persnickety sounds is here to funk-ti-fy your world!

call it whatever you want. we think of it simply as techno music. deep, raw, mystical and industrialesque music that makes you think about your desires and gives you the illusion of clearing away time and space. having lived in almost all corners of the world, it took nothing more than finding themselves in berlin, a dose of random chance and a barside conversation for irakli and yacoub to figure out they had similar views about music - and so, i/y was born. i/y 001 is a three track intense journey into the depths of techno.

there are two tracks on nottingham producer spares >slacking ep< that immerse you really well in his taught world of bass pressure. kankle is firing tribal house, though its hard to get the measure of how the thud of the kick drum could ever fit under the bass work, and the weekend is a clipped garage pound with serenely oppressive low end

it is the end of the world (again!) and laut & luise gladly welcomes a new artist to the family: on akumal ep - his first vinyl release - christopher schwarzwalder puts together four exploratory, driving and hypnotic tracks. after waking you from your slumber with >keep< (a1), >jakob< (a2) entices you to take a little ride into the sunset. on the flip side, >barely legal< (b1) easily brings you down into the night, while the hidden energy of >das ganze boot auf acid< (b2) will mesmerize you for the hours after the hours, leaving you in a place where time is of no interest.

john heckle (undisputed king of da real scouse house and fast becoming one of the most prolific young techno producers from the uk) deviates ever so slighty from his trademark sound to paddle his little raft down the mersey and run wild with the wolves. the result is epic and mystic (and 100% organic) and opens a doorway into a mythical world of wicker men, hill figures, druids, witch covens and early 90s sunrises off the m25, when ever-e-thing seemed possible. excellent new artwork as well by godspill, who is also into naked chicks that float and stuff. a deadly combination!

first up is lone, recent album recruit to the re-animated r&s, who takes the fake original and makes it very much his own, the wistful strains of >paean< slotting seamlessly into lones seductive wobbly, wonky, early nineties retro-futurist world view, to extremely playable effect. fresh from his own new lonely at the top album duty, lukids rework is a more radically transformative affair, sprinkling his trademark bass heavy hypnotic drum mantras with a suitably warped smattering of fakes mystical twinkles. and as a final a2 bonus, fakes own contemplative coda mix seeks to wring every last drop of ambient goodness out of his utopian original.

echer has been around for quite a while, producing under duffstep & duffdisco to great acclaim he has decided to step out of the limelight and into the shadows. more than a metaphorical manoeuvre, he has already made a name for himself as a manipulator of a cheeky sample and a producer not afraid to add some bombast to the often-linear world of dance music.

continuing their forays into the world of yesteryear grooves unabated, those pesky hell-dwelling lumberjacks are at it again, this time drafting in o boogie and red greg for some disco funk finesse for the smoothest get-downs. o boogie lords it over the first side, leaning heavy on a rich piano hook that hammers lower register chords over an incessant disco tick, while evergreen track >papa was a rolling stone< gets re-versioned in such a floor-burning fashion you will need asbestos boots just to get out alive. red gregs >inner rhythm< plies familiar tropes into a sweet instrumental groove that makes all the right moves.

continuing their quest to unearth deep house gems new and old, vibes & pepper introduce the world to manuel keyz with a killer four-track workout that makes all the classic moves. the strings and keys come in seductive, nocturnal arrangements, while the snippets of vocal come from true soul divas, all atop of bumping garage house funk. the tune that stands out to our ears is >orange love<, replete with sexy saxophone fit for lil louis and dreamy key flourishes that give a considered and wistful tone to the track, but really there is plenty to work with on all four corners of this ep.
