As the co founder of More Rice records he has been pivotal in releasing music from locals and broadening the reach of music from Thailand. He works tirelessly and also produces his own music alongside involvement in Bar Temp and Bangkok Community Radio.

He keeps busy.

Weaving between different variations of house music, this one is perfect for the hot, sticky summer and is packed with feel good moments and deep groves galore.

The Quadrasphere 017 - Truly Madly & Andy Green

We are very happy to bring you a new QUADRASPHERE mix, and this one is an instant classic! MINDHELMET label boss Truly Madly and VERDANT RECORDINGS head of operations Andy Green. 

2 of the finest selectors getting together on the turntables for a mix of some of the best vinyl we've heard in a long time, crafted to perfection! No tracklist on this one, some of these records are very rare! 

We present:
Truly Madly & Andy Green

A few words from Andy:
"We don't get the benefits of a regular rub down as we used to, but when it happens, it remains a bit of a treat. The chaos of the early discogs forums introduced us over 20 years ago but also because we shared a love of proper deep music and the high life. We've done some Estimulo Shows, SUNK parties (with Chris) and many lost all nighters together before trajectories diverged. This one was a recent Saturday night, just winging it whilst quaffing notable Italian Reds. Its mildly amusing to me (Andy) that this recording leans into Dub Techno, a genre for which Truly has peculiar aversion to… and yet we are left feeling for dubby chords, swirling delays, some elegiac melodies and our passion for the proper tunage......one more rider?"

Music from Ron, Sasha Dive, Schatrax, Anton Zap, P. Laoss, DEC, Deadbeat, Mindhelmet, Claro Intelecto, Jorge Zamacona, Scott Grooves, Shinichi Atobe & Norm Talley amongst others

The Quadrasphere 017 - Truly Madly & Andy Green

The multi faceted functionality of the human spirit was a remarkable feat. The machines watched with fascination as they looked out upon the condition of those living amongst the sand. In the midst of the desert lay their spectacularly mirrored space ship, an entity in its own right and a strange spectacle to behold amidst the Middle Eastern backdrop. They pondered relentlessly the nature of such interaction between body and mind, yet they could not comprehend or decipher the orchestration of actions and which was a result of the other. 

Lockyear has received far reaching support around this release. The latest edition to the OTB catalogue sees him deliver three inspired cuts which sit somewhere between techno and progressive house. This one is good.

Wave Knowledge

PREMIERE: Lockyear - Bodymind [OTB]

The green grass blew softly in the wind and the woods loomed eerily in the distance. The sun set down by the wall as the last of the summer daylight crashed ominously from above. In the depth of the night this place would become a temple, a prism of chaos and the beginning of the end. A warehouse could be heard closing up for the night in the distance. The clatter of shutters rattled in the air as the lights flickered in the street outside. This was to be the location they had dreamt of. Here in the garden they were safe. 

roadman kicks off the new year with a release on Tact Recordings. He delivers two moody house cuts with rough edged groove and allure.

The Wall EP

PREMIERE: roadman - The Wall [Tact]

Sleep was but a dream for now. She lay upon the sheets wondering when her eyelids might fall hazily shut. It had been weeks since she had last been able to drift off in peace, her mind continued to race and play melodic tricks upon her every blink. The scenario had become repetitive and boring yet still it continued to plague her ever evening. She had always pondered the nature of life as an insomniac but had never imagined she might find herself in such a position. Whilst the world lay still, she was wide awake . 

Dirt Crew Recordings are set to release a new EP from Icelandic up and comer Felix Leifur. Based in Reykjavik he is an artist who continues to place emphasis upon the value in community and locality, there are a steady stream of musicians emerging from the area.

PREMIERE: Felix Leifur - Eyelids [Dirt Crew]

The stakes had been raised so damn high that his legs had begun to shake. As he watched the wheel spin he continued to count the rotations of the spin, praying and wishing that the star might land where his marker was at. The room had gone eerily quiet, or at least it seemed that way to him. He held tightly onto the green felt of the table beneath his fingertips trying not to blink. Soon the marker would drop and his night would end in one of two ways. 

Gary Gritness returns with a second edition of "The Sugar Cane Chronicles" for Hyperdub. He brings with him four heavy hitting funk cuts in his own peculiar fashion.

The Sugar Cane Chronicles Vol 2

PREMIERE: Gary Gritness - Countin' Up With Starr [Hypercolour]

The temperature was ferociously hot in the dark basement. Outside the sun was at its highest peak and the concrete was smouldering under the blistering rays. Underground, it was much the same bar the lack of light. This was by choice and not an accident. Nobody liked to dance in the eye of others judgement, hence the shadows were best for such fun. As the room begin to fill it was remarkable to watch the people shed their clothes, layer by layer they became more free. The sweat dripped from above. 

Daniel T steps up with two tracks for the fun loving Cosmic Pint Glass label. He is accompanied by Lauer and Jack Pattern who offer a set of spectacular alternatives to his own arrangements

CPG007

PREMIERE: Daniel T - Celsius (Lauer Remix) [Cosmic Pint Glass]

The raging waters rushed furiously down the side of the mountain and over the edge off the cliff face. The waterfall was a typhoon of chaos and misery as he watched the wooden panels of the boat being swept away beneath him. The rapids were fierce and violent, wicked and wretched. There was little hope that he might survive but as he clung firmly onto the plank beneath his body he began to sing a song that he recalled from years ago. From the distant beach it had come to him upon the breeze, he repeated it now. 

Minimal Violence are to release a three track EP on Jungle Gym this month. Following a previous release on 1080p they now delve deep into the depths of house and techno with a rugged edge.

PREMIERE: Minimal Violence - Rapids [Jungle Gym]
