From Sumikawa 2 Space EP

Incoming…POTG 03The 3rd release from tINI’s Part Of The Gang Records is here.This new three-tracker comes courtesy of Barcelona-based Uruguayan producer Jorge Gamarra.Jorge’s takes influences from Detroit and Chicago, as well as the UK and of course, Montevideo’s electro scene.Across three cuts we get a selection of future facing productions, composed with a vintage sonic aesthetic imbued with Gamarra’s heady mix of influences.The track ‘ADE’ is opening the EP with a delightful adventure into the cosmos.Groaning bass is combined with a menagerie of twinkling sounds, chirps and effects straight from another galaxy.Next up is ‘MK Ultra’, named after the infamous CIA mind control experiments (“Involves several drugs and electrodes plugged into the brain”).This one utilises layers of retro instrumentation to take hold of your subconscious and get that body moving uncontrollably...Finally, ‘DTR’ is 10 minutes of Gamarra demonstrating his production prowess, bringing together groovy bass, sci-fi effects and a catchy earworm, whistling melody…

AOP007 sees the return of Ukraine’s Artist Volodymyr Gnatenko. On two of the tracks he collaborates with his friend Kai Noob , leaning on the more experimental side of things. The other two tracks, which are Volodymyr solo work, are for the floor. Also returning to AOP is Warpque delivering another stunning cover for us.

re:discovery records is proud to release for the first time, a vinyl edition of 'Two Zeroes' by Grain for it's 25th anniversary.Grain was a west coast project that emerged out of the psychedelic music and art scenes in Los Angeles in the early 1990s. After a few of their tracks were featured on the key chill out compilations United State of Ambience 1&2 and Excursions in Ambienceand many local live performances, they released two ep's on local labels. Shortly after in 1998, 'Two Zeroes' the full length project appeared. A west coast chill out classic that unfortunately did not get much disribution outside the west coast let alone to the world.To classify this album is very hard. Think early Jammin Unit with a touch of the Orb and dash of west coast breakbeat and chill out styles and you still can't fully pin it down. A unique album that sonically, was leaps and bounds ahead of most albums in this style thanks to sound designer, audio instalation architect, scientist and artist Jimmy Johnson along with illustrator and fellow sonic artist Peter Ehrlich. Featured on double vinyl with updated artwork by the original designer, Kevin Hanley and presented on beautiful gatefold with a shimmering silver vinyl to match. This could be one of the discoveries of the year for those that have never heard this album. Dare to Dream with us.

90’s Chicago and Djax-Up-Beats legend Ellery Cowles makes his mark on UK label Revoke. Four tracks all previously unreleased from the 90’s.
