The Marshlands EP is the first release from Crooked Finger (SZE Records, Secretsundaze Studios) on Natural Frequency Records.

The tracks are connected to and inspired by the artist’s trips to the North Essex coastline, the landscape and the marshlands of that area… “The marshes have this isolated and lonely beauty, they're kind of inaccessible but alluring and totally unlike the seaside beaches where the majority of people flock. All of this finds its way into these pieces of music.” 

“Goose” is a real burner, taking its time to build the intensity with dub chords, rapid snares and tape FX recorded via an old WEM Copicat, then the 303 brings us home. Inspired by long walks contemplating that feeling of pure power in nature.

Next up is “APR”, full of rust and dust, sounding like it was pulled from deep in the mud having washed up to shore years ago. 

“EightyEight” takes to the floor with a big ol bass line driving the track and drums that feel right at home clattering around a ‘95 warehouse at 5am. 

The closer of the EP, “Orange Wine”, is a moody house number with an arpeggiator ear-worm backed up by more big bass and that vocal sample that keeps going. This one connects the dots between the comforting isolation of the dance and the marsh. 

The ‘Marshlands EP‘ will be released on 16th March 2023 via Bandcamp & streaming.

Wait, what? A new Quince? Call the newspapers! It has been YEARS since the Dutch techno producer from Utrecht found the peace of mind to actually release something. In fact, the Anthology of Interest EP on the illustrious NOWHERE series is his first proper record in eight years. His daytime job as a medic kept him rather occupied. You might remember those times when there was a pandemic around?

We missed Quince, even though his sound is rather timeless. Fluid Detroit infused techno with pulsating rhythms, alluring keyboard stabs and sultry basslines, like on Ghost In The Machine and the extremely funky The Butterjunk Effect.

Opening track Meanwhile has that hazy peak time feel you love so much while dancing with your eyes closed. But the winner of this very versatile EP may just be Space Pilot 3000. A futuristic and jumpy electro-track where the worlds of Drexciya and Juan Atkins collide in a blinding orange supernova. Can someone call a doctor!

Quince - The Butterjunk Effect

For the first Klasse Wrecks release of 2024, the label looks back to 2020 and a previously digital only track from label co-owner Mr. Ho. During the first lockdown of covid Mr. Ho released '000Baby' as part of the digital 'Homeboys' EP alongside Luca Lozano. An alternative version popped up on the 'Michaelsoft' album in 2021 but the much lauded original has never seen the light of day on wax....until now. The first 10inch on Klasse Wrecks also features a suped and sped up interpretation from Om Unit, who expertly increases the pressure with deft 808 bass subs, a half time swagger and dubbed out atmospherics.

D. Faux - Cosmic Pachanga

As the Great Conjunction of Thra’s Three Suns draws ever closer, schuttle casts his sonic offerings out into this dying World in an attempt to restore balance and offer us all a chance to ascend to a
higher level of existence.
The record begins by conjuring up the 'Ritual Master'. Stuttering vocals dance over ceremonial strings; the great Unifying kick drum clears the undergrowth for a bassline so life affirming that it
could raise UrSu himself.
