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

neue ep von time & space machine mit drei neuen tracks plus einem cornershop-remix. zwischen cosmic-disco und beatles psychedelia. auf den plattentellern von u.a. laurent garnier.

top-remix-12inch by tim, chad & sherry, consisting of members of silver jews and lampchop, remixes by ashley beedle (under his dub/percussion-alias afrikanz on marz) and jamie blanco.

the time & space machine aka richard norris is straight out the gates with a second single off his acclaimed >taste the lazer< album. the summery gem, titled >good morning<, comes packed with three stunning accompaniments from leftside wobble, saint etienne and coyote.

when it comes to being a man of many talents, there are few to equal richard norris. dj, producer, musician, a&r man, author and journalist... his is a career of many twists and turns which have always seen him at the forefront of pushing new ideas forward and championing diversity and innovation, be it alongside erol alkan as part of the wizards sleeve, or gone solo as the acclaimed time and space machine.
tirk releases richards debut as the time and space machine in 2010. with the long awaited album imminent, we have decided to do a special single release of one of our favs to preceed, alongside a brace of tasty remixes. >pill party in india< is rich with the energetic twang of exotica carried down a highway of fast-paced bongos and live drums with interludes of blips, wiggles and ghostly soundtrails. absolutely stunning.

psych-y, droning disco aces from birminghams free school duo, backed with mark e and nutaike remixes. coming from a similar angle as caribou or four tet, >unravelling after the lottery< layers droning, almost noisy synths over bass-loaded kicks in a trippy cosmic disco miasmah sure to shock the dance.
mark es remix tames the drones for a more heads-down, molasses jacker arranged with his hypnotic evolutions.

pocket is the snappy moniker of nyc based richard jankovich. as the principal creative mind behind the based electro-pop band burnside project he is not just well versed in top notch original productions but also is an indemand remixer (beck, radiohead, kristin hersh, of montreal, elk city, joanna newsom and many others). his debut release on tirk is the ever-so-tuneful >here in noiseville<. in this first single richard pairs up with steve kilbey from the australian rock band the church. steve adds his thoughtful and emotively melancholic vocal to the classic, quality synth-pop backing track. first up on the remix duties is sister-label nangs favourite german golden boy, justus köhncke. justus takes things on the dancefloor route, by adding bigger synths and some rushent-esque linn drum. both justus vocal and dub versions are included. next up, italian brioski fixates on the groove by adding his slap bass and driving groove.

it might seem odd for a band without a full-length to enjoy this sort of praise. but escort is definitely not your typical band. escort is big. literally. the seventeen-member disco orchestra, founded by producers eugene cho and dan balis, and fronted by lead singer adeline michele, features an incredible cast of musicians who have played with everyone from indie-rock titans arcade fire to avant-classical luminaries alarm will sound. scissor sisters frontman jake shears recently described escort as the >best disco you have ever heard<. he just might be right.

after his recent excursion remixing groove armada, morton sorenson returns to the fold with a stunning little release for tirk titled >the burn down ep.< for those that dont know, morten is in his early twenties and hails from a small fishing village in rural norway. his dad probably spent many years in new york and the records that he brought back encouraged a love of american house and disco on the impressionable morton. >burn down (original)’ is an exercise in uplifting, stripped back house music. less is more here, the vibe stays rich and never loosens its grip. the rhythms skip on top of the beat and the vocal interludes make for a real vivid experience. the lpz remix on the other hand sits back a bit, the rhythms are solidly swung and the vocal appears more affluently in the mix. it feels smooth and definitely cool. to top the package, were served up some chi-town flavours with <owe that 2 u.< sustained strings and a slo-mo shuffle builds, then peels away to a hollowed out organ breakdown. a hauntingly affected vocal and clever edits ensue then drop back into the beat, articulated now by the clack of a tough stacatto synth. in our eyes, a brilliant end to a fantastic package

next up on tirk we have a brand new act, named free school. hailing from birmingham, shoegaze duo andy and steve bring the sunny balearic sounds of summer and the icy kosmiche sounds of winter all in one sweeping hit. free school are maximalist and minimalist all at once.
the band like to compare themselves to caribou, orbital, hot chip, fourtet, and pet shop boys, all pretty good touchstones in our eyes, however it was the sheer gloriousness of their music that had us hooked.
their debut ep features the uplifting and euphoric >ranting and raving< and the 9 minute sound-movie >lemon<. remixes come from richard norris and his time and space machine project (we are going to have to put this guy on the payroll soon) and russian ice cool customer sportloto. free school also appear live (in sheep masks no less) so watch out for them at a venue near you. their debut album is in the pipeline and already sounding good.

following up from the well received neon leon album from summer of 2009, here tirk presents a trio of fine remixes, first up is richard norris in his psychedelic guise for the time & space machine mix, next up is the special extended edit of label favourite tom findlays sugardaddy project, closing up the vinyl package is a marathon 10 minute plus affair from bearfunk regular max essa.

excellent new label from milano ! big love from prins thomas, padded cell, ata, rub n tug, idjut boys,à !! mad on the moon debut release is a classic masterpiece of cosmische music which has been reworked for late night club action by two italian stars of the nu-disco scene (we leave the track spotting to all the collectors and krautgeeks): the love supreme, their version is direct to the dancefloor, but with a slow paced electro rythm and a classic smooth feelingà when the moog solo kicks in you will be sent to space with themà simone fedi, the man who lately sold out on dc recordings, eskimo, and smash hit music has worked a space funk track loaded with analog synth sequencing coup

exzellente retrospektive des kleinen, aber feinen tirk-labels mit 13 perlen seiner historie, darunter tracks und remixes von sugardaddy (aka tom findlay/groove armada), chaz jankel (blockhead-veteran mit seiner hymne im tollen todd terje-remix), space (den franzšsischen space-disco-heroen der 1970 er), the time and space machine (aka richard norris), greg wilson, richard sen, u.v.a. mit ausfŸhrlichen linernotes von rob wood (ex-jockey slut).

the debut release by molly wagger is the single >weekend<. the original mixes a forlorn and melancholy vocal with an uplifting major 7th piano driven backing. to complete the release we also include the live favourite >molly<, an ode to one of the band members cat. all elements are tinged with a grey-skied but undeniably optimistic scottish pulse which makes it all the more an interesting listening experience.
richard norris in his time and space machine guise take things into 12 inch territory with his remix on the flip side. we gave him the balearic brief and true to form that is exactly what he has delivered, a touch of granite and dark edinburgh afternoons mixed with some ibizan post sunset haze.

architeq – into the cosmosperf10.nettirk records recently released the new architeq‘s ep entitled “into the cosmos“, it’s gonna be the last of the ‘color’ series before the album. the whole ep connects lazy jazz/funk with future electronic vibes, definitely a great quality production bringing us warm and smooth feel. would like to emp

the recent time and space machine album released on tirk caused quite a stir. received by fans, press and pundits with a bright glowing prodigiousness, we just had to have one final foray into the 12 inch single department. the albums title track set >phazer to stun< was always a favourite with pulsating krautrock influences, nicely melded with some dirt cheap farfisa organ, freakbeat drumming and (of course) plenty of phazer.

its not often we end up releasing four singles from an album, but with the tuneful love supreme standout track >waiting for the love< we seem to have achieved it. penned with uk based benjamin james smith, (who also delivers the snappy vocal) the track screamed single right from the start. heading up the remix package are two stomping mixes from synth-wizards, chicken lips. dean and andy keep the catchy vocal but overdrive things in the synth department. their vast armoury of sounds and accomplished arrangement makes this mix one to be really proud of.

son of sound aka henry maldonado has been a fixture on his native new york house scene since his first strictly rhythm release way back in 1992. with releases on henry street, emotive and cutting, amongst others, its no surprise to find big apple funk running strong through this, son of sounds three track tirk debut, full of rolling percussion, hypnotic riffs, downtown disco and artschool funk.
