an afro-venezuelan landmark album available on vinyl for the first time.

limited 250 copies! sheffields hopeworks has become an essential melting pot for the cultural and musical future of a city whose electronic heritage has surpassed its industrial one. as creative director & resident dj lo shea, returns to the vinyl arm of this warehouse institution with a blistering new ep expertly programmed modern sonics possessed by the spirit of 90s rave & the uks characteristic bass influence abound here. from the syncopated and undulating a way through to the straight up ravery of mark x on the a side, to the hypnotic tribalism of primitive operations were looking at a crisply crafted modern techno suite of the highest calibre. bristols hodge handles a weighty remix of b1, amping the atmospherics and rounding off an ep of precision club tools par excellence.

>bridging the gap between the old & the new, the minimal & the maximal, minmax represents a widening of scope as we explore the area between the sounds of classic minus & plus 8. as others subdivide and categorize we bring things back together, opening things up more freely and allow a closer connection to the music that i love and the sounds & textures that many of my dj sets journey through.< richie hawtin

(1999) and i want you(2000). he has also recorded with warmup, fieber, rainwaves or shareware records.at the end of the ninetees groof shared quite unusual with oscar mulero: the start of a deep friendship that nowadays brings us wu30 mini-album.
