Increasingly interested in making reggae, the Basic Channel duo first recorded with Tikiman in 1995, laying the foundations of Burial Mix.
With Tiki.
Besides Basic Channel and Maurizio, in 1994 Mark and Moritz set up Main Street, for song-oriented, vocal house. This first single whips an Isleys b-line, and features Londoner Andy Cunningham, plus a Chez n’ Trent.
The recording debut of a collaboration between Jordan ‘Jordache’ Czamanski and Ilya Ziblat Shay. Three freestyling chunks of hallucinatory electronica and freaking jazz; plus a sublime remix by Parisian maestro I:Cube, with MT’s wild keyboard lines, distant bells and general insobriety threading a tactile, sunrise-friendly house groove. Tropical jazz-funk for the synthesizer generation. Call it Balearic and die.
Excellent, tastily apportioned EP, kicking off with a synthy dancefloor chugger from Moon’s back pages, and debuting a fresh, desolate Purpleness, in Art Direction.
Top-notch deep house in a limited, one-sided, numbered edition, the flip silk-screened.
In which Actress douses the rejoicing Noah with gallons of water, slips him a stiffener, and pulls him by the marimbas straight onto the dancefloor. Cracking remix.
‘The first collaborative release by Pretty Sneaky and long-time friend and co-conspirator Koldd, aka Norman Levy.
‘Seven themes lysergically weave field recordings of bird calls and wind/water together with pastoral synth lines and resonating modular patches on occasion sideswiped with a bass-heavy thump and stripped back percussion.
‘A mysterious offering for outward-bound heads with lodgings on the dance floor. The sort of thing you might play for your friends after a night out, which blows them to smithereens.’
An astounding compilation of the breakneck Shangaan dance output of the Nozinja studio in Soweto, recorded between 2006 and 2009.
