Needs moves into the future of vinyl production partnering with Green Vinyl Records in Holland to produce a 100% recyclable record which uses 60% less energy cost compared to traditional vinyl production methods. This revolutionary step in vinyl history features the production skills of Saoirse, Reptant, Sansibar, Pugilist, LUXE and Hassan Abou Alam.

For Needs 009 we welcome another all-star lineup of producers, established and emerging, from around the world. Featuring room 1 ready techno from one of the scenes leading lights Saoirse; a bass heavy, electro-tech weapon from Melbourne's Pugilist; the cosmic electro baselines of the irrepressible Reptant; an otherworldly space excursion courtesy of Norway’s finest Sansibar; dancehall inflected acid trance from London-based up and comer LUXE; and to round things off some twisted breaky tech-house from Egypt’s latest export Hassan Abou Alam.

THE PROBLEM
With 4.3m vinyl sales in the UK last year (the 12th consecutive year of growth), it’s clear that vinyl is back in a BIG way. But the basic technological principles of record pressing have not changed for a century. While the vinyl boom has been a bright spot for physical media lovers and the record industry alike, pressing vinyl poses a more urgent environmental concern than it did in the format’s heyday. At times, the process can seem almost antithetical to green living. Records are made of PVC, which comes from refined oil and can take up to 1,000 years to decompose in a landfill. Traditional pressing machines are powered by steam boilers that require fossil fuels to generate heat and pressure; the water used is treated with anti-corrosive chemicals in order to prevent rusting, thus creating more wastewater. And that’s just the pressing procedure.

Consider, then, vinyl’s packaging and distribution. The ink that’s used to print cover art and liner notes is traditionally solvent-based, meaning it contains volatile organic compounds that can contribute to the production of ozone. Once the record is encased in a beautiful jacket, it’s then shrink-wrapped in plastic wrap before boarding a gas-burning, carbon-emitting truck to ship. Suddenly the choice to buy physical music shifts from an action that helps sustain an artist’s career, to one that potentially threatens broader sustainability.

THE SOLUTION
In 2019 Needs started conversations with Green Vinyl, a brand new pressing plant based in Holland, who have devised a revolutionary production method which uses injection moulding rather than steam energy, equalling 60% less energy cost than the traditional vinyl production. It also uses no PVC and is a 100% recyclable product, meaning you can dispose of it in your home recycling bin.

The other benefits are that the record sounds better (it has a wider frequency spectrum), it cannot warp, and it also has a longer play life.

The key features of a Green Vinyl produced record are:
- Injection Moulding instead of steam pressing
- 60% less energy cost 
- No PVC
 - 100% recyclable product
- Wider frequency spectrum - sound is equal or better than traditional vinyl pressing 
- Longer stamper life time - can be played more than 400 times (traditional vinyl starts to deteriorate after 100 plays)
- Rapid vinyl turnaround of 8 weeks (wait times are generally 12-16 weeks)
- No warping of records 
- No paper labels

Green Vinyl is currently the only pressing plant in the world with this technology and we are proud and honoured to be the first label to work with them and share this amazing new technology with you all.

Join us as we change the future of vinyl <3

B3. Hassan Abou Alam - Cluttered (Needs 009)

Tunlaw Rd in DC was named after Tunlaw Farm which was located in what is now Glover Park. According to local legend during the Civil War many walnut trees were cut in that area to make gunstocks. To make the name more exotic Walnut was reversed into Tunlaw.

RE:DREAM

AK-One - Islands In The Sky

Ukranian DJ & producer Monotronique makes his debut release for Hypercolour after having an impressive run of releases for the likes of Livity Sound, Banoffee Pies, Opal Tapes and Hyperboloid Records. Born and raised in Kharkiv, Monotronique aka Roman Kurhan has, in the face of the devastating attack on his city and country, continued to push forward with his music, and pulls together four exemplary new tracks on the ‘Uh Oooh’ EP, serving up thoroughly modern electro beats and deep sonic excursions.

Hypercolour will be forwarding all label profits from this release to savelife.in.ua with funds directly supporting the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Uh Oooh

PREMIERE: Monotronique - I Want That (Hypercolour)

Ross Harper said: ‘Narcissist' is inspired by my time in the organised evangelical church, where I came across some very well meaning individuals, but actually the agenda was very controlling. I grew up in a single parent family with just my mum around, and I associate more with the feminine than the masculine, in the end, although I have a serious faith in God, I found the male dominated evangelical church very oppressive to my spirit. Interestingly when I challenged the male leadership regarding issues of why homosexuals were not allowed to be church members I met severe opposition, they wrote me a letter asking me to justify my beliefs against scripture, so I decided it was time to leave that chapter of my life.

’Narcissist’ is taken from Ross Harper’s forthcoming ’The Dark Album’ released on City Wall Records on 31 October. Ross Harper’s supporters include Slam, Kolsch, Maceo Plex, Charlotte de Witte, Jennifer Cardini, Skream, John Digweed, and Local Suicide.

PREMIERE: Ross Harper - Narcissist

A staple within the Eora music scene, Harley Ferris has aligned himself with the turbo sounds of prog, trance, and techno. With a solid foundation built under his previous moniker ‘Precursors’, a progressive house duo, Harley Ferris as a solo artist has proven his abilities, having just released his debut EP ‘Collider’ on Naarm-based label Spinning Around. Dripping with lush synths, rolling baselines, and heavy club-ready drum patterns, the 4-track prog release is a stunning entry into Harley’s journey as a solo artist. This mix follows beautifully in suit, journeying through 60 minutes of prog, trance, and techno, optimal for any after-dark antics on the dancefloor.
