black vinyl

ultra limited, one copy per customer! in an absurd world, full of unwanted auditory sensations, sometimes we have to escape back to the basement - back to the beats. that feeling, that need, paved the way for blint to release his very first solo ep – blint001. the record is a two-tracker: on side a you’ll find „silent movements“, a bassline-driven broken beat with a dark twist in the end. on the flipside there is „road to ioannina“ which is based on an 808 drum pattern, accompanied by a smooth synth-odyssee. the record comes along with a fine art print of the cover, drawn by graffitiartist rookie the weird, handsigned and numbred on 300gr. paper. a special gadget, that is connecting blint s musical output to his roots in graffiti and hip-hop culture. a true underground-package from germanys ruhr-area!

benny rodrigues produces a package that lives up to its name. ‘i like’ ep oozes influences from detroit techno and masters a current take on an age-old sound. ‘i like’ is delicious, wrapped in vintage sounds, it creates a true party atmosphere. ‘reel’ is coproduced with fellow dutch musician kapuchon. this is the sound of old school flavours, tearing into the past and the present and creating a winning formula. benny rodrigues was born and raised in rotterdam, and held residencies at some of holland most influentual clubs from the age of 17. he has toured with his musical hero, the legendary josh wink, been asked twice to perform at the detroit electronic music festival and headlined and closed the legendary dance-festivals dancevalley, mysteryland and extrema. somewhere along the road, benny met the rookie nick van de wall aka kapuchon (aka afrojack for his more mainstream appealing productions). they decided to combine their passion of music, resulting in coproductions for white noise records, spinclub records and others. this is benny rodrigues first release for the israeli imprint, be as one. his releases have begun to find allegiances with artists such as steve bug, radioslave and be as one’s own shlomi aber. being regularly charted and played by the best, benny is stepping into the global arena.
