Night Sweats Music presents:

“Samba Brabo”

The fourth instalment in Hazards of Prophecy’s series rooted in the sounds of Brazil and global club culture.

In Brazilian slang, “Samba Brabo” literally means “fierce samba” or “badass samba” – and that’s exactly the vibe: hard-hitting drums and percussion infused with jazz keys, rich chords, and punchy horns. Job done.

On the flip, a “Sem Samba” (“without samba”) edit of Samba Brabo – laid-back and more minimal.

Echoes from the Void

Another visitor makes his way down the iron staircase to the 2Sox basement HQ, this time in the form of one of Glasgow's most trusted selectors, Laurence Hughes.

He and fellow house (and techno, and electro) expert Tom Churchill have been busy recently making very fine tunes together as The Nuclear Family - https://soundcloud.com/the_nuclear_family. Their self released 12"s are two of 2Sox' absolute favourite belter records of the last year. Be sure to check them out. Laurence's production credits go back as far as 2002, under the Elijah moniker on Jason Brunton's Iridite label. Tom founded the Headspace and Emoticon labels, which produced many a stellar release by himself and the likes of Dan Curtin, Future Beat Alliance and Marco Bernardi.

Laurence has been a resident at many a club night in Glasgow over the years, including the legendary Traxx night alongside our previous DTS guest Jamie Thomson. He takes massive pleasure in discovering, playing and discussing electronic music new and old. You'll normally have a screed of mental notes after hearing a set, and this mix will be no exception. It's also worth noting that he will teach you a thing or two about, and whip your arse at, table tennis.

SpillCast 01 - Kellon [Offhand]

A follow-up to December's selection of mid-90s Detroit-influenced UK techno, this time featuring some US producers in the form of Carl Craig, Kenny Larkin and Abacus alongside the likes of As One, Stasis and Black Dog. Deep and timeless music for heads and feet.

Stasis - So-lar (Time Is Right, 1993)
Psyche - Elements (Planet E, 1989)
Abacus - Relics (Prescription, 1994)

Golden Era Techno Part 2

Another selection of mainly UK techno from the early to mid-90s. On this one there's a slightly more uptempo/dancefloor feel (in the middle section at least), with some deep grooves from the Pure Plastic/Plaid family, LFO's Mark Bell in his Clark guise, a soulful techno masterpiece from Inertia (aka A Guy Called Gerald), and a raw heater from Neuropolitique on Irdial. Recorded from vinyl once again with authentic grit.

Golden Era Techno Part 3

Tom Churchill provides the 3rd guest mix.

Tom emerged in 1996 via his own label, Headspace Recordings, which went on to feature several of his productions as well as releases from Dan Curtin, Derek Carr & Sean Deason, among others. Together with sister label, Emoticon, Headspace established itself as an eminent UK label, and their releases are still sought after to this day.

Both labels ceased trading in 2006, and after a break from music production, Tom finally returned and has recently been releasing as part of a duo - The Nuclear Family.

Check the links below for new music, and be sure to listen to his recent stand-out trio of 'Golden Era Techno' mixes.

Instore w/ Luuk

Artist: Various Artists (Cignol, Armec...)
Title: Volume 2
Label: We're Going Deep
Cat No: WGD002
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 
A1. Cignol - Night Time Traverse
A2. Armec - Celestial Mechanics
B1. Jared Wilson - Leave Your World Behind (GOM Mix)
B2. Gilbert - Signs of Hope

‘We’re Going Deep’ is a new label run by an old head- Paul Wise, better known as Placid to many who inhabit the realms of underground House and Techno.

Born out of a lifelong affair with the many shades of deep electronic rhythms coupled with a thirst for collecting records since 1988, the label mission is all about releasing new music for the dance floor, front room or even just your headphones.

Rather than staying too hung up on the past, Paul’s reputation for digging deep into Acid, Electro, Techno, Deep House and even the odd slice of downtempo precedes him, as he readies the second instalment on his imprint. Picking up where WGD 001 left off, he’s both humbled and pleased to be able to invite 4 more exceptional artists to show off their finest waveforms.

Volume 2 starts the dance with a sterling contribution from Dublin’s very own machine maestro Cignol, “Night Time Traverse”. Proving once again why his flair for combining tight metronomic drums, wistful melody, blissed out strings with a twist of 303 is second to none: unmistakably tight, unmistakably good. Followed by some heavy head nodding action courtesy of new kid on the block, Armec, he’s already scored 2 fantastic releases under his belt. Fully repping the next generation of mancunian machine enthusiasts, he delves deep into the seedy underworld of deepest and darkest electro with ice cold aplomb on “Celestial Mechanics”.

Hit the flipside and you’ll find Acid aficionado Jared Wilson (who should be no stranger to most) leading the charge as he whips up a storm with a tweaked 303 takeover, led by a mesmerising chord that runs throughout – he works his magic once again in fine style. Last but not least, the dulcet tones of Bristol’s very own best kept secret Gilbert lands another sumptuously deep slab of techno with “Signs of Hope”. Leading with a pleasantly addictive bassline, this beautifully structured whistful symphony oozes warmth and tranquillity as he takes a trip to the light fantastic.
