manchas personal favourite pack tracks on this frustrated funk / sd records split release. kaalslag zuid-holland, pump or drown!

on le rire ep jared wilson (7777 - skudge / detroit) leads the way with a pest chicago-house inspired rework, devilishly and deliciously analog without whittling down to a mere old-school homage, a sort of us-acid-dubstep version of addison groove, with a taste of slacker jak-beat for the nirvana generation! a melodic decomposer, scottish dam mantle (warp - ghostly international / glasgow) deceitfully feigns to mellow with what could at first glance seem like an edit. however deep excavations into the intense choir of >voyage vers l harmonie< leads to a surreal confrontation between a slum village like beat and a post-industrial version of melody nelson. thundery atmospheres, slippery slopes… the best way to pay tribute to luc marianni. famous for his duo as well as his label syncom data, nukubus (bunker / rotterdam) is nonetheless an inspired soloist, as this breathtaking remix once again proves. the 11 minutes long krautrock tunnel leaves many envious of its authenticity and sheer technical virtuosity. this swirling reinterpretation of mariannis work manages to leave the original behind and come into its own. its out of respect for the original work that nukubus requested to be credited only as a remixer. if youve bothered to read the few lines above, please remember it is both easier and wiser to form your own opinion with the vinyl in your own two hands. please note that the distribution of these eps will be accompanied by some very limited original editions of luc mariannis vinyls

aardvarck comes with >gloom<, an offshoot of his highly successful >bloom< imprint. >gloom< is the second split effort between aardvarck and dutch beatmaster kubus (opgezwolle, top notch). it features aardvarck on an oldschool techno vibe with deep and greasy beats plus his signature style breaks. on the flipside kubus delivers three insanely loud and bass heavy bangers. limited white label!

strange but cool electrofied tracks with some weird moods. reminds a bit of old irdial stuff. a 2010 repress with the standard new bunker label and hand stamped on the back

raul mezcolanza returns on the mighty adult label after his dual core ep. trademark grooves with massive drops and cheeky samples, always keeping it funky and driving - this is a real winner!

superb throwback electro sounds of the early noughties on offer here from swiss artist elektrobopacheck, debuting via his self affirming synthesizer music laboratory. this is quite reminiscent of stuff on vitalic s seminal citizen records imprint a while back. highlights being atlantic intertravel and kubusmann calculates which sound similar to the majestic modular tones of japanese telecom or the late night electro funk groove of ride on the waves. sure, he s not trying to re invent the wheel here, but it s all good!

astonishing album by mark du mosch, who delivers his first full length album on syncom data records and it s quite simply overwhelming. in a true detroit fashion mark du mosch rides that fine line between techno, house and disco. that line which guides you to the dancefloor as well as a higher musical and emotional level. with salmiak mark du mosch shows he s not only a great dj, but one of hollands finest producers as well. absolute techno house killer bomb. don t sleep on it.

mark du mosch delivers a classic ep with four very different, but ultimately essential tracks. titletrack >bareknuckle< has _anthem_ written all over it. warm, but pumping techno with a hint of disco and a hook that is simply killing. with the raw, dark technoelectro sound of >monolulu< and >mice vs cat< mark du mosch dives into dusty, pounding cellar soundsystems. >machine lives< takes it in true sd style to an unexpected experimental level with not to miss.

massive trippy techno release by swedish rising star van rivers and it rocks like hell! van rivers worked as producer on the debut album of fever ray (karin dreijer from the knife) and also tours with her live band. his previous releases on stockholm ltd and islands & islets got big support from marcel dettman, josh wink, ryan elliot, joey beltram and this release will surely follow. stretched out on pavement is a deep, punchy and trippy techno piece for the floor as well as the mind, like you may expect from a sd records release. the nukubus remix on the b side takes everything into the pumping techno/electro arena with a soulful, spacey edge to it. both mixes are spot on and will rock many floors. big one!
