the west loop chicago collective reportedly span continents, pooling soul-soaked talents into some truly powerful dance music. -knocking on the door of the cosmos- doffs its cap to sun ra with some crafty samples, but the musical vibe is more in line with the likes of andres, dego or other such masters of irrepressibly funky house music. -theme for chicago- takes an iconic roy ayers jam and gets wild with the filter, -son of equinox- trips down a loose and limber jazz funk pathway and -payback- whips up some tightly clipped samples into a pumped up peak time belter. from start to finish this ep oozes class and authenticity - a serious grip for any self-respecting midwest heads.

three years since profane’s seminal album v.illan mills was recorded for inperspective and it’s long overdue that he returns to the label. this canadian native’s unique style that somehow fuses the hip hop sensibilities of j.dilla, the jazz/funk ideologies of danny breaks and the experimental truth of squarepusher has been a breath of fresh air in recent years on the underground d&b scene and these two new cuts from him are no exception. the experimentally epic breakbeat off tempo monstrosity of drughmada is a heady, giddy tapestry of beats and breaks with a sleazy sample and panic led overtones. west newton views is a darker more minimal affair. a clunky, dubstep vibe which maintains moody intensity throughout. tense and suspenseful. the other side sees the triumphant return of rome’s lynch kingsley. this young, precocious talent has been a good friend to the label for a number of years and after making waves with his debut eden ep it was only a matter of time before his return. we are pleased to present void , a dark journey through the breakbeat, sci-fi escapism of early 90 s d&b which in time develops into a deep, break laden workout with gorgeous synths and fantasy atmospheres. a joy to behold.

octave one announce their new album under the much loved random noise generation guise. the first rng release was falling in dub in 1991 and sounding just as fresh 27 years later, endustry is due for release this spring. something of a new take on their creative process the burden brothers made most of this music on the road while they toured over the past year, using the country they were in at each time they recorded to influence and inspire each track. we were tucked away in so many hotel rooms that we decided to make sure we brought enough extra equipment so that we could set up a true lab to create from country to country and make the grooves that we wanted to experiment with on the dance floor. comments lawrence. this body of work encompasses 7 full length cuts, naturally all with that classic octave one emotion. alkaylze, more than any of tracks on this project, embraced the original spirit of random noise generation in so much as the machine seemed to be really guide the creative process. adds lenny much of the foundation of the composition was very accidental, but inspirational, with various musical devices interpreting data in a very unexpected results. it actually came together quite quickly but things just fell into place so naturally. after touring and making music for decades the spirit and essential energy of the craft is what keeps them eternally inspired to keep creating and touring the globe. once it takes hold of you you cant stop even if you wanted to. says the pair, and so endustry is born.

bryan simpson, seines zeichens der mastermind der the whistles & the bells beschreibt das konzept von „modern plagues“ so: „ich stelle mir eine dinner-party vor, bei der ich einige meine lieblinge der zeitgeschichte einlade. sagen wir personen wie abe lincoln, john lennon, joan of arc und truman capote. das ganze findet samstag-abend auf coney island statt, soren kierkegaard und malcolm muggeridge essen hot dogs und zuckerwatte und diskutieren ihre ideen, - es wird immer lauter und wilder. die stimmung habe ich versucht mit diesem konzept-album klanglich einzufangen!“. musikalisch muss man sich auf eine entsprechende mixtur einstellen: indie-pop trifft auf banjo, heiterer funk auf rock, hier ein paar bläsersätze, da eine soul-sängerin. wild, inspiriert und frei von musikalischen barrieren.

a truly essential piece of early detroit techno history here, octave ones original white label octivation ep from 1990 has long been a sought after and coveted slab of wax. this 5 track journey charts the burden brothers mood from sinister, spacey, acidic techno jams (sonic fusion) to deeper, more melancholic mid-tempo cuts (nicolette) and along the way manages to usher in a new wave of detroit techno sounds.

huge record alert! possibly one of the rarest (and funkiest!) jams on the legendary west end label! “touch your life” is an elusive beast, co-produced and mixed by bert reid (crown heights affair, empress) and steeped in low slung, spaced out electronic funk, this 1982 release is surely one of the most sought after in the labels catalog. a slick quiet storm number featuring the ultra smooth, laid back vocals of the millers backed with some serious synthed-out grooves, a real beauty of a track that will appeal to all disco, soul, electro-funk and boogie heads alike. both the vocal mix and the instrumental are featured here just like the original 12&#8243,,, release. this is the very first time this record has ever been re-issued in over 30 years. don’t miss your chance to scoop up a true rarity, used copies of “touch your life” usually sell for above the £100 mark and don’t turn up very often, if at all! this re-issue has been re-mastered from the original tapes and re-pressed with original label artwork in full collaboration with west end records, new york city.

true to the motto do it yourself diynamic is re-releasing solomuns remix of lana del reys west coast on its sister-label 2diy4, in order to make it available all around the globe. in his subtle manner, solomun works his magic around the breathless sultry vocals of lana del rey: apart from the luscious beat and the droning lower frequencies, the catchy synthesizer builds a simple, but harmonic structure that sends you on a mesmerizing journey throughout the track. the a-side, which is the dub remix, has already proven to be raising hands on festivals and in clubs during this summer all over the world, the b-side attracts the listener with the matchless voice of lana del rey.

*its own course* is a double whammy! jay west and stee downes join forces to deliver a true club bomb with an acid touch. it combines a groovy bassline, impulsive drums and warm rhodes chords that simply reek of hit-potential. the track has a compelling build-up, storming towards an inevitable climax and is shimmed by stees distinctive voice. let yourself be guided by its flow.

akin to deconstruction itself, >the gift< symbolised the credible mid 90s dance hit. surrounded by a fog of cheap commercial fodder, way out wests roberta flack-sampling crossover anthem shone like a beacon, reaching the top 15 of the uk singles chart in 1996.
kicking off the new package is way out wests own 2010 remix. toughening up the original break based drums and adding a few new synth lines is all wow needed to do to breath a second life in their ubiquitous track.
