taken from the forthcoming album !!knives was produced during the album sessions, but works best as a single for djs as its a massive club track. paul woolford has been the track playing in every set recently. this is the first single to be released from >the truth<, paul woolfords new artist album, and this is the only way vinyl fans can get hold of tracks from paul woolford presents bobby peru >the truth<. knives is purpose built for sound systems the world over. direct floor techno with some quick edits and quirky touches.

as a label you sometimes get demos in that make you listen up right with the first beats. >deep valley< and >to the groove< by silent hill are one of these rare examples. a high production quality and massive, powerful beats leave no doubt, heres an experienced engineer at work. man behind this project is long-term producer thomas kutger getting the assist of evil concussion. two tracks as different as complementary – >deep valley< attends to the deeptechy fields whereas >to the groove< is more of a housy affair, but both with an enormous pressure and bassheaviness to set both dancefloors and sound systems on fire.

sometimes, its still worth not to waste your youth with nonsense but to learn to play an instrument. like in the case of sebastian mullaert, who has learned to play violin, organ and piano, while his partner marcus henriksson rather came from kraftwerk and human league to electronic music. as son kite, the two swedes have already a well-known name in the psy-trance scene, and as minilogue, they now start to conquer the minimal and house world. with their rather unique sound, they manage the tightrope walk between minimal and trance and never allow us to put them into a drawer. especially with their debut on cocoon rec, minilogue present themselves in a different way, compared to their releases on traum or wagon repair. >jamaica< is a calm track at the first hearing and is perfect for building up a set. beginning with bird-like sounds, the track builds up slowly and quickly becomes very interesting and tricky, ramifies as organic as a climbing plant, and when the tribal sound emerges from the underground, this track has exactly what makes minilogue so special: organic matter and groovy sounds, worked into a minimal labyrinth with very much love for the details. all of that can also be found on the b side which seems to be more adequate for the morning hours, with its somehow spacey sound. with >jamaica<, mullaert and henriksson prove that they are floating on the very surface of the endless minimal ocean. and with their album >animals< being already in sight on cocoon recordings, one can be highly anxious of what is coming ahead, by minilogue and techno made in sweden

dope new highly limited vinyl 7inch of rain forest featuring exclusive mixes of this beautiful psychedelic house tour de force. experimenting with the uncomfortable mixture of dance friendly production and the sternly serious project of psychedelic adventurism!! these mixes are undoubtedly in a more exploratory tone. luscious chords set the framework for this piano led masterpiece, all the while drifting along on perfectly placed synth arrangements. rain forest might appear pretty at first, a closer listen will yield more confusing emotional reaction as the record at once soothes and disorients. of course, anyone experienced in introspective exploration and healing should know nourishment and pain are not mutually exclusive
