brill spacin summer / groovin house monster...incl rmx by john ciafone !!..sollte nicht nur auf ibiza im sommer funktionieren !!

reissue

after recent excellent techno releases on livity sound and its sub-label dnuos ytivil, as well as a killer dnb releases for rupture ldn & hidden hawaii, forest drive west steps up with something different for appian sounds.

a bunch of bubbling uk deep house players line up on introducing newington, a new label of the same name that is clearly fond of the n16 postcode with vocal house on the menu. ejeca, the irishman earmarked as the next bicep, keeps up his relentless form this year with the opening track robodrum which is a playful shuffling little house number that rotates between stabbing vocal samples and piercing chords. moving south of the irish border, dublin based frank b kills it with trieste a wonderfully warp cut that sounds like it has been recovered from a dust filled dat tape. london types jack fell down take a cleaner, but no less infectious approach on for you whilst midlands type tom flynn rounds it out with the deep and bouncy going on.

support from 2000andone, polder, sebo k, karotte, johnny d, peace division, solomun, lauhaus, boris werner, bart skills, nick curly, gorge aka reclick… dc10 revival 2008 on 8bit!! nick curly and gorge from 8bit records, present the first re-release on the label. the record comes from the italian producer joe montana. joe is a musician from trieste (italy) and still had releases on labels like strictly rhythm or zenith ibiza. this 3 track ep spaced out deep, tribal house with a hint of clicks and great vocals... welcome summer 2008!.

this latest release by the ever impressive trunk records consists of two jazz recordings from 1964. the first four tracks, credited to west indian trumpeter shake keane, are taken from an unreleased acetate belonging to garricks private collection. the final four tracks consist of the shake keane & michael garrick quartettes a case of jazz ep that had a limited pressing of just 99 copies. much like trunks earlier michael garrick release moonscape (which was recorded in the same year), this is indeed obscure 1960s uk jazz. the first four cuts from the untitled acetate are very much jazz of the bossa nova variety. the hastings girls choir feature on the first two tracks and their lush vocals add a cool exotic vibe. tracks 3 & 4 are taken from the flipside of the acetate and were recorded with the gordon langford orchestra. the final four tracks from the a case of jazz ep are freer flowing and keanes trumpeting accompanied by garricks piano makes for some quality early modern british jazz. moody album closer regrets is a stunner and best showcases how well they both compliment each other.
