a club in the parthenon basement where you cant see in front of you, you lose yourself as the antipodean heat beat surrounds you. this is the latest imagination of melbourne-based band leader nicolaas oogjes. marrying into a greek family (his wife contributes spoken word on two tracks), oogjes became fixated with hellenic culture and its impact on humanity, prompting his rotating cult of collective consciousness musicians no zu to spiral deeper into their celebration of global rhythm and percussion. their even weirder, sparser and more synth driven sound is the result of creative exchanges with home loan records ceo michael ozone, who helped them realise the strange and complete world of medusa music.

the second chapter for bizarro group zanzibar chanel, the yin-yang collaboration of agitated force zac segbedzi aka imhotep and cooled out louis cl. raw nrg captured on the fly in melbourne, the sequence of these diy productions reflect their dynamic equilibrium. on the a-side, drunk at the jazz club lays down some lo-tech disco with submerged symphonic keys and the squelching demented valentine one question. flip the record donald duck invades the elevating chicago melodies of flying high - mustnt evolves pure evil extraterrestrial funk (shout outs to dungeon master possee).

peel back the leaves and discover erskine falls, an exotic paradise of flotation tank funk and ethno groove with a capital g. produced by melbournes andras fox, the 4-track ep follows an instant sell-out on dopeness galore and captures the rbma graduates contagious bounce and optimistic minimal melodies. based around the tr-606 and digital korg m1 drums, these original tape recordings are simultaneously contemporary in sound and difficult to carbon date, slipping comfortably between 80s bruton music, rheji burrell and dam funk. dunk your head in and chill.

total control dislocate expectations with this inaugural home loan records 12 inch. not the charged up paranoid vox/guitar/drums combo that we have become accustomed to through their visceral live shows - instead men with machines producing pensive proto-tech experiments and tense industrial wave. includes the original version of carpet rash which was re-recorded in full band mode for henge beat, and two previously unreleased immersive rhythm tracks formed through collaboration between guitarist mikey young and drummer james vinciguerra. vinciguerra would fire deranged beats down the hole while young would jam over them, watching waves in a trance from his perch at phillip island. on the flip we find two reconstructions from home loan manager michael ozone. carpet rash receives the club re-contextualisation with ozone fully utilising its penetrating synth hook, while new age hop climbs the arabic scale.

saigon supersound brings the 2nd part of their journey through south vietnamese music from 1969-1975.

back in 1995 while living on the west coast, at the peak of the rave experience, dj spun and dhyan moller recorded a bunch of live tracks, without any sequencer, all direct to cassettes. spun aka jason drummond, reached out last spring after rediscovering all the cassettes and asked us if wed be interested in releasing some of the tunes. jason shipped us the cassettes and after a good transferring session, we decided we had to release all the tracks under a 3lp set. this stuff is fire. we still love dj spun and dhyan moller!

what started as an idea 5 years ago now becomes reality with the release of saigon supersound vol.1, compiled by jan hagenkötter. a compilation about the story of a musical era in vietnam that was almost lost, made of tracks from 1965 to 1975, the so-called golden music period in the south of vietnam, where under difficult circumstances – a lively pop culture had developed. this period is characterized by the fusion of vietnamese music with western pop music. the compilation includes some tunes reissued for the very first time since they ve been released originally.

there arent many artists that can lay claim to having put out records on labels as divergent as rough trade and john talabot’s hivern discs. perhaps this is because few artists express such genuine diversity in their musical tastes and creative explorations as david kitt. since the turn of the decade as new jackson he has mined a seam of driving, ghostly house to run parallel with his solo strand of ambient folk electronica. his debut release in 2011 the night mail on pogo channeled early record collection heroes aphex twin and orbital through to drexciya and projekt pm but had one foot firmly in the 21st century beaming in like some futuristic cyberballad. on the flip side hussle free had that mix of house and boogie sensibilities with dark and dusty synths and vocoder that would become a signature. this was followed by acclaimed releases on hivern, permanent vacation, major problems, apartment and most recently cin cin. his debut album set for release on all city in may was recorded in kitt’s bedroom studio overlooking dublin bay, its nocturnal hues very much a product of the nightshift often working on headphones with the rest of his housemates fast asleep. it takes full advantage of the scope of the lp format, ebbing and flowing between deep house club ready gems and more restrained and meditative beatless moments for the morning after. the recording process yielded many eureka moments with kitt finally nailing sounds that had hitherto proved elusive. a key moment was getting a bank loan to buy an sp 1200 sampler

bedlam isrc – asylum limbo, psychotic sock draw and raving halfway-house ... some truths – man as samovar, staunch somnambulist, man as memory…aural yves klein seas sluiced from a flotilla of ohm-loan bugbrand & electro-harmonix vessels ... a sound accrued by loitering long at skipjack tables & tape duplicating plants ... the joyous melancholy seeping from this lps patched folk o ertones has been a reassuring cloak for me since its porous ones & twos dripped into the mm inbox. an album you can wear whose universal backstory is told deftly via these gilt-edged electronic daubs without sugar-coating – there is none of this soundtrack to a film yet to be made clotting up the ear canals…a basking shark of an album that gently filters the ill from the krill. some truths are bigger than others.

the 7th sccucci manucci ep kicks off in moustache curling style with a scandinavian slice of four / four action from tarjei nygard. on loan from his own untz untz records, tarjei nygard weaves his way way through beautifully recorded synth bleeps and bass lines on togo, culminating in a piano breakdown which will have any party reaching for the lasers. the scandinavian vibe continues as dane brian logstrup comes correct with the classic slab of deep house sound that is i can dowhilst we return to the uk and the sounds of london producer mella dee whose uk garage and bass influences shine through on the peak time monster love is. last seen debuting on buzzin fly, alex blaxx rounds off proceedings with the wonderfully insouciant house of its a race thing

jmx makes his second appearance for us after his remix on the atapy ep last year. also known as one half of belfast duo jet project, jmxs solo project takes influence from everything from old mood ii swing records to modern day bass music creating a raw sound that is completely his own.
we have got a few remixes on this one: first up is krl, on loan from the excellent wolf music, with a deeper take of >on u<. moscows s.k.a.m. turns in a remix ahead of his debut ep for us in july (more on that soon).

finally! after months of struggeling with crappy pressings and lousy vinyl, at a moment it seems sure some vicious demon put a spell on us and we almost have abandoned hope of ever releasing it, we dare to swear: dnp 8 by matthew styles will see the light of day now!
