Not An Animal is a label that was born from the party debris left uncleaned from London’s infamous Bad Passion parties, run by Chris Stoker and Andy Bainbridge. The leftfield imprint’s next release comes from label co-pilot Andy Bainbridge himself, who has been DJing for over 25 years, and as an integral part of the Bad Passion crew together with Stoker, they ran their infamous parties in the East corner of London. Andy Bainbridge has DJ’d extensively throughout Europe and is a mainstay at festivals like Houghton and Love International. His music production includes making tracks as part of Machete Savane, Latrec and A.M Edits, with releases on Felix Dickinson's Cynic, Futureboogie and Is It Balearic. 
 
For his debut solo release on Not An Animal, Andy Bainbridge serves up a raw, late-night house dub, accompanied by sizzling remixes from Donaldʼs House and Komodo for good measure. ‘Up Too Much’ starts simply evoking house classics of old. Dubby percussion sets the genre, the Buchla synth wobbles that form the tracks melody are delicately peppered with acid sprinkles and a vocal garnish bringing the track squarely into the modern day to form a tough yet gentle roller.  Next off the pass is the Donaldʼs House remix, finely weaving the essence of the original mix into a proggy sidewinder, highlighting the acid arps previously lurking in the background and slowly melting the track into a delicious trancey mess. Closing out, Komodo kicks off in a classic Chicago style; claps, stabs and all, with vocal samples adding that extra texture for that knockout punch.

PREMIERE : Andy Bainbridge - Up Too Much

The music coming from Vrsion & Nikol’s collaboration captured our attention from the very first listen. With this tenth O.C.D release, we strive to showcase timeless music that we feel will be appreciated as much now as well into the future.
 
Together they are ‘Body Copy’, a collaborative project between two artists which blossomed in Leeds. Gavin Herlihy (Vrsion), a name that won’t be new to those who were around the early 2000s when he was releasing his music with the most interesting labels of the time and lately on Craig Richard’s The Nothing Special label. 

Chris Nicholls (Nikol), resident of the Leeds-Barcelona project MASS has taken steps into his production career with promising results on their first record. For us, this EP has a very special flavour, expressing darker tones compared to the latest EPs on the label.

Tracklist: 

A1. Nikol - Glimpse Of The Future
A2. Body Copy - The Approach
B1. Body Copy - Pictures
B2. Body Copy - Context

PREMIERE : Ivaylo - Lifter (Øyvind Morken's Walking On A Cloud Mix)

Warm and melancholic deepness from Edinburgh’s underground fixture Jacksonville. With more than 20 years of experience in making music, the Hizou & Innershift affiliate can get deep and funky with the machines while keeping an eye on the dance floor. His take on deep house is uncompromising but subtle : crisp drums, heavy basslines, lush melodies and hypnotic arrangements is what you can expect on this ep.

Conoley Ospovat, with appearances on
Otake, Kimochi Sound, Blankhaus, and Cervidae, continues to build his long-running home imprint: Continental Drift. 

Opening with a jazzy, atmospheric strut, Transcontinental Trip's title track sets the tone for this record as a more driving, bassline-focused affair than some of his recent downtempo excursions. The taut restraint & open air vibe of loose drumming & field recordings for Hold On feel like a nonchalant response to Ricardo's Sei Es Drum. Then, Ospovat's attention to melody & clever programming comes to the fore again on Sunbreaks. The tune is a moody dancefloor builder full of twists & turns before the EP closes out with the carbonated haze of Pacific Coast Rain.
