hypnotic stripped sci-fi techno tracks proving there is unknown life to be seen through the looking glass. sci-fi techno tracks that tell a story. the ?through the looking glass? inspiration for the artist is the concept of the examination of the relationship between the observer and the tools used for the observation. the result is probably some of the sickest techno tracks we ve heard in a while! going somewhere between sahko and good old minimal detroit techno from mills and hood.

theres no need to do a big introduction of deep space orchestra. si murray and chris barker have releases on a number of heavyweight labels (e.g. delusions of grandeur or use of weapons) and regular guest appearances at club nights and radio shows throughout the uk and rest of the world. their second ep for quintessentials is some raw and analogue business topped with the dso funk! wolf music hot shot krl adds some piano and old school power on his remix and we must admit were delighted!

sometimes club music doesnt need to be too clever. sometimes all you need is an insistent groove and a hook. allow nuance, subtlety or layers upon layers of carefully sculpted found sounds, sometimes the drive to dance to a piece of music overtakes the rational over thinking and just inspires movement. that is precisely what this trio of original productions from 19 year old brummy, wattville aka matthew evans, does incredibly well to inaugurate sonic router records debut vinyl release.

unusually for a record (for me,at least), constants collects tracks written in four very different moments in time: some are recent - so recent ive only had the opportunity to play them out just a handful of times - while others are over one year old. i really wish the story behind this ep would be a bit more interesting so this text could completely blow your mind but im afraid there were no dragons, no sex, no drugs and definitely no rock n roll involved. all four were mostly produced by me while sipping coffee and wearing boxer shorts in front of a computer. i could somehow try to describe the music on here but it would probably take less for you to give it a listen. however, if you happen to be one of the humans that prefer reading about music. anyway, im really happy to see these finally out, especially on a label i have always looked up to like vakant. i really used to think smoke, kaden and ozer were aliens at some hopefully you will enjoy this music as much as i loved writing and playing it out.

we abandon an old >dimension of the anger< and go to the new >dimension of happiness< all tracks written & produced by key ym, no milk, rondenion

on le rire ep jared wilson (7777 - skudge / detroit) leads the way with a pest chicago-house inspired rework, devilishly and deliciously analog without whittling down to a mere old-school homage, a sort of us-acid-dubstep version of addison groove, with a taste of slacker jak-beat for the nirvana generation! a melodic decomposer, scottish dam mantle (warp - ghostly international / glasgow) deceitfully feigns to mellow with what could at first glance seem like an edit. however deep excavations into the intense choir of >voyage vers l harmonie< leads to a surreal confrontation between a slum village like beat and a post-industrial version of melody nelson. thundery atmospheres, slippery slopes… the best way to pay tribute to luc marianni. famous for his duo as well as his label syncom data, nukubus (bunker / rotterdam) is nonetheless an inspired soloist, as this breathtaking remix once again proves. the 11 minutes long krautrock tunnel leaves many envious of its authenticity and sheer technical virtuosity. this swirling reinterpretation of mariannis work manages to leave the original behind and come into its own. its out of respect for the original work that nukubus requested to be credited only as a remixer. if youve bothered to read the few lines above, please remember it is both easier and wiser to form your own opinion with the vinyl in your own two hands. please note that the distribution of these eps will be accompanied by some very limited original editions of luc mariannis vinyls

unreleased egyptian jazz: 2x45s set in a unique hand-printed fold-open pyramid! four sides of previously-unreleased ethnic mythic mystic jazz from the legendary egyptian drummer! before the re-release of his album with the cairo jazz band recently, the name salah ragab was best known to jazz fans and record collectors by way of another lp that was recorded with sun ra in the early 70s. his album >prism music unit< with the cairo jazz band was released in egypt with another by the cairo free jazz ensemble, but perhaps only salah himself knew of the other songs he had recorded at the time, but didnt make it onto these lps. the tapes lurking for decades in an old trunk, its taken until now for them to see the light of day, and we present them here as four amazing pieces of egyptian jazz on 2 seven inch singles. entombed within a hand-printed, hand-made pyramid shaped box, this is the first time in 40 years that these recordings will have come to light. ladies and gentlemen, behold the splendor that is salah ragab and the cairo jazz band!

2methyl (aka 2methylbulbe1ol) is an up and coming 26 year old audio heavyweight from the east of france. at first a fan of post-hardcore, grindcore and noise rock, his discovery of venetian snares and xanopticon opened new boundaries for him to explore, resulting in his own distinctive, crushing sound. he uses music as a form of narrative, leading dance floors through intriguing cyberpunk, industrial soundscapes. 2methyl s releases to date include 2 ep s on rotator s ruff recordings imprint, and another one on komodo dragon records. he shared stage with eight frozen module, niveau zero, sinister souls, counterstrike, reso, dope d.o.d, luke viber, shitmat.with his new ep on overclockheadz rec., 2methylbulbe1ol dives deeper into his approach of dubstep,a blend of metallic heaviness, mechanic pianos dull melancholia and the humming of sub-bass reminiscing the hyper technological sounds of neuro-funk. 3 dystopian visions of an hyperspace haunted by fantasies of civilization, 3 requiems for mankind sung by orphan automatons. to complete the whole, a stripped-out version of golem by hecq, a mastering by angelos liaros (mobthrow), splendidly-sleeved by the old accomplice okiko.

nicolas audren aka dj steaw is a dj / producer based in rennes (france). his productions reflect his inspiration for deep house, funk, afro and especially the raw old school elements in house music. this release takes us back to the classic house sound somewhere in between kerri chandler & mood ii swing and has been a secret weapon of ours for some time now. from the funk & organ groove in >i want< to the lush chords and big piano breakdown in >sky hunt<. house dancers and fanatics of good vibes be aware! essential is the right word for the white journey ep.

straight from buenos aires, brimful of sun, comes brouqades latest release. nina soul convinces with his intense, pulse-pumping house productions. pushed by an extremely funky vocal, >feel you< rolls in on a wave of gentle piano chords just to capture you entirely by concentrating on its crystal clear, cracking beat. >to me< interweaves smooth groove with finest old school elements, discretely tightening the track with acid vocals in the fill, to end up cool and relaxed, pouring out into balmy summerparty nights. in >try to pretend<, the dark, metallic sound encounters melancholy female memory on a sigh (well...). faster looks at the matter more pragmatically. in his remix, his focus on sound and mood creates a hypnotic track - entirely devoted to the dance floor and to the children of the night.

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.
