ltd reissue

limited to 500

the 2016 album from casablanca based beatmaker and guitarist saib. finally available on vinyl.

cold busted has navigated the smooth seas to unearth sailing, the new album from moroccan guitarist and beat-flinger saib. the casablanca- based producer has steered his sound into warmer waters. mixing tempered hip-hop beats with jazzy vibes and a lounge sensibility, saib. touches on a style thats both chill and opulent. the albums opener, archipelago, sets the scene with gentle piano, swirling strings, and beachside sounds that would make martin denny proud. tropics pushes the agenda further, featuring delightful vibraphone lines, stand-up bass, and boom bap beats, providing the perfect soundtrack for poolside cocktails. the sleepy crooning of blue memories, the future-retro sing-a-long of mermaid dreams, and the guitar/vibes interplay of pastel provide other highlights. sailings twelve songs show saib. as an artist capable of bringing a sunny climate to any listening environment

8 tracks of raw arabic funk music, none of these have ever been reissued before. so far fadoul (or fadaul, or faddoul, the transcribtion of his name to latin letters differs)& his music had not been rediscovered, as a matter of fact most of those songs still left no trace whatsoever in the world wide web. it took us 2 years and countless trips to morocco to find the artists family to license the release from them.

following the collaboration between elysia crampton, kelela and adrian piper, ‘final exam’, the vinyl factory join with elysia on her next solo release. ‘spots y escupitajo’. the release braids legacies from both american club culture and sonic miniature compositions in the form of a 12” sample pack. the lp honours classical american composers such as william gran still & john adams, as well as central/south american club producers like dj rodini, dj saiber & mega djs from cochabamba

this album is another chapter in the ongoing there s-muchmore-to-brazil than-bossa-nova saga. it s filled with disco-eratracks produced for the brazilian domestic marketplace, some of which were hits, others which were quite obscure. what binds them all together - besides their common origins, time period and overall musical approach - is the fact that their reputation has been steadily transcending brazils borders. this has allowed these tunes to find their place on set lists, want lists and in the crates of the world s most discerning djs and tastemakers.

with six years of covetable releases under its belt its safe to say that erol alkans flourishing phantasy label is well on its way to establishing itself as the uks preeminent purveyor of independent music. 2013 has been a particularly golden year with daniel averys critically acclaimed debut lp dropping in early october, sao paulo wunderkind babe, terrors btu project with man make musics u, recent collaborations with emperor machines andy meecham as future four and disco mavericks in flagranti and a slice of perfect summer pop from nadia ksaiba, not to mention connan mockasins upcoming sophomore opus caramel and the debut release from mysterious new signing ghost culture.

the 12inch is called in flagranti presents electric fling! 3 tracks with different producers this time... basically the recording happened during a dinner in london where they recorded percussion, synth, etc... then each of them made a different mix of it...

g&s is nadia ksaiba and matt nightmoves waites and show me the good times is a chunky, bass heavy beast full of live percussion, space echo fx and sparkling electronic flourishes. theres also someone from a rather famous pop group banging and shaking things in the background, we ll leave it to you to work out who...

was bewegt einen erwachsenen mann dazu, sich fŸr einen ganzen monat aus der zivilisation zurŸckzuziehen und sich in eine kleine hŸtte in den italienischen alpen zu begeben? im fall des hamburger musikers stimming war es die arbeit an seinem vierten album, das nach seinem refugium, alpe lusia, benannt wurde. die frage nach dem warum beantwortet stimming mit den stŠndigen wohlstandsgesellschafts-ablenkungen. stimmings album beginnt mit dem plŠtschern eines bachs, und in gewisser hinsicht ist es genau das: ein fluss, der in seinem verlauf neue stršme aufnimmt und somit an energie gewinnt, aber stets derselbe bleibt. zeitweise rei§end wie eine stromschnelle, andernorts ruhig wie eine flussbiegung, doch immer aus derselben quelle stammend. ich wollte etwas eigenes machen, eine reise die sich (abgesehen vom grundrezept house) mšglichst wenig an aktuellen stršmungen orientiert, so stimming. wenn man auf das feedback diverser kollegen vertrauen mšchte, scheint ihm dies gelungen zu sein so meint z.b. dj koze: ich bin begeistert. wahnsinnig warm, runtergestrippt, tief, verspielt und vor allem eigen! fast wie jemand, der einsam auf einem kutter Ÿber die meere gondelt und vor seinen kisten sitzt auf ritalin
