Appointment – Les Appointment Royale [AP007]
The Appointment crew (Emg, Marieu, John Swing and Lucretio) add another file in their already bulging folder marked “buy in sight”. “Track 1” from the Les Appointment Royale EP features all the lo-fi brilliance the label is know for by the way of cut up vocals, Roland symbol crashes and a thrumming bass lines. “Track 2” hits up jazzy party loops whereas “Track 3” gets deep and dirty with a gritty and circular groove. Broken beats, distortion and industrial sensibilities are employed in “Track 4” which rounds out one of their most versatile EPs yet.
Appointment – Reunion [AP006]
After a 5 months hiatus the Appointment krew (Emg, Marieu, John Swing and Lucretio) is back to the game with another cluster bomb manufactured up to the latest discoveries in analogue techniques.
Vinalog – Lost Patterns [RELATIVE008]
Vinalog again with four darker 90′s detroit raw and funky house tracks recorded Live for Relative.Pure raw analogue vinyl power.
Appointment – Reconstruction [AP005]
The ever mysterious Appointment enclave return with the fifth volume of self titled releases, with the four untitled cuts here supposedly finished on a whistle-stop visit to our fair capital London. As per usual, the end product will appeal to those of you who prefer your house music to be raw and unhinged, not least the brooding opening track which is steeped in saturation and pumps along with a piston-like rhythm smashing through your synapses amidst a backdrop dipped in heaving vocal delay. From here Appointment dabble in sub heavy swamp house on the second track which explodes into life quite brilliantly mid way through via an endless procession of shrieking, crashing stabs. Our favourite here however is the third track, which sounds like it was recorded in a cavernous, disused tube station pairing heavily dubbed jack vocals with swirling pianos amidst the singularly dull thud of drums.
Vinalog – Disco [RELATIVE006]
Vinalog with a deep haunting technotrack on the Relative label. Spooky atmosphere combined with steady 909 percussion. The flip side has a stripped version.
Appointment – Appointment 4 [APPOINTMENT004]
Raw and direct tracks from the Appointment guys. Four tracks with influences of the pure tracks that have been brought by the early pioneers. Gritty Urban techno tracks for the industrial cities and dark basements.
Vinalog – Relative 004 [RELATIVE004]
Livejam sublabel with 4 fierce driving rhythm tracks over old schoolish samples. Darker 90’s detroit raw and funky house tracks recorded Live.
