6 E.P. III is taken from Headman's 6 album, which was released last year on Relish. Includes Remixes by Manfredas, Alejandro Paz, Shift Work and Reworks.
Following on from '6 EPI' and '6 EPII 'vinyl exclusives, 6 EP lll is a full digital release with 200 vinyl copies and artwork specially screen printed by RELISH label head Robi Insinna. The release has 3 remixes by Manfredas, Alejandro Paz, Shift Work and Reworks and Dubs by Headman/ Robi Insinna. There will also be 2 Videos done by Robi, one for 'Something' and another one for 'Work' Manfredas version.

Manfredas, who released his single last year on Ivan Smagghes LDdlm, remixes 'WORK'. The additional lyrics are by Autarkic an upcomig singer / producer from Tel Aviv who is part of the Red Axes stable.

Alejandro Paz of Mathias Aguayo's Comemé label who has released tracks such as 'Duro', remixes 'TAKE ME TO THE TOP.' The remix reflects his raw dance floor approach whilst adding rhythm and groove to the origional

Shift Work a new London based electronic project, who made their debut on Optimo Music, remix 'SLEEP RED!' They've been described as "Machine music for hypno dance floors and home listening trance outs"

Track 4 is Robi Insinna's own rework of 'SOMETHING' feat David Shaw on vocals. Robi's aim was to reinterpret the track, extend it and play around with the music as well as retouching and mixing the exsisting sounds. 'NUMBER 9' was also newly mixed with a new arrangement as well as extended. 'DONA' featuring Rosie from Ballet School, was given a dub treatment with a more monotonous driving groove and stripping down the original elements, like Bass and Synth and dubbing out Rosies vocals.

Finally comes 'TAKE ME TO THE DUB' Version, now with a real dub feel, muting things out and dropping them in again.

Hessle Audio are excited to announce the release of the self-titled debut album by Pearson Sound, aka label co-head David Kennedy. Characteristically minimalist in approach, its nine tracks use a handful of elements to craft mesmerising, self-contained worlds, alive with motion and near-subliminal detail: from vast and inky landscapes, to electrifying rhythm tracks, where layers of percussion and bass tumble over one another like rocks in a landslide. Recorded between 2013-4, Pearson Sound documents a distinct phase of Kennedy's studio explorations. "I had a signal chain set up that I was really happy with, and I started sending my machines through the same processes" he says. Expanding upon the techniques underpinning his recent REM and Starburst 12"s, its tracks emerged swiftly through improvised jam sessions; some were captured in a minimum of takes, while others later took shape through extensive sculpting and post-processing. "A lot of it was made by feeding the the same sounds between two different pieces of equipment and they'd end up feeding back between each other and snowballing. On some tracks it's about harnessing that and taking it to the brink before it disintegrates, and some of them are about just letting it go full-blown out of control." The result is a record of striking contrasts: bold, stark and visceral, yet also subtle, harmonically complex and deceptively playful. While Pearson Sound's livewire percussive energy remains inextricably rooted in the club, this exploratory studio process has created Kennedy's most wide-ranging yet coherent body of work to date: a suite of thrillingly impulsive, expressive and open-ended music, untethered from restrictions of form.


Pearson Sound - Crank Call

GIRLFRIENDS

6 E.P. III is the latest single to be taken from Headman’s 6 album, released last year on Relish.

Following on from 6 EPI and 6 EPII (who'd'a guessed it...) 6 EP lll is coming as a full digital release, along with 200 12" copies housed in specially screen printed artwork from Headman. The release has 3 remixes by Manfredas, Alejandro Paz, Shift Work and a couple of extra re-works/ dubs from Headman.

For our premier we've gone with the Manfredas mix of WORK, and we've gone with it because it's a demented piece of post punk genius that rifles through the pockets of Fad Gadget's chilling corpse whilst sucking on a clockwork cigar. It sounds like the music for nightclubs that only scary people and the wrong kind of drug buckets frequent, and is probably one of the best things we've heard all year. We're sure you'll agree.

Outside, beyond the screens, sticky and beautiful, undecided, dry grass is ready to burn. Our dreams are self-medicating; their dreams are boring. Who can afford them anyway? Times up. We’re too tired for sleep, we’re ready to push back, together. Spring is here. Not tomorrow, Today.

MUTUAL - Deflection

http://www.mixmag.net/music/exclusive/premiere-pev-kowton

For anyone that's familiar with Peverelist and Kowton and the former's label Livity Sound, you'll know they're connoisseurs of tough, brutal and ragged techno monsters. 

Kowton's deadly remix of Paul Woolford's 'Erotic Discourse' is a pretty decent example of that, while Pev's In Session for us last year is packed with freakish club cuts. 

After last year's 'Livity Sound Remixes', featuring Beneath, Surgeon, Pangaea and more, the Bristol pair are back with joint release 'Signal 3'/'Low Strobe'.

Order 12": http://store.houndstoothlabel.com/raw-materials.html

Just when you thought you had figured out how Marquis Hawkes was going to play it with Houndstooth, he flips the table over to reveal his rougher side, scattering playing cards, drinks and finger-snacks all over the floor. 

The aptly-titled 'Raw Materials' sees Hawkes making a welcome return to the more primitive house rhythms for which he first became known for on his early work for Dixon Avenue Basement Jams. Highly influenced by house originators like Ron Hardy, Gene Hunt and Roy Davis Jr, 'Raw Materials' updates the form with modern production techniques whilst simultaneously preserving authenticity. 

The title track eases us gently into Hawkes' more edgy side, with dreamy vocals, dusty pads and deep 808 beats. The flip however takes no prisoners with two cuts of raw drum machine clatter flanked by strained vocal cuts on '‘Ave That', and primal analogue tones on 'Jerk U Later': deadly dance floor destroyers designed to drill straight to your core.
