bobby van putten s the planty herbs project has been reveling in the edit world since 2010, although his output is frustratingly scattered for those who appreciate his tender touch. now though you can revel in the splendour of a full 12-track, double vinyl album that truly shows what putten is made of. from the mellow soul food of nothing lasts to the laidback hip hop funk of downgrade, the dusty house experiments of akustika to the poppy overtones of follow me now, this is the sound of an artist with a rich musical gift and a soulful instinct.

some might remember the planty herbs from his earlier 7 inch outing on rnt, and now the dynamic dutchman brings his dusty vibes to a 4-track ep of crafty edit selections. family kicks of the pack with a bouncy funk groove, followed by errybodydisco a low-slung house party affair. on the flip we have the flute solo and sample-heavy soundstream-esque stomper today, while whats inside takes us back to the soul side with a boom-bappity cover of a 70s r&b classic.

the 19th release of rue de plaisance is made by our french friends from berlin, arcarsenal. the duo, etienne and alan, have released on high calibre labels such as underground quality and finest hour and also run the excellent record shop in berlin. we were seduced by their unique and personal music and we are proud to release such a great ep which showcases their different sounds from ambient to techno. timeless music for your pleasure.

rewind: 1989. germany is enjoying its own summer of love. thick waves of acid house wash every oompah band out of every sleepy german hamlet and a hazy season of heady parties ensues..

fresh from their remix of jinx *car full of herbs*, bristol/london bass specialists vinyl junkie & sanxion return to asbo records alongside legendary reggae singer bushman with *talk too much*. things get busy from the start on the original dnb version, a tightly packed and weighty amen break welcomes in bushmans thoughtful melodic vocals with dubwise horns and instrumentation recreating that timeless reggae vibe at 170bpm with snatches of bleeps and pads that hint at vinyl junkie & sanxions oldskool hardcore/jungle history. dj westy on the remix fattens things up bringing the bass to the front for a real sound system smasher. the 140 remix retains the main elements of the original with added dirty bass and half time drops perfect for festival season, guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser for fans of breaks reggae and that early rave sound.

this new strand release on lowriders, maleza is a very personal take on bass music, juke, west coast hiphop, jamaican music, prepared pianos, old detuned synths, odd time signatures and huge live reverbs. the idea of the record came when i was going through a lot of personal struggle and i was not able to get out of it. in the same period i decided to run in the woods near my home early in the morning. i ran every day, and ran and ran. eventually i got out of my problems. so i left the maleza away. this is a very personal record, each sound has a deep meaning about me and my loved ones. maleza means bad herbs, weeds, undergrowth in spanish.
