Description: Mine and Brads set live from Pineapple Black for SYNRG records. Fun b2b with a slight chaotic clash of styles that worked. The odd choppy mix here and there but I suppose it happens when you don't know each others tunes and wing it!

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.

He gripped both edges on the chair as the dentist slowly reclined him until he lay horizontal, the blinding ceiling lights attacked his eyes. “OPEN WIDE!” The dentist bellowed, picking up a large pair of sparkling pliers. He opened his mouth.“WIDER.” He opened his mouth wider. “WIDER!” The dentist grinned and put on her surgical mask. 

Pinning her combat boot on his chest, she took the pair of pliers and slotted them over his upper left molar. “3...” The dentist squeezed the pliers together. “2...” She pressed her foot down harder onto his chest. “1...” She ripped the molar from his mouth, raising it into the air like a trophy. 

Combining the addictive sounds of garage, breakbeat and broken rhythms, Manchester-based Dansu Discs bring you their second release of the year, and the second artist EP on the label from Yosh. Titled Erosion, the A-side blends wavering breaks and deadly subs, showing us a playful new side of the Timeisnow affiliate’s productions, while the B-side harnesses his well loved swung beats, lively stabs and compelling bass lines.

The Dekmantel Selectors compilation series is set to continue with a highly anticipated edition curated by Joy Orbison. First announced in 2015 when the Selectors project was unveiled, the fourth compilation in the series finds the singular UK talent curating a sort of tribute to his home country and its rich musical history.

Like many of us, Joy Orbison (a.k.a. Peter O'Grady) is a product of his environment. Based in London, he's keenly aware of the UK's unique musical landscape and the role it's played in shaping his own artistic vision. Growing up, the sounds of garage, jungle and dubstep all made an impression on him, but O'Grady knows that the roots of this music go back much further. "Soundsystem culture is a thread that runs through almost everything here," he says. "It's had a huge effect on me, sometimes without me even knowing it."

In keeping with previous Selectors compilations, O'Grady's contribution to the series is not a mix CD, but a collection of hand-picked tracks from his own archives. Touching on everything from shuffling garage and loopy techno to booming jungle and a number of distinctly British hybrids, it's a diverse collection to be sure, but O'Grady prefers to focus on what ties these tracks together. "We're a lot more focused on BPM and genre these days," he says, "but I can honestly say that didn't really cross my mind while I was compiling this. In my mind, all these tracks have a lot in common."

"What I do is a direct result of this music and I'm indebted to the sociological factors that brought it to life," explains O’Grady. "The UK at its best is a celebration of diverse cultures intertwining and creating beautiful results. Hopefully this collection of music can document a piece of that. Now more than ever, it seems important to acknowledge and celebrate this."
