Sheik 'N' Beik Catalog

New York coterie Sheik ‘N’ Beik line up the next 12” in a string of successful releases including Legowelt & Xosar under their now defunct Xamiga guise, Jeffrey Scott and label owner Rechulski. Enlisted for their 7th record is the Japan based Mister Saturday Night and 1080P affiliate KeitaSano.
With a strong affinity to analogue sound and old school audio processing, Sano renders personal mind­maps in his work ­ eclectic and off­kilter productions shot­through with warmth and propelled by potent drums. His latest offering for Sheik ‘N’ Beik is one fans old and new will relish: a series of 4 warped excursions showcasing Sano’s refined and idiosyncratic studio techniques.
‘Bypass Motion’ kicks things off with a fizzing 909 and a loose­limbed bass pattern set churning under brisk, steely atmospheres. Dense in the low­end, ‘Child’s Play’ then follows up with a hard­nosed groove carried by horror­movie sweeps and distant computerised vocals.
Digital exclusive ‘DRTSY’ then packs in washed drums set to an arresting, pacy groove
alongside haunting vocal builds and melodic, filtered bubbles. ‘Mixing Error’ then sets a
staggered kick pattern spearing through a rich fog of tape noise that gathers with it thick pads and distant, menacing synth tones that generate a capacious sense of space and close off another fine addition to Sheik ‘N’ Beik’s blooming catalogue

Electronic music label Sheik ‘N’ Beik announces SNBV012 the ‘Vaadhoo’ EP from Mr. Dello. This EP is the second release in series aimed at celebrating the diversity and history of New York and its boroughs.   
As Sheik ‘N’ Beik’s hometown and source of constant inspiration. The label focuses the spotlight to pay homage to the Five boroughs of New York including Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island and The Bronx. Each boroughs flag is given a modern and colorful twist via the cover art and design of each outer jacket. The first release in the series, Manhattan, featured local NYC heroe and co-founder of Voodoo Down Records, N’conduit.

The new EP from Mr. Dello is an example of dedication artistic freedom. Three different and powerful slices of contemporary techno, Mr. Dello explores the deeper, darker recesses of his psyche drawing on emotions, moods and feelings to portray his vision. With his own history seeped in Greek mythology, he is no stranger to celebrating civic pride, and the ‘Vaadhoo’ EP packs plenty of punches from the Kathisma resident. ‘Maureta’ powers into life with insistent low end and spacey sonic nuances, making way for deep pads to lift the mood. ‘Aige’ features some exceptional drum programming and a repeated vocal sample to whip the crowd into a frenzy, and finally, the title track ‘Vaadhoo’ utilizes a solid bassline and clicky percussion to create an energetic conclusion. SNBV012 is available for purchase online at sheiknbeik.com and records shops on September 29, 2017. Distributed exclusively by Halcyon / Rub-A-Dub

Electronic music label Sheik ‘N’ Beik announces its new release SNBV013, an EP called Daisy Cutter by JEM. This EP is the third release in their series aimed at celebrating the diversity and history of New York and its boroughs.

As Sheik ‘N’ Beik’s hometown and source of constant inspiration, the label focuses on spotlighting and paying homage to the five boroughs of New York including Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island and The Bronx. Each borough’s flag is given a modern and colorful twist via the cover art and design of each outer jacket. The first release in the series, Manhattan, featured local NYC hero and co-founder of Voodoo Down Records N’conduit, and the second, Kathisma resident Mr. Dello’s Vaadhoo EP.

The new EP from JEM, dedicated to The Bronx, opens up with title track Daisy Cutter, which directly sets the tone of the release with a straightforward, dynamic techno, elevated by an eerie, dark atmosphere. It goes on with Neb, a downtempo second track with a lighter tone that progressively gets back to the initial mysterious mood and capriciously brightens it with warmer back-and-forth sounds. Next on the 12” is Semiotic, a third track structured by a clever balance of deconstructed rhythms and sparse acid and synth melodies in the continuity of the lighter, warmer mood previously built up. The EP ends with Temple, with a more aggressive accent animated by several lighter melodic layers and a stifled background bass.
