COP ENVY - CRY002
OUT AUGUST 2018
Global distribution via Rubadub.

Sydney via Melbourne-sider Cop Envy brings forth two heartbursting, patient and effective tools to mark the return of the Cry Baby imprint - long silent after their debut exploration with Dan White.

The anachoic, blistering tones of Balanced push the vinyl medium to it's absolute limits with Heavy, HEAVY bass and incredulously well produced embellishments making this a DJ tool for the year 3000. 

Leisure laces the flip with something a little closer to the present day no thanks to  barely melodic musical structures peeling away to reveal the rhythmic intricacies and soul rattling subsonics that roll effortlessly through to the bitter end. REWIND.

@nelsonoftheeast

The illusive Nelson of the East reappears with his forthcoming EP Phase Alternating Lines – a first class two-tracker + FANTASTIC MAN remix 

The Swiss-born, Milanese artist released his first EP Night Frames just last year, making a strong entrance on Tartelet Records. This time around, N.O.T.E explores 80s electro boogie with ‘Phase Alternating Lines’ on the A side, and delivers his very own take on obscure tribal house with “Burning Palm” on the B side.

If you’re into the 80s, Beverly Hills Cop, or just sad that you missed out on Studio 54, you’re going to love EP opener, “Phase Alternating Lines”. It’s got it all: hot drum programming, an electro boogie bassline and a cheeky Italo-style melody that sticks.

“Burning Palm” takes us into tribal-meets-afro-house territory, utilizing percussion, synth marimba and entrancing melodies – all held together in a tight, driving groove. This track is exotic at its root and perfect for any late night outdoor activity. 

FANTASTIC MAN of Superconscious Records fame delivers an outstanding remix, taking “Burning Palm” deeper into obscure tribal territory with his ‘Awakening Dub’, where repetitive rhythms, off-kilter bass and mystic sounds merge for that hypnotic afterhours vibe (digital only).

This is a limited-edition release of 300 copies, written and produced by N.O.T.E, arranged by N.O.T.E in close collaboration with Tartelet Records’ label head Dirk 81 and mixed at Panalama Studios in Copenhagen on the Neve 5088 Shelford console for good measure.

Returning to Daniel Steinberg's Arms & Legs imprint for their third collaboration, Kristin Velvet and Felix Da Housecat unite for 'Cats Love Velvet III' - a fresh two-tracker that's set to drop on July 12.

Ahead of the release, this excellent production duo has handed over the EP's lead tune 'Not Hard' - a brisk, arid and ominous tune with a tense piano melody that's pushed up your spine by a raw percussion and a brawny kick.

Releases by Intergalactic Gary are few and far between. Besides a handful of collaborations such as The Parallax Corporation (with I-F) and with Pasiphae, the must-know DJ from Den Haag has largely been about his talent behind the decks. We are thus extremely honoured to have him break the mould with us for his first solo EP release in 15 years — ’Signs of Disarray’. 

Injecting a fresh spirit amidst today’s mass productions, the sounds will immediately capture vintage ears. The pacing well measured, the storytelling a precious capsule from a time past. In essence, 4-tracks impossible to replicate unless you are the one and only time-bending and time-travelling Intergalactic Gary.

Hop on board the bird trip with title track ‘Signs of Disarray’, a hurtling sonic obstacle course which gives a brief but soul-drenched reprieve. Onward, ‘Invisible Intruder’ chronicles a battle propelled by gun shots and recoils. The B side consists of the tools: ’Nickel from The Bumper’, a liminal ride for that nth hour of your set and ‘Mystified’, a ghostly apparition to surface at highly selected dance floors under the right musical conjurers.

A1, A2 and B1 mixed by our good friend Redshape, all tracks mastered and cut by the legendary Simon at The Exchange with artwork by our friendly neighbour and artist Kohei Matsunaga and layout by our crew member, Naomi Clair.

 The A side drops two club ready electro tracks molded with his unique cyberfunk style, punchy analog drums, heavy dystopian basslines and gently spaced out melodies. On the flip side things turn into a murky slow tempo affair. Industrial solid drums and distorted sonic grounds will turn your captivating journey into a dark machine odyssey.

“Digital native. Noun. A person born or brought up during the age of digital technology and so familiar with computers and the Internet from an early age.”

Prime handler of comet powder-fuelled floor heroics for the sun-dazed hours, Melbourne’s Escape Artist made quite the impression with his previous pair of EPs for Salt Mines and much enticing debut tape album for Couch Acid Recordings. Turning up on Kalahari Oyster Cult with his anticipated third outing, ‘Digital Natives’, the Aussie producer pulls out a quartet of old-school ravey pumpers, rife with the usual pack of patented Escape Artist tropes. Kalahari’s 19th oyster is sure to get dancers wading knee-deep in their own sweat as EA takes care of whooshing us off to dreamier Utopian heights in one smooth movement.

Cutting a path of cyber-organic fascination, ‘Another World’ flies us straight off to fantasized tropics where warm swashes of bleached-out pads and roguish acid froth languidly lap at convulsive ridges of breaks-riddled drum programming. Taking the original for a dive into swampy, Chain Reaction’esque depths, Canadian techno deconstructivist Flørist offers a moment of calm before the B-side’s storm.

An all-out dynamic affair, ‘Digital Natives’ cranks up the heat a notch further with its heavy alloy of propulsive electro and ankle-breaking rhythmic outbursts, which shall wreak absolute havoc no matter the hour or place. Rounding off the trip on a jazzy, laid-back after party vibe, ‘Inner City Pressure’ is a vivid mix-&-match of junglistic engineering and ethereal house-ism; a most spitting sum-up of Escape Artist’s playful and versatile approach toward production. Roll the dices and brace yourself, this is some massive magic at work right here.

@d-tiffany

The Berlin-based collective Radiant Love is responsible for a luminous bimonthly rave roaming throughout the city for the past year or so. Naturally, its first release as a label, the 3-track EP You Think by Fio Fa, represents not just the sound of this party but its infectious mood, a flammable affect.

Fio Fa’s productions are brisk, incredibly playful surfaces: they are structured by continuity more than dramatic builds and drops, and the tracks themselves are composed from a few honed elements – a sculpted kick, a bright and chiming synth-line, some chopped and processed vocal debris. The title cut begins and builds upon a cheeky melodic line, picking up punch in the first 3 minutes. At that point, however, the song gives way to a hurtling depth, as a swirling pad joins the mix, and “You Think” begins to sound like the hottest party in a wind tunnel you’ve ever attended. 

The EP’s B-side kicks off with with “Kayaki”, a contagious shuffle of cowbell and triangle, stutter clap and a splinter of MC vocal. Again, an airy synth merges into the rhythm (steam, this time). It’s not until a line of jazzy 303 keys enters the fray, more than halfway through the 8-minute track, that the groove is felt in its fullness – testament to this producer’s patience and verve. To even bring up “verve” begs the question of D. Tiffany, whose remix of “You Think” rounds out the EP. Given the D. Tiffany treatment, Fio Fa’s bright and sweeping loop becomes a series of omens barely resting on a wobbling bassline. The drum programming possesses her signature swing; simply, it hits. And despite or in light of the track’s hard edge, it still might make you smile – the snatches of melody are loopy and impish, and the whole production is animated by an immensely well-tuned playfulness (which may be the patron spirit, if not the sound, of Radiant Love).
