Here’s „FASRATⓍ Sampler”, an 8-track mini-album preceding „FASRATⓍ”, a compilation rounding up 10 years of Father And Son Record And Tapes, Polish label led by Maciek Sienkiewicz. Note: all tracks are exclusive for this sampler, and will not appear on the main compilation (but all the artists will).
Verlake, with releases for Laral Tapes, Diffuse Reality and K-Hole Trax (and on FASRAT in 2020) starts the record with a pulse-driven deep house cut, complete with dreamy voice sample. This is followed by spiritual meditation in the form of „Wdowczyk”, by BreakJanek 60 and Bebun, known for their work with both electronic (666VOLVO) and hip-hop (OSIR) projects (and two EPs on FASRAT). Trippy broken beats, catchy bass and loads of fine-tuned details are delivered by none other than Richu M, last heard under this name about 5 years ago – but super active under his Solo Gemini alias (5 albums to date, including 3 on FASRAT, with another coming late this year). Then, a newcomer on the label, renowned and positively super-hyped Gary Gwadera, forward-thinking jazz and folk drummer, praised for his combination of footwork and Polish folk rhythms appears with a bass-heavy tune, followed by Teielte – true legend of Polish beat-making, with several albums in the past 15 years, mostly on super-prolific and top quality U Know Me label (although Teielte’s release on FASRAT in 2017 at one point topped the Juno bass music chart). „Breaking Stars” packs an EP worth of ideas in under 3 minutes-long whirlwind of beats, bass, strings and kaleidoscopic synth melodies. „Pieczara” is a dramatic techno-electro hybrid by Universo, also known under his Kixnare alias, with staccato metallic beats, vintage Electro strings and menacing atmosphere, perfect for late night dancefloors. Also club-ready is a new tune by Das Komplex, top Polish disco/house/Balearic producer with releases on Internasjonal, Is It Balearic?, Step, Love On The Rocks and many more, his tunes championed by, among others, DJ Harvey. Multi-layered, open wide arrangement invites with uplifting pianos, acid bass lines, hard-working hi-hats and moderate in tempo, but quite heavy broken beat. Rounding off this release is producer and engineer @ys, known for his work with African musicians and singers, including production on the latest album by Ugandan maverick mwami. His tune is a short, dreamy, crystalline glimpse into some other world in gold and blue – a teaser for @ys first proper album, due on FASRAT in October.
FASRATⓍ is out on 5 September 2025
