here is what we know about luv*jam: known to his mum as andrew cole, he is a house producer and dj from wrexham, north wales. enigmatic though he is, luv*jam has revealed more than enough personality between wax grooves. his generous string of white-hot releases on such labels as we play house, phonica, skylax, lany recordings, and his own crow castle cuts do more than enough talking. that sterling track record continues with his throne of blood debut.

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.

in its own way, speicher on kompakt extra has always been one of the most uncompromising series in the kompakt universe. starting out as a mere compilation series to tie up some loose ends from our regulars, it has since become a guarantee for vanguard dance sounds from all over the planet, with kompakt being able to invite and support electronic artists that comfortably inhabit both the delicate and the more deliberate ends of the electronic music spectrum. thats also where we found the highly versatile sei a, native glaswegian, now residing in london and immersing himself in the hybrid house, firm techno and bass-heavy scenes that happily co-exist within uks capital. he is well known to paint vivid and emotional sonic pictures that touch on rather more considered house and bass tropes, prizing feeling over fads and staging an impressive balancing act between hardcore beat science and lush, moody arrangements. this 12 inch is no different, featuring two stellar examples for sei as stylistic reach, rave stabs included. welcome to the many-faceted party that is speicher

for uzuri 018 we return to one of our home grown artists – jitterbug. time has flown since his last release for us in 2010, but we have been quite eager to get some new material out from him for a while – and, based on feedback we have had, plenty of other people are keen to hear more from him too. both his raw winter and beaten trax eps were pretty popular releases for us and his dj appearances always create a stir, so we are pleased to bring you this, the arcane theory ep. the track sequencing on this record is pretty aggressive – front-loaded with the confrontational rise of the machines. a track that really lives up to its title, sounding like the production line at cyberdyne systems… all stomp and evil synths, like a bad mood e-dancer. fallout couldnt be further from that – relaxed and making no attempt at all to get in your face. itll win you over, though. just a nice, deep groove and a lovely, phased beat. could play it for hours… the whole of the flip is devoted to nomads, a chiming, acidic wander. nearly eleven minutes in length. the kicks never at the fore on this one – most of the action occurs at the mid and high frequencies – a resonant 303, lots of hi hats and, later, synths which expand on the eastern-flavour of the track title

after the masterfully trippy rise before zod from rebels boss damian lazarus and james what comes one third of a british institution to rebellion, aidan lavelle. his first assault on dance music since u.n.k.l.e, the solo tinnitus ep is an infectious affair comprising of three eclecticm, sensory dancefloor bombs
