Keep calm & Never Be Normal.

Premiere : Ruven Medici - Back To The Roots  [NBN008]

This EP contains 4 tracks inspired by the dance music boom in Europe from the late 80s to early 90s. Luis composed all the tracks using a Novation BassStation, an Akai MPC 2000XL for the drums and sampling, and a Korg M1 for the pads and melodies, using the occasional VST where appropriate.

A1 “Miedo aqui estoy” (Fear, here I am) combines a fast bassline with a hypnotic melody, New Wave influences and shades of electro unite to create an immersive atmosphere. The message ‘no to fear’ being transmitted through optimistic and euphoric pads. 

A2 “Neminem Laedere”, inspired by New Wave sounds and rhythm, this track uses bright synths to create audio textures that invite introspection. The hypnotic melodies repeat throughout, enforcing the title's message ‘do no harm’.

B1 “Noches y Amaneceres” Taking the heavy and dark rhythms of new beat and entwining the contagious melodies of Italo provided by bright synths, this fusion gives the track a unique bouncy atmosphere.

B2 “Violines en el barrio”, A track that revolves around a focus on sampling. The breakbeat influence accompanying synths with an 80s flavour and pads providing a deeper texture.

A1 Miedo, Aqui Estoy
A2 Neminem Laedere
B1 Noches Y Amaneceres
B2 Violines En El Barrio

Luis Del Barrio - Maximalpayés EP (SCR006)

Trippy Journey presents Dollar Cat EP — a cosmic musical adventure dedicated to the memory of Dollar, the beloved cat, muse, and symbol of the label. As with every Trippy Cat release, this EP continues the cosmic saga of Dollar the cat. Through music, Dollar travels to distant planets, guiding listeners through worlds unknown in the pursuit of sound.
The release includes two solid remixes. Dollar Cat is reimagined by Prince de Takicardie, delivering a hypnotic Dark House sound, perfect for late-night dancefloors in uncharted galaxies. The second remix comes from DOTT for Serving Size, whose style blends deep minimal rhythms with interstellar vibes, creating a striking contrast to the darker tones of the first remix.

This release is a tribute not only to Dollar but to all the beloved cats who have left their mark on our hearts.

Comes in limited 180 gram black Vinyl!

Mastered by Marco Pellegrino at Analogcut.

Reference Mark Mix 003 ※ Tañ

The fourth instalment of the Reference Mark Mix Series. Past, present and future friends of the label are given the chance to reference the sounds that define them.

Tything Collective make their second appearance in the series with The Third Worst DJ In England aka Jacob Ratcliffe. As the host of The Bootleg John Peel Show on Threads Radio (previously hosted on 199 Radio) Jacob effortlessly ties music together not by distinct genres or bpm but by timbre and feel. His shows cover everything from Aphex Twin to Nina Simone to Omar Souleyman to a Wiley Vs Kano clash; RMM004 follows suit. This is a true odyssey, starting at funk, going through the hardcore continuum (briefly stopping at Bollywood and new wave on the way!) and ending up at the Looney Tunes.

Reference Mark Mix 004 ※ The Third Worst DJ In England

In collaboration with Paris' recordshop Dizonord, Knekelhuis will close the summer of 2019 with this amazing gem. Beyond the Beat will burst dancefloors soon. 

Founded in 1990 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Cold Front were what you'd call early adaptors, their music at the time of its inception an oddity. This fourpiece, consisting of spouses Ayanna and Cam Muata, Jon Jon Scott and Ron Clark, were far ahead of their time and faded just as rapidly as they entered the stage, only playing a handful of local shows in support of Nine Inch Nails, Meat Beat Manifesto and such, alongside several cameos during early house nights and techno events.

Though short lived, their music nevertheless speaks volumes. It's intriguing stuff, a magical association of sound reminiscent of Ron Hardy and Klein MBO. New Beat-like drum parts, overdubbed by politically engaged raps, basslines that would make The Cure proud, held together by freakout speaking in tongues vocal experiments while also showing an obvious parallel to the rise of triphop at the other side of the ocean.

After a short break, we are back to bring you another hour of power. This time we are blessed with another BPM affiliate, Alice Tapper. If you’ve ever been to a Love Muscle, Equaliser or Brudenell Groove night in Leeds then you will have seen Alice – whether that be witnessing her get groovy behind the decks in the bar at Wharf Chambers, Sheaf Street or Belgrave, or giving it all on the dancefloor - you will have seen her. The connection to these distinctly energetic nights can be heard throughout this 90% vinyl mix with Alice’s own character and charm shining through. Be prepared for powerful vocals, funky basslines and a sprinkle of tasteful acapellas.

The tenth instalment of the Reference Mark Mix Series. Past, present and future friends of the label are given the chance to reference the sounds that define them.

Reference Mark Recordings founder Alfred uses this early yet important milestone in the mix series to showcase what the Reference Mark “sound” is all about: ‘Every track is significant to me in some way or another – whether that be a track made by myself or a close friend, a track that brings back fond memories of a night, or one that triggers a strong emotion. The opening couple of tracks reflect my optimism and general positive outlook on life, with uplifting melodies and chords. The next phase includes an array of iconic vocals that are a nod to my teenage years. Now then, I couldn’t have a mix on my own series without my own music now could I? The final phase sees a significant increase in tempo climaxing with a beautifully inconclusive final crescendo. I hope you get as much enjoyment out of listening to it as I had making it.’
