The long running stirrings of Surgeon (Anthony Child) and Regis (Karl O’Connor) under the conjunct British Murder Boys are not for the faint of heart. Their alleged final act came before a Tokyo crowd in 2012, but the goodbye only lasted three years and with their Amsterdam return, a reformulation of their signature industrial sound. The duo, both at their acme with little signs of descent, have together found a hybrid techno that scales high and large, bringing together thumping bass and hissing feedback for a distinctly belligerent and primal club sound. It’s not all obvious, their 2020 cover of Lou Reed’s Real Good Time Together offered a machine-inflected spin on the original, and opened the door for their debut LP Active Agents And House Boys (2024). At the heart is a provocative, sexually-charged and punkish techno that offloads bristling rhythms and defiant energy, one that’s a little more controlled and mathematical in practice. Following on from their show at Bassiani back in November comes this next mix. Bassiani Podcast 250 is an hour-long and live recorded assault: thrashing beats, crazed and bleepy arps, EBM-style shouts, a decadent and rageful call to arms and one of the most important instalments in this long running series. Back-breaking industrial techno from these two heavyweights and originators of the Birmingham sound.

Bassiani invites British Murder Boys [live] / Podcast #250

A very special partnership indeed occured between NYC‘s Adultnapper and London‘s legendary Mr.C. Entwined in a musical romance that spans the great continents, Sycophant Slags is the outcome of this very special twinning of minds, and ‚Keep Off‘ their latest gift to the world! The release comes complete with 2 huge remixes from Reboot and The Wighnomy Brothers. Prepare for a monster 12‘‘.

In its original version ‚Keep Off‘ is a tricky, trippy slice of modern underground house. Tight, clean and superbly produced, the track becomes a vessel for the catchy vocals of Mr.C, who‘s unique flow and ‚Sky‘s The Limit‘ refrain lift the track into a stand out cut operating on its own higher level. Clearly a serious bomb from these two, we‘re sure this will be the anthem of many a long night - Sycophant Slags are here and there‘s no point in trying to hide!

German hero of our times Reboot re-interprets the track into a brooding, crunchy builder. Trademark Reboot percussion and intricate, loose and inspired phrasing steps this track up into a different groove with its freaky-funky swirling undertones. Its a heavy cut to say the least, and we‘re sure this latest slice of Reboot magic will keep you converted.

Also a couple of long-serving and legendary figures, the Wighnomy Brothers shake up the original into a dark, heavy and brooding minimal funk monster. Full of clever edits, cuts and fx, its a true ode to the brothers talents in the studio. Their ‚Detroittobrieflysort-ulle Remix‘ is really its own beast - making great use of Mr C‘s vocals yet adding their own narrative of freaked out horn sounds, pianos and pumping club ready beats.

TU PREMIERE | Steve Rachmad x Heiko Laux - Butalimbo (Kanzleramt)

Sexyrecs returns with its third release, ‘SR003 - Second Base’. A bold new chapter in the label’s exploration of sensual and forward thinking club music. 

This four-track VA brings together Lacchesi, HUJUS, SOTO and Comrade Winston for a deepdive into grooves that perfectly blur the lines between pleasure and pressure. 

Kicking off on the A-side, ‘Us and Them’ by Lacchesi, sets the tone with an organic and sexy rhythm, weaving erotic vocals with tension and release into a fast-burning dancefloor experience. Followed by HUJUS ‘Taboo’; lives up to its name. A playful, tribalictic track with a bubbly techno atmosphere and a cheeky vocal that keeps things curious and charged.

Flipping the record to the B-side, ‘Kingdom of Flow’ by SOTO also flips the vibes to a rather dark, pounding and underground approach; yet drawing on minimal and hypnotic influences to lock the dancefloor and your mind in. Last but not least, Comrade Winston’s ‘Interception’ closes things out with abstract break-driven energy. A refreshing take on drops and tempo play that suggest being intercepted mid-movement. 

A seductive blend of pulse, tension and release. Sexyrecs challenges you again to feel your best sexy self, on and off the dancefloor.
