Facility 4: Approach

The Approach

Pamela Records is new sister label to Moton Records Inc - the London imprint headed up by Dave Jarvis & Darren House, who have carved a name for themselves in quality and very collectable edits over the last two decades. Together they launch Pamela which will house original music only, its name taken from a mass religious cult killing back in the ‘70s. It’s dark.
The first release kicks off with lord of darkness himself Andrew Weatherall. Written, produced and developed in a studio laboratory inside of the Woodleigh Research Facility.
When I asked Andrew about these tracks, he told me “The great thing about not being signed to a major a label is that it’s liberating. No deadlines, no restraints, no pressures. The result is that the creative process is completely free. There’s a blank canvas in the studio, you can pretty much go anywhere you want.”
Down an alleyway in South London Andrew Weatherall was constantly creating and filing under various categories so that he could meet the needs of the copious amounts of people he made ‘rash promises’ to deliver music to. His Moton file had gathered some weight and from this stash we arrive at his release for Pamela Records.
The tracks were written by Andrew Weatherall with studio pal Nina Walsh sharing the writing credits in part. Nina has also contributed samples from her extensive arsenal of sample weapons.

Andrew Weatherall had such a major impact on the culture of our generation, it’s impossible to think of anyone else in our lifetime who is capable of the same effect. 

 “Fail we may… Sail we must”
RIP ANDREW WEATHERALL 1963 - 2020

PREMIERE: Andrew Weatherall - The Moton 5 [Pamela Records]

It's been over a month since AW's momentous passing and although the initial total shock may have subsided somewhat, the rift is as present as ever. We're deeply appreciative to be able to share with you one of his last works with you, 'March Violets', written with studio pal Nina Walsh features ghostly synths anchored by an Italo-esque groove.

Written, produced and developed in a studio laboratory inside of the Woodleigh Research Facility. When asked Andrew about these tracks, he said “The great thing about not being signed to a major a label is that it’s liberating. No deadlines, no restraints, no pressures. The result - the creative process is completely free. There’s a blank canvas in the studio, you can pretty much go anywhere you want”.

Neon - Le Macho Du Mambo (ROTCIV Re - Edit)

Jelly Bean Farm is excited to share ‘Autonomy’ by RNBWS, Maxim Nikolaev. RNBWS is the co-founder of ‘Pkge’ a genre-bending label out of Russia. He can also be found regularly playing live techno sets at the infamous club ‘Propaganda’ in Moscow. UK bass lovers know of his previous releases on Sounds of Sumo and Circular Jaw, though this release marks a distinct stylistic divergence for RNBWS.

‘Autonomy’ delivers five hybrid club-friendly tracks that effortlessly suit a variety of moods and atmospheres. The driving and rich nature of this EP is the result of Maxim’s deepening frustration with political stagnation in Russia that consequently became the inspiration. He hyperfocused on production and reached deeper into his personal musical influences. The result is RNBWS synthesis of early rave & techno, infused with traces of electro-industrial, metal, and horror film scores. This all comes together harmoniously in the ‘Autonomy’ EP. It is
strikingly playful and vibrant, at times sensual and cool with an undercurrent of agitation.

PRÈMIÉRE: Rnbws - Stability Element [Jelly Bean Farm]

There's no story to tell here... Usually we write a poem, a piece of prose or a passage per premiere. However, in this case the story has already been told. A humble gentleman who produced music across decades and lit a spark in the underbelly of British dance and electronic music culture. This EP wasn't supposed to be so poignant. Andrew Weatherall was a friend to many and this much was clear by the widespread outpouring of love which was shown in the aftermath of his passing. 

This record was recorded in a studio down an alleyway in South London as the label describe the coming together behind the EP. 

"When I asked Andrew about these tracks, he told me 'the great thing about not being signed to a major a label is that it’s liberating. No deadlines, no restraints, no pressures. The result - the creative process is completely free. There’s a blank canvas in the studio, you can pretty much go anywhere you want.'
