D'Marc Cantu - Black Tears

O/V/R – Post-Traumatic Son [BP030]

O/V/R aka JAMES RUSKIN/REGIS - Post Traumatic Son

Regis and James Ruskin team up for a highly effective new O/V/R excursion. The title track is a lean and uncompromising pounder, layered with tension building synthlines and a relentless attitude. ‘Descending the Left Corner’ is a little trickier, set with a deadly bassline swing akin to the Kalon tracks meshed with simmering Basic Channel style synth modualtions. Finally, ‘Crippled Nurse (and Water)’ indulges their more esoteric inclinations with a screwed downbeat acid number nodding to classic A.I.-era ‘tronica.

Jackmaster Hater – Warehouse Box Tracks [WHBTR04]

JACKMASTER HATER - Tracky 1 / Tracky 2 / Drum Track image

Unleashed from the basement of some lucky Chicago fiend, these are four ruff-as-fuck jack tracks from back in’t day. All four tracks have previously appeared on mixes and tapes but never pressed onto wax before so if you crave some old skool jack vibes, look no further.

Tornado Wallace – Always Twirling [DOG013]

disc

“Always Twirling” spins into action with driving 16th note hats, compressed pads and soaring strings. 808 snare fills rattle throughout and a warm, dubby bassline provides the speaker-troubling low end. “Twirl And The Beanstalk” goes for a more heads down, bare beats and bass approach resulting in an intense, floor friendly track that grooves extra hard. Finally, we have “Whispering Twirl”, a sumptuous slice of mid-tempo deepness with a hint of boogie and a dash of soul.

Probably you already found out that we are preparing for the 1 year celebration and our special guest is Mick Wills [Nation, Minimal Rome, Gigolo Records – Stuttgart, DE]. This will be his second visit to Sibiu (after 5 years) and his first in Cluj-Napoca. Many words can be said about the man who started his djing career almost 25 years ago and has released his first EP back in 2001, on International Deejay Gigolo Records, but we leave the words to the only three Romanians with releases on Gigolo. Instead, we present an exclusive dj mix from Mick recorded live in Jena, Germany, on July 24th this year.

Enjoy and “Dance like nobody is watching”.
