Pino Peña launches his new label W133. The label combines analog photography by Freya Gerz with diverse styles of electronic music.
For the first release he has gathered 5 great tracks from artists all over the world.
The first track "Voices from the Dawn" is a smooth intro with elegant pads and a lush beat by Timo Rinker from southern Germany.
Right afterwards "Anorak" by Valdemar from Stockholm hits slightly harder with precise percussions in a cool bass 4/4 techno hybrid.
Pino Peña kicks off the B Side with the deep and fast rhytmic banger "Officer Rumba", building on dembow infused grooves. As a 4th track CucaRafa from Lisbon delivers 90s influenced groovy techno in "Deves Achar Que Eu Nasci Ontem".
As a closer for the EP, No Sir delivers a bass and break heavy beast called "Unknown Entities" fresh outta Brooklyn.

The release will be available digitally and as a very limited 12" dubplate edition with the analog photos printed.

Title: LAPSE003
Label: Lapse Records
Cat No: LAPSE003
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 

A1. Noticed
A2. Salt Water Trout
B1. UFO
B2. Crickets In My 2600

Lapse Records is pleased to welcome its first solo artist EP “LAPSE003” from UK club music innovator and Trouble Maker Records founder, Adam Curtain. He brings his now signature low end sound and genre blending style, marking the first step in broadening Lapse's sound within its current musical sphere. This output is presented with a moodier artwork reflecting the focus on darker sounds.

LAPSE003 features four bass heavy club tracks including summer dance floor anthem to be, “Noticed”, and a melodic percussive roller "Salt Water Trout" on the A. The disorientating and trippy "UFO" opens the flipside, with the understated "Crickets In My 2600" closing out the record with more sound system sonics.

*PREMIERE* John Barera - Time's Mirror (Chris Patrick Remix)

Lixo, the production alias of Alex Hislop, renowned founder of the influential London party collective, GETME!, unveils his latest musical offering. With over two decades of experience and a diverse portfolio of work, Lixo continues to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories.

GETME! has solidified its position as a cornerstone of London's music scene over the past 15 years, boasting a back catalogue of over twenty records and making appearances on esteemed platforms such as Rinse FM, NTS, Balamii, and BBC Radio 1Xtra. Lixo has collaborated with artists like Trim and Quays, and his previous releases have garnered widespread acclaim earning support from radio heavyweights Benji B, Mary Anne Hobbs, Toddla T, Huw Stephens, and Jamz Supernova, and more.

In his latest release, Lixo showcases his versatility by delving into a diverse array of sounds, drawing inspiration from various genres and scenes, and effortlessly navigating different BPMs. From the deep undulating rhythms of ‘Vyanese’ to the rubbery, euphoric synths and hypnotic groove of ‘Wur’, Lixo invites listeners on a journey through an eclectic sonic landscape.

Lixo then seamlessly blends syncopated rhythms and twinkling melodies in ‘Start’, before culminating in the irresistibly emotive club-cut, ‘Blop’.

Lixo's latest release is a testament to his ongoing commitment to innovation and exploration within the electronic music sphere. With each track, he invites listeners to immerse themselves in a world of sonic experimentation and creativity.

The word ‘Isolation’ undoubtedly has a new weight to it. For any person, within communities, it has the ability to starve us of something essential OR positively re-calibrate an individual whose introspection can lead to creation. The title & concept of this release is simply an acknowledgement of a creative process in which going inwards can lead to the discovery of something unique.

We as people move alongside technological advancements & this has the power to ‘connect & isolate’ Our personal relationships with one another also take on new forms as our tools for communication change. This inspires creative action. The human response to modern devices can result in surreal and unfamiliar expressions. In terms of music, our instant access to information from the past & engrained intuitions lead us to revisit atavistic rhythms of the past & reinterpret them with new sensibilities. We create music from the ‘Now’ that traverses the ‘Past’ with sights set on the future!

Bonds created from this expression can withstand and even strengthen even when inter-continental physical distance is imposed - forcing us to look inward to investigate the true depth of relationships forged out of creative expression. Rhythm has been used for millennia to locate the deepest parts of the soul & to re/connect spirits - this is true also in the modern age. Certain feelings cannot be expressed via digital text-communications nor with words alone; Music is the answer. Connection through disconnection.

The Artwork on the B-side of this record is a symbol of the individual, isolated & pinned down by the spindle, falling, spiralling, a metaphor for whatever turns you inward. The needle on the record emanates the rhythm”

PHZ004 - Sedgwick’s first return to Vinyl since PHZ001’s Digitale Djungle. Five cuts of proper underground material for dancers and deejays alike. Sedgwick’s homecoming is aplomb with hot, headsy electro interposed across a lewd landscape of tripped-out transmissions. We get straight to it with ‘Metal Detector’, a bewitching, twisted work-out delivered with such conviction it could be straight from 1997 Anthony Rother. With elements of breaks, electro and techno - ‘Exit’, the A2, is a pulsating peregrination around the geography of underground sound; hybrid heads - take note. On the flip of the record we are greeted with 'Pleasuresque' a quasi-old school breaks track which delivers a vibey electronic grit, balanced carefully with serene pad work and sparse moments in the track - it's the masterful arrangement here which allows Sedgwick to push the musical tension to the next level. Elsewhere, ‘Blue Print’ is a beautifully paced synthetic trip, one for the “sun coming through the shutters” crew. Closing things is ‘Bermuda Dream’, a markedly poised, high-octane dreamscape of emotional intelligence and a confident gaze ahead. Welcome to the future.

PREMIERE: Sedgwick - Blue Print [Potatoheadz Records]

New to the Clone West Coast Series, Gen-Y twists the Ghetto Tech idiom with a definate West Coast feel on this versatile 6 track EP. Ranging from the uptempo breaks on "Saturn flow", the weirdly P-funk styled "OK, OK" to the more introverted, downtempo "Feel Like We Used 2" this EP is a fresh take on things from this talented new producer.

Kicking off 2021 in KOC’s teeming keepnet comes courtesy of Roza Terenzi & Fantastic Man under the guise of production unit B’Zircon. 

Merging the pair’s brill touch of trance-suffused elevation and ankle-twisting dynamics, ‘Lazulination’ EP finds the two producers unleashing a steadfast triad of genre-unbound, organic-grown jams out the deepest blue. 

Pulling out a savvy mix of muscular breaks and hi-NRG shuffle, the ‘90s atmospheric techno-laced roller ‘Azure’ revs up towards upper, euphoria-inducing layers of the ravey continuum. 

Breath-hold diving into lush cerulean ocean floors via white sand beachscapes, ‘Ultramarine’ has us speeding up the Gold Coast’s underwater canyons at full throttle. 

Topping off the release is Perko’s crossover of both tunes as one, taking us on a rivetingly soothing, bass-enhanced downtempo ride that shall please both ambient heads and laid-back dubs revellers in unison.

In recent times, Space Cadets have taken the scene by storm. Based in Leeds, UK, the two are quickly becoming synonymous with a modern and exciting tech/trancey style of production. Both are also residents/co-run the party/mix series @on-rotation-music

Marlon (@liseneuk) & Adam (@adampits) have pioneered a new and unique sound, inspired by elements of 90's and early 2000's tech/trance/prog and electronica but with their own signature touches and embedded with a distinctly UK vibe. With respective releases on Planet Euphorique, Banoffee Pies, X-Kalay & Holding Hands, not only are both incredibly talented producers in their own right, but this mix is proof that their ability to select and compile a compelling set is just as impressive. 

This mix is what we all need after a long 2020. 

Thankyou Marlon & Adam :')

Long out of press, Helium’s seminal 1993 masterpiece ’The Works’ E.P. eventually sees the light of day again on Kalahari Oyster Cult. A head-turning slab of visionary house and trance music, ’The Works’ hasn’t aged one bit and its dancefloor appeal sure hasn’t lost any of its high-impact melodic beauty. 

Helium’s classic is now back in fully remastered shape (OYSTER20.1) and supplemented by a triplet of unreleased remixes (OYSTER20.2), available both independently and as a bundle 2x12" pack (OYSTER20) exclusively via One Eye Witness and Bandcamp.

Salt Mines / Life Sciences Division label-head Rudolf C joins us for both our first EPs of the year. "Gamma!" hits hard across 4-tracks spanning techy-acid, futuristic garage, and peak-time rollers. This is the first coming together of label and artist in the form of an EP - following on from Rudolf C's stellar contribution to our latest release in the War Child Fundraiser VA series.

The release of "Gamma!" falls hand-in-hand with the rebirth of Craigie Knowes' in 2021 which sees our imprint leave Glasgow and return to our hometown of Perth, the opening of our new studio / label-hub and a move to self-distribution, operating primarily from Bandcamp for the first time since our label launched back in 2015. Thank you so much for your support, your help has made this transition possible! <3

Don’t be fooled by its more cool-headed cuts: dubby pumpers like “Interpretive Dance” and “Incoherent Response” will have you oiling your rave gears (...or reaching for the phone.)
