1979 Afrodisia Records Nigeria
Christy Essien Igbokwe’s 1979 Afro-funk gem ’You Can’t Change A Man’ has been reemerging lately thanks in no small part to the African Shakedown 12″ released earlier in the year, which brought together four long-lost Afro-disco edits. Here, Borrowed Identity doesn’t do much to the gloriously funky vocal track but extend it and make it a little more DJ friendly.

Heart Made Of Stone

Moomin - Loop No 1

Nuno dos Santos’ boutique label SoHaSo (shorthand for Something Happening Somewhere; although, sadly the same can no longer be said of Trouw) has been cruising steadily for the best part of two years now, but "Tonii" might just be the best thing committed to wax yet. Love Over Entropy's 12m original is sturdy with bright flourishes throughout, forever climbing and searching without resolve; techy without, y'know, being techy. 

This retouch comes from none other than Innervisions' main man, although  less overtly lovelorn than we've come to expect. He  twists the lead melody into something resembling a steel pan drum, backed by laser-guided synths pinging all around: a festival-sized breakdown held just at the precipice, never fully cresting. Dixon, you big tease.

Released on 13/04/15

Pin D'Angio 'Okay Okay' (Glenn Astro Edit)

The first Musik For Autobahns was a delight: softly-softly ambient and subtle cuts from the likes of Move D, Suzanne Kraft, Roman Flügel and plenty more besides. Even amongst Rush Hour's bounty that year, it stood proudly out. A ripple of excitement went through BR HQ upon finding out Gerd Janson was lining up a second, with no shortage of marquee signings all coming correct with their A game.

A number of heads come together to translate these thoughts into sound - from Fort Romeau's Drive-esque "Seleno" joyride through to the propulsive "Melancholy" of Disco Nihilist. Perhaps none elicit as many feels as the enveloping opener from Leon Vynehall though.

As well as being a mesmeric mimic of accelerating down Bundesautobahn 5 at daybreak, "Midnight on Rainbow Road" got our Debut nod for three main reasons: firstly, it kicked off last year's sublime set from Gerd & Ata (so, about time); second, it's a welcome return for Mr Vynehall after a richly deserved breakout year; third, dude's got previous with N64 titling. And that's something we can all get behind.

Musik For Autobahns 2 is out in September. Pre-order it here: rushhourmusic.bandcamp.com (digital) + http://bit.ly/Autobahns_2 (physical)

Leon Vynehall "Midnight On Rainbow Road" - Boiler Room Debuts

Synthesizer is a pretty funny word, when you've said it hundreds of times in succession (see below...). The debate whether or not we should be using the Americanism of a 'z' instead of an 's' aside, it sends that same fizzy feeling through your lips that words such as sizzle, suspicious and salaciousness (Did you buy a dictionary? - Ed.) do and leaves your tongue tingling in delight.

Though Legowelt's instrumental take on 'Broken Mirror' from Random Factor might not do an awful lot for your taste buds, unless you decide to try biting a chunk out of the wax, it'll have your ears sizzling so salaciously (That's not how that word works - Ed.) that they'll be wagging with glee.

Go on, delve into this sonic synthesizer-filled special.

PREMIERE: Random Factor - Broken Mirror (Legowelt Instrumental)

Telescope Lover (Tuff City Kids remix)

Released 08.02.16.

Early last year we played at the small but perfectly formed, Oma Doris club in Dortmund. One of the residents that night was a young DJ by the name of Mr Fries, who during the night handed us a CD of demos.

Immediately impressed with what we heard, the idea of an EP was formed. 
Nearly a year later we are proud to present the newest member of the pack!

First up on remix duties is Hodini whose recent EP on Max Graef and Glenn Astro, Money $ex Records has been on constant rotation since it's release.

Hodini is an alias of prolific German Hip-Hop producer, Hulk Hodn and a major influence on Mr Fries who has sighted he was one of reason he was one of the main reasons he started to make beats.

To round of the EP we've enrolled long time friend Garth BE. The artist featured previously on WOLFEP003 back in 2009 with All The Thrills. Since then he has setup the fantastic Sweet Sticky Records, releasing two full length LPs to great acclaim.

Streaming in full through our channels, @switch02 '03 23 (Notte)' is a brakeless lo-fi electro bomb changing through the various shades of the rainbow. Breaking through a tight corridor at full pelt, halfway heart-rending nostalgia and the promise of a brighter future, the track pulsates and soars betwixt revving breaks motifs and a murmuration of tear-jerking synth arpeggios. You'll get back to it, again and again with the same intact enthusiasm. Killer!
