vol 2

aka tph

a little quiet so far this year but now one of the new power generation drum & bass production crews are back with an absolutely sick two part ep that is anything but quiet. michael willer and robert stefan aka body & soul have been busy, very busy creating what is undoubtedly their most explosive release to date on their own nasca records. get ready for a great big bag of awesome!
part 1 lets rip with the title track >shipwrecked<, with an ominous intro it sets the scene perfectly for whats to come with an outrageously horrid bass that snarls and pulls at its lead, snapping at anything that comes close. you d better start running though because when that lead breaks its gonna get you! add a nasty vox and the package is complete. demolition drum and bass that’s ready to take out the whole club!

penthouse penthouse is a duo born out of the la-based crew team supreme. their debut lp ‘cruise control’ lands on alpha pup this february, with features from tony larchmont, carla, love logiq, kingjet and more. right in time for valentine’s day, cruise control is a smooth and sultry 9-tracker of r&b-tinged pop songs. in the short time since the group’s formation, they have collaborated with the likes of djemba djemba, mr. carmack, stwo, chloe martini, marvel alexander & promnite and have been billed with acts such as xxyyxx, sweater beats, salva, and the glitch mob. their music has received support from bbc radio 1, vice, earmilk, and la’s kcrw.

gareth sager, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and the founding member of the pop group, rip rig & panic and head announces the release of his first solo piano album. 88 tuned dreams is an extraordinary affirmation of the liberated punk ideals that have continually inspired gareth sager throughout his career. evoking a liminal world of uncanny yet warm atmospherics, the album is pervaded by impressionistic contemplation, revealing the roots of sager’s early connection to the works of erik satie, frédéric chopin and claude debussy.

looper sind stuart david und karn david. bassist stuart david war gründungsmitglied von belle&sebatian, seine ehefrau karn david (die auch regie bei verschiedenen belle&sebastian videos führte) beschäftigt sich mit multi-media-künsten und animation. so ist „offgrid:offline“ ein konzeptalbum dessen basis das gleichnamige spoken-word-stück darstellt. dessen musikalisches motiv und textliches thema kehrt auch in anderen stücken des albums wieder. looper sehen sich hier wesentlich von der indie-folk-szene inspiriert. das album ist nur auf vinyl erhältlich. das auf 500 exemplare limitierte vinyl selbst kommt in transparentem blau, inklusive downloadcode für das gesamte album und weitere bisher unveröffentlichte titel.

we have been proud to watch the rise of oleg poliakov after he first joined our ranks with datcha musik way back in 2007. since first swearing allegiance to the circus, he has continued to unfurl a refined approach to house and techno that carefully balances a respectful mastery of the classic tropes of the genre with his own instinct for seductive melodic content.

welcome to monkeytown. berlin duo modeselektor returns full force with a new album whose immense energy and club-boiling beats will inject the global dance community.

hailing from the free swinging hills of san francisco, established dj and producer alland byallo has created his own unique sound out of a love for deep, soulful house combined with more edgy techno moments. from his own successful nightlight label he has released a quality catalogue including his debut artist album last year. of course it was only a matter of time until his talents were noticed by poker flat boss steve bug, and the results are this briliant 2 tracker, which also marks alland‘s arrival in his new home of berlin. welcome to town mr byallo! ‚discovaries‘ has a healthy amount of berlin‘s reduced techno affinity rooted within its phasing, growing p-funk waves. tense, moody and of course drenched with attention to detail, this is a grower in the true poker flat style. the sunken, murkier undertones of ‚shipwrecked‘ begin as a darker moment in techno, however gradually unfold and surface into a shining, tripped out afterhours anthem.

stewart walker started his career on the mythical detroit label matrix, did some stuff for force inc, tresor, mille plateaux and minus, before founding persona. we really believe scratched notes is among the very best music he has ever released!

they are from new jersey. they are a trio (well, a quartet if you count parrot shithead). they were one of the lucky winners of 2008 issue of the international nuclear blast myspace contest and they will teach you how to thrash the right way! arrrrrr!

deep quality dub techno tracks in the style of echospace, soultek and deepchord on the styrax sublabel styrax leaves! ltd backstock
