new ep by dott

remastered versions

repress , strong contender for dance record of the year- red rack’em’s incredibly wonderful and fantastically wonky, disco banger, was rereleased on classic this year. after a few months of slowly embedding itself in people subconscious, it returns with new mixes. first up in the marvellously talented kink - strahil is no stranger to classic, having made a stamp on the label many years ago with his remix 3rd face. he s gone from strength to strength with his productions which have been accompanied by his glorious live performances. kink goes in, heads down with some proper techno wonk. this is indeed a beast. on the flip luke solomon joins forces with bristol’s very own eats everything and lord leopard, creating a bristol “circle of three.” the luke eats leopard edit adds a slight bit of conformity to the drums and the arrangement, without taking out too much of the wonk but taking it ever so slightly into “house “ territory. overall this is a monstrously wonky package - and just in time for xmas too.

repress ... it s been a busy 3 years since danny berman aka red rack em released on his own bergerac imprint. since then he s toured relentlessly, released a whole album of live music based disco/punk funk for sonar kollektiv as hot coins, managed to completely update his biggest track in love again to make it a hit the second time around plus released spaced out, wonky party smashers on wolf music, phonica, city fly and telefonplan. while all this was going on bergerac was largely on ice but now berman is turning his energy back to the label with a vengeance.

food music welcomes a1 bassline to the label to release his first lp - technicality. the album’s title draws from the club night “technicality”, a monthly drum & bass night at herbal in east london, which is run by chris inperspective and continued the sound of early reinforced and metalheadz records as well as pushing new forward thinking music. the album is centred around growing up as a teenager discovering this jungle/drumfunk sound through his college friend rahim (lab creation), where the likes on fold, ben ufo, breakage would attend the club. in addition to well received records on dirtybird, pets recordings and his collaborative work with leon vynehall as laszlo dancehall, the album is a stamp on a1’s sound and his influences from his teenage years to growing up and discovering house and techno.

christian viers is fast becoming a prominent name on uk underground house and techno circuits, either as part of lazlo dancehall alongside leon vynehall or his long running a1 bassline project. techno-focused releases on his own label, source unknown captured the attention of the ears behind the newly formed fina white resulting in the bad timing ep, which the label state is a strikingly clear indication of the distinctive direction they plan to take moving forward. title track bad timing is a straight up techno banger whose menacingly melodic low-end tones, relentless thump and rolling toms are the driving force behind its robust and looming groove. without time is a similarly complex percussive cut, but with its jungle inspired arabic horns, trancey synth-lead breakdowns and acid squelches, whilst uk house veteran nail offers a more direct 4/4 take on the track with his typically classy remix.

nofitstate return with four tracks from hot talent a1 bassline whose reputation has been building of late from a succession of releases for the likes of dirtybird, get physical and gruuv amongst others. here hidden agenda finds the young producer in true devastating form. skippy percussion, a nod to the uks garage scene, vibes the track along nicely whilst the bass does the damage. burnt out piano island delves deeper, acting as a neat counterpoint to the more main room agenda. here the style is much more nuanced with a more hypnotic leaning. outsider picks up the pace against, albeit in a subtle, uplifting vibe with warped pianos and razor sharp percussion. t moe p rounds things off nicely with a moody bassline driven groove.

love or hate his infamous twitter beefs there is no denying the legendary status of this house music vanguard. with 20+ years of djing and producing under his belt, this is dj sneak s first release on exploited: a collaboration with murk (oscar g and ralph falcon). back in 2003 murk released dark beat - a track that topped the billboard dance charts and became the underground smash of the year. a few months ago we asked sneak for a remix by mail but we didn t get a reply. after 4 months he suddenly popped up in our mailbox, apologized and said that he finally had some studio time. in the end he sent through some tracks to see if we like them. the rest is history as you re probably listening to one of the tracks right now. this quirky and funky house track (a 10 minute journey) is only the tip of the ice berg though.

spell pets backwards to get step. spell step forwards to find pets going back to basics. step is the new concept label from the founder of pets, catz n dogz, that highlights the rawest forms and root functions of quality club music. step finds the fundamental groove with under-the-radar house and techno that is isnt afraid to be rough around the edges. step is limited promo, zero hype, and all about the music. each new step will be released every three months on vinyl...

a kenny dope gonzalez remix should not be ignored. as one half of masters at work, kenny’s production & remix credentials are unquestionable. here kenny is let loose on one of the hottest records around. trademark remix, dub, beats and tool from the dope man all straight from the board to 1/4 inch tape. remixed, produced, mastered and cut with care & precision from one of the masters of the trade.

drum & bass legends release the 1st in a series of 10 vinyl album samplers taken from their new album wall of sound.

thomas schumacher: kick ass release. intasound is my fave!

deep shit is brought to you by jack savidge of friendly fires and edwin congreave of foals. deep shit is the newly founded dj collective, promotor and vinyl only record label based in the capital with a celebrity status. the label was founded by indie superstars jack savage of friendly fires and edwin congreave of foals as well as adam parylak. managing to work a glitzy electro pop into their day jobs in the underbelly the trio have a fancy for the deep sounds of future bass music. the debut release from the deep shit label came last year from congreave with the afterhours moody house monster heal, including remix by a1 bassline.

its been a good year so far for a1 bassline, with a string of well thought of releases on dirtybird, his own imprint sourceunknwn and the much touted pets recordings, the home of catz and dogz.this new offing on his own label again phobia, a colab with the fast up coming bobby champs (pictures/hypercolour), is sure to have similar success, on the b side kevin mcphee delivers a dark techno remix.

its another first pets recordings as they not only welcome label debutant, a1 bassline, but also announce the production of their very first vinyl release.

a1 bassline, comes with a new release on his own imprint source unknwn, slur b/w slingback. his latest release >why do you< out on claude von strokes dirtybird, following the huge success of the buoyancy/falsehood ep on the same label, both releases were met with glowing reviews. his musical aspirations originate from genres such as garage, and drum and bass.

south of croydon raised christian sibthorpe (aka a1 bassline) sent over a few things over the last 12 months that really had me paying attention. but it was jessica (j. phlip) ended up being the first one to drop falsehood at the spring dirtybird party in sf which pretty much sealed the deal. it just smashed the room to bits. later on i met christian in person when he helped me do a live radio show at rinse fm in london along with ben westbeech and we agreed there that dirtybird would put these two tracks out.a1 claims to have been heavily influenced by early metalheadz and you can really here it on these tunes. while buoyancy is a smooth pulsing affair that really shines in the deeper mixes, falsehood (which we are re-releasing from a1s tighten up label) really buries the hatched in your brain with bits and pieces of 808s, breaks and house hi-hats all forged together like hot iron.

after several releases on mathematics as contra communem opinionem, cco presents his latest release on the promising new label lux rec. with his impressive ep the secret life of a transistor bassline cco proves us once again his ability to space out and rock hard at the same time. what more do you need? this journey starts off in the sewers of a miserable city on the western hemisphere and takes us higher until we freely float in space. as we move at the speed of light but with no perception of time, we eventually land on planet venus. this is where jack inserts his pleasure plug into the acid machine and sets off a dirty romp. in our quest for the secrets of life, we thereafter push boundaries further and explore even far away galaxies. always bearing in mind the infinity of time and space.

next sure shot by electrixx brings us >my pill< and >my bassline<. yay!

this is the track that has been burning down the house this summer, this is punk-funk techno ... this is >fables and fairytales<. a deep, dark and wonderful cut of distorted house music from adam marshall and nicholas murray under the alias n/a featuring the voice of rosina… a creation that touches the heart, body and soul with an intensely passionate sound, producing one of the best crosstown rebels releases yet.
from the vocal chorus so hooky and cool - to the kind of bassline you will be humming hours after the club, this piece of lfo tech-funk brings adonis, the slits and the fatback band into the same room and melts them into one shining gem. falling horns and random stabs, a punk funk vocal that is truly infectious, crosstown rebels #54 grabs you at the beginning and doesnt let go for the next twelve minutes. a faultless anthem for the coming nights…
on the b side, the latest artist signed to rebels, the uniquely talented deniz kurtel, stretches the hook into a dubbed out trip of groove-infused techno. morphing and twisting the ferocious female voice to sensual whispers and heart-felt cries, she works more enchantment into this anthem and builds a serious groove for a dark room.

next rare jackmate remixes..

the dirty one returns on the remix of ac slater. a proper club track with an infectious hooky riff to die for

on remix duties this time we have the mighty drumsound & bassline smith combo. the original was screaming out for a d&b rework and we were more than stoked when they agreed to treat it. they extract the essence of what makes the original so good, making it their own stepping up a gear from 128 to 160bpm and into the future.

groovy electro house tracks with an infectious male vocal plus the really dark bonus track funk revolution (sb)

bassline road, equal parts deep house souldiers (matthew bandy) and community collective (jon nezda), with this new 12 on nordic trax. having already turned a lot of ears on nts 'many shade of house' comp last year, the 'solar drums mix' of 'you will find it' finally gets an airing, with its chunky tribal rhythms, clapping beats, spaced out chords, and deep grooving bass all laying the groundwork for some soaring keys to dominate over. on the flip you get the sumptuously deep original take, with less percussion and more rich chords, and a stellar 'intro/outro' track for adding mixing pleasure
