after over a decade of music on pedigree labels like spectral, nation, m>o>s, and creme organization 2amfm offer their debut lp on bopside. based in ann arbor and raised in the detroit area, d’marc cantu and tadd mullinix are charged by a lifetime of midwestern soundwaves and the reinforcement of contemporaneous area innovators like carlos souffront and traxx. again, they join forces but with this monumental excursion into the ether of their very own techno/house universe. sounds herein are cast from debonair techno funk, rumbling house grooves, italo acid, galactic swing - offering a diverse array that’s perfect for the album experience.

from the shores of the great lakes comes a 3 track floor filler from mi duo 2amfm aka jtc & dmarc cantu. confronting the canons of techno & house head on this 12 takes you beyond the dance. best experienced loud though, preferably in a darkened smoke filled room. a limited vinyl pressing with hand screen-printed artwork.

we had some unfinished business, so after long deliberation her is the return of creme jak! jtc (aka james t cotton) opens this ep with a devastating 70s disco/funk/jak hybrid, hypnotizing crowds with a repetitive funk guitar and throwing them into a jakking frenzy with a steamrolling basskick counterpoint. simply jak-tastic! followed by a silky chicago dub jakker for the comedown and were ready for 2am/fm. or are we? these two cats rave up the place with some of their patented deep rolling chicago-house influenced trax, but spice it up with a thick-slick muddy bassline before erupting like old yeller. top

first class sound between techno and acid
