What better way to mark reaching the halfway point of our ten-part R.I.P. 50WEAPONS series, than with a work by its own creators. #045 sees Shed's orthodox techno "Dark Planet" get twisted into five minutes of broken beats and hypnotically heavy bass – thanks to the doing of label bosses and Pawlowitz's longtime friends, Modeselektor. Two names that haven't shared a release since the very first Modeselektion.

50WEAPONS045 drops on 13 November. Set your digital and vinyl pre-orders down now.

Since its inception in 2002, Third Ear's output has remained ineffably reliable and multifaceted whilst carrying forth a distinct and tangible sense of soul. Now, 13 years on, Wbeeza makes a welcome return home and follows up a slew of lauded EPs on the label as well as his 2010 debut LP, 'Void' with only his second album, 'Expression Of Love'. And what an album it is. A long term favourite among both House traditionalists and experimentalists, Warren Brown entwines Jazz, Hip Hop, Detroit Techno, Soul and Disco with impressive ease, and with Expression Of Love the Peckham, South London-born and bred producer expands on his canon and presents 7 cuts that fans both old and new will relish. The opening track, 'Say Nuttin' kicks things off with a long-tailed kick pulsing beneath tight shuffles and syncopated ride shots. Rich and complex rhythms interweave and propel rich, swirling synth tones before 'Cosmic Jazz' goes deeper, setting a hypnotic vocal through stop-start kick patterns and creamy Detroit pads. 'It's A Sign' finds Wbeeza returning to the work of Gil Scott Heron once again. He takes two different samples and deftly works them into a heavy, claustrophobic groove, with a subtly processed sax loop circling asymmetrically throughout. 'Work' sits a cartoonish snippet from a recording of a gang member explaining his reaction to one of his homies being shot dead, over freely sequenced drum work and a steadily filtered bass line to mesmerizing effect. Experimental in its development - 'Expression Of Love' is the centre-piece of the album. The track goes through some startling changes and atmospheres. At 109 bpm, glowing Rhodes tones, tumbling bongos, creaking kick drums and shining synths sweep out over its 14 minute duration. A blue, languid groove steadily blooms into focus and is then dismantled. 'Turn The Lights Off' evokes a dark club with low ceiling and sweat dripping off the walls, through spectral tones and a voice that intones 'Turn The Lights Off, Turn The Music Up', propelled by one of Wbeeza's famous kick drums. 'Cakewalk' then brings things to a close with some playful MPC work. Truncated Soul samples are carried by no-nonsense rhythms before a switch up snaps in to catch the dance floor off guard. Added shuffles and trumpet snips build a buoyant and Jazzy vibe that brings another coup for Third Ear and another truly fine addition to Wbeeza's catalogue to a close.

Klasse Recordings and Grafiti Tapes impresario, Luca Lozano, rolls up to Hypercolour with a 12” par excellence of genre blending, future dance grooves.  Leaning on his Sheffield upbringing, it’s of no surprise that the break beats, edits and bleeps of his native city seeps into his own forward thinking productions.  Having racked up some super releases for Sex Tags UFO, Optimo Trax, Crème Organization, alongside his own imprints, Lozano really impresses on his Hypercolour debut.  

‘Gun Fingers’ is a strictly heads down affair, luscious synths, tantalising breaks and heavyweight b-line sandwich in-between pounding kicks for a classy cut, whilst ‘Calling All Dancers’ is indeed a call to rave, laced with the familiar components of a golden era of UK dance, that never slips into pastiche, instead sounding fresh, vital and relevant to the times.

Kindred spirit, DJ Sotofett, weighs in with two versions of ‘Gun Fingers’ exclusively for the vinyl edition of this release.  Those who know Sotofett’s killer style will know the score here, and he certainly does not disappoint.  And those who spent time chasing around motorways and A roads in search of the party will most definitely know what’s up on this set of remixes!

Emotional Response returns to Dusseldorf with a compilation of the music emanating out of the Diskant label over some 7EPs between 2009-2014. Featuring the productions of The Durian Brothers, Harmonious Thelonious and Don’t DJ, their unique polyrhythmic percussive sound of the label is highlighted across this special double album.

Releasing this collection of works of the Diskant label is special as it was the discovery of Disk01 on the wall of Honest Jons store back in 2009 that was one of the prime influences in the creation of Emotional Response. Obscure, rhythmic music like no other was matched in striking artwork, presented on screen-printed sleeves,that caught the imagination. 

Since then a lot has become known about Dusseldorf’s music scene. DJs, artists and labels like Musiccargo, Wolf Müller, Lena Wilikens, Tolouse Low-Trax, Themes From Great Cities, Vladimir Ivkovic, Kunstopf, B.A.R and more have all deservedly reached out beyond the original meeting and melting pot that is the Salon Des Amateurs to become names to watch.  With so much interest centred on this cultural hive, it is only right that the Diskant collective of musicians is now viewed and their music appraised for how ground breaking and influential it has been on the Cities unique musical perspective.

Born out of the early years of the Salon (check online for suitable live clips), the label was set up as a vehicle for the music and member’s music of The Durian Brothers. Florian Meyer (Don’t DJ), Marc Matter and Stefan Schwander (Harmonious Thelonious) came together from their own music backgrounds to explore a new experimental polyrhythmic para-funk via  distorted electronics. Using specially prepared turntables, hypnotic rhythmic patterns, noise and sequencing they have created a dense and fuzzy excess that over four sides of vinyl is here now presented as a retrospective, but not an end, to highlight their unique sound.
