Reptant 'Lizard Eyes' [Kalahari Oyster Cult]

For the first Klasse Wrecks release of 2024, the label looks back to 2020 and a previously digital only track from label co-owner Mr. Ho. During the first lockdown of covid Mr. Ho released '000Baby' as part of the digital 'Homeboys' EP alongside Luca Lozano. An alternative version popped up on the 'Michaelsoft' album in 2021 but the much lauded original has never seen the light of day on wax....until now. The first 10inch on Klasse Wrecks also features a suped and sped up interpretation from Om Unit, who expertly increases the pressure with deft 808 bass subs, a half time swagger and dubbed out atmospherics.

Well this one has been a long time coming.

My last full release came out over two years ago and in the mean time I’ve mainly been busy parenting it up with my two girls. Music took a bit of a back seat and I think you can all agree that that is probably fair enough.

Now they’ve grown up a bit I’ve finally got some time to get back in the studio and twiddle the old knobs again and boy has it been a joy! I don’t think I realised how much I had missed making freaky bass lines and shooting lazer sounds...

These three tracks are the beginning and I am working on many more that I will be getting out over the next few months so keep those ears peeled and eyes to the ground.


HHANDS029 - Desert Sound Colony - Little By Little EP (Clips)

Scottish producer and Earworm head-honcho Bolam expands the label with a special collaboration - Off The Meds vocalist Kamohelo Khoaripe. A wonky, deep and percussive two tracker: “OMFG, That’s Not Nice”

Born from a friendship formed through social media upon like-minded sensibilities, Bolam & Kamohelo’s similar attitudes towards music is an electrifying crossover. The EP showcases a dynamic mix of snappy, wrist-flicking drums and glitchy earcandy anchored by Kamo’s standout vocals. The lyrics, while being open to interpretation, explore technology's influence on happiness and entertainment in the modern world, albeit with a hint of dystopia woven in. This theme is mixed with Bolam’s beatsmith skills which are, as always, filled with giddy tongue-in-cheek character from start to finish.

"It's a London thing!"

Thoma Bulwer's Parasol Culture label brings together the 90s influenced, eclectic sound of East London for their first collaboration 'Wick Voyagers Vol. 1'. Featured on the release are artists, friends and collaborators who have all worked with Thoma via his TB Mastering studio in Hackney Wick. The aptly titled compilation captures a moment in time, transporting me back to sunny Sunday sessions along the Hackney canal where you'll find these selectors playing bouncy, hypnotic records, spanning across minimal, 90s house, tech house, and electro. Haunts such as Oval Space, Village Underground, Lion & Lamb, Number 90, and The Pickle Factory all spring to mind and not to mention the famed Sunday afternoon parties at fabric with Villalobos taking reigns of the club. London's rave answer to church. With the likes of Voigtmann, Bobby, N-Gynn, Anna Wall, Robert James, Goodnight Cowboy, Adam Curtain, Subb-an and more featured on the release, it's a brilliant showcase of this particular East London community.

Trouble Maker Records founder Adam Curtain's contribution, 'Pest Control', draws from his typical twisted sound, featuring a looping, trance-inducing rhythm and sci-fi, alienated soundscapes.
