Cat number: KNOE2/2 
Release Date: 17th Nov 
Formats: 12” Vinyl Only 
Tracklisting: 
A1) Tanita (Previously Unreleased) 
B1) Stratosphere (Originally released on FINE 002, 1997) 
B2) Secret Desires (Previously Unreleased) 
Distribution: Clone

After the success of Casey's first chapter on For Those That Knoe, he returns with three more liquid techno tracks, unearthed from his 90s archive. Two unreleased pieces are pressed alongside an absolutely rare deep gem from the Fine Balance vaults. 

Following on from BST on Knoe 2/1, Tanita is bright and melancholic; bringing its phased soaring pads and slippery acid funk to grace the A-side of Knoe 2/1. Yet again Casey delivers a unique take on Techno, shattering those preconceptions of the genre's dark and moody melodies with warmth, swing and harmony. 

The flip sees Stratosphere, a stand out track from FINE 002 moves to the outside of the B-side. From the highs of Tanita, Casey drops the EP down into the abyss with a haunting lead, moody pads and a squelchy arpeggiated synth. The track speaks through the pure emotion of the harmonies Casey creates; able to tell a number of stories through his melody, Casey yet again surprises with his aptitude for creating something so simple and classic yet utterly fresh and new.

The B2 plays host to a perhaps more stereotypical 90s style tech house track. Up in the skies with the likes of BST and Tanita, the chord stabs and intrinsic delay patterns of Secret Desires breathe funk over swinging rimshots and sizzling hi hats. The track sets itself apart from most 90s tracks with clever arrangements, an unpredictable but bumping bass line and some fine live work on the synths and groove boxes.

Jade Seatle met Jane Fitz at tech-house haven Kerfuffle in Brixton around 2005 or 06 (they don't remember). They bonded that day over records, and a strange story about a pebble.

Disillusioned with parties in London, rather than moan, Jade and Jane decided to make their own. Night Moves was born in 2012, after Jade Seatle and Jane Fitz visited Jenifa Mayanja in the summer of 2011, at home in Connecticut, and promised her a party to play at in London. What then evolved was a journey in music, gatherings and friendship, and a lesson in how community can evolve from a dancefloor. Night Moves spawned Day Moves, Field Moves, a B2B partnership, and many, many ridiculous parties in a range of wonderful locations. The records on this release not only represent the sound of Night Moves - all are tried-and-tested NM greatest hits - but the sound that brought Jade and Jane together, informed what they do now, where they've been and where they are still to go.

For Those That Knoe is proud to invite Jade Seatle and Jane Fitz to present the Sound of Night Moves, only available on vinyl!

Jade Seatle And Jane Fitz Present The Sound Of Night Moves

For the best part of 10 years, For Those That Knoe has maintained its position as a platform for obscure and under-represented artists of recent past, (re)introducing their music to the world in the form of a stories told in chapters and specially crafted albums.

Taking a slightly different tack, For Those That Knoe is looking to the present rather than back in time with a first LP outing for Slovenian producer Vid Vai. 

Vid Papez has had a succession of quality EPs under his belt, originally classically trained on violin, lute and guitar, his sound has developed into a lush mix of catchy breakbeat rhythms, precise intelligent percussion and other-worldly melodies and sound scapes.

In constructing Laminar Flow, Vid has taken inspiration from fluid dynamics and coupled it with early influences in the form of UK bleep, IDM and breakbeat sounds. The result is a timeless piece of liquid-smooth sonic art that is strongly relevant in 2022 whilst also giving a gentle nod to the pioneers of the deeper end of the rave scene.

Vid thanks: I'd like to thank my family and friends for all the support. Thank you Ben for your patience and realization of this project.
And last but not least - thank you Leja for all your love and inspiration. I dedicate this album to you.

@nimbus_music are three chaps originally from the house music epicentre of Woking, England. In the early 2000s, Oli, Funn and Pete carted a gigantic Dell computer between each other’s houses to craft a modest but timeless back catalogue of deep and emotional tracks. Their music was featured on European labels Bitboutique and the excellent Iron Box Music at the time; of which "Entron" a particular shining example of their sound, only recently gained notoriety amongst a number of discerning DJs. For Those That Knoe is proud to present a sonic snapshot of those times the lads spent in the home counties with three previously released cuts from the aforementioned labels and one taken from their unreleased archives.

This month I’m delighted to share the first guest mix from Idit Frenkel! @iditf

Idit has DJed, ran monthly parties and bookings for several clubs over the course of the last 20 years. From cutting her teeth at her Tel Aviv party Later with local residents and friends Niv, Benji and Ofri, she has since graced the decks of Panorama Bar and Tresor. Next month she’ll be making her London debut, so can’t wait for that!

Idit’s DJ style encompasses all things deep from dub tinged house, broken beat and smooth techno sounds so you’ll be treated to a slick selection from Idit, recorded exclusively for my show.

I’ll be kicking off the first 60mins leaving the second hour to Idit.

In this episode I was able to welcome the guys behind a wicked little deep house label called Ordinaire Records, based out of Strasbourg in France. Rony, Alex and Thomas have been putting on parties in their area and have their third vinyl release baking in the oven right now. I’ve played both their previous releases on my past shows so it’s been a pleasure to have them on to lay down 90 mins of their signature sound. Listening back to their mix brought out a lot of nostalgia for me as they touch on some of the sounds I was really into (and still am!) during my formative years in the early 2000s, with records from Inland Knights, JT Donaldson, EBE and more. They’ve also managed to squeeze in a preview of their next EP so make sure you check out the mix and the full track listing below!

Shelve Delve 1! 

This month I recorded a bit of a digging session through the collection.

Dusty fingers, cracklin' needles and peaking meters.

230508_Knoe_Radio_Shelve_Delve_1_(VOICES EP007)

It has been some years now since Nail came back from the wilderness after one of his early EPs was re-released by Fear of Flying. Since then he has turned out plenty of new material as well as digging deep into his vast and vital vaults to serve up the sort of lo-fi but kicking house sounds that made him and his Nottingham crew such a driving force back in the 90s. And that's what we get here on For Those That Knoe - no fewer than eight masterfully stripped-back cuts of deep house. Some are laced with dreamy melodies, some roll deep for days, some are raw and textured pumpers and some are jazzed-up bangers with charm to spare. Essential stuff.

Nail - Unreleased Dubs

This first volume of Halal Prepared comprises of a who's who of boe's past, present and future. The label stalwart KiNK who has recently found form on Mule Electronic and Kolour contributes a fine piece of deep, synth laden house music that has a warm and fuzzy vibe.  The track builds from KiNK's crisp and punchy kicks and claps, helped along by a delicately delayed bell synth slowly opening up into the main chord sequence. The beat drops down to its minimum, a soaring string squeezes in as the pulsing synth pad's filter peaks and the bass kicks in. The track breaks down to include the ethereal vocal talents of Rachel Row whose sounds are limited to soft backings to the overall melody but add an extra layer of warmth to the harmony. The tension is built once more with a cheeky little male vocal for a fitting finale to a track that will have you desperate to seek out a glorious sunrise as a back setting to this uplifting underground gem.

BOE007 A1 KiNK - Kiss the Sky

I recorded this mix in the remaining weeks before me and my family upped sticks, leaving London for rural West England.

"Citi 2 Valley" is a blend of deep techy flavours new and old covering a lot of my influences. It's full of lo slung deep chuggers, bumpy tech house rollers and dreamy trippy groovers.

Citi 2 Valley - Ben boe [KNOE MIXX/BB4]

The latest instalment of the boe mixtape series comes from Windy City nu house gurus Chicago Deep and Taelue. Quickly becoming revered for their productions on their own imprint Perpetual Rhythms, they're about to drop a track each on the next Halal Prepared 12". Before their slick productions hit the market, they've both been hailed as true selectors here at boe towers. Covering all angles of deepness yet keeping that Chi-town swagger, the two heads step up to the plate and deliver 90 minutes of goodness for your earholes.

Enjoy!

Boe Mixtape V - Chicago Deep & Taelue

Basement Wax
Mix Series 003 - Ben Boe

This latest Basement Wax selector mix is from DJ, label owner and producer, Ben Boe. Ben’s imprints have left a modest but credible mark on the underground house community over the last 15+ years, having delved deep across the electronic spectrum to search for individual sonic trademarks and push lesser known artists to the fore. 

Leaning deep into his record collection, Ben’s mix is a silky tapestry of NY gems, chuggy west coast rollers, space funk jams and soulful vocal pumpers taking a heads down trip across all four corners of the deep house world.

BASEMENT WAX 003 - BEN BOE

Parts of my set recorded live at O Galop on a glorious Sunday afternoon and evening in sunny Marseille. It was an incredible party with a friendly and up for it crowd, hence me throwing down stuff a little more up front than usual. PARTY VIBES. The recording had a couple of problems at the start and in the middle section so I've uploaded from about 30mins in and the last 2 hours.

Hope you enjoy!

Derek Carr is a name known by few and far between, with only a handful of vinyl releases in the early 2000s, he built a worthy but unfortunately not widely-spread reputation for putting together stunning deep techno. Originally pressed in finite numbers, the records have recently found themselves in demand on Discogs, and rightly so, Derek’s music is in a class of its own. Having been a big fan since his releases on then local (to label owner Ben) Leeds label Geek records, For Those That Knoe has dug deep into the archives to put together a sizeable selection of Derek’s back catalogue, with some unreleased gems dotted amongst the classic must-haves, spread across three EPs

Part two of three in Derek’s series kicks off with a Destiny, a driving deep techno funk filled jam, originally released on Derek’s label Trident. Bob is a spacey and sparse melodic electro gem taken from the unreleased archives. L’Equipe on the flip was one of the standout cuts on Derek’s solo EP on Headspace Recordings, pure unadulterated deep house. Museum Piece is a groovy ambient electro jam ripped from DAT and slotted into the B2.


KNOE 5/2 - Derek Carr

Half-Swedish/half British artist Leif is based in the UK. In the past few years, Leif has forged a reputation within the underground scene for his trademark sound - a blend of minimal house that encompasses elements of deep dubby tech-house, bleepy minimalism, delicate chord soundscapes and enough chicago-house style shuffle to to keep the dancefloor moving.

Leif’s first outing onto boe comprises of “Remember” an upfront deep house gem featuring the vocal talents of Donna Lea. Tight and punchy drums with that trademark garage shuffle bounce the track through the intro as Donna’s vocal snippets groove alongside the resonanced jazz chord sequence. Remember’s analogue bassline pumps it further into Chicago Boompty territory with hi hats swinging like old couples in a Louis Theroux documentary. The track is stripped down to its core groove and into an acappella breakdown that leaves the listener itching for that bassline to kick back in to its warm finale.

On remix duties are Azuni, Swiss partners in serious house crime fresh from their highly charted release on Drumpoet. Azuni take the elements from the original and truly rework it into a blissed out mid-ninetees house gem. It has as much of a nod the future as it does to Strictly Rhythm influences with its lush pads and European deep flavour.

Finishing off the EP is She’s Kooky, a dancefloor workout with scything disco filter chords that resonate in and out and finally open up over their low-slung beat and bass accompaniament. Definitely one for those up in the air moments in dark surroundings.

Derek Carr is a name known by few and far between, with only a handful of vinyl releases in the early 2000s, he built a worthy but unfortunately not widely-spread reputation for putting together stunning deep techno. Originally pressed in finite numbers, the records have recently found themselves in demand on Discogs, and rightly so, Derek’s music is in a class of its own. Having been a big fan since his releases on then local (to label owner Ben) Leeds label Geek records, For Those That Knoe has dug deep into the archives to put together a sizeable selection of Derek’s back catalogue, with some unreleased gems dotted amongst the classic must-haves, spread across three EPs

Part three in Derek’s starts with Cuba, probably the most sought after track in his back catalogue. It's stunning simplicity and charming summer vibe puts it amongst Derek's greatest works and understandably so. Red then slots into the A2 position which was originally released under the radar on a Headspace compilation. As warm as Cuba but with an added touch of melancholy. Truly outstanding deep house.

Iceberg takes things back more into techno territory with a funked up bass line, stepping rhythms, Detroit strings and those trademark twinkly leads. Finally Penthouse Apartment 3AM a lush electro breakbeat track from the very hard to find Trident release, rounds off the EP with aplomb.

Foreword by Ben (For Those That Knoe)
As a young person growing up in West Yorkshire, my experiences of true underground clubbing became intertwined with names such as Back to Basics, 20/20 Vision and Carl Finlow. That period in the early 2000's became a life-affirming time for my young self. Frequent trips to Back to Basics, then held at the Mint Club helped forge my outlook on electronic music and how it should be played in a club environment. I would often hear stories about "the Farm" and the late night parties and studio sessions. The anecdotes and tales of US icons recording in the countryside with the local guys provided only a small insight into the creativity and fun that must have gone on during those years. Cut to now in 2017, whilst looking back to those times more than fifteen years ago, I can proudly say that the dots have been joined and the connections now formally established. I'm immensely proud to say that Carl Finlow, the understated king of British electro, and I, have put together a selection of his works that provides a themed snapshot into his musical history.

The music I have chosen with Carl may not be all of his biggest tracks but it is the music that is special to me. The selection has a vibe, one that is deep and emotive, music for the head as well as the feet. I hope you hear it in the same way.

If you don't know Carl Finlow, now you knoe.

A Selection Of Works Part 1

Carl Finlow - A Selection Of Works Part 1 [KNOE 7/1]

Cat number: BOE015
Release Date: 18th June
Formats: 12” Vinyl & Digital EP
Tracklisting:
A1) Path Illumination
A2) VTM Beos Tribute
B1) Elements Combined (Vinyl Only Exc.)
B2) Essence Dub (Vinyl Only Exc.)


2012 will be a year for new faces on the boe release schedule and first up is Professor Inc.; a producer from Paris who has taken inspiration from the masters of the early dub house and techno sounds, incorporating samples borrowed from the days of floppy-disk sharing to create fresh new soundscapes with a very modern feel. He delivers a 4 track EP of stripped back house with complex peripheral textures and effects; from the evolving strings and moving sub bass of Path Illumination and VTM Beos Tribute to the sinister echoes and delayed drums of Elements Combined and Essence Dub.

Path Illumination is a bass heavy string work out with a spoken word from Professor Inc. himself, promoting the underground and what it stands for.  The looped string pattern is locked in for the majority of the cut as Professor Inc.’s voice cuts through the mix. The strings then open up into a sublime orchestral melody that rains down of the thump of the bass and the snap of the hats and snares. It’s France meets Detroit in the most elegant of rendezvous.

The second track on the EP is a tribute to an underground legend on the early sample-sharing scene. VTM Beos Tribute is a stripped back house cut with a warm floating bass and snappy hats and snares. It’s a rolling ride until the track breaks out with a glorious string melody and beautiful finale for what would be a great end of night track.

Elements Combined is a true work of art in terms of engineering; multiple layered percussion elements bounce and dot around the aural planes, blanketing a chunky 4/4 beat and sub bass in a stereo sensuality. Influenced by the sounds of Basic Channel this isn’t an imitation of the usual dub sounds, it’s something entirely new and original leaning more towards a house sound.

Essence Dub starts where Elements Combined left off; sweeping pads, flanged drums and echoed vocals ping pong over an industrial beat. With its subtle intro it’s a great opener to a peak set for those who want to start of dark and nasty.

In 2013 Casey Tucker was thrust into the limelight after 15 years in the shadows. Never truly getting the recognition for is Detroit influenced and post rave sound in the 90s, For Those That Knoe reissued some of Casey’s classic material and unearthed some gems on DAT in 2013. Fast forward to the current day and a recent treasure trove was uncovered and some fresh DATs untouched since the late 90s were discovered! Ben promptly bought a DAT player on Ebay and shipped it to Casey’s home for the un-dusting to commence. FTTK has worked with Casey to present another round of authentic material for this final installment (maybe) of his classic productions.

This final chapter rounds off in a deeper more melancholic style. Inner Strength has a warehouse vibe with spacey choir pads, percussive bassline and acid funk.

Terraform from Fine Balance 002 gets a rerelease as the A2 cut on this EP. Classic Casey stabs, twinkly leads and shuffling rhythms are the order of the day for what has been a staple in Ben's record bag for an age.

The final track presents one of Casey's finest moments. Waiting Game is the after hours yang to the ying of the perfect summer cut BST on KNOE 2/1and rounds the series off beautifully. Stunningly deep and psychedelic with its string section and acid lines it’s a late night tune designed to usher in the break of dawn.

Casey Tucker - Knoe 2/4

Absolutely lovely new poddy from one of the pillars of the UK electronic music community. Ben Boe has been curating some seriously sweet releases over the course of the last few years on his For Those That Knoe and Boe Recordings imprints. A devoted collector through and through with an aesthetic and sound that he has made his own, Ben turns in a super slick selection of old and new from across the globe.

For Those That Knoe delves deeper into the archives once more to repackage a bundle of hard to find cuts on vinyl that have been staple supplies in Ben's record bag over the years.

The early to mid 2000s was a period of minimal techno overload, finding quality house music then was a challenge compared to today. Rather than follow the herd, some European producers took influence from the original minimal pioneers and fused those approaches with house music themes in order to push a unique sound of the era. They turned minimal on its head and gave took it in a different direction. Canson from Switzerland released a handful of records between 2002 and 2005 that were a prime example of this aesthetic. Stripped back beats with syncopated melodies - perfect cuts for those early sets or hazy morning sessions. 

The three tracks featured on this compilation were originally released on two solo EPs for Canson: Itsudemo and Holiday Plug In, both of which have claimed squatter's rights in my record bag for almost 15 years. I don't think I've played one early slot or house set without one of them. This record is quite a personal one for me as it’s a representation of my deeper sound as a DJ. Now the original records are a little hard to find so I'm so glad to share my choice picks of Canson's material on a my label.

Canson - Knoe 8/1

For Those That Knoe kicks off a series of DJ-selected compilations featuring unearthed gems and tried and trusted belters. The first release in the series is provided by label owner Ben boe. Ben has dug deep into the racks to select two personal record box faves. Slaves Incorporated (Paul Rayner) released a short sequence of raw UK-styled garage music in the mid-ninetees on the label "To Groove To Records" out of the UK midlands. The pick of the bunch, "Baby", a peak time thumper with classic organ stabs and swooping subs graces the A-side. Tom Gillieron, perhaps only known to folk on the London scene has released some sought after tech house classics. Originally featuring on his first solo EP on Reverberations in 1998, "The Fire" is an impeccably produced deep breakbeat track for the heads.

Derek Carr Live @ For Those That Knoe / Secret Ingredient 22.02.19

Our 148th mix comes from Ben Boe, the founder of one of our favourite labels, For Those That Knoe. Ben set up For Those That Knoe in 2013 with an intention to turn the reissue market on its head. Rather than plainly reissuing individual expensive records on Discogs, Ben has re-positioned several artists previously unknown to most and given them a platform to shine; most notably Casey Tucker and Derek Carr in recent years. Ben is well respected for the breadth and depth of his A&R approach - For Those That Knoe will release two LPs before summer: the dreamy, super deep house of Planisphere, and the edgy, intergalactic electro sounds of ADJ. This approach is reflected in his DJing, with an ability to stitch together a rich tapestry of electronic sounds. This mix however has focused more on newer music with records purchased in the last year.

"On the mix I wanted to record something a bit fresher although I haven't really been on top of record purchasing in the past 12 months. It definitely leans more towards my housier sound and I managed to slot in two tracks from the forthcoming Planisphere LP. It was mixed at home on two technics 1210s and my Vestax PMC CX rotary mixer."

This mix has been in the works for some time so we are very happy to finally have it come to fruition. Big thanks to Ben for what is one of the best submissions we have had to our mix series!

Mantissa Mix 148: Ben Boe

Cat number: KNOE2/1
Release Date: 24th June
Formats: 12” Vinyl Only
Tracklisting:
A1) BST (Previously Unreleased)
B1) Habit of Awareness (Originally released on FINE 002, 1997)
B2) Momentum (Originally released on FINE 001, 1996)
Distribution: Clone

Amongst an ocean of re-issues from household names during this classic House music revival we’re currently experiencing, FTTK has dug a little deeper into the history books to unearth a somewhat understated gem in the form of Casey Tucker for the second chapter of For Those that Knoe. The mid nineties was a time when the sounds of Techno and House were being combined, new sub genres were emerging into clubs and DJs were forging their own unique take on dance floor electronic music. After a handful of releases on Probe and before that on Plus 8 with no other than Ritchie Hawtin, Casey Tucker set up Fine Balance Recordings to showcase his unique melodic Tech House solo productions. The label released two EPs (The Carpet Dancer and Accumulated Knowledge) on 12”, both bubbling well under the surface of the mainstream but changes in the music industry and the difficulties many labels felt at that time meant that the label was put on hold. Very much in demand today and extremely rare, FTTK has worked with Casey to dig out the original DAT recordings of those records as well as a fine selection of unreleased material to represent the second chapter of For Those That Knoe.

Previously unreleased, BST is a summertime melodic Techno piece with glorious strings, sun drenched pads, liquid acid funk and sizzling hi hats. It’s a melancholic encapsulation of the end of the dreamy acid rave sound and the purity of the early tech house sounds before digital audio workstations became favoured over their analogue counterparts.

Habit of Awareness, originally released on Accumulated Knowledge has the Casey Tucker swinging rhythm and uplifting acid melodies backed by fizzing distorted chords, archetypal of the 90s yet somehow not stereotypical. It’s bright and cheerful yet still maintains a sense of ethereal soothing with its slow attack dreamy pads and plucked lead.

Finishing off the EP is Momentum; the stand out track from the Carpet Dancer EP has choir style moodscapes, a bouncing bassline and wonderfully syncopated chords that skip across the rhythm like a pebble across a lake’s surface. The opening 2 minutes are an ambient tease switching from those Detroit style chords and formant pads to the bass and into one of Casey’s metallic swinging drum rhythms. Topping off the track is a bubbling delayed twinkling lead adding some additional funk into the mix for good measure.
