dirt crew welcomes dampe

hand-stamped white label release.

mos recordings kick off 2019 with better dead than alien, a new ep from asok.

northern dj & producer asok returns to lobster following a 1.5 year break from the grind, getting right back in the deep with four deep, brooding club-hitters featuring those trademark ricochet hats, undulating grooves and alien-esque doomed interplanetary atmospheres.

edmondson first came to my attention with his lobster theramin distributed release, flamingo tripper, on his own label lissoms. or so i thought. turns out he was actually a guy who used to serve me in one of my favourite pubs in newcastle. back in those days he was a dub step / drum and bass kid, and as per the trend with all of those guys, hes now showing the house heads how its done, with a much keener feel for sound design, groove and a better ear for a sample than 90% of us lazy people who cut our teeth on a 4/4 beat. edmondson (or sean as i did know him and how i know him once again) is really one of the most exciting producers out there right now for me, and i couldnt be happier that weve reconnected and hes kindly allowed me me me to present some of his amazing music. we have love is an instant classic, and psg is a work of pure emotive art. to remix we have love, ive enlisted dauwd (fresh from his amazing album on technicolour). sean suggested him, and i jumped on the suggestion as he was one of the first people i met when i moved to berlin 4 years ago, and ive been trying to figure out a way of working with him since. he takes a we have love down a kind of more delicate and steppy route. its very pretty, but also really makes you want to dance. to remix psg i asked asok. again, i thought i first met asok about 7 or 8 years ago, when he came and played for a party i used to throw in newcastle. after becoming good friends over the years, we got chatting and it turned out that we were both in magaluf in 1998, and may have actually been involved in the same street brawl. thats not something either of us are proud of, but its definitely food for thought. i’m biased, but i think his remix is my favourite thing he’s ever done, and i love everything he’s touched musically to date, so thats probably an even bigger endorsement than it first seems. his version is big.

three years in, blackhall & bookless jaunt label is becoming a serious force for forward thinking, fractured techno exploration. on this split ep with chad, the duo take the a-side and present two different versions of links. the battle rework is a tense and dramatic tumble through dub techno soundscapes, while the bleak remix pares the elements down to a more focused, minimalist thrum. chad presents a wholly different vibe on the flip, using rich, warm synthesiser tones to draw you in to afters, and then scenery regular asok takes up remix duties on the track with an immersive version that borders on breakbeat.

the second volume of the bld remixed series is here. once again, original tracks previously released have been revisited by artists that support the label since the beginning. in such good shape nowadays, oliver deutschmann delivers an outstanding remix of acid on mars pushing the limits of warehouse techno & jackin house faded with warm & hypnotic detroit chords and space-pads. as the name indicates, minneapolis legend freddy fresh delivers an ethereal mix of before deep full of nostalgic dreamy synths reminding us of his 1995 return to phantazia vibes. last one is coming from prolific asok bringing a raw and banging rework of be apart based on 808 electro beats & breaks combined with a crunchy bassline.

hot on the heals of his ethereal, raw & scrunchy ep for the lobster theremin main label, stu robinson aka asok returns with a quick fire reply via lt sub-label mörk.
applying a similar template of contradictory elements, cobbled into a melded, half-melted mass of aquatic techno, proto-rave and depth-charged deep house, inner circle is the transformation complete. a step into the unknown without a shadow of doubt.

special backstock action , after eps on m>o>s recordings and his own well formed scenery label, liverpool producer stu robinson aka asok now steps up with a solo release on m>o>s deep. with an analogue sound full of nostalgia, emotion and subtle shades chicago, he perfect fits on this most considered underground label.

after what feels like an age of phone-based negotiation and northern barneys, asok finally joins the lobster fam proper, blasting down from the icy territories and bringing the cold winds of uk rave of yore to the front of the queue.

nice price deal !!! a mind forever voyaging, due out spring 2016. featuring ten tracks of macho yet melodic, tender yet tense analogue house and techno, it is a continuation of the fine work the scenery records boss has done for labels like m>o>s and mistress in the last few years. something of a late starter, robinson has fomented his own mystical, nostalgic, inventive analogue sound that makes you jack, as well as conjuring real emotions with his great knack for melody. this album was recorded live then edited down.

as an introduction to his upcoming debut album a mind forever voyaging liverpool artist asok brings a teaser for what to expect. full album out late april.

special summer deal! perfectly merging detroit & uk techno heritage.

liverpool based scenery records has long championed artists and producers from in and around the city. framing the labels sound with the talent on offer in merseyside. the parent label has released eps from the likes of john heckle, bantam lions, binny and label boss asok. it is label boss, asok, who shares this first release with the london based stalwart neville watson, christening the introduction of scenery white with aplomb and a sympathetic step away from the scenery output to date. asok and neville watson supply two tracks each, produced exclusively on outboard equipment and split over each side of the ep

belgian producer joris biesmans (aka cashmere* and benn lian) delivers a counterweight to the fast food music that ram-raids its way into todays mainstream consciousness, with a project named tve - the virtual escape indicating his urge to escape from todays data-saturated, musicas mass-industrial-product environment. musically, tve aims for an aesthetic ambush incorporating strange & self-made hardware instruments, tape machines, non-standard structures, atonal abstraction, noise, distortion and randomness - openly embracing imperfections instead of smoothing them out with calibrated presets & templates. to this end, tve has brought two masters of this approach on board for the labels debut ep and with creme organization alumni legowelt and asok bringing forth their own inimitable style on remixes of biesmans delightfully askew original productions. keep an eye out for more engaging oddities on future tve releases to come. early support from: massimiliano pagliara, tim sweeny, ambivalent, lando
