Your basket is empty
Something really special.
Juddering bangers and hypnotic body-rockers, dazed spells and rootical wig-outs spun from early Detroit techno, West African field recordings, soundboy dub and beatbox hip hop; rough as fuck and clatteringly percussive, but shot through with a gritty numinousness. Stokey worries.
Gorgeously sleeved in midnight-black art-paper, intricately printed in silver with the visionary photography of Katrin Koenning, folded by hand and packed into Japanese cellophane envelopes.
Very warmly recommended, unsurprisingly.
Hackney crew TheTheYouth straight out the gate with a refreshing beat-tape.
Extremely limited.
Limberly pulsating, dubwise and warmly intimate, open to the heavens but twinkling with avian detail, deftly shuffling melody and dissonance, rhythm and pause — and lit up up by the woody, breathy timbres of Clive Bell’s shakuhachi playing — this is life-affirming, smart, deeply pleasurable music, easy to dance to, with everything from Lee Perry to Noh Theatre via Karlheinz Stockhausen and King Sunny Ade in the electro-acoustic mix.
Benjamin Kilchhofer’s artwork peers through the vacuum of space, catching a rare glimpse of the mysterious alien biomes, fossils and silhouettes generated by dwarf planets, asteroids, Kuiper belt, and other trans-Neptunian objects.
Buckle up… needle to the groove… take the tour!
Warmly recommended.
Classic pumping house from 2002. Sleek and classy, with soulful strings. Eight mixes, kicking off with the original Mood II Swing. Original copies.
Classic disco house. Eight mixes, by Spen & Karizma and Full Intention. Original copies.
Thirteen brand new instrumentals from the Newham General.
Romping-stomping, fuck-this-shit, soulful Detroit house.
An Aaron Carl remix doubles the trouble, fervently animated by the spirit of Prince.
Stone classic Detroit techno. Cosmic, fierce and free. Still thrilling.
Utterly essential.
