tucked away in a now not-so-quiet corner of south east london, wholemeal have been quietly, unobtrusively getting shit done. wholemeal music’s freshman release hits the shelves this month featuring two cuts from yam records boss tom esselle and a hoofing remix from fellow south-londoner west norwood cassette library. skilfully treading the line between house, techno, and jazz, the a-side, until she spoke is a superlative exercise in light-touc h sampling and devastatingly effective rhodes work. it shuffles then stomps, hypnotises then elates, bringing together disparat e threads to create something for the head and the heart. the title track, garibaldi, maintains the light-touch sampling thread and then takes it to a whole new plane of drum-driven dancefloor detonation. twisting chord hits whirl around a savage interplay between bass and drums before dropping back to an elemental pounding, bypassing the brain and heading straight for the feet. long time wholemeal friend and serious contender for the nicest man in music award bob wncl has very kindly picked up garibaldi by the scruff of the neck, grafted an enormous pair of junglist balls onto it and kicked it screaming across t he dancefloor. this is about as peak-time as it gets. wait for the wall of bass after the second drop, its enough to stop you breathing.

new kanada welcomes londons bob bhamra into the chamber, with this two-track breaker from his west norwood cassette library (wncl) guise. >say what?< is a broken sub workout, with a strong nod to the hardcore continuum. distant alarms, aggressive drums, and deep bass drops make this a floor-killer for all sound camps. >flashlight< is an aqueous solution of damp funk that will resonate the head and drop the lights. gaseous and moody. on the flip is a slow burner remix of >flashlight< by adam marshall - sitting somewhere between tired breaks and acid reggae. 11 minutes of moog.

west norwood cassette library, aka bob bhamra, has been digging through the vaults of his extensive production library, serving up this delightful double pack of gems and nuggets. some of these tracks have been buried deep for a few years, others have been dubplate only for a while, so you are definitely opening up a pandoras box of delights here.

wncl recordings and kevin mcphee have spent many a moon discussing a shared love of mood ii swing, dubplate culture and bobby champs amongst other things. in between times, the canadian young-gun has been honing 4 tracks to present wncl012 – a finely crafted extended play in which mcphee gets his clonk on. >…in keeping with wncls hard jacking groove tendencies mcphee produces four slices of brick hard house that you will be hard pressed to even try and overlook.< (sonic router)

wncl recordings tenth and final release in its 10 inch series is west norwood cassette librarys own coming on strong. the a side original mix was produced by chris simmonds, legend of the uk underground, and recorded at cross section records own house proud studios. the b side remixer should need no introduction. pangaea strips down the original samples to the bare bones and, predictably, delivers the unpredictable.

knowing looks kicked off 2011 for wncl recordings with with his much loved, hard stepping abandoned skip, backed with the acclaimed symphonic masterpiece that was last kiss at the plains hotel. jason hopfner is back again to neatly tie up a busy year at wncl hq, unveilling the classically constructed epic listen to my 45 - described by ben ufo as >lovely. gorgeous. slick. buff etc< … and who are we to disagree. just do what it says on the tin, then flip over for ghost baby - yet another fine example from hopfners rich and varied production cannon, melding super cool minimalism with party breaks. merry christmas from the cassette library!

tribute to larry heard, placed over a stripped down dubstep template on the flip, we present an exclusive remix by prolific dub-techno don quantec (styrax / echochord) who doesnÒt disappoint with a subaquatic groove of enormous proportions. quantec aka sven scheinhammer is a prolific and highly respected producer from berlin who has been releasing high quality house and techno tracks since the mid-90Òs on an array of well respected labels including echocord, styrax leaves, millions of moments and meanwhile. his sub-aquatic grooves span the music of detroit and berlin, referencing the classic sound of basic channel and catching the ears of the main players in various sub genres currently flirting with the crossover sounds of dub techno. quantecs remix of mrs fingers has already received fantastic praise and club support from the likes of 2562, headhunter and brackles, as well as radio play on radio 1, rinse fm and xfm.
