few pints, vetting his taste for drag, boys, and girls that make love to boys who make love to boys, jules confessed he has always wanted to release on hnytrx. and so the hazing began, a year of torturing yet another sexy-stranger into refreshing, reminding, and refining a flurry of demos into the army of skeleton soldiers you now have in possession. money drops, midnight withdrawals, 4 crisp singles: this is the pay day ep gonna make that dance-floor cha-ching bitch! a lot of people hate october so... that is why we are releasing this record in september. but seriously though, upon cracking open this 4 track ep you might wish you had saved the vacuum seal just a couple days longer, keeping these ghosts contained until the month where screaming winds strip trees nude

this split lp compiles the output of two closely related bands from, as suggested by the title, the hot, humid and (at the time) socially isolated city of brisbane, australia – an unlikely location for synth-pop and new wave music during the 1980s. prod & the moonbaby were a high school duo experimenting with tape loops, cheap electronics and primitive sampling.. the result is certainly lo-fi, light-hearted and naive, but also charming and the music belies the young age of the musicians. ash in october was in many ways a logical progression of prod & the moonbaby and shared some of the same personnel, but also added some new wave influence through extra instrumentation and more serious, considered lyrics. most of these tracks have never been heard before outside a handful of self-distributed tapes and this compilation was compiled over several years by the artists in collaboration with hysteric and nick mariano (crispy nuggets).

malestripper, the punk that discovered the disco, drops some trickle down acid numbers onto the october blotting paper. low slung, falling bass lines tumble underneath an upper canopy of scintillating hats, teased acid lines and ear-tingling melodies. 10”s of dark and ready basement bliss.

1981 classic by dublins finest rock export!! remastered 180g vinyl release with illustrated inner sleeve and quality booklet inside!!

the second instalment in october’s eponymous 10” label series. two slabs of gritty acid flecked techno, disco and house that have been destroying floors from lab.oratory to fabric.

following up from his critically acclaimed industrial flecked debut album on skudge white, bristol’s october comes correct with a new series of 10” records, each featuring under-polished no frills club cuts aimed straight at the floor, rough enough to strip paint from the walls.

regular studio sparring partners october and borai rekindle their ongoing partnership for hometown label happy skull, eschewing the conventions of club-ready house and techno in favour of two decidedly dark industrial interpretations.

bristol based julian smith aka october returns to skudge records with the full length black body radiation. sounding like the soundtrack for a long lost dystopic anime movie. action packed, intense, fast-moving. body music from the future.

nice price deal !!! the brstl label reaches its tenth release with a return to where it started with a 12 inch from october & borai. the label was set up by rhythmic theory, chris farrell and shanti celeste in 2011 from the idle hands record shop as a means to showcase the finest house and techno being produced in their city, bristol. octobers * head 4 phuture* is a nod to the acid pioneers without resorting to revivalism. instead a heady groove is teased out over several minutes, perfect dj gear. october & borai * too high the future* is a heady stoned house groove, from bristols highest producers – with some weighty sub to propel things along.

with the hott ep, run out run delivers a killer transatlantic link-up featuring tx connect, tom dicicco, hermans & mr. ho and october& borai.
dj support: answer code request, randomer, nick dunton, eomac, kris

las modelos is a collaboration between the voodoo down label heads (l’estasi dell’oro, 12x12, n’conduit) and october, collectively conceived and tracked over the course of an all-night recording session in the winter of 2014 in the studio home of voodoo down records. the b side is a dub remix done by october, stripping the original track down to its roots. recorded at fyybj studios, brooklyn. additional mixing at smith street studios, brooklyn. mastered by tim xavier at manmade mastering, berlin. limited to 300 copies, vinyl only.

there is a new force in dance music. faceless, origin unknown, yet undoubtedly producing an indelible sonic footprint, utilising the heavy gravity of earth and its acoustics, vibrations and human voice, the outfit dubbed life beyond earth have entered our atmosphere.

october is back with his first solo 12 after appearing on fred ps spm label last year. both cuts will please lovers of octobers trademark slow techno sound and also hint at the industrial influences which he explores more heavily on his debut lp, forthcoming on skudge white.

airhead is writing big ones now. inspired by afterhours sessions in some of the worlds best and worst nightclubs, hek024 bangs with the best of them and enforces a new weight behind the producers delicate production style. the roughness debuted on this summers *believe* ep for 1-800 dinosaur (a label rob co-runs with james blake and friends) on which he soaked up plenty of influences from us and uk club tracks/trax and effortlessly intertwined them with his measured songwriting and arrangement skills.

the latest musical addition to the classic family is mr. dan beaumont. integral in the birth of disco bloodbath, paris acid ball, macho city and setting up the london basement rave institutions dance tunnel and dalston superstore, dan wowed lukes heart a year ago after sending him this throwback, move forward disco, hi - energy, house stomper.

fresh off his appearance on earthtones 4, this is octobers debut solo ep. expect a dark sensual foray into the cosmos, some abstract yet moody beats, a galactic house journey, & maybe a portal to another dimension.

until my heart stops vol 4 with more fantastic tracks from arnaldo , joey anderson, october , leif ! tipp

ltd edition 300 units, superb new release by voodoo down recorrds with october (skudge) & wicked remy by joey anderson

tanstaafl ends the year with october and john osborn manning the helm bracing us for the dark days that lie ahead. big kicks and pseudo acid sounds collide with dub sound system principles in this collaboration between the two label heads. limited to 300 units so get them while they last.

following up his ep >string theory< on simple, julian october smith has teamed up with label head will saul, for >light sleeper<, aus musics final release of 2012. the ep comes with a remix from kompakt boss michael mayer.

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.

bristols october (who teamed up with applebim to tear out a truly cold remix of skudge last year) comes with his own 12inch on the skudge artist series... 2 excellent tracks here - 2 moods, both heavy! tip!octobers new ep for skudge is one for the warehouse: both in nostalgic and progressive terms, october seem to have recorded the timelessness and his soul into the forth installment of skudge presents.

with surprise cut on center ... after the success of the first release, tanstaafl returns for their second wax adventure, this time with the musical renegade dj october at the helm. october has entered a new phase of production for the tanstaafl series and has focused himself firmly on a reduced, stripped and effective formula for the floor. his productions are heavy, smoked out narcoleptic dub infused journeys, and his latest 12 offers more or less of the same opaque vibe but with his sights firmly set on the floor, with one foot in the past and the other in the future - drawing from his usual detroit, nyc and chicago influences. so we kick off 2012 with a future classic, singularity jump, which douses you in synthesized saxophone hooks, chopped vocal samples and a meaty juno hip-house inspired bass-line.planet of minds is more of a inner space affair very much inspired by acid and dub. successfully combining the two, october injects more of an airy feel into the mix and delivers a moody cosmic acid jam that will not fail your dancing feet or tripped-out mind. definitely one for the later hours.this is going to be an anthem, hands down, so get it before its gone for good.

vinyl only !! big with: paul woolford, deetron, tazz, terrence fixmer, brendon moeller, anthony shake shakir, john osborn, chris duckenfield, dj deep, joel alter, nick hoeppner, nyra, cedric maison, eric cloutier, ed davenport, harri, ernie, milton jackson, a sagittariun, jonas kopp, huxley, danny howells,... never learnt follows up the superb nyra >best of< release with this superb two-tracker from october & borai, who have previously teamed up for the shadowing brstl imprint, october as a solo artist is currently winning many a plaudit for his unique take on house and techno, with releases on skudge, simple, applepips and his own taanstafl imprint all causing a stir. in this release, we see two dubbed out, cosmic housers with >level abstain< being a skewed peak time cut and >vital ital rub< heading for the deeper floors. stay tuned…

huge legowelt remix! dont miss!

two adventurous artists in their own right, platter001 sees the first meeting of minds for appleblim and october, with two wildly different results. >ny fizzzzz< is a peak-time belter in the truest sense of the word, launching to life with a rigid 4/4 drum machine stomp. appleblims dub tendencies pepper octobers knack for the jack with spacious delays and reverbs before a muted piano hook gets filtered into the mix. melting away to let the chords shine through, the drop encapsulates the pinnacle of any late night jam, bright, bold and brassy, and irresistibly catchy. >fountains of paradise< trickles in on a bed of rippling fx, guided by haunting, melodic synth flourishes that only vintage gear can conjure up. the rhythm section ticks away faithfully as the distinctly psychedelic tones and drones shape the definitive 21st century dub track. blissful in its execution, >fountains…< will stand the test of time as a magically unique slice of delectable ambience.

>that placid track< has been in the hands of some lucky individuals for some time now, making its way across dancefloors from berlin to new york, bristol to tokyo.
dark disco references are heavy throughout with a great use of strings licks, a slo-motion vocal sample and a classic cowbell keeping everything nicely in check. as with most of octobers productions though he still has one foot firmly inside berghainrendering this essentially disco track into something with more of a late night, broody edge.

english duo behling & simpsons debut ep on pespectiv! hypnotic seductive and slow building house tracks with a warm groove. modern house tracks with strong references. october delivers a exciting remix version that shows he is not afraid to go outside the know path. somehow reminding of invisible circles by margaret dygas. anyway... another effective and tasteful house release on rippertons own persepctive label. check!

laying low in the cut after the much lauded >recession vol.1< mix album and his wrily-titled futuristic crossover >euro dance hit<, caravan label head honcho julian smith aka october returns from deep studio retreat with possibly his best, certainly most forward thinking dance floor record to date. as always october takes a big slice of his inspiration from the detroit techno sound of the 80s and early 90s which is clearly evident on the second cut on this plate in particular. however you simply cannot ignore his perhaps more euro-centric dub tendencies and broken-beat rhythm principles that always inform his overall composition and production ethos.

stunning new limited october missive - drawn from the well received new recession volume one mix cd. already making waves throughout thedubstep and techno communities, these tunes make the nifty stealth connection between well conceived and executed warehouse moves and thegrimey realities of the low end pressure in evidence here. one of the most futuristic twelves in an age - for fans of scuba - style innovation, slow house and deepest techno

absolute madness from immerse here, as october is released from his minimal techno day centre to wreak havoc amongst the dubsteppers. elephants is a pretty appropriate name for the a, as bongo loops and ominuous machine noises are summarily flattened by the phasing bass crunch and trumpeting midrange. add a dash of running breakbeat to the mix and you have a strange yet effective dancefloor worrier. flipside, medium opts for broken techno stylings, simmering pads and clattering percussion setting the scene for the tense main event. 8/10 recommended review by diccon c/o idjmagazine

perspectiv proposes you some serious vibes for your dj bag. october (caravan) strikes back with a new electronic odissey my left tool ep . on the flip tobias. (wagon repair, nsi) in top form deliver us one of the most sensitive remix ever on the label.

share our happiness and be prepeared for an enthralling journey with isolée

a truly stunning two tracker of tracks that could make you dance as well as cry. this should quite easily crossover to all genres and has mass appeal

caravan, wie immer sehr souverän auf ihrem parkett. toller dubbiger & minimaler techno

super musik, die genau an der schnittstelle von fat & musik krause liegt. toller hit mit charakter!!!

excellent & deep masterpiece!! one of the more interesting newcomers of 2007, we are delighted to welcome a new ep by october, his first for perspectiv. having turned heads with three singles on his own label caravan, octobers organic techno cuts and thuds, adding an inherent physicality to his productions. a side title track >say again< revolves around a female vocal loop, fuzzing and throbbing with pulsed melodic tone, punching live percussion and deep bass line. a highly unconventional mix, this composition ties together effortlessly, peaking with a deep and droning wave of analog synth and popped beats. b side >go outside< is an after hours treat. a darker, deeper and altogether more ethereal work, stuttering beats are glued together with a warm prodded synth melody. to close, resonant percussion and phased keys submerge the track into a claustrophobic climax.

nach dem ersten killer-release geht es hier mit chicago gefärbten techno munter weiter

killerplatte ! als würde dave clarke seine red 1 nochmal der zeit angemessen produzieren. grossartig
