massive dubstep ep

heavyweight vinyl

jabu remixed by jay glass and skrs.

repress - threads is the debut album from london producer om unit, to be released on civil music in november 2013. while this is a debut full length for om unit, real name jim coles, it is in fact the producers fourth studio album, following from work in the 2000s under the name 2tall. having reset the clock on his artistic output in 2010, coles has spent the past three years refining a unique sound as om unit via collaborations with machinedrum on planet mu, releases on goldies metalheadz, dbridges exit records and civil music, his own cosmic bridge label and the short-lived phillip d. kick alias that fleshed out the links between chicagos footwork, jungle and slow/fast. the confluence of all this work takes full flight on threads.
comes as double vinyl with download code included.

nachpressung von 1979 mit extrem rarer, südafrikanischer disco-funk-fusion.
obwohl die movers während der siebziger in den townships südafrikas eine große nummer im disco-sektor waren und am laufenden band höchst erfolgreich zahlreiche schallplatten veröffentlichten, ist die formation heute nur noch spezialisten wie den experten bei soundway ein begriff. den londoner archivgräbern um labelchef miles cleret haben wir nun die nachpressung der erstmals 1979 herausgebrachten lp -kansas city- zu verdanken. die bietet exakt den sound, für den die movers seinerzeit berühmt waren, nämlich eine zündende fusion aus funk, disco, jive und marabi, einem etwa 1920 in südafrika entwickelten genre, das afrikanische musikstile und afroamerikanisch geprägten jazz verband. das line-up der movers wechselte häufig. an den aufnahmen der sechs stücke auf -kansas city- waren jabu sibumbe, l rhiko, lloyd lelosa und sankie chounyane beteiligt. die produktion verantwortete david thekwane.

nice price deal !!! after the blunted murk of their previous self-titled mini-album on idle hands, amos jabu childs and sam neek barrett return to the place where their most fragmented ideas manifest in fleeting glimpses of tracks. theirs is a teasing approach, where all the facets of a fully formed track are condensed down to one or two minutes of distilled excellence.

idle hands has been broadening its reach both sonically and geographically this year, turning to ambient electronic dub with portland’s strategy, atmospheric broken beat with london-based leif and stripped down house with german producer matt karmil. this latest ep brings the focus back to bristol with o$vmv$m, the latest project to emerge from the young echo milieu. comprised of neek (commonly found bashing out grime and steppers alongside kahn) and amos childs (of jabu and zhou amongst others), the eight track release marks a step into even more experimental territory for idle hands…

young echo is the bristol, uk based producer collective of amos childs (jabu, killing sound, zhou), cris ebdon (ishan sound, zhou), sebastian gainsborough (baba yaga, killing sound, rei, vessel, flexible ape, panther modern), sam kidel (el kid, killing sound), joseph mcgann (baba yaga, gorgon sound, kahn) and alex rendall (jabu, killing sound).

das bristoler duo kahn & neek, betreiber des bandulu labels, prŠsentieren einen 74-minźtigen dubstep/grime-mix aus eigenproduktionen, kollabos, remixes und heavyweight-selektionen von the bug, mungo s hi-fi, commodo und gantz, musik der young echo collectivekźnstler jabu, chester giles, rider shafique und manonmars, sowie insgesamt 14 unveršffentlichte und exklusive tracks, u.a. von ishan sound, gemmy und lamont. den abschluss bildet kode9 & spaceapes zeitlose ghost town version als statement zur aktuellen unruhe in der londoner nachtleben und clubszene.
