mit ihrer formation chic und hits wie �dance, dance, dance�, �good times� und �le freak� mischten nile rodgers und bernard edwards in den späten siebzigern gehörig die internationalen discofloors auf. wie keine andere band verstanden es chic, die essenzen von rock, funk und disco zu einem schweißtreibenden, endlos goovenden und gleichsam cool eleganten mix zu verbinden. das ergebnis war ein unvergleichlicher, stets wiedererkennbarer sound, der bis heute unzählige bands nachhaltig beeinflusste.
erstmalig im vinyl-format erhältlich, bietet der nun vorliegende, exzellente konzertmitschnitt �le freak live� ausgewählte highlights von ihrem letzten (reunion-) gig (tokyo / budokan 1996), bei dem sie zudem von ex-guns n� roses gitarrist slash, der vocalgruppe sister sledge sowie stevie winwood (auf der hendrix-coverversion �stone free�) unterstützt wurden. zugleich dokumentiert diese veröffentlichung tragischerweise den letzten auftritt von bernard edwards, der nur kurz danach in tokyo verstarb.

well, this is different� fourth kind the self titled mini album on omniverse records. it�s hard to pinpoint a genre with records like this, produced by marc mac of 4hero and similar to some of the 4hero output, it defies genre and fits somewhere in-between many. the production is heavily reliant on synthesisers and vintage drum machines in places but is full of real life and organic movements, this is partly down to the signature drums played by luke parkhouse. the only other guest spot is filled by nu jazz funker pascal strauss aka luman child who plays bass guitar on �take me to your sky� which along with �afterglows� are the closest we get to dance tracks, in most parts a 70s fusion feel is present. the short interlude type tracks are just as important and i would go as far as to say vital to telling the story. moogs, arps and solina strings weave patterns throughout, all in all, across the 10 tracks the album is a journey of mood and emotions. 180g pressing.

k.a.c.z.m.a.r.e.k�, from the title to the sounds, is intended to be a more personal project for paul ritch � indelibly closer to the confluences of sounds that he hears embodying the spirit of kaczmarek. he drives the mind�s eye deep into the inner-ear with the album�s spacious opening tracks, only to leave your head bobbing with the extraterrestrial rhythms that emerge as the main body of the album. moody and foreboding, loaded with the scattered, staccato and broken beats, more ovular than linear in composition and ranging from vaporous-ambience to hyperventilating grooves, the nine tracks on this album defy categorisation. the �k.a.c.z.m.a.r.e.k� album will give the listener a deep well to return to. the vinyl release will be a fittingly rare issue � only 100 numbered copies are going out, while digital releases will run parallel. keeping with the dark and cryptic theme of the first releases russian artist, sasha sime, is back for his third kczmrk cover design

mps is proud to be able to offer you xray xperiments vol 2 (xray 003) as a limited edition two disc set for the best reproduction and your listening pleasure. here s a quick breakdown of the tracks, why i like this record so much and a chance to hear it in full if unfamiliar: i first came across this 6 track ep in selecta-disc, northampton, it has been a treasured record in my collection ever since. on the original issue the most popular track, take no chance, was located last on the a side, the lowest sound quality part of any vinyl disc. later, presumably for dj s, a louder cut remix single of take no chance was issued. the track featured again on the compilation classic to the core but sourced from vinyl as aphrodite, who compiled the collection, did not know who made the music so they could not be found

we could say that with this sixth studio album anthony joseph is back to his roots. indeed, it was recorded on his native island of trinidad. but it is more of a continuation, of a culmination. as the caribbean music has strongly infused the music of anthony since its inception. this album entitled people of the sun is a tribute to port of spain (pos), this bubbling port, meeting place of many cultures and a door open on south america. this energy is found throughout the album with many stars of the island (3 channel, brother resistance, ella andal, boogsie the king of steel pan) and pays tribute to rapso, a mixture of protest poetry and soca / calypso created in the 80�s. as always the verb remains in the spotlight with anthony joseph.

they say we are a product of our environment, you are what you eat and you reap what you sow. but what happens when you can no longer dig the earth and your food is toxic? amselcom has forever been near the forefront of change, exposing new ideas and giving insight through music and creativity. our goal was always to bring the world closer by removing barriers and letting sounds and rhythm demonstrate humanity�s true, loving nature. that is why a transformation has taken place and with this latest release we hope to give back and contribute without the shallow, meaningless compensation that feeds the music industry. geplantes nichtstun demonstrates this concept perfectly, by saying it is time to remove ourselves from the machine and make our own way, in our own time. these tracks look to offer introspective that can only be found after eliminating barriers like money and fame. taking time for idleness lets us forget about the things that try and control our lives, a necessary respite in a time of increasing global noise. tracks like opak offer the perfect accompaniment to a quiet time of soulful reflection and mario wagner�s wonderful control room image brings us the idea of self direction and taking charge of your own destiny� one rest at a time.

gabriella vergilov returns to the label s vinyl arm with a set of distinctive hardware techno reuminations to send shivers down your spine. termosfera strides in confidently with a grinding mechanical synth hook that subtly shifts around the 4/4 drum pattern like all the best wormhole techno should. siempre loco is a sparser affair that focuses on space and poise, using minimal ingredients for maximum effect. boring shit bucks against the suggestion of its title to fire off a set of rhythmical cycles that feel indebted to the vast outer reaches of space. detroit hero t-1000 runs with this idea and pings the track into a particularly funky star system somewhere very far away from planet earth.

** limited 2018 repress ** we have taken a little while to develop a new technology, encoding a so called hypnotising agent into both vinyl and digital tracks. this agent will activate automatically on any club sound system past midnight and set your crowd in a dream-like state. experience of one-ness, euphoria and spiritual transcendence are welcome side-effects. enjoy our new thoroughly dancefloor-tested mountain people release.
