Beats Vinyl New Releases - News

3024 welcomes a bright young lad from Denmark to the label by the name of Erosion Flow. These three vibrant little nuggets of funk are the introduction to his ambitious Spectrums series. Artwork by Erosie (no relation)

The Soft Pink Truth is the solo alter ego of Drew Daniel, one half of Matmos. Why Do the Heathen Rage whose subtitle 'Electronic Profanations of Black Metal Classics' reveals its agenda as an unrequited love letter to a justly divisive genre. A gleeful queer travesty of black metal's undying obsession with kvlt authenticity, Why Do the Heathen Rage is also a formally precise homage executed with a scholar's obsession

Animal Hands is the collaborative venture of two close friends, Will Samson & Heimer. Since the duo had worked closely together as mutual producers on Samson's solo releases, Balance (2012) & Light Shadows (2014), it was natural that a joint musical project would eventually materialise. However, in comparison with these two preceding records, this new body of truly collaborative work takes a different direction into more electronic inspired sounds

Rabit's Halycon Veil label swerves left with a freakish 2nd release coming from the Korean-born, Danish-raised Why Be - a member of DJ Hvad's Syg Nok squad, Janus regular and contributor of Total Freedom's 'Blasting Voices' compilation.Equal measures grime, bumpy techno and internet-world electronics tot up to a frictional but fluid batch tripping across imagined 'floor-spaces and the stranger black holes between their cracks.'Heroin Hat' crosses wires between ersatz Afro melodies and sublow techno with the playful dexterity of Physical Therapy whereas the massive blackened mass of 'Whalin (Kyselina OST)' proves an impressive aptitude for beat-less, abstract sound design on a majestic, show-stopping scale. Back to the 'floor on the B-side, he glances askew at ballroom house from the midst of a gif-like loop vortex with 'Deeq' and its b*tch-slapping, c*nty counterpart 'Late (Laser Ha)' throwing down limb-synched edits for the voguers.Very safe to say: if you're into Physical Therapy, Total Freedom or Rabit - this 12" is a strong look.

RED003: With the success of Pushing Red's first two releases, we decided we would step things up with remixes from the scenes top producers in their respected genres. Both F & Headhunter need no introductions fusing unique ideas & production values when it comes to dubstep & techno. These two remixes showcase both style and class in a way that only F & Headhunter can pull off and we are truly honored to have them involved.

A. Azure ( F Remix )
Kicking things off is F with a outstanding recreation of Jus Wan's already classic 'Azure'. A sneaking intro builds on the original pads before dropping into a steady snare. Growling bass slowly sneaks into the picture and drops into and perfect blend of rough & smooth. F has taken an already great tune and kept the integrity of the original, while giving it his own signature flavor. Classic remix!

AA. Avoid The Noid ( Headhunter Remix )
Another man who needs no introduction has graced us with a superb remix of DJG's 'Avoid The Noid'. Headhunter takes things very deep with a thumping 4/4, deep house kind of affair. A deep kick keeps the pace with deep low end that will work out any sound system. The original pads have been drawn out and sprinkled with the original key work. Fans of deep dubstep and house will love this tune and we hope as much as we do!


DJ Support: RSD, 2562, Headhunter, Komonazmuk, Synkro, Jus Wan, DJG, June Miller, F

RED005: Long time producer and innovator ASC steps to Pushing Red with two fantastic pieces of Detroit-tinged techno. He's well known in many circles for his wonderful drum & bass releases which more recently have brought him success on such labels Exit, Nonplus & his own Auxilary. His is also known for other tempos and this release is pure evidence that he is just as deadly in this realm as his drum & bass!

A. ADVENT
A punishing 4/4 kicks things off before distorted, crushing bass and effects propel this monster into Detroit territory! While this tune is a monster, everything is perfectly layered and everything within the tune makes sense. Reverbed keys and delayed effects pull everything together! Definitely one for the fans who like their beats with a little teeth!

AA. THE GLOW
The Glow harks back to the glory days of Warp Records and mid 90's techno & electronic. A subtle 4/4 keeps the momentum going while the bassline could workout any soundsystem. Lush keys and pads sit perfectly on top creating that wonderful melodic and nostalgia feel! Definitely one for fans of deeper, melodic techno!

---

RED007: Red007 sees Pushing Red taking a slightly different turn with more of a 'juke' style release. (Greek - known as Dimitri) buckles down with a with what could be called as a fusion of juke, ghetto house & footwork to outstanding results. The sharp 808 kicks and bassline pulsate throughout the tune while a sharp vocal sample cuts through giving the tune that much more punch! Flip over for the wonderful Ikonika remix. Ikonika has really taken this tune and given it her own feel and appeal. Turning the stormer into more of a halftime/ house feel, it's hard to put to words the outcome. It's ferocious & melodic and all wrapped up with that signature Ikonika feel! One you just have to hear!

UK producer Fono who is currently smashing in clubs with his track Real Joy on Relentless, has ripped apart 'Lean On' the global hit, chopping up the vocals and adding some pulse to the rhythm. A relentless piece of electronic propulsion which has the clubs going insane.

3024 is reissuing Martyn's 2009 collaboration with Hyperdub poet The Spaceape, who passed away last October. 'Is This Insanity' comes from Martyn's debut album Great Lengths and was his first collaboration with The Spaceape. The vinyl also features the previously unreleased track 'Camberwell Green' and the highly sought after remix of 'Is This Insanity' by Germany's techno don Ben Klock!

Frenetic, intense and fully Livity Sound in style, these definition defying tracks are the results of several jamming sessions between label mainstay Peverelist and rising star Hodge, their first collaborative release since the 'Bells' 12' on Punch Drunk records in 2013.
* This 12" marks the second release of 2015 for the label which continues to define the cutting edge of UK dance music.

ITALIAN MAINSTAY ALLI BOREM RETURNS TO DESOLAT ON THE DESTINATIONS EP Alli Borem has been bubbling under the surface for a few years now, stringing together a couple of fine releases on a diverse range of labels including Suara, Rawthentic, Dirtybird and his own Root50 label. First appearing on Desolat in 2011 and again on 2012, this time the Italian producer makes his third outing with the Destinations EP, which once again showcases his versatility as a producer across these five adventurous and very different tracks. 'Destinations' and 'Direzione Rebibbia' are both warm set builders, with 'Destinations' featuring slowly building piano chords which dominate until a distinctive vocal takes centre stage. 'Direzione Rebibbia' is another rich track, which again simmers away but this time with a glorious meandering Acid bass line and chord stabs. 'Maximum Description' marks a change in direction with mechanical and robotic sounds captivating the listener and transporting them to far away out of space surroundings. Similarly impressive is 'Quorum' with its twisted house aesthetic. Here an off-kilter groove, incessant drum claps, robotic bleeps, and reverberating bass all combine with fantastic results. 'Trip Out' again switches the focus and proceeds at a slower BPM but features shuddering bass, and a repetitive vocal; as the track steams ahead down a Hip-Hop trajectory. It's clear to see that on the Destinations EP Alli Borem delivers a kaleidoscopic snapshot into where he's at, which turns out to be an extremely exciting place. All five tracks on offer show a different side to his production prowess and are evidence of a producer who is not just enjoying himself but at the top of his game.

* 'Better Strangers' is the debut album by Manchester based producer Acre, set for release by Tectonic Recordings on 6th November 2015. The album follows EPs on both Tectonic and sister label Cold Recordings and Visionist's PAN collaboration label Codes.

* As influenced by rave & jungle, grime and techno as electronica, ambient and drone; his EP releases have been rhythm driven snapshots of other-worldliness spliced with dancefloor sensibilities. Acre has sought to explore a wider variety of textures on 'Better Strangers'; to re-contextualise elements from UK bass music, bring them away from the dancefloor and open up new possibilities.

* 'I tried to include more emotion in this album than my previous releases and wanted to represent a broader side of my productions. The title 'Better Strangers' comes from the feeling that some people make better strangers than friends (or better off being strangers) in your life, and the album is about recognising that."

10YEARS RE EDITION WITH CD

The crisp sound of golden age hip-hop is enjoying something of a renaissance. Grand Central producer AIM has always held true to classic underground hip-hop and a new project finds the beat-maker working alongside like minds.

Long Island's dynamic duo Q Ball & Curt Cazal (QNC) work the rhymes on upcoming album 'The Habit of a Lifetime', a project that owes its roots to 'The Force' which featured on Aim's 1999 landmark Cold Water Music LP.

Four years in the making the album features eleven Aim produced future classics.

Greco-Romance. It's often been said that the early underground parties thrown by the Greco-Roman artist collective, party and record label were romantic affairs. Maybe it was the punch, maybe it was the music, but love was certainly in the air. And so the third solo EP from Hot Chip's Joe Goddard picks up where last summer's EP 'Taking Over's love affair with club basements left off.
This EP spans five dance floor inspired tracks of epic proportions, none more so than the 15 minute version of EP closer 'Carried Away'. 'Endless Love' follows his tradition of collaborating with other musicians such as newcomer Valentina for 2011's anthem 'Gabriel' or German house legend Boris Dlugosch for 'Step Together' by asking Betsy to provide the vocals for the title track and its sister 'Make It Right', the pair of songs lyrically entwined in a strange love ritual.
As Joe himself whimsically says: "'This is another bunch of songs I have been making recently, surprisingly it consists mostly of House music! And a couple of other ones that aren't House - you can skip those"
However, maybe don't do as the main man says. For once we give you permission to completely ignore Joe Goddard and do as you please: get loved up with 'Endless Love'.

Jamie Jones, Richie Ahmed, Deetron, 2 Bears, Sinden, Sasha, Sneak, Steve Lawler, Laurent Garnier,

Having heard his music consistently tear up dancefloors countrywide, Good Years linked up with Bedfords finest, and Night Slugs collaborator Lil Silva to put out his new 3 tracker, named the PATIENCE EP.

After the 'We Make Music' vinyl trilogy release in 2013 House Is OK men are back and ready to kick it. They took their time polishing this new black piece of gem you'll be holding in your hands and after a period of careful track selecting, dedicated A&R work and multiple mastering sessions they proudly present the first, full EP on the label! Janis got the honors of being the first of the bunch to claim it! Named after his moms' favorite singer Janis, a full time musician, is either working on jingles for MTV European Music Awards, or making music for high-budget commercials and German art films, or spending his time constructing highly infectious House grooves. (Busy bee this one.) His latest EP for Tensnake's Mirau got strong reactions from the international House community including legends such as Mousse T, who couldn't resists its magical moods and atmosphere. On the 'Parental Advisory House' EP Janis got to demonstrate his vide range of talents. Driven by heavy bass line and filled with a funky chord sequence lead track will easily be implemented in your brain with the freaky vocal singing about a girl that just can't stop dancing. Kids will need Parental Advisory before listening to this, as they'll probably be infected with the same catchy virus called movement, spreading from this tune. It's infectious we tell you! Adults are in danger of being contaminated as well. And let it be known that you've been warned! With 'Fitzefu Pumpkin' Janis breaks the groove in a massive 2-step pumper. Good vibes come up instantly from tracks first few bars as it keeps putting that beautiful, subtle smile on your face until it gets to its last beat. Flip takes off with 'Ensoniq Youth".

4 Track Ep by Okayama's finest Keita Sano. Full Cover Artwork, ltd to 300 Copys

Rye Rye - real name Ryeisha Berrain - began performing at the age of 16, and a chance meeting with Blaqstarr resulted in their 2006 club hit 'Shake It To The Ground', heralding an impressive list of collaborations including Diplo, Robyn, Toddla T, M.I.A. and more, with Rye Rye touring with the latter throughout 2007 and 2008 and appearing in the video for her global smash 'Paper Planes'. This time she's jumping on a spidery beat from mercurial West London producer and DEEK label boss Bullion aka Nathan Jenkins... 'I found an old MP3 player when I was back at my folks' house, in with a load of my old stuff, and it had this weird track on it... a dancehall rhythm made with a didgeridoo sample. It was labeled 'Bum Spider' and I tried for ages to google it and couldn't find anything (googling 'bum spider' brought some strange results) so I put a tweet out describing it but... nothing. Then my manager, who knows the producer Bullion, told me it was by him and that he must have sent it to me ages ago! Anyway, I called Bullion up and said I had to release this track because I'd become obsessed with it. Rye Rye came to mind immediately for a top line so I got in touch and she loved the track so got on it and came back with 'Keep Up'.' - DAVE MACLEAN, KICK + CLAP Bullion's productions are full of distinctive rhythmic arrangements and unexpected changes - owing to a short attention span and acute attention to detail. With a slew of releases on One-Handed music, he drew the attention of Young Turks, releasing 'You Drive Me To Plastic' in 2011 and soon after, R&S, revealing his own voice on 2012's hypnotic 'Say Arr Ee'. Forthcoming is 'Rooster', a mini album for joint release on Greco-Roman and DEEK. Alongside his solo output Nathan produces and writes with other artists. His collaborations include Gwilym Gold, Laura Groves & Tic Zogson (as Nautic) and Jesse Hackett (as Blludd Relations).

Combines modular electronics W/ talented MCs from Pittsburgh & beyond. Rugged rhymes meet strange & satisfying beats by Soy Sos (3 Generations Walking, Soma Mestizo) & DJ Thermos + Action Bronson (Vice Records), Boaz, Hardo (T.I.), more.

Hot on the tail of two prior releases by Tapirus aka Rotterdam's own Charlton, the MNSX series presents its 3rd instalment with none other than yung John Heckle from Merseyside, UK with a remix by Tapirus. Three incredible tracks from John Heckle make up this blistering hyperactive EP. Raw, acidy landscapes and analog drum programming are the trademarks of this artist and he displays his mastery in full force. Together with Tapirus, the result is a meeting of minds; an energetically harmonious release in similar spirit. The title track 'Wet Noises' takes us full throttle into Heckle's domain. Upfront drumming, acid bassline and soaring synths mix and melt in a dancing cosmic soup. Tinkling notes add signposts throughout the oceanic chaos, before the song reaches its ultimate arrival on shore. 'Alpha Deux''s beginning and deceptive ambient soundscape unfolds deliciously, evolving organically into a full blown Chicago acid workout. Let it reverse and play on for a secret easter egg ending! On the B-side, Tapirus takes 'Wet Noises' to his territory on just as rough terrain. An acid bounce start slowly snakes its way into higher Asiatic ground with a hand of the mystical. Less of a remix in the traditional sense but an equally honourable version. A special treat is reserved for last. B2's 'Frozen Planet' is an evocative piece anchored by a broken beat and deep bassline. Brought alive by helter-skelter notes and wrapped up in soaring, mountain-high synth lines, it is a bright asteroid in the galaxy of John Heckle's discography for us.

A handful in stock only of this this new slamb choppin' four tracker from Norfolk's Mr Sanger who tears it up in classic style

Tech dub, hissing and decombobulated, cloudier than the crisp improvisation of previous outings.
Non Material Space is a side-long march recalling 2000-Black-vintage Dego; Last Snare is a percussive stomper, with the sampled vocalese of classic Chicago house; Dub Echoes is a homage to the basement-session continuum.

Three new tracks, and the third in a row of releases for the persistent Mr. Fingas from his first home, Firecracker Recordings. This originally came out as a limited 50 copy run release early this year and sold out within minutes.

Limited Orange Vinly Pressing!
After a huge response to the original version, released on Rubik in 2012, Submorphics's 'Organ Grinder' gets even more special, as the prolific drum & bass icon Calibre jumps in on the remix!
The original version of 'Organ Grinder' is a downbeat Summertime head-bobber and Calibre delivers like only he can on the remix, picking up the tempo and rolling out some classic Calibre vibes on this one.
Forthcoming on Rubik Records 12" with the original version of the tune on the flipside. Lookout for full release date and info to follow soon!
"Classic Calibre vibes." - Friction - BBC Radio1

JETS sophomore official release, their highly anticipated debut on ULTRAMAJIC see's the two artists display an approach to production that deals in the paradoxes and ambiguities of both studio songwriting and raw live performance; a somewhat soothing amalgamation of disproportion, But also weirdly right, evident that despite Edgar and Stewart's careers sharing striking parallels, they have known each other for...well forever.

The 4-track EP reassembles a long-scattered sketchbook of songwriting confidence that the pair have filled with drawings of cosmic rhythms, experimental sounds and other analogue obsessions.

"Our first record was more of us finding out space and creating a new environment of sound to work with. This release was much more about exploring the building of our creation"

"U-N-I's'" colour and pallor coming as much from the soulful palette of Jamie Liddell's vocal performance as the dirty turps the pair washed their synthetic brushes in.

JETS production finesse, awash with a delicate nocturnal mood as analogue drums meet colorful chords against a nightscape of glossy darkness.

We spent a lot of time on the sounds, which were mostly from digital hardware sources. We also focused on the recording process more than ever, as we mixed the record on mastering equipment and experimented with bouncing parts onto tape.

The sounds that often many attribute to Jimmy or Travis as solo artists are slowly transpiring to be the opposite, their respective contrasting styles not only behaving with vibrant influence over one another but in turn establishing an exciting benchmark in electronic music songwriting.

The Wizard Of Rhythm makes his Stag-O-Lee comeback with a collection of 21 amazing tunes, 14 taken from his various 7-inch releases on Witchcraft, Sleazy, Stag-O-Lee, Migraine and Squoodge (which are mostly sold-out) and 7 tunes previously unreleased! The vinyl version comes as an LP plus 7-inch, packaged in a nice gatefold-sleeve. The release includes extensive liner notes and track-by-track info by Darren Ross, as well as lots of photos, 7-inch covers and memorabilia. Artwork by Mr. Bontempi himself, of course.

The series 'Journey To The Centre Of The Song' celebrates one song at a time, and presents it in many guises and interpretations. This first release in the series is dedicated to the classic tune 'Tabu', written by Margarita Lecuona (also responsible for 'Babalu', a classic as well), who was a cousin of the famous Cuban composer and pianist Ernesto Lecuona. The song, recorded as 'Tabou', 'Tabu' and 'Taboo' is a jazz and popular music standard which was first recorded by Cuarteto Machin in 1934 and later made popular by The Lecuona Cuban Boys and others. The aforementioned guises and interpretations span genres from Charles Blackwell's upbeat surfstrumental shaker to the brassy exotic tones of Tito Rivera, from the Cumbian island sounds of Cyril Diaz to Sylvie Moras silky smooth popcorn rendition. The record is completed by Arthur Lyman's crazy voodoo lounge version that evokes visions of palm trees and sun-drenched white sand. So sit back and enter the intoxicating world of ... 'TABOO'.

Limited to 150 ! 12" blue colored vinyl - 2 tracks :

Nach der gefeierten und überaus erfolgreichen "Radius EP" auf 50 Weapons aus dem letzten Jahr, liefert das Londoner Bass-Trio Dark Sky nun einen Nachfolger ab, der alle Erwartungen übertrifft: hier vereinen sich Garage-Rhythmen, Clonkstep, Post-UK Funky, Tech-House-Referenzen und sogar Spuren von Electro zu vier grandiosen clubsmashing Tunes, die die fortwährende Bass-Evolution weiter vorantreiben.

Solid mix of 80s post punk vocals, electro-industrial beats, techno, dark wave synths. Catchy stuff.. White label. 100 only.

Osiris Music UK number thirty nine sees label owner Simon Shreeve finally come to the fore with the first full solo release under his Mønic alias after a pair of successful outings on the Open Water and Habits EPs earlier this year.

From the breathless opening charge of Bloodhound to the tense recesses of the title track which closes the EP, Human Pattern sees Mønic confidently steer both his personal sound and the overall aesthetic of the Osiris label deeper into the realm of experimental electronic music.
Human Pattern comes housed in high quality 300 gram outer and inner sleeves, fully printed and adorned with artwork making this a special piece even by Osiris' usual standards. Early support: Surgeon, Regis, Clouds, Laurent Garnier, Amit, Paul Mac & Lakker...

LIMITED REPRESS WITH NEW ARTWORK. First brought to light by the SB.TV F64 freestyles the ubiquitous 'Wooo Riddim' was arguably one of the most exposed grime tracks of the past year and now see its vinyl release as the second release on the Butterz white label series. The track has already been vocalled by D Double E, Footsie, P. Money, Chipmunk, JME and Jammer and has continued to stir up debate as to who has the best version. The tracks popularity has exceeded the 18-year old producer, S-X's, expectations by a long mile. Taking its influence from dirty-south hip-hop, 'Wooo Riddim' leans on on a stern 808 drum-roll and is accompanied by somewhat hypnotic synth-lines that compliment the laid back feeling of the track. Local Actions DJ Q is on remix duty on the B-side and delivers a somewhat dramatic interpretation with some woozy synths and manages to maintain the energy of the original and adding a bit of extra sub-bass to finish it off. Mainly known for his exploits in the UK Bassline scene DJ Q shows his versatility here by working with a grime track so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for more of his productions on the weekly Rinse FM Butterz radio show.

Having both released killer solo records on Coyote Records already, grime newcomers Chemist and OH91 return to square up on maybe the hardest, most upfront Coyote release yet; a limited run white label featuring two no-holds-barred dancefloor bruisers. On 'Xtra91', OH91 provides Rapid's classic instrumental with a monstrous update, turbocharging it with a punishing 808 bassline that bulldozes everything in its path. Flipside, Chemist reworks Footsie on 'Prang Boy Remix'; a rude, abrupt and unforgiving contortion of the original that takes no prisoners. In fitting with proper white label tradition, the 12" delivers a pair of bootlegs built to shut down raves.

As a debut 12" release for both DJ Marfox and Príncipe, "Eu Sei Quem Sou" ("I Know Who I Am") is the best title we could hope for our collective present & future intentions. It is what Marfox has always made clear to us through his work - a unique vision of technological, artistic and civic advancement. Everything is about having your code, knowing where you come from; about the way in which he's chosen to progress through his music.

Alex Coulton makes the deft first mark on Beneath's Mistry label, a new home for darker, techy UK riddims. 'Bleep Sequence' weighs up a definitive reduction of dark garage, dubbed techno and Yorkshire-style bleep 'n bass with plangent radar pings and body-scanning subs rolling from a spare, halfstep swagger into dread techno momentum. 'Tension' is a deadly new cut, well known to UK underground circles, synching tribal drum cadence with wide, surging subs and diffuse dubbing.

BLEEP SEQUENCE / TENSION

Horror Boogie 08 has landed and it expects you to bounce. Sounding like someone's invited Vibert to spin at a ghetto block party, the Transistor Booty EP finds Luke's Anger showcasing his ability to inject concentrated funk into the most energetic of club tracks.

Bounce Fresh kicks things off in buoyant fashion with a meandering acid line providing the central thread for sweeping synths, infectious vocal snippets and the bassiest of kick drums to work your subs to their limit.

On a similar tip, but with more of a chilled out groove, Biscuit NRG gets much deeper, its low-slung acid line burrowing into your brain for a full-on hypnotic work out.

Poppin' sounds the most directly influenced by classic booty house - its more clipped acid line, slightly more aggressive vocal clips and pitched up toms bringing to mind the great DJ Deeon.

Finally, the crisp and elegant keys of Iced Out provide a beautifully delicate counterpoint to the booming kicks, scintillating acid line and frenetic juke-style vocal loop.

With Transistor Booty, Luke's Anger has bottled the most appealing elements of acid and ghetto house, shaken up that bottle and then sprayed it all over your speakers. The results may cause fits of demented rave twerking. You've been warned...

Houston Based Rabit has been at the forefront of the instrumental grime scene and now prepares his debut EP for Soundman Chronicles. The EP entitled 'The Sun Dragon EP' is Rabit's first vinyl release in over a year. Rabit's output has always been consistently strong and the body of work he produces has always been of the great quality which was evident with the inclusion of his track 'Satellite' on the scene defining compilation 'Keysound Presents... This Is How We Roll' released on Dusk and Blackdown's Keysound Recordings Imprint. After this he then prepared his debut release for the Dublin based Glacial sound imprint which included three original Rabit productions alongside an Epoch remix. Rabit's productions have managed to stand out in a new generation of producers who are re-imagining the old template of grime and rehashing it into a style which is fresh without sounding nostalgic. While Rabit may be linked to grime his music stretches far beyond the boundaries placed on the genre which is evident with the level of DJ support he has received. With institutions like emerging instrumental grime collective Boxed (Oil Gang, Logos, Mr. Mitch and Slackk) including Rabit tunes on their compilations (Square Wave Shell Down w/ Mumdance and Red Candles), and artists such as Cashmere Cat using Rabit tunes in the mix, The Bug who has been supporting Rabit's music online and Oneman including standout Rabit productions on his last two Solitaire mix tapes, this has cemented him as an artist to watch in the near future. With a release lined up with Tri Angle records forthcoming, this EP was an opportunity for Rabit to explore different sonic textures which still worked with the aesthetic of Soundman Chronicles: space and groove. The Sun God EP is 4 original Rabit productions which explore different tempos as well as a variety of different spaces. 'Send' introduces the EP; with its sparse landscape and heavy atmospherics, the vocals provide the backdrop for the entire tune, keeping a sense of tension and groove. Next comes 'Atacama Skeleton', a track with a name well suited, this is the longest and most unpredictable of tunes on the EP. It's impossible to track the direction of this tune on any listen, regardless of if it's the first or the tenth listen. 'Sun God' is more of a melodic roller, based on very few elements but a hypnotic melody to keep your attention throughout. Finally we finish with 'Yellow Haze', a much sought after Rabit dubplate with its distorted basslines and hypnotic horns.

Limited 150 copies, no digital release.
Topper is already known in the Berlin underground scene as one of the most gifted and talented DJs and is appreciated at the same time as a producer for his studio skills and hyper productivity.
Over the last years, Topper developed what was already outstanding and original in his productions and transformed it into a very rare special blend of psychedelic and minimalistic tech house, spacing from funk to deep and back to techno, always with authentic and original imprints.
'Down By The River' is extended, mature, dense and intense.
It is a deep dive into the many-sided music world and visionary inspiring roots of our contemporary voodoo child.
It is a magnetic composition, which represents Topper's path from a chrysalis into a butterfly.
As we like to do, SICCD003 will be limited to 150 copies and available on CD only.
Featuring The Clover and Just Kids, this album will be followed by a vinyl 12inch including some tracks including two different remixes delivered from DeWalta.
