‘Battle of Cannae is a dubby roller filled with crisp percussion and meditative warmth. Next up, Battle of Carrhae is a deep 120bpm bass groover with detailed percussion and rich textures that tie the first side together beautifully. On the flip, Stolen Land, a collaboration with Melbourne heavyweight Pugilist, takes things into club territory. Spacious, weighty and rhythmically twisted, filled with polyrhythmic grooves, a few wubs, and gritty percussive drive. Strap in. To close, Battle of Edessa pushes the tempo to 160bpm — a sharp, hypnotic finisher that shows why Big Hands continues to stand out as one of the most exciting producers doing it right now.’

Pure worries from the Harnessed The Storm album, plus three tracks missing from the vinyl version, including the deadly Aquatic Cataclysm.

‘Pure machine soul for late-night heads.’

Two masterful reworks of classic Carl Craig, first released on the Planet E imprint in 1994 and 2001.

Romping-stomping, fuck-this-shit, soulful Detroit house.
Fervently animated by the spirit of Prince, Aaron Carl’s remix is double trouble.

Outsider electro-funk entirely self-produced, designed and distributed by Fushimi himself in 1985, featuring some deadly shamisen in amongst the drum machines and synths.
With a four-page insert including the hand-written comic which came with the original release, plus an English translation.
