aus music continue to bolster an ever expanding roster in uncovering an adroit and overlooked producer - the dublin born producer timothy blake. in amongst those in the know, blake is an artist whose reputation reaches back over 20 years and one whose releases have touched the likes of dirt crew, fatty fatty phonographics and kleine reise.

after seducing the likes of optimo, horse meat disco, rub n tug and bicep with their floor-friendly reworks of classic disco, funk and electro, the lads over at fatty fatty phonographics are expanding their repertoire with their first 12 inch of original material.

with releases on dirt crew, klein and soon fatty fatty, irishman timothy blake drops a 4 track ep on lectric sands that ranges from dancefloor friendly house with disco connotations to really different sounding, weird shit -according to a jet-setting dj. hand stamped white labels

following 2013s fantastical heat crime, tim further explores his unique take on house music with two original tracks which make stylistic nods to the past but lead us elatedly to a place of uncommon and personal vision. on the a side we have squiggles, a late night piece of tentacled whimsy. a joyful frolic in a fishy stream under the stars and in the japanese garden of your soul.

love, murder, passion…in the heat of the night what is unresolved comes to the fore. after our maiden voyage into the unknown last spring, on our continuing expedition we find ourselves entering into the fantastical world of a bedroom jockey with a sublimely over active imagination.

collaborations are often the fortune of timing. with andy having moved on since closing the dissident label to launching his cave paintings project to tim s departure from battant and striking out as andrew weatheralls engineer and soon to be co-member of the asphodells, an alliance was born between the two to undertake a series of live jam sessions at eachs respective studios. a love of new wave, new beat, uk bleep and detroit techno all feature in b-ultras and the aptly titled, neu beat. both cuts are heavily soaked in the pitch black, smoke machine funk and strob-laden fug of andys (and co-hort joe hart) infamous world unknown dancefloor. running at around 10 minutes the tracks are essentially an examination of acid houses ideals. clattering hats, throbbing basslines, stabbing keys and doses of 303. keeping it pretty simple but all about a pure groove on and on. backing these up is a remix of b-ultras from jamie paton that accentuates the groove and drags the acid deeper down to some b-boy dub throwdown - with more to follow from all protagonists in 2014.
