WRECKS WRADIO

For the latest Klasse Wrecks release, the label combine with Japan’s finest festival and events crew Rainbow Disco Club to collaboratively present WRECKSRDC.

Overrocket were an electro-pop band from Tokyo that enjoyed a grip of great releases in the early 2000s while signed to Neon Discs and its parent label Aten. During a digging session Luca Lozano discovered the forgotten tracks ‘Duralumin’ and ‘Shadow of the Sun’ and immediately set out trying to contact the band’s members to arrange a re-release and remix. A few months of patient trying, the connection was finally made and wheels were set in motion.

Musically the EP conjures up perfectly the sonics of that time, a grey area between analog convention and the unexplored territories of new digital freedom. Shadow Of The Sun is electro-pop perfection, with breezy vocals and a bouncing beat that sounds like nothing else around…past, present or future. Duralumin is a more dancey collection of blips and beats, one that will make sense in the current return to early 2000s aesthetics.

To round out the release and propel it into 2025, KW label bosses take a track each and interpret in their own way. Lozano revisits his electro roots with two remixes of Shadow of the Sun, distorted 808s and growling 101 basslines provide a simple backdrop for the perfect vocals. Mr. Ho takes Duralumin into a more driving and pacey direction, upping the energy and excitement with fast percussion and a huge side chained breakdown that recalls the unbridled rawness of the early 2000s, when everything was just a little bit more fun.

Keeping within the confines of Japan and in an effort to bring everything full circle, the label enlisted Japanese artist Gonno to master the tracks for an updated modern sound. The tracks themselves being mastered a few miles from where they were originally penned over 20 years ago.



WRECKSRDC1 - OVERROCKET - SHADOW OF THE SUN EP

Leeds Bleep-techno royalty Ability II aka David Duncan has been on the Wrecks radar for a few years now, the unison dating back to Luca Lozano’s remix of his evergreen anthem ‘Pressure’ in 2017. Since the remix the communication has stayed open and talks of a collaboration started, linking generations old and new.

That collaboration, recorded over a couple of years and a couple of studios, results in WRECKS057 ‘My Definition of Bass’. Four tracks split into two sides, the WRECKS side is taken care of by Lozano and long time collaborator and friend DJ Steve. The two producers live jammed sketches, recorded the sessions and then incorporated original vocals by Ability II, churning out acid wiggles and jacking drum tracks.

Ability then took these versions and then dubbed them out in his crossover style for the I9M side, resulting in two steppers made for the strictly for the bassbins. Echoing vocal layers and new instrumentation takes them out of the usual ‘wrecks wrealm’ and into new, dubbier territories.

For the 58th outing of the Wrecks anthology we’re very happy to welcome the new Argentinian producer Gastōn Cabrera to the ranks. Gastōn has piqued our interest for a while now with his unique and atmospheric productions and it’s a pleasure to have him join the Klasse Wrecks family.

The ‘Prohibido’ EP doesnt waste anytime getting to the point, a snarling beast that goes straight for the jugular. Spooky techno tropes mix with the best of yesteryear electro house stylings, it’s a sound that feels new and exciting yet at the same time very familiar. Both raw and musical, the 4 song record could soundtrack either a long lost John Carpenter horror or a Tron-esque retro sci-fi movie.

All physical copies bought via the Klasse Wrecks Bandcamp and website come with a new Wrecks sticker.

WRECKS058 - GASTÓN CABRERA - PROHIBIDO EP

Since its inception, Klasse Wrecks has always flirted with rap music flavours. Whether it’s Luca Lozano’s DJ Cabbage alter ego or the raw beats of the Grafiti Tapes series. Both label owners are big rap fans, with one (Mr. Ho) even being an ex-DMC scratch champ.

It makes sense then that the last release from KW in 2025 is the heavily Memphis-inspired ‘Straight From Hell’ EP, brought to you by the two mysterious producers DJ Skelet and Grim Phunk.

To use the term ‘stripped down’ would be an overstatement in regards to this EP, skeletal drums, booming kicks and frantic vocal loops done right make for a simple yet perfect mix. Tape hiss, MPC crunch and catchy loops are all integral to the vibe and music, tracks keep to a punchy 3-4 minutes and are interspersed by dreamy bonus beats just like in the old days.

WRECKS059 - DJ SKELET AND GRIM PHUNK - STRAIGHT FROM HELL EP

Timing is a funny thing and Mr. Ho knows this all too well. His biggest record dropped mid-lockdown when clubland was closed to the general public, the producer thinking he had then heard the end of it. The truth was in fact far from it, the 'Eu-Li' EP (he produced with soulful Seoul producer Mogwaa) went on to be repressed another 4 times and seemed to soundtrack a vast majority of clubbers return to some sort of normality. As the world is still reeling and the pressing plants are feeling the pressure of increased demand timing is a once again a factor in the release of Mr. Ho's debut album 'Michaelsoft' and the record seems to soldier on regardless and all the better for it. A perfect and sophisticated summation of the talented producers skill at making sonically slick groove-led music, ranging wide in genres and moods. The album is a journey of sorts, kicking off with the dreamy breaks of '000Baby' and the slightly broken beats of the spine-tingling 'Ngomee' before venturing into hectic and threatening electro with 'Quit Startin' and ghetto-funk stylings of '14me'. After listening to 'Michaelsoft' the listener is reminded once again of the subject of time, specifically the time the producer has spent silently honing and calmly perfecting his craft whilst the rest of the world seems to descend into chaos.

Mr. Ho - Bail-E (Jotel California Eclipse Mix)

Klasse Wrecks' first release of 2023 comes storming out of the gate, hot on the tail of Mr. Ho's previous album and his collaborative 'Eu-Li' EP with Mogwaa. 'Angel Number 909' is a collection of three versions of one track, the over-riding element in the EP is an incessant and catchy acidic synthline that bounds across racketing breakbeats and galloping basslines. Alongside the 'US Breaks' version is an old school influenced 'Acid House' version as well as a moodier 'House' mix. Three pedigree tracks that will be sure to go the distance on any dancefloor.

Lozano is back in the hot seat for August 2023, packing a lot of hidden gems from Spain and more.

WRECKS WRADIO - EN LA MEZCLA 4 - LUCA LOZANO

Luca Lozano and Mr. Ho buckle up in the bucket seats and bring you a shiny new collaboration in the form of TWOCKERS. Club-ready and suped up Hard-House bangers with an injection of classic Rap lyrics that are sure to slay every dancefloor.

This is not the sound of your favourite audiophile listening bar complete with gold plated Rotary mixer and wall of expensive unplayed vinyl, this is the sound of Southport’s Manhattans nightclub in 1997. This is the sound of Vauxhall Corsa’s driving down the M62 and Max Power compilation CDs with fresh hot rock burns in the casing.

Physical copies purchased from the Klasse Wrecks Bandcamp and website come complete with Klasse Wrecks bumper sticker. Also available is the official TWOCKERS XR3i mixtape courtesy of mastermind Omega III, each C90 physical tape cassette comes with a digital download of the EP via our websites.

Luca Lozano - No Rewinds

Florian Blauensteiner & Mr. Ho - BASF

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.
