It's been a while since we last heard from Kinfolk, but the broad-sweeping label with cosmic chuggery in its bones is back with this powerful dose from Ess O Ess and Saulrichards. "Totem" is an epic track that rolls around in the muck somewhere between shoegaze extravagance, post-rock heaviness and psyched-out electronics. The "Swamp Crawl" version of the track keeps the guitars bedded deep within the mix, but there's space for more expressive synth work. Hardway Brothers take the track on a similarly rockist journey, but take their time building up to a climax. Otologic wrap things up with a deadly dub that will have low tempo trippers rubbing their hands with delight.

ESS O ESS - CANTILLATE [NAAR002] - OUT NOW!

"Ess O Ess are back home on Not An Animal, with a track that both continues and develops their recognisable motif. 
Flamingoes and Wombles and The Blue Oyster cult is as maniacal as the name may suggest, 
Swamp Rock, Cosmic Disco, Techno and shamanistic vocals all play a part in a pleasingly out there confluence of styles that drives, spits and builds to an unhinged, but cohesive, finale."

We premiered first NAAR some weeks ago with the track Le Clerc by Man Power. "Not An Animal" returns with their 2nd installment, this time from Ess O Ess (aka Chris Stoker co head-honcho of the label and his pal Jamie Blanco) Package is made of three tracks, the original mix backed with two remixes. One being by japanese Chida, owner of "Ene Records" and the other featured here, by prolific Los Angeles producer Suzanne Kraft (remember the devastating "Renee Running" under his moniker "Dude Energy") with a juxtaposed tropical techno - with added dub - approach to his interpretation. It's out early junuary 2016, Enjoy !

PREMIERE : Ess O Ess - Cantillate (Suzanne Kraft Remix)

Circling the sounds, the rhythms repeat as the triangles ting and coconuts are clopped. Chris & Jamie take turns to scratch & ratchet while Mr. Reich claps steadily, as The Head peers in curiously through the hallway and ponders poor Pickles' predicament...

Not An Animal are known for their heated takes on the art of disco-sampling house music, and Ess O Ess is one of the key factors in defining that sound. This comes through in spades on Take You To A Secret Place, where the title track comes marching out atop a deadly bassline that will cut through any mix to get the people freaking out. The dub mix is equally deadly, flying a generous dose of cosmic sparkle into the mix without losing the punch in the original production. Kuniyuki Hard takes a daring approach that slows the track down to a creep and emphasises space and tension. The Angophora version is even more drastic, seemingly stripping all the recognisable elements of the track out and leaving behind a plaintive thread of ambient instrumentation.

Ess O Ess, aka Chris Stoker and Jamie Blanco, are back on familiar territory as they return to Not An Animal for the fourth time their sensual and shimmering electro-tinged house cut 'Voice Inside'.

With an eclectic output, Ess O Ess have released material on imprints like Love On The Rocks, Ene, Is It Balearic and Me Me Me, but continue to showcase their finest on Not An Animal. With echoing synth stabs and guitar riffs layered over soaring atmospherics and breaks, 'Voice Inside' possesses an entrancing motif.  The ballad is undoubtedly ideal for late night dancefloor excursions.

'Voice Inside' which also includes remixes from Craig Richards and Backwoods, is set for release September 2.

Premiere: Ess O Ess 'Voice Inside'

Chris Stoker and Jamie Blanco's Ess O Ess outfit return for a fourth outing on their own Not An Animal Records with the Voice Inside EP, replete with classy mixes courtesy of The Backwoods atmospheric re-rub and Craig Richards stipped down, minimalist take. We plump to showcase the digital only Dub version; it's electro drums and scattered French vox set the tone immediately.  Delayed guitar chops and emotive pads elevate the atmosphere, as strobing bass synths provide an irresistable groove.

PREMIERE: Ess O Ess - Voice Inside (Dub) [Not An Animal Records]

Voices inside is a discovery within that begins with the vocals taking us from the now to the past and this stands true to the lyrics. This aptly named track moves from an 80’s synth-pop pad leading its way towards the emergence of an old school electro tom’s rolling its way to create the melody largely constructed synonymously with the drum programming that transcends its way to become a composition that grows into you before you know.

We are happy to welcome “@Notananimalrecords” label back again and this time with the English duo “Jamie Blanco & Chris stoker” aka “@Esso-Ess” releases their single-track EP which contains 2 versions (English & French) and 3 remixes from label boss Craig Richards himself, Backwoods and Pink language.

PREMIERE – ESS O ESS – Voice Inside (English Version) (Not an Animal Records)

Production duo Ess o Ess come through with a swirling roller of a track – Voice inside, which is remixed than none another than Fabric stalwart and all round scene heavyweight Craig Richards. The remix takes the tune into a more frenetic and almost disjointed territory, while all the way remaining inherently playable musically interesting. 

There’s lots of elements to this track, by the end it’s almost completely morphed into a different beast. interesting – yes, hard to fathom that something can evolve so much without you realising – a testament to the remixer’s musical dexterity.

PREMIERE: Ess O Ess - Voice Inside (Craig Richards Authority Clash Remix)[Not An Animal]

There was a haunting echo which reverberated around the far corners of his brain - it cast a spell of confusion and a murky haze over each and every decision. It was a voice inside which left him vulnerable and concerned, at risk and afraid. It had been with him for as long as he could remember and would likely always stay. There was no simple escape route, no trap door which might allow for a sweet release from the creepy whisper which lingered between his ears. The night was long and cold...

Ess O Ess are set to return to Not An Animal with a new EP of riotous intent and distinctive groove. It features remixes from Craig Richards and The Backwoods - the latter of which we are able to bring to you today.

There are many rooms, none with a key, the doors are always open.
Follow the times and get lost along the way.
Pied Pipers off the beaten track, a never-ending band of misfits.
Pear drops rain marshmallow clouds.
Fruit Machine Reels, reel.
A hall of mirrors smile. We provide a backdrop, the rest you make your own.
