SMALL BUT HARD RECORDINGS is honored to present the latest output from SKIZ FERNANDO, aka “SPECTRE THA ILL SAINT”. Ranking as an O.G. in the world of abstract beats, SPECTRE was forged as an antidote to the commercial bullshit...a ghost rising from a rotting corpse, holding up a mirror to our diseased and disaffected society. 

Through imprint WORDSOUND, Fernando worked tirelessly to document some of the greats of the underground 

scene. Simultaneously he has become a master in his own right, releasing 10 full-length albums, constantly upping the ante on experimentation and innovation. 

For his 20th anniversary in the game, he joins forces with Berlin's SMALL BUT HARD crew. THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST, dispays Fernando's prowess and unique approach in a record that is forward-facing, yet utterly timeless in style. 

Spectre’s intrepid output doesn’t neatly fit into any category or scene, remaining a mighty force unseen, but heard throughout the cosmos.

Step into the enigmatic world of the feline fantasy with Felix E's latest release, 'Meine Katze' - the artist's debut on Inner Shah. The original composition by the Grey Bar Hotel cofounder, features Solveig Eger. On the track, the two German siblings combine punchy drums and analog synths with catchy vocals that whisk listeners away to a world where cats reign.

On a remarkable come back, the enigmatic Mister Sweatband unlocks the time capsule with an unconventional synth-pop remix. His unique interpretation blends 80s-nostalgia with a contemporary sensibility, adding a mysterious twist to the EP.

Early supporters (A-Z): Alberto Blanco, ANII, Boss Axis, Darin Epsilon, Dario Dea, Guy Laliberté, Hools, I Promised Mom, Juli Lee, KARAAL, Keef Luv, Michael Ritter, Mira, Nick Hanzo, Niki Sadeki, No Hopes, Noraj Cue, Ruben Mandolini, Simon Shackleton, Timmy Byrne, Tronik Youth, Xinobi, ZIGER and many others. Also "downloaded for Richie Hawtin", but what isn't?

Felix E, Solveig Eger - Meine Katze (Original Mix)

Seeing that I just completed the Slimkid3 & Nu-Mark collaboration, I thought it was appropriate to assemble a mix that highlights both Jurassic 5 and Pharcyde at their best. I dug deep in the vaults and uncovered some never before heard multi tracks, unreleased songs and acapellas from old tapes that needed to see the light of day. This is how I’d like to see all 8 MCs from both groups trade the mic. Enjoy!
