Hieroglyphic Being – Azimuthal Equidistant [MATH096]
On ‘Azimuthal Equidistanta’ Jamal Moss aka Hieroglyphic Being & The Configurative Or Modular Me Trio serve up 3 tracks on limited colored vinyl. The title track is a jackin’ phaser workout, while ‘Discotic Compuserve’ is minimal bleep at it’s best and ‘How Far Back..’ is a contemplative lowbit riddim!
Jordan Fields – Straight From The Tapes [CBTRAX004]
Chicago Basement Trax flexes its muscles and enlisted the services of one Chicago’s Crown jewels of the Underground in the form of one Mr. Jordan Fields. Nothing but Pure authentic 1980s + a bonus disco dub. No doubt this is the pure uncut raw from the man with the plan himself so let’s see who wants to see the Provenance now.

Tristan Grace – The Furse EP [IWBN001]
I Walked by Night presents its debut release from the UK based artist Tristan Grace. Inspiration from the motor city and acid sound lies at the heart of what he does. Influenced by rolling green hills, and surrounded by the analog soul of his machines – he has an addiction to vintage machines of Asian origin, valves, and it’s fair to say, he lives his life in 16 step sequence. The Furse E.P moves across the width of his sound, and this being his debut release on I Walked by Night.
JC Williams – Passing Ships EP [CHIWAX021]
Andreas Gehm – Situations [DIZZY012]

Fingers Inc. / Robert Owens – I’m Strong [ML2204LE]
A one of a kind track with a totally unique groove and a bass line not coming from this world.

Hieroglyphic Being – The Disco’s Of Imhotep [TCLR015]
Seriously strong Jamal Moss LP under his Hieroglyphic Being moniker. “The Disco’s Of Imhotep is about creating Frequencies and Vibrations for the Listener that are conducive for him or her to Heal The Mind and Body and Enrich the Soul by creating Hemi-Synced Harmonies and music that contains embedded Binaural Beats. We have been made to believe that electronic sounds are just for Movement, Enlightenment, Primal Afflictions and Entertainment purposes, but it’s much more… It’s Sound Healing, but the ancestors would call it Frequency Medicine. Medicine is Healing and this project is dedicated to one of Earth’s first Healers: High Priest Imhotep. The One who comes in Peace, is with Peace.”
Jamal Moss – The Digital Afterlife EP [RHD030JAMAL]
“The Digital Afterlife” is a live workout recorded in Amsterdam, early 2016. The second track is a tribute to the beautiful Northen French town of Arras. “Akashic Energie” prime Gherkins straight out the Hieroglyphic pickle jar.
John Heckle – Tributes To A Sun God [BDN010]
John Heckle is remarkably prolific, but still manages to maintain an impressively high quality threshold. On Tributes To A Sun God, he’s in a remarkably melodious mood. While opener “Alexandria” comes blessed with his usual tough analogue beats – not to mention the hissing cymbals of Detroit techno – its’ most endearing features are the drowsy pads and undulating melody lines. A similar approach can be found on the more acid-centric “Mesopatamia”, which pops and spits with dancefloor intent. A fine package is completed by handclap-heavy drum workout “Track 4”, and the Ambient House era electronics and sparse drum hits of “Track 2”.
