NDATL continues with a slice from Claude Young, Alcé recruits Detroit native for the next release on NDATL. The EP waits no time & cuts right in with "The Knife", the 12"s title track, it's big stabs, deep bass shuffling beats show that Young is in top form. "No Regrets'" sublime & ethereal strings and chords exemplify Young’s uniqueness. The breezy deepness of “Santa Barbra” will make the dancer fly. As “The Promenade” wraps up the EP with a relaxing mood & vibe.

New York City’s tape_hiss makes his debut on Darker Than Wax with A Linear Progression, a deep and meditative dance record born out of the pandemic’s paradigm shift. tape_hiss is an accomplished producer by any measure, with early releases on Love Notes from Brooklyn making his hardware-driven sound known worldwide, and a string of follow up releases on Axe on Wax, Just Jack, Lost Palms, and Echocentric Records solidifying his reputation as one of the deepest in the game. With A Linear Progression, the artist has approached his craft from new angles with stunning results.

While tape_hiss’s previous work had all found its genesis in a kitted-out studio, driven by melodies and chord progressions, the tracks making up A Linear Progression were all built around one tool - the MPC 1000. On weekend trips out of the city to visit family during 2020, the producer would bring only his MPC and put together these tunes, finding inspiration in its limitations and delving deep into 90s sampling techniques. After getting back to the studio, he would record what was created - sometimes nearly fully formed tracks, and other times core ideas to expand upon. The cumulation of this process was an entirely new take on the tape_hiss sound - dubby, euphoric, and exploring a wide range of tempos and beat patterns.

First single ‘W 4th Street (ACE) exemplifies this - a spacey roller thats not a club track, but would work equally well in that environment. Other standouts include ‘Energy Transfer’ with its heavily 90s-inspired electro-not-electro vibe, and the genreless ‘Heartbreaking’, constantly moving its momentum upward, yet remaining an introspective cut. More of a mixtape than a club 12”, A Linear Progression marks a step forward in the producer’s musical growth, and we are ecstatic to be here for it.

6 years in is probably a good time to look back and count our blessings. Some of the highlights from our catalogue but we also licensed some favourites that are currently hard to get on vinyl such as Pirahnahead's Inner Turmoil and Stacy Kidd's Body Jerkin. This is the ultimate Swiss Knife of soulful disco inspired dance music.
Hope you ll enjoy this set of gems. May it never leave your record back!
This is for the dance floor!

Pre-order 'Somebody Samebody' (available in digital & limited vinyl on May 24th) 
> https://coop.bandcamp.com/

CoOp Presents Sivey, with an all-new double-header of heat, ‘Nobody Else’ and ’Somebody Samebody’. For those that don’t know, Manchester-based Sivey came to some notoriety in the future beats scene a couple years back, releasing music with the LA-based collective Soulection, as a solo artist and via collaborations with Evil Needle, which came to fruition after a series of online beat battles, as well as releases and remixes drop on labels like Astral Blackand Ninja Tune.

The recent resurgence of the broken beat movement was something that also inspired Sivey, admiring the balance between musicality and danceability.  Eager to share the results with the world, it made perfect sense for his first bruk offerings to find a home at CoOp Presents.

These two tracks exemplify the ever-evolving progression of Sivey’s sonics : the familiar deep keys and synth sounds of his previous productions are there, but nestled alongside more uptempo grooves, and the lush rhythmic complexity of bruk.  As well as the original tracks, IG Culture provides a dope bruk-funk flip of ‘Somebody Samebody’ to close out the set. 

IG Culture is a London musician and performer best known as a pioneer of the broken beat movement. His production features rhythms and hybrids of several musical styles such as jazz-fusion, funk and soul. He recently won the liftetime achievement awards at Gilles Petersons Worldwide Awards 2019 and is currently heading up the CoOp presents label alongside Alex Phountzi.
