Love 7

ZamZam 49 is an absolute stormer from Leeds-based Ryan Wild AKA J.Sparrow.  Well-known to dubstep heads worldwide, it is an absolute pleasure to present this massive reggae sound system stepper.

A pounding kick, majestic horns and the powerful chanting of Iration Steppas’ Dan Man anchor “This A Sound” from the first drumroll.  A masterclass in less-is-more aesthetics, the subsequent layering of nimble hats, cutting snare, subtle guitar and bubbling bass only serve somehow to give the impression of more space, even while ramping up the intensity and power of the tune.

“This A Version” Strips back the horns and voice, opening up reverb-drenched wells of darkness, a primal and mesmerizing space for dancers and meditators alike.  Only a truly accomplished producer can wring so much vibes from so few elements.  With its minimalist grace and elemental power, we guarantee you’ll be reaching for this plate well into the future.

Producing dubstep and bass music since 2006, Wild’s non-stop touring and releases on labels including Tectonic, Black Box and Deep Medi have made him one of the most respected and visible producers in the scene.  A previous collaboration between Dan Man and Wild’s ‘Author' project yielded a mighty tune called "Jah Live” that spawned numerous remixes. Claston Brooks AKA Dan Man is a veteran musician and singer best known for his touring and recording work with Iration Steppas sound system, as well as killer releases on Indica Dubs, Conscious Sounds, Scoops, OBF, and Roots Factory.

Mastered by Lewis at Star Delta.  Art & design by Polygon Press.

7" vinyl only, limited to 800 copies for the world.  No digital, no repress.

Glasgow’s Helicon have been staples of the UK’s underground rock scene since they formed back in 2009 and from then they’ve gone on to release eight EPs, tour Europe several times and share the stage with everyone from the likes of Wooden Shjips, The Warlocks and Dead Skeletons. Picking up an ever-growing reputation along the way the band are now finally set to release their long-overdue self-titled debut LP on Fuzz Club on December 8th – produced by Tony Doogan at Mogwai’s Castle Of Doom Studio and housed in artwork by prolific artist Jean Marc Calvet.

Exploring themes of love and loss, drugs and drink, religion and politics, and life and death, Helicon’s new album is a collection of sprawling and expansive Eastern-sounding psych-rock. Rock’n’roll has always transcended geographical limits and with this in mind the band explain how the new record aims to explore all of psychedelia’s hazy, deeply-rooted ley-lines across the globe - from their native Scotland to the sitar-led, opium-tainted sounds of India and the neo-psychedelic swoons of 90s San Francisco.

First sound from my forthcoming Taut LP. This will be something like my 19th full length, and although I never felt out of breath, what a wonderful marathon its been. The song is more California quiet storm than gale force, but hopefully you feel it.

I'll be posting the stems for download soon and would love to hear your take on the song, or just pass along the the skittering drums for you to find use.
