Catalog: alpha31

A - Jitter Jaw (8:03)

Release Date: May 19, 2014

Alphahouse label-head Butane pairs up with New York’s Stephanie this May, with the ‘She Got That Janky Leg’ EP, comprising three original tracks from the duo. 

Andrew Rasse aka Butane launched the Alphahouse imprint in 2005 and has since released material from the likes of Alexi Delano, Skudge, Quenum and Kris Wadsworth, all of which have helped gain Alphahouse the highly praised status it maintains to this day. Here we see Rasse team up with Stephanie, a rising DJ & Producer on the New York circuit and further afield. Stephanie holds a residency at her home base’s leading nightclub, Output, which she’s earned after her relocation from Miami and a striking only three years behind the decks, which stands as testament to her skills as a DJ. 

The release opens up with ‘Jitter Jaw’, a raw bass-led number fueled by elongated subs, stabbing square wave bass hits and gritty analogue percussive sounds. Butane & Stephanie subtly evolve the drum programming over the cuts eight-minute duration, while the boomy bass sounds are processed and sporadic vocal licks drive the movement of the record. 

This is followed by ‘It’s Time To Jank’, which embraces a similar aesthetic with penetrating low-end sounds, shuffled rhythms and vocal chops. The drums take on a more direct club feel this time with their swung bumpy groove, while the powerful, hypnotic bass hook locks you in from the moment it’s introduced through to the tail end of the record. 

The release is then rounded off with ‘Talkin’ Jit’, which features Katel on vocals. The duo bring weighty 808 style drums to the forefront, alongside a meandering sub-bass hook to drive the composition. While Katel’s dubbed-out vocal lines are layered on top of the groove with crowd recordings, adding a further trippy feel to an already entrancing record. 

Butane & Stephanie’s ‘She Got That Janky Leg’ EP is out on Alphahouse 19th May 2014.

This is the story of C POWERS. To understand OYSTERS, you must understand the man behind it all...

THE UNITED STATES TERRITORY OF GUAM, ca. 1989

Abandoned at the island nation's only beachfront techno club as an infant, young Christoph (C POWERS) was adopted by the club's owner, Geraldo Powers. During Geraldo's time as a naval officer, he traveled the world throughout rave's formative years, secretly going to the underground parties when arriving to European ports after having originally fallen in love with early house music as a teenager in his native Chicago via roller-rink parties and the legendary Music Box headed by Ron Hardy. Rear Admiral Geraldo, outed as a gay homosexual during the discriminatory days of Ronald Reagan's U.S. military, was forced to retire, but spared a dishonorable discharge thanks to his roster of medals earning during his exemplary leadership for the invasion of Grenada in 1983. 

Throughout his three year stay at the local naval base, the now 30-something Gerry Powers had been struck by the natural beauty and unsettling mysticism of Guam and its peoples and  made the choice to permanently set up shop on the island after his unexpected retirement. Taking his partner and newly-crowned Supreme Butch Queen of the New York vogue circuit--Amadeus Lector--with him and financed with $6669.69 in prize money, the new era of DAS POUNDHAUS LTD. was to begin.

In 1990, Gerry founded the notorious Guamanian club DAS POUNDHAUS (the name of which was strongly influenced by a two-week long ecstasy and Polish speed-fueled bender during 1989's inaugural Love Parade in West Berlin). Located inside a decrepit lighthouse originally built during Spain's reign over the island, the club played host to a steady stream of closeted, Pacific-touring U.S. military personnel and later, the party-craving barons of the dot com bubble. Outed in private usenet circles for its off-the-charts hedonism, the club's infamous parties would inevitably lead to its perilous demise, and the eventual deportation of Gerry Powers and his family to the mainland. 

But there was one thing that could never be taken away from them...

...synesthesia...

You see, young Christoph was diagnosed with the "disorder" as a pre-teen after having been exposed to nearly a decade of DAS POUNDHAUS first-hand and at such a young age. The youngster was like a fish in water during his childhood in Guam, but when the family was deported in 1999, he began to show signs of anxiety and depression. His ability to hear colors and see sounds had simply turned into a stream of incomprehensible, uncontrolled static. He was now a pariah among his peers. Shunned and admonished. Assigned to sit by himself during school lunch. One of "those" kids. 

By this time, his two dads' relationship was on the rocks and would quickly unravel. Amadeus, frustrated with Gerry's incessant ramblings about bunkering in Montana because of the Clinton-Illuminati conspiracy to enslave the middle-class, decided to leave Gerry in an attempt to become a backup dancer for Madonna during her "Drowned World Tour" in 2001 (which would have provided a significant sum of financial security to the family, considering their life savings had been destroyed thanks to the toppling of the NASDAQ from its peak of 5048 in March of 2000--and thanks to those dot com baron stock tips, the Powers were all-in). However, Amadeus' unflinchingly "authentic" vogue style was considered obsolete, and he would go to die in a Reno Motel 6, a victim of drug abuse and that kind of thing apparently.


>>>>Fast-forward to the year2012ish>>>>

Young Christoph contacts PROPER TRAX via E-mail.

We’ve been sat on this EP for a few months and can’t wait to unleash Coldwater’s “Dirty Organs EP”.
 
Following the hugely successful DNA from Kry Wolf, Food Music welcomes producer Matthew Harvey under his new Coldwater moniker. The former DnB don delivers four upfront House and Techno tracks that will undoubtedly shake up clubs across the globe. 

All tracks on the EP provide a punchy and energetic sound but the varied use of melodies and textures throughout make this an extremely adaptable club release. With tracks like ‘Redblue’ and ‘Falington’ helping set the tone, ‘Dirty Organs’ and ‘Barrow’ deliver the peak time goods. Already gaining huge reactions, this EP is set to be a go-to tool for DJ’s allover.

date: 4th November 2016

format: 111 track - Digital Compilation

The closure of fabric has seen a reaction that has been completely humbling and overwhelming to all of us on the team here, from over 150,000 signing a petition of support to raising in excess of £300,000 in donations to help our legal fight. 

Support has come from every corner of the industry, with fundraising events at a number of different venues being held up and down the UK. This response perfectly encapsulates everything the electronic music community represents.

Both fabric Records and our artist led label Houndstooth decided a release that embodies this spirit would be a further powerful way to demonstrate the collective power of our community. We asked artists associated with both labels to donate a track to the cause, needing to act fast we gave a deadline of just 3 weeks in total, from inception to final master. The brief was simple, we asked for a previously unreleased track, either brand new or an alternative version of an old classic.

The response has been far greater than we could have ever anticipated, with an array of amazing artists delivering stunning tracks. Given this generosity every track that has been submitted is featured on the release, meaning an incredible 111 tracks make up the final running order, presented in alphabetical order.

Due to touring and time constraints many more artists could and would have like to have been involved, and we can’t give enough thanks to all the labels that have generously allowed their artists to contribute.

In the era of the playlist, this compilation represents a comprehensive overview of electronic music from the outer fringes of experimental explorations right through to music aimed squarely at the dancefloor.

Ahead of the court date which will determine the long term future of fabric nightclub we’d like to present this compilation as a document of this moment in time but also as the perfect embodiment of everything fabric is and stands for.
