giant records 10th release is from new york born adam collins and limited to 150 hand stamped and numbered copies. adam is widely known for his work as one half of production duo omni am, along with marky star and counts derrick carter and evil eddie richards and a whole host of others, amongst their fans. adam’s release for giant is titled - day2day and has all the trademark’s of adam’s wonky, left of field, slightly off kilter grooves - day2day builds and snakes itself into a bottom bass heavy house jam - chicago style keys mould the snare and hats into an infectious work out - with an alien like hook that keeps it all slightly wobbly. the next cut is from the super talented carl finlow under carl’s random factor guise, a beauty in its own right ! super tight drums and a punchy random factor bassline take’s this mix on a journey through many shades of electronica - as the track swells nicely with warm atmospheric pads and sprinkles of emotive keys, with an electro style hook that keep’s it all swinging in carl’s trademark sound. the next mix is from la based producer mieka du franx. mieka’s mix strips the original down to the bare essentials and gives it a tuff minimal feel. the last mix is from echo of glory, which see’s echo take the track on a acid tinged work out - adding dubbed out vocals and super subbed out bass.
carl finlow could be regarded as one of the cornerstones of not only 20/20 vision, but also of british electronic music. his boundary pushing, electro-tinged productions under the random factor alias make for essential 20/20 listening, as does his work as 1/4 of 2020soundsystem. while this year has been about looking to the future of the label, we also felt it was important that we looked deep into our history and revisited one of our all time classic records: random factor – broken mirror. on the a side carl has prepared a new ‘revisted’ version for this release and this is accompanied by the original version from 1999. for the remixer we thought long and hard about someone we felt would be suitable. someone with pedigree in the electro scene, who would feel as passionate as we do about making this release something truly special. there was only really one person we wanted and luckily when we contacted legowelt he was a big fan of the original track and was super keen to get onboard the project. we hope you enjoy these two pioneers of the electro scene going head to head x

the first release >baron< reveals to the audience what minimal music should refer to: not minimizing a song to mere sounds but rather focusing on the essentials. ric janvier melds pithy lyrics, an impulsive bassline and aristocratic effects into an opus which lets every dancefloor crowd melt away. further spiced with remixes by legendary random factor and a local frankfurt duo known as möwüller, the baron is unleashed to clubs.
>beaten< is the first track to be released from random factor’s new album and comes with excellent art of tones remixes.carl a finlow again shows his history and pedigree as well as his refusal to jump on bandwagons and trends by producing timeless electronic music inspired more by kraftwerk, yello, stockhausen, tomita, prince, sakamoto, brian eno and the white noise than by what’s playing this summer at dc10. ralph lawson used >beaten< as the last track on his recent 2020vision compilation. this jerky sporadic groove gives a nod to the forefathers while holding down a beat anyone would be proud of. the single comes complete with remixes from art of tones, fresh after last year’s huge >praise<. this mystery outfit has now signed to 2020vision and this is the first of many bombs from them. art of tones take the track directly to the dancefloor and produce two versions that would slay berlin’s panorama bar at 9 on a sunday morning.
after their immensely strong last single i know what its like (to be a dog) and cheeky debut no hands no teeth australian rising stars >stick figures< turn up the pressure with an electro house dancefloor bomb! useless is a dark and twisted club rocker with rolling basslines, dark analogue leads and chunky drums custom built for large sound systems. swing sixty retains the darkness in deeper tech house mood with hints of tastefully restrained acid. flip for a wickedly building 45rpm remix of useless by parisian producer random factor that compliments the original perfectly - tough, deep and uncompromising

auf dem sechsten studioalbum des australischen singer/songwriters ziggy alberts, dancing in the dark, finden alle vorherigen singles platz, von rewind über campfire, i believe, tattoos bis the sun & the sea feat. donovan woods. das album ist in einem genre angesiedelt, das ziggy selbst als future folk bezeichnet. es ist ehrlich, aufrichtig, emotional verletzlich, aber dennoch wunderschön mit kreativer melodie, demut und lyrischem trost vorgetragen. die lp kommt auf farbigem vinyl, bei dem jedes exemplar nach dem zufallsprinzip anders ausfäll

land of the drums ist eine einzigartige mischung aus natürlichen tiergeräuschen im rhythmus und einem treibenden dance percussion beat. der produzent neftali santiago (ehemaliger drummer von mandrill) war 1980 ein sample-pionier. alle tiergeräusche wurden mit einem melotron (erster sampler mit analogen tapeloops) eingespielt. die single war nur als promo erhältlich und erregte in holland viel aufmerksamkeit, z.b. als radiosong in der legendären radiosendung soul show mit ferry maat. die promo-exemplare werden wegen der sammelleidenschaft der djs für bis zu 85 dollar pro stück verkauft. heutzutage gibt es immer noch eine nachfrage nach der platte.
