nice price deal !!! second single from the time and space machine. the time and space machine was conceived in 2008 as a sound that solidifies richard norris decades of collecting, releasing and writing about psychedelic music. the you are the one ep opens up with lead title track, which is a slow jam cosmic bliss out. mushroom family adds a touch of 70s sheen and evokes a trip in a field of joy with the sun shining down. more cowbell takes things in a more dancefloor, groove driven direction, which leaves the listener wondering which trip richard will be taking on for the rest of the album
uk house veteran phil asher arrives on rekids with the latest project in his storied career, a collaboration with emergent london poet & musician james massiah. having chanced upon him a performance during a fiona bevan presents night at dalstons servants jazz quarters, asher immediately approached massiah about a possible collaboration: as soon as i heard james i knew i had to work with him. his poetry is infectious, textured & interesting. time & space took years to imagine but 25 minutes to write. it took james approximately the same amount of time to lay his poem down. asher approached matt edwards with the results, and the time & space ep was confirmed for release on rekids: two original cuts of futuristic house emboldened by massiahs electrifying street poetry, and a reprise version of the title track which steps away from the dancefloor to bring the lyrical content into sharper focus
THE RETURNING (PRINS THOMS / TIME & SPACE MACHINE RMXS)
12 Inch 09.10.12
downtown party network from lithuania have been behind some serious releases and remixes over the last few years. combining disco influences with a knack for crafting weighty and warm deep house of the highest order… for their iib debut they have produced a duo of dreamy, melodic and irresistable vocal house gems which stand tall in their own right. as ever, the iib team have drafted in some seriously heavyweight remixers. veteran uk producer richard norris aka the time & space machine has delivered a truly superb rework of >the returning<. bringing the live elements of the track to the fore and unleashing a dazzling eyes closed on the dancefloor moment, and a bit of a classic in our humble opinion! finally scandanavian disco legend prins thomas takes on the same track and transforms it into an epic, spacious mix, underpinned by a widescreen acid bass and relentless, building groove.
surprising release by gerd on the basement series with an old classic themed techno track he found on a dusty dat tape while archiving some old recordings. somehow a traditional techno track with metalic basslines, stellar string sounds and retro futuristic vocals with a classic theme... time & space. the original slower paced version did get an reshape/makeover that gives it a 2011 update that will be a standard record in the box for many! remixers on duty are rotterdams duplex duo who are back in business and deliver two remixes. timeless tracks that will stand out between all dj tools!
mark grusane and mike cole are better known as the owners of mr peabodys records (store) in chicago. this track was taken from the primitive house trax cd they put out in small numbers. this early nineties track very much reminds us of the true chicago house sound… raw and sweaty! this will be available as a special limited edition.
world-renowned horn player mats gustafsson teams up with joachim nordwall to create their power reached across space and time- to defy them was death- or worse- an avant-garde masterpiece.
after kicking things off with sean thomas’ (cop envy) the weigh, sydney’s outer time inner space return with a collaborative ep from jon watts, the kind-hearted, go-to sound engineer of the sydney club and experimental music scene and otis label owner, hugh burridge (aka hubert clarke jr). as resident djs for otis’ sweet echoes parties and guests for some of sydney’s more open-minded club promoters, jon & hugh have developed their own style of warm up set, largely unrestrained by genre. another view is just an extension of this open approach to club music. there’s an obvious ode to bukem’s good looking records, a lopsided mpc jam that could have been written by a drunk ron trent, a club roller with uk broken beat at it’s heart and a spaced out, dream-scape dub from melbourne mate, rings around saturn (dan white) to round out the ep. the common thread, they’re keeping it deep.
house music luminaries and dance music evangelists seth troxler and the martinez brothers are proud to present the first release space & time on their new label, tuskegee. a label of cultural heritage, expect some very special releases to come in the ensuing months.
part ii ? axis audio. mokira once told kontra-musik that three analog tape echoes are needed to produce one mokira track. when listening to the track axis audio you can hear why. metallic bursts of sound hits like waves on an irish shore in autumn. kept together by a solid bassline and a fragile melody axis audio is an excursion in beautiful sounds. on the b-side, echospace (deepcord, modern love) makes you dance. it is distorted, it is minimal, it is raw and last but last not least, it is oh so funky. this track will move dance floors.
40th anniversary edition - newly remastered from the master tapes, with an additional bonus lp of instrumentals and the previously unreleased -narration theme-.

leading up to the release of their next album, tribazik return with the remx ep spacetime collapse, featuring remixes from such electronic royalty as venetian snares. tribazik are no newcomers to the spotlight. having supported influential post punk band killing joke on their european tour and having previously enjoyed reviews from rock sound, kerrang and terrorizer on their last album all blood is red, mixed by andy gill, of gang of four, the band are establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with.
streaking through the ether at twice the speed of sound, mr 8040 is on a date with destiny. he is heading for mikrosector-50, his home planet, but things are not going as smoothly as planned. en route he finds himself in sticky situations, cosmic encounters that trigger flashbacks to a different time and place. will he ever make it home? and who – or what – is he running from?
this, more or less, is the narrative thrust of jack hamills debut album as space dimension controller. welcome to mickrosektor-50 is a swashbuckling sci-fi odyssey that unfolds like some long-lost star wars episode scripted by philip k dick and scored by tangerine dream. the record is fantasy in its purest form: a futuristic boys own adventure concocted in a belfast bedroom, it is the sum of jacks musical influences distilled into 68 minutes of unalloyed electronic pleasure.
edits may be dead, but just when your elitist attitude comes to a head and you think you re on top of your game, there will always be someone deeper, faster and still motivated enough to rekindle your digging desires. where blackdisco volume 10 saw the return of lovefingers and nitedog, volume xi pushes forward into new territory (and with a new aesthetic) by welcoming a group of three deep diggers who shun musical trends and their inherent fakers. dea, albion & spacelex combine their vinyl-mining efforts to unearth some real diamonds from the rough. deas cut malaka is a floater with a funky sailboat vibe, while his complimentary cut taubat takes the tired jungle disco vibe to new level with its triumphant synth-led chorus, an absolute stunner that could be extended for 20 minutes. on the flip, albion spoons water over the coals, steaming up the joint with an uptempo percussion bomb as if santana had a disco secret, and spacelex rides us out with a sexy rock groove complete with mysterious male voiceover, almost as if someone lowered the volume to whisper in your ear.
