ltd to 1000, coloured vinyl

2022 repress - invisible city returns with the hotly anticipated reissue of amajovi jovi by durban’s o.g. kwaito giant, sandy b. originally self-released on cassette and a white label 12”, rumour has it sandy had to remake the tracks from memory because even he couldn’t find a copy. . in its original post-apartheid context, amajovi jovi was a sign of youthful subversiveness, rebellious creativity and a neck snapping rejection to the fascist groove of a silenced nation. while the pantsulla hustler nods to house legends like jamie principle and pal joey, its hip hop breaks and interludes show a clear affection for snoop dogg’s doggystyle. at its slowed down tempo however, this low-fi kwaito masterpiece turns away from its american influence and looks towards baldelli and his cosmos. best of all are sandy’s vocals— deep, melodic zulu rap, sung flippantly—the way that only a true gangster could. it now stands as one of the finest glimpses of 90s party music to ever be blasted at the underground parties of the south african townships. a huge fave of jamie tiller, tako and ice, we are proud to present a limited vinyl and cassette reissue from one of the godfathers of kwaito. remastered and restored from the original cassette tape. designed by zeitype.

brill 90s sound, aim 2 pleez was a label made primarily for n-zo & dj invincible to have an outlet for jungle in the early days of the genre but they definitely leaned more towards the more musical side of the sound. the label didn t last that long but the end result is that the few releases on the label are now very sought after, fetching absurd prices on second hand, and this ep is in particular demand. they are two tracks of immense proportions, that not only appeal to the junglists but to breakbeat hardcore lovers alike. a proper crossover ep that has stood the test of time, sounding just as fresh today as it did back in 1994!

deepartsounds may be a sublabel of moto music, but it s achieved so much on its own terms over the past decade. now joe lewis is joining the esteemed ranks of the label with even more experience behind him he was recording for the likes of relief records and peacefrog way back when. its no secret when you listen to his jams on back 2 live, where rugged and raw synth lines sit atop tough machine beats. love mystery is plenty tender where it counts, but 9 lives and confused house head towards a rougher end goal for the nastier kind of party.

ltd repress! dominik eulberg’s second ep on his label apus apus features the track “roter gitterling“ (eng. basket stinkhorn / red cage) on the a side and „tintenfischpilz“ (engl. octopus stinkhorn / devil s fingers) on the flip side. a. roter gitterling the fleshy red cage of this kind of mushroom reminds of a merging of an upside down shopping string bag and an alien. not allowing any objection, the track strides forward with determination towards a musical interpretation of this strange being. a fulminant kick drum counteracts in a very prosaic way the bitter-sweet pads. in a very narrative fashion the track gathers speed and flocks diverse soundscapes and disembogues in a break of harmonical expanse. conciliatory and in a hedonistic way the bass drum eventually stitches together what belongs to each other. b. tintenfischpilz this bizarre looking extraterrestrial mushroom evokes at first glance the image of a dead octopus or radioactive vegetable. as in a science fiction movie four to six tentacles sprout and raise out of a common stinkhorn and later spread into a star shape look. in an unparalleled manner this stunning progression is executed musically by eulberg with a high degree of elaboration. all done with elegant blend of continuous progression and permanent change the track wreathes itself towards heaven, whereas fragmented melody artifacts pour into the shape of a miraculous emergence.

the mystery artist or cane is the dance floor outlet of funckarma aka don & roel funcken (nl). music for the body but with an increase in cognitive focus, the mystery artist sound has the rawness and darkness of funckarma with a tilt towards techno, electro and acid. >gwane mone< sees the return of the ma after a first release on skam records, with a unique blend of heavy bass lines and offbeat electro rhythms. the a-side starts with the dark slow mood of >jinn<, a track defining the general atmosphere of the record. the pace gets picked up through >oid trazzle<, a modern electro killer with that distinct attention to detail of the funcken brothers. the b-side continues with the mental bass of >gwane mone<, a brooding subbass line accompanies an offbeat rhythm structure. the ep finishes with >ssiwsk<, a track closer to the cane sound and with a distinct intent for the underground dance floor. the gwane mone ep builds up through the four tracks and therefore works equally well as a dj-tool and as an up-tempo home listening record
