Appendix may refer to any text added to the end of a book or an article, containing information that is relevant to the main subject matter. Not that this is a way to say that this is the end of Shabu Recordings in any way, but rather a call back to Norwell’s work while using its previous incarnation as a starting point to elaborate and expand the world created previously. Although, it focuses on different events and it stands on its own as its own entity.

Appendix starts off where Norwell’s previous release on Shabu, I Kissed The Sun, left off : a big morning stroll in a psychedelic forest with unseen, yet familiar, creatures inhabiting it. Willie Burns (The Trilogy Tapes/WT Records/ L.I.E.S. Records) complements this unusual walk in the woods by absorbing it into his warehouse banger signature. Burns’ rework focuses on micro-events of the original to create a sort of granular House version out of them.

The adventure continues on a somewhat melancholic turn with We Have Been Here Before and Sometimes as the B Side. While We Have Been Before is a more dancefloor-oriented take to Krautrock’s signature synthline layering, Sometimes is Norwell’s venture into a more Techno universe than he’s mostly associated with to come out with a soothing, yet banging work.

As digital bonuses, Norwell offers Glimpse : a short but catchy synth jam riddled with different layers of complexity. This piece is then taken into obscurity by Farbwechsel Records’ boss S Olbricht for a ride into a 80s-cyberpunk club where people are trying to dance their problems away in a dystopian world.

"Starting a label is always an adventure. Some jump straight in from the get-go and some take years to muster the courage and know how to feel confident enough to give it a try. We are of the latter kind. After years of djing and party promoting we feel that the time has now come for us to begin this journey. As we set forth into the unknown we would like to thank all of our friends and the various people that have supported the project through all these years. Thank you !"
