On our seventh release, Man/ipulate encapsulates Watatsumi’s spirit, the legendary water dragon. Known as the ruler of the seas and god of the oceans, he would control storms and rainfalls, protect its waters and transform into animals and human forms making him one of the most influential creatures in Japanese mythology.

Our sensei Man/ipulate starts with ‘Dimension’ a perfect gem filled with swinging percussions and groovy rhythms, followed by ‘1st Date’, which is definitely to look forward to. On the flip-side comes ‘Watatsumi’, an absolute charm as if it were controlling the sea’s movement from calm to storm. To end things in beauty, ‘Make It Sweat’ literally speaks for itself, a powerful punchy track delivering the dragon’s message from his underwater palace.

B2. Thursday

Lee Humphreys and Evasive head honcho Rob Pearson returned to the imprint for their 2nd EP together as Lovable Rogues. This followed on from their first collaboration which launched Evasive Records : Look Into Your Eyes / Chica / Twilight Manouvres (EVA001) 

For this Ep Rob travelled out to work with Lee in the depths of the German countryside at Lee’s Tofu Studios. EVA003 delivered 3 more tasty underground cuts for main floors and urban warehouse spaces and pleased all the right DJ movers and shakers in the year 2000. It now finds favour in 2024 with Tech House connoisseurs hungry for that early South London Tech sound.

Time Zones delivers some peak time twisted year 2k Tech. Swirling ear candy synths and tripped out almost acidic twangs are the order of the day. A head nodding bass combines with the filtered and sample triggered vocal phrase  ‘Eternal Energy Music’. As if the production pair were indeed clairvoyants able to look ahead and prophesize the future state of underground dance floors some 20 years later! This cut has since become a classic requested early noughties gem for those in the know.

On ‘Integer’ Lee Humphreys rides solo to showcase his unique talent and slick production sound. Driving filtered percussion elements and an infectious bass combine with ‘Body Grooving’ vocal cuts and eerie reverse synths and sounds. Lee basically hit this track out of the park here so Rob had no choice but to request this cut and it was snapped up for the EP.

‘Thursday’ see’s Rob & Lee back on the joint production for some Tech Funk shenanigans that are ‘sure to get you high’. Not sure what Mr Humphreys was on to allow Rob to play the lead keyboard solo on this funk fuelled excursion but it stills sounds fresh over 2 decades later.! A very different vibe that has not been equalled or surpassed on Evasive since.

This summer an enormous release lands on the prolific Partisan label as tINI delivers her second solo EP this year a powerful and hypnotic trip from a pioneering artist who pours her passion into her music. tINI showcases a multitude of vibes, as she showcases an array of sounds which have inspired her musically whilst combining that with exactly the sound she plays; slick and stripped back productions with a commanding attitude.

Rumbling mechanical movements lead the way in the A1 “Tryagain”, nostalgic vocoder samples flashing in and out amongst the madness. “Consciousness” maintains the rave energy of its predecessor, bringing further tripped out peak time action to the EP, laced with tinges of acid. Built upon a killer elastic groove is the B side opener “Namastedit”, a vocal nodding towards 90s garage breathes life into the spaced out forward motion of the track. Dreamy pads sitting blissfully behind all of the action. With a certain spring in its step is the last of the EP, “Hello Hello”, driven by a sub heavy bass, utilising unforgettable keys giving off an infectious energy, in combination with the raw and rugged vibe of the track. 

This tINI release is highly  anticipated, and she proves why within this dynamic body of work; four amazing tracks that rock the floor! This is the “Derailed” EP. 

Tracks:
A1. Tryagain
A2. Consciousness
B1. Namastedit
B2. Hello Hello
