Red Light Radio’s lovely Orpheu gave us a typical taste of his deep knowledge via some percussive loveliness.
Here is a new project introducing The Farmers aka Konsnix : Nixxon and Kons Istant from Copenhagen and Heninspace from Dresden. All started with ‘Toss Your Salat’, a dubby/acid jam made during a meeting in Dresden for a friend’s birthday, after listening the track Sacha Mambo decided to put it out on Macadam Mambo. Back in Copenhagen Konsnix started to work on ’70A-1′ a ruff electro track in the Viewlex style, on his side Heninspace worked on ‘Humla’ a bit more atmospheric/acid tune. If you like druggy, psychedelic atmospheres this is for you.
The Tribe has taken a break from the outer space excursions deciding to spend some holidays in Capri and where to stay if not at legendary Qvisisana?! Electronic jazz-funk, maritime vibes, lush and luxurious attitude, this mini-lp consists of Mystic Jungle Tribe’s sunset soundtrack, adding a new dock to the Early Sounds journey around mediterranean sounds.

“Today, we have computer software consisting of representations of a three dimensional interface on a two dimensional screen, being controlled by a third party hardware, emulating the sound of machines built twenty years ago, which were themselves built emulating the sound of a machine built thirty years before yet.” – Nate Harrison ‘Mass Confusion’ is about our struggle to understand and survive within this world and its illusions, keeping our own identity, desires and hopes up. Welcome to the mess.
Insane hyper hybrid combo of wave/house/techno by Murray CY of Glasgow. The CY stands for Contort Yourself’ the label he runs which bridges the gaps between lost sounds of the past and contemprary noise makers, this ep displaying the producers take on the sound perfectly. All four tracks move in their own way from mid-tempo heaviness to more peak time fare. This is the rough back alley stuff you’ve been warned about! US pressing, import price.
Brooks Mosher, one of Dolly’s solid regulars, delivers another excellent high quality Detroit injected house EP.
Two original tracks and two edits from Detroit’s up-and-coming talent: Val G. Her youthful fresh style shows she’s learning to stand on her own two feet behind gear that’s been around decades longer than she has.
Dubmasters come back strong on their second release on our catalog, with a heavily road tested banger. 12 Bar Disco is a caleidoscope of surfed out guitar riffs, dubby chops and vintage pads over a funky 90’s Manchester synth bassline, that has proven to shake dance floors around the globe. For this E.P. the original is taken on a slight dubbed out deviation with tape delays taking the foreground on the mix, cosmic pads and extended psychedelic breakdown, definitely a monster. Remixes by Phunktastike and Ilya Santana.
Fortuna Co-Founder Kalbata takes the controls for this new, Middle Eastern techno banger. Al-Shark is a banging Arab Farfisa excursion played frantically on an analog techno rhythm section. It’s the first release from the Fortuna camp which is not a reissue, but worry not, this could easily be an ancient Lebanese proto-House experiment unearthed from a dusty reel. For the B-side Kalbata takes things even further with a tribal relick of the original, placing us in a voodoo ceremony where ghosts of sinners come to dance.

Two compositions, scored for trio: Papyrus is excursive and melancholic, with giveaway distorted kicks; the flip is more hard-hitting and propulsive, with an industrial intensity lifted by simple piano motifs.
