Had a year hiatus from putting these archive sets out but back with a bang in 2024 where all being well there will be a glut of sets coming your way from the Plex audio vaults, stay tuned and follow if you want further notifications on these.

To kick this next phase off I couldn't think of a better artist to do so, Plant43.
Emile has been a long time friend and ally of Plex & Colony and this is a live set from 10 years back at the 1st P/C/B party we did along with Bleed. 
Despite personal troubles for me on the day I look back at this line-up in awe still, it was right up there with the best of them!

Recorded at 5am in room 2 after Pangaea just torn the place apart with a  blistering 3hr workout. It's a beautifully crafted spacey electro live set that flows perfectly from start to finish, just as you would expect from a master of this sound. Thanks Emile and I hope you all enjoy!

As the sun shone into the studio it felt like a good time to play some house – beginning with Pépé Bradock, we rolled into Mark Broom’s Kingpin Cartel, before settling on Larry Heard’s Mr. Fingers.

From there the jazz fusion of Al Di Meola, Victor Wooten, bassist for Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, and the tale of Tubby the Tuba. We go deep with Leftfield, Kareem Ali, and Steve von Till, before playing the full 12 minutes of Rufige Kru’s Hornet 127.

Following a brief detour via The Fall, the rest of the show orbits around indie folk, pop, electronica, and Cuban sounds. With music from Destroyer, Lp Giobbi, Panda Bear, Ry Cooder, Skullcrusher, Smalltown Supersound, and Beth Orton. Closing with one of my favourite tracks by Killing Joke. RIP Geordie Walker.

Coming Soon: Not Even Close, by Raw Village Hall

When It Stops
Not Even Close
X (C Mantle Rmx) 
You Greedy Fat Bastard 

After a decade's silence (!?) Raw Village Hall is back with a second EP of hardware-based breakcore and rave-infused machinations. Following on from 2014's Nothing But Mediocrity at the Shows (Acre Recordings), Edinburgh's Gregg Davies drops follow-up Not Even Close. Davies produces as Raw Village Hall, Savier and (with Ingen) as Savagen and, whether the focus is amens and breakcore or mid-tempo industrial, Davies has a distinct raw, hard edged sound with a strong dancefloor focus. Not Even Close pummels with classic amens, hoovers, heavy reeses and industrial kicks and these, coupled with tight production and arrangements, mean this EP will be become a go-to choice for DJs.

01. Confused Smiles
02. Ungrateful Skills
03. Interrupted
04. The Guide
05. Excess of Power 06. Creating Pleasures
  

 
If you are a fan of techno and have paid attention to the most relevant producers lately, you will surely have come across the name of the maker of this EP. Roll Dann is one of the fittest creators on the Spanish scene and this is demonstrated by his work for labels such as Soma Quality Recordings or Mord among others.
 
His specialty is the most combative and direct techno, but with a solid foundation in the best tradition of this sound, the roots that come from the best British techno of the nineties, combined with a current and powerful sound design. This in-depth knowledge of the fundamentals of the genre leads him to easily master everything necessary to move an intelligent dance floor and throughout the six cuts that make up this work he demonstrates it with solvency and professionalism.
 
Starting with the introduction Confused Smiles, Roll Dann prepares us for the storm that will follow, which opens fire with Ungrateful Skills, straight to the jugular, made with crunchy continuous sequences, with the appropriate dose of distortion riding on a compact and direct rhythm, all with an hypnotic and obsessive progression that makes it a dangerous tool for the most experienced DJs.
 
Interrupted slides towards more liquid terrain without abandoning the danceable impulse, but soon things get more aggressive with the emergence of successive layers and sequences.
 
The Guide descends into the depths of the underground sound, rubbery and smoky, stretching and modifying the frequencies, playing with distortion and aggressiveness in a risky but nevertheless very effective exercise in the club.
 
Excess of Power, a kind of rhythmic tunneling machine that pierces the eardrums and stirs up the sound systems,  taking us to the last cut, Creating Pleasures stops the machine and experiments with textures and industrial influences, a farewell in style for a high-voltage EP.
