NWAQ - Above EP - Last Age - LASTAGE01

a1. Above II
a2. Above I
b1. Dume

Jochem Peteri comes drifting back into earshot with some new NWAQ tackle in tow. Beyond the plentiful reissues of his timeless earlier works, Peteri is just as productive in the here and now. Now he’s minting a new label with three pieces that embellish the NWAQ soundworld with a fresh slant. ‘Above II’ is a crystal clear beam of light strapped to a kick that trips over itself with grace and poise. It’s forthright and yet wholly untethered, a pre-echo for the anchorless expanse of ‘Above I’, which buries some heavy bass ruminations very far down in the mix. That leaves it to ‘Dume’ to come staggering out all bleary-eyed, caked in last night’s distortion and yet still exuding a cracked beauty that stands up to the first light of dawn. The artwork which adorns this record is by environment sculpting internet artist Jan-Robert Leegte. NWAQ has always stood for a kind of environmental immersion, and this new emission compounds that idea in three distinct, refreshing ways.

INTERNAL/EXTERNAL - A Conviction of Fantasy

When House Music is spoken in all its incarnations, 
in all its different strains, in its bastardized so-called 
modern interpretations…ask yourself…
who has been in the trenches? 
Who is pushing true madness? 
In this day and age as chaos is law 
and no reverence is shown to those 
who have paved the path. 
Ask, who shows reverence? 
The past is fragile and that will always be perserved. 

The Jak has retUrned witH 2 new Dirty bLends 12 Promos 
in extremely limited quantity introducing nU cOhorts to the label:

Rudy Rugar(a wild bandit)
The Falcon(a silent assassin)

these new artist aliases to the label have contributed 
to the further effort of maintaining the sound from 
the early inception of chicago tracks like the days of old 
that still lives and breathes in us today that honors and 
treasures enriched essential dance music history.

DirtyBlends Edition 6 is *Underground Bizniss*

The Jak kicks the A-Side off with A Lost Religion 🔊 
an offset rhythm withfurious undercover drums 🪘, 
an atomic boom effect triggering energized strings 
fusing an artistic tradition of early basement style 
production of The Muzik Box re-igniting the past 
to the present into the future for education.

Roughneck Rudy Rugar beAts the B-Side with 2 tracks 
that's the 1st time we’ve ever done for any of our 
releases as both tracks are absolute true examples 
of house heaven done DiRTy with: Pazuzu & Back To Enterprise

in late March of this year was the first time ever...
Traxx invaded Japan!
the demonstration of musical kaos was ensued to the highest order 
of musical madness from his personally selected vinyls and rarities.

Beau Wanzer returns to Nation on a split release with Transformation. Over the past year Wanzer's output has been fueled by deformed synths, grim vocals, and hard hitting drums more suited for dungeon dance floors than heady home listenings.  For his next release he offers an icy subdued drum machine workout. 'Oklahoma 3' was recorded in the winter of 2009 while visiting his parent's house over the holidays. 
A combination of roland drum machines, sampled jazz tones, and ambient atmospheres the track sets a tone for a bleak winter in the countryside.
