City Road Records is proud to present this garage production from Ratman. They originate from around the turn of the millennium, when UKG was hitting its stride but hadn’t quite found a footing in Bristol.

Rat and a friend were at St Paul’s Carnival somewhere around 1996 when they happened upon a small soundsystem playing out of the back of someone’s car. The minimal, swung 2-step rhythms sounded completely alien to them, and set them off on a quest into the burgeoning garage sound, resulting in Rat producing this version of an evergreen pop classic of the era.

Now this quintessentially Bristolian twists on the UKG sound get a fresh airing on a label based just round the corner from where that car soundsystem was rinsing out mystery garage rollers all those years before.

Available now. Vinyl Only, limited copies.

Ratman 'So In Love' City Road Records (vinyl only - available now)

Swallow Me

I Love Like Your Men

@glbdom is back with a second vinyl release as good as its first. This one pulls totters six super sweet racks from various artists who all share a subtly old-school vibe. The house they make comes with lovely retro-future feels and hints of 80s and early 90 magic. Jeff The Fool kicks off with timeless deep house and seductive French spoken words. The irresistible grooves come thick and fast from there with @scruscru & @brselecta dropping in some kinetic 2step grooves, and dusty old and breakbeat sounds from FRR FONK come doused in synths soul. A trio of various jacking, smooth and soulful cuts see out the reverse.

Track Title: Pure Fury

The Lagaffe boys have a special one for you. Lagaffe 10 marks the 10th EP in our vinyl series and serves as a perfect way to end our 10th year in existence. To mark this occasion we are releasing a 4 tracker with our founders and label regulars. 

The EP opens up with Choen Social Club by Flexi Leifs aka Felix Leifur. Our man Felix lost his drum machines last spring but luckily he found a guitar and some drums. The track starts off with suspicious sounding guitar notes that somehow up as pure beauty, giving hope in the darkest of places. Frodo with the ring stuff, if you know what I mean. Playful reverbs and echos give the tune the classic Felix Leifur feel to it! 

Next up is "We are not alone " by label boss Jonbjörn. I think this is what Elton John meant when he said "thank god for those electro bangers!" Solid 909 drum work featuring dramatic chords and some original vocal work. If you can spot the sample write us on Soundcloud and you might win a year's worth of LaCafe Tales! 

Moff & Tarkin has the next track "Pure Fury", some breakbeats and cheesy disco vocals, why change a winning recipe? 

With "Að handan" Viktor Birgiss comes back to the label in style. Our mastering engineer described it as having the loudest kickdrum in history, imagine that! Lo fi dub sounding drums interlaced with atmospheric chords, made for those late night intimate moments on the dancefloor, again Frodo with the ring stuff, if you know what I mean.

Premiere | Moff & Tarkin - Pure Fury (LAGAFFE010)

Bass Toast steps in with a wonderful multicultural EP. Filled with warm chords and soulful broken beats. Half Belgian, half Portuguese Alexandre Bastos has an approach that’s seen him spend the last few years colliding different genres into percussive sounds filled with both confort and discomfort. He previously released on Listen Festival’s compilation, and is now revealing his latest project on his label Cosmic Breeze Record.

Provocatively named «Golden Spunk», this EP contains 4 percussive jazz-infused house broken beat tracks, in which, he shares the feeling of «Spunk», meaning « courage ». Living in a Golden era, filled with daily pressure all around, determination and courage are both paramount to one’s understanding of what’s needed in our individual and collective journeys.

We are pleased and excited to share this new release with you. We hope that you enjoy it.

Immediately infectious, the A side bursts to life, modestly bumping and rolling, bleep injections oozing over bright, brilliant stabs, “Slow Prayer” illuminated; read my, body language. A2 “Mr Mailman feat. Bea S-P” aka the official unofficial anthem of the year. Contagious & outrageous, strut worthy, sexy opulence. Deliciously demanding lyrics you won’t be forgetting anytime soon. DJ Chrysalis from Down Under™ joins Regfant for a tech driven switch up of teenage lore “We like to Party” - Ring the alarm!

B2 starts sweet and slow, sensitive 2-step drum-work building around the Let Me Love You Down (2dam doap) vocal cuts, tinged with melancholy, laughing, crying and dancing until dawn. Closing out the record in style is Waiting For Plush; sultry, brooding bass gliding under sassy percussion and chopped vocal chatter, perfect evening initiation.
