ECHOES

Equiknoxx are one of the hottest, most innovative dancehall squads from Jamaica right now; Bird Sound Power is their debut collective show of strength, packing 12 avant, crooked riddims by core members Gavsborg and Time Cow, plus Bobby Blackbird and Kofi Knoxx, with vocals by Kemikal, Shanique Marie and J.O.E. (R.I.P).
The set was parsed and pieced together by Jon K & Demdike Stare , and now thanks to link ups via Swing Ting’s Balraj Samrai (a longtime livicated supporter), it is issued on Demdike’s DDS imprint, replete with Jon K’s sleeve design.
Easily identified by the squawking bird idents peppering their cuts, Equiknoxx productions have been big in the dance since Gavin Blair a.k.a. Gavsborg produced Busy Signal’s billboard hit Step Out in 2005, followed by key instrumentals for Beenie Man, Aidonia, Masicka, and T.O.K. - with many released on 7” thru their Equiknoxx Musiq label, and some of which, such as Aidonia’s Negative, are included in this set.
Bird Sound Power arguably marks up the most striking riddim album you’ll hear from JA in 2016, weighted with the potential to open up perceptions of current dancehall thanks to the mad character and broad reference points of its producers, encompassing King Jammy’s foundational digi-dub and Dave Kelly’s Mad House sound as much as rugged New York hip hop and the wigged-out, feminine pressure of Virginia Beach’s Timbaland or The Neptunes.
The oldest tune inside dates to 2009, but the rest are relatively recent dancehall mutations, including a number of exclusives produced in the last 12 months. Each one reps for Equiknoxx’s unique aspects, such as Jordan Chung a.k.a. Time Cow’s brilliantly bizarre, layered arrangements of film samples, sawn-off hooks and digi-tight beats, whilst also a result of as their distinguished family vibe,
Bird Sound Power exists in a paradox, contemporary but classic, and with as much potential to turn new heads onto current JA sounds as Mowax’s Now Thing set back in 2001, which remains a key touchstone for all fwd looking producers..

We are so grateful to have a track from AMEN The Producer @amen-producer in our catalogue!!! So many of his tunes made their ways in our DJ sets for the last 3-4 years. The producer, artist and DJ from the Bronx NY handles a wide range of styles from trap and hip-hop, house, Jersey inspired club to his own booming strand of footwork. He is also a member of the terrific Papi Squad collective frequently co-creating with them.
The 'DJ Trak' is a hard Jersey Club assault stripped down to its core elements allowing one enormous bass kick to take the entire room at times. AMEN’s distinctive craft shine through the entire trak with skippy hip-hop vocal edits, extra large bass pounding kicks, echoing chants, percussive tones and constant rhythm variations.

BAKK015 | SFV Acid – ResedaVill [12inch]

Vinyl: clone.nl/item59047.html
Digital: https://bakk.bandcamp.com/album/resedavill

As winter strikes, the summery SFV Acid reappears fully-fledged with some sluggish San Fernando Valley funk and his signature acidic aesthetics. Mostly slow-burning tracks that meander the boulevards, twitchy due the right dose of acid and vocal jabs scattered across. It's always summer in the valley.

BAKK015 | SFV Acid - ResedaVill

Somewhere, out there upon the horizon was something more, something beautiful. It could be achieved, not only through hope alone but by a magical dream, something which they shared. If it were meant to be, a way out of this place, then that was all that they could hope for. The white clouds hung thick in the evening sky as the heat still burnt down from the heavens up above, this place was a barren land, a desolate destination built only for outcasts and lost souls. It was here that they wandered and weaved a path towards a better future. 

Pace Yourself is a party series and record label based out of Berlin, the next EP from the label comes in the form of something intriguing and mysterious. A 12" from YS, of whom we know little but receive a lot. A promising release purpose built for the well listened dancefloor.

ALL MONEY WILL BE DONATED TO COALITION FOR THE HOMELESS

Recorded in NYC in 2020, Fatal Fantazia is Tony Rainwater's third full length LP. Notably moodier than the previous records Psalm 63:7 and Into The Rainbow Flame, the new album contains brooding and dramatic piano samples throughout. Breakbeats and sharp transitions still abound, giving the record an atmosphere of a live DJ set.

:):):)

Goldfish and Alicia present Cames Jook, an intricate EP of clattering percussion and ominous texture. United by an ear for detail and a diversity of explorative musical influences, they present two tracks each of broken beats and tumbling tones. For Goldefish, these range from saturated bullet-breaks on ‘Glock Fist Retro Fit’ to propulsive metric modulation on ‘Tomatoes’. Meanwhile, Alicia shares urgent break-beats and doom laden punches on erratic behaviour, developed further in Bokehmon, a lurching broken techno trip, scrawled vividly with menacing ambience and machinic tickles.

It is accompanied by a limited collection of vinyl die-cut stickers from three different artists; Ben Hall, Katie Gehrke, and Ben Johnson.
