LXC - We Have To Hold Apart (LP showreel, RUNLXC06, digi)

A collaboration between friends and life long enthusiasts of breakbeat and rave music in all its various forms, Brent Aquasky (Amen Brother/Vinyl Fanatiks) and Damo B (Emotec/Outta Limits) are the players behind AmenTec. 

An imprint dedicated to the cross pollination of artists who record on their respective labels. Their mission: coming together to fill the spaces between the Electro, Techno and good old fashioned UK Hardcore. 

Encompassing the sounds and all important ethos of the golden era of rave, AmenTec has been making its mark over the last few years. Welcoming upstarts MOY, Bufo Bufo, Diplomat & Beagle, Fugitive, Silver Fox and Sound Synthesis to don their battle gear and reach for the lasers on this collector focused “special edition” battle series. 

With the label approching its 7th release, the time is right to present a 13 track compilation of select works to celebrate their mission. “Off Ya Box – Part One” brings together label highlights and a whole bunch of exclusive cuts. 

From the spatial Acid tones of Sound Synthesis to the juddering Tech-Step of Bobo, there’s no messing when it comes to the robotic Funk of Dawl, the jilted waves of Zobol, the EZ roll of Lloyd Stellar, or knockout sounds of Flatliner for that matter. 

In 2024, this is RAVE as pure as it comes –  NOW HEAR DIS

RIZ LA TEEF - 28 April 2024

The label was established in 2018 as a means to release the back catalogue of renowned Jungle Techno label Underdog Recordings, which ran from 1993-1995. It quickly expanded from beyond the original goal and now reissues sought after, rare and classic records from the Jungle, Rave, Bleep House, Techno and Jungle Techno genres.

The Vinyl Fanatiks aim is to track down and work with the original artists from the early 1990’s, to reissue their music on vinyl only, and to support the record hunters and vinyl diggers from around the world with quality pressings and superb mastering; a way to show respect and share the story of those that created these incredible records.

The vision is not to focus on the obvious artists of that time but to dig a little deeper and find those that came and went but their legacy still holds true to this day. Some of these producers only released one record and vanished soon after but their music still resonates into the 21st century, accumulating new audiences across the globe, far beyond the catchment of the UK pirate radios and muddy fields of 25 years ago. What happened to these artists? Its Vinyl Fanatik’s mission to find out!

Each record captures a moment in time, a vibe that was true and innocent from a period when music was far more synonymous with rebellion and anarchy than today’s finely polished productions and conformist club pop. This music itself bred on the outskirts of society, fuelled by the passion of the rave, its lineage stemming from the Acid House era of 1988. Often produced on minimal equipment, with minimal skills and knowledge, its audio blueprint transcends to new generations, a rawness that no expensive audio plug in could ever create in this present day.

Vinyl Fanatiks wants to pay homage to these young producers who forged the foundations of the multi-million pound EDM scene we have now. Each of these artists has their own tale to tell, their own memories to share. Limited by their own geographical status within the UK, they somehow still all managed to connect and influence each other, years before the internet, mobile phones and social media that we have today. But the music knew no limits and had no boundaries, transcending generations to this day.
