madcap back on soul deep. limited hand-stamped 10 inch vinyl.

hot wax !!

madcap - river soul: this iconic track has been sought after for months after being hammered in the clubs by some of the top deejay in the world. the classic drums, are complimented perfectly by a booming 808 baseline, rhodes keys, echoing flutes, and sultry vocals that fit seamlessly into the groove. madcap has created an undeniable groove that will be played for years to come. classic!

madcap and jaybee team up to create the musical masterpiece called “settle down”. the song starts out rather jazzy, with it’s smooth rhodes keys and heavy cymbal riding drum lines. when the song hits the breakdown, the whole tone of the tune changes. the punchy sub bassline is unleashed and becomes one of the driving forces of the track. echoing reggae style vocals are beautifully weaved into the background of the track, transforming the vibe into a reggae/dub style d&b classic. the amen drums also help to create an intoxicating energy that make this one a sure thing for dance floor mayhem. instant classic!
“hear comes” takes over where “settle down” left off. the song begins with big amen drums, backed with a reggae style skanking guitar chop. during the breakdown, a thoughtful roots reggae vocal sample is introduced that helps lift the track into a true dubwise gem. when the drop hits, the baseline kicks in and begins to wobble and throb behind all the deep atmospherics. the track has a beautiful breakdown, which takes the listener to a more melodic place. after a moment of serenity, the song breaks back into the chaotic old school flavor, which madcap does so well. this one’s a beauty!!

stefanik ist ein alpha- männchen in seiner spezies, ausgestattet mit jeder menge neugier bewies er bereits in der vergangenheit (bitte discogs wälzen), dass sein antreibender bass mit diamantener strahlkraft von den wänden zurück zu prallen scheint. auch hier funkt und treibt es dynamiken empor die wolken am himmel tanzen lassen

next phuture shock musik banger!

remastered reissue of an italian house/techno classic from 1992, originally released on mystic records (mystic012).

it s not all minimal techno in romania, as the p-balans crew ably demonstrate on this second release from local hero the holy fix. the synths come down thick and gloopy on -the void- before -slagwise- ramps up the horror tones with a perfect distillation of what makes a soundtrack pop off. this is nightmarish disco music in the vein of maiovvi and the like, and it s delivered impeccably. there is a greater focus on club tones amongst the atmospheric fx on tracks & traps though, with -quite vicious- in particular conjuring up a thrilling, madcap romp through buffed up disco techno.

special price ... gerry read & kevin mcphee reunite with *frummppp*, following their 2011 classic *demolition man*.
*frummppp* heads in the opposite direction of *demo man*, swapping he madcap samples for jarring synths. the remix on the flip keeps the jacking and strutting vibe of the original, and ups the deranged sample use.

limited reissue of a very rare and highly in-demand 1986 12 inch from indian ocean, alias of late great disco legend and sleeping bag founder arthur russell. although russells original version on side a is fantastic in itself, the stunning abstract walter gibbons mix on side b is where its all at. with irrepressible madcap gibbons at the helm, the track mutates into a strangely subversive dancefloor odyssey way ahead of its time which still sounds futuristic today. with a raw sparse experimental sound, this progressive sonic journey rolls along for over 10 minutes pulsating with a jazz-influenced interplay of funk-heavy bongos, stabbing synths, off-the-wall vocals and russells trademark cello. one of the great moments to come out of the vibrant art/disco not disco crossover scene of 80s new york - dont miss your chance to bag a vinyl copy of this obscure gem.
