Kelton Prima – Reactivated EP [MATH084]
One of the hidden artistic gems on Mathematics comes with another solo project of high class, jump up, movement on floor sounds.
Jamal Moss - 4 This Is My Gherkin Life Vol. 3 [GHERKINCD003]
While Larry Heard only ever produced two 12″ singles under the Gherkin Jerks alias, the ragged acid tracks featured in those EPs have been hugely influential. Certainly, they made a lasting impression on Jamal Moss, who earlier this year decided to record a bunch of tracks inspired by Heard’s infamous blend of rugged drum machine rhythms, twisted acid lines, and heart-aching deep house touches. 4 This Is My Gherkin Life Volume 3 continues where installments one and two left off, delivering eight more killer machine jams which temper Moss’s usual balls-out approach to Chicagoan acid with a few melancholic, melodious touches. The result is another impressive set of analogue box jams, from the bass-heavy bounce of the intoxicating “Track 8”, to the spacey electronics and Detroit drums of “Track 5”.
The Angel Race – Futureshock Disco [MATH083]
Time for some serious maniac sonics for the world to enjoy the way Mathematics has been known for by combining the talents of two insane sonic visionaries, Deviere & Jamal Moss. A fusion of Larry Heard, Sun Ra, and Armando. This EP is to ease you into what’s about to come.
Marco Bernardi – Motionless [MATH082]
Given the prolific nature of his output and close links to Jamal Moss, it’s something of a surprise to find that Motionless is Marco Bernadi’s first outing on Mathematics. It sees the Bristol-based Glaswegian in suitably nostalgic mode, dropping a quartet of tracks that pop and crackle with vintage analogue rhythms, raw electronics, and intoxicated acid lines. The A-side boasts two chunks of electro/techno fusion, with the vintage rave stabs, relentless drum hits and barely audible vocal samples of “Shiny Windows” most impressing. Flip for the skittering rave breakbeats, foreboding chords and undulating acid lines of “Finite Space”, and “Hater of Love”, a sparkling fusion of sharp electronics, bubbling acid bass and foreboding, anti-fun vocals.
Face Of Drums – Thanks 4 The Tracks U Lost Volume 2 [MATH081]
Steve Poindexter & Jamal Moss here with Thanks 4 The Tracks VOL 2 from the lost track series. This will not leave you guessing what this whole series is about and what’s to come. Not for the faint at heart of newbies.
Face Of Drums – Thanks 4 The Tracks U Lost Vol 1 [MATH080]
Chicago duo, Steve Poindexter & Jamal Moss coming together once again for Thanks 4 The Tracks U Lost Vol 1, lost material created over 20 years ago. Salvaged from cassette tapes and DAT’s comprised of over 30 tracks of raw, original Chicago sound that influenced the world.
VA – The First True Language Of The Universe Volume 2 [MATH079]
Mathematics Recordings presents the second retrospective volume of their releases. Tracks by Andreas Gehm, Deviere, Ra Thout & The Brigante’s Orchestra and John Heckle.
VA – The First True Language Volume 1 [MATH078]
Mathematics Recordings presents a two volumes retrospective of their releases. On this first volume we find tracks by IFM, Echo 106, Bon Voyage, Kuba Sojka, Joe Drive, Takeshi Kouzuki, John Heckle and Marcello Napoletano.
Le Matin – The collective At Play EP [MATH077]
Le Matin returns with an eclectic selection of ambient and classic underground structures with a some off kilter sonic expressionism and a deep beat on Mathematics Recordings.
Giorgio Luceri – True Feelings EP [MATH076]
The deep envisioned season is upon us with the new release from Giorgio Luceri, expressing some true emotion and crafting a body of work that stands on its own merit of creative intrigue and splendor of mid 90’s Chicago lofting Scene & Gallery scene.
Mark Forshaw – Tools Of The Unexpected [MATH075]
For their latest trip into the analogue unknown, Jamal Moss’s Mathematics imprint has turned to John Heckle cohort and occasional Tabernacle type Mark Forshaw. The producer duly delivers an impressively varied and superbly imagined quartet of cuts, heavy on snappy analogue percussion, stargazing synths and icy, out-there atmospherics. There’s some deep but driving underwater techno in the shape of the claustrophobic “Sessions”, a clanking exercise in drum machine love (the intense but woozy “Tolls of the Unexpected”), a deeper, slower tempo trip into melodic analogue deep house territory (“Analog Kicks”), and a acid-flecked jack-track with distinct Detroit techno overtones (“Neptanus”).
Chris Moss Acid – Slam The Box [MATH074] (FREE DOWNLOAD)
Chris Moss Acid returns to Mathematics after a 6 year hiatus with a manic furry onslaught of squelch & tweaks to rupture the mind. Hard hitting acid tracks and good old fashion four to the floor rhythms.

The Power Plant Experience – The Power Plant EP [MATH073]
Mathematics Recordings presents a new classic deep house collaboration between former founding member of Virgo Four Merwyn Sanders and Italy’s prolific Simoncino. Emotive sounds of organic roots for the basement and bare bones sound systems. The 12″ also includes a remix from Kai Alce.
Giorgio Luceri – A Love Supremacy [MATH072]
2014 brings back Giorgio Luceri for his 3rd outing on the Mathematics imprint. “Falena” on Side A is a subtle house track for those early sets. Track 2 is more on the techno tip with heavy synth stabs & drum programming. Flip it & we bring up the tempo with both “Vernice” & “A Love Supremacy”.
Hieroglyphic Being – A Synthetic Love Life: +++10 Love [MATHSPLUS010]
“A Synthetic Love Life” is an 8 track “compilation of experimental tunes & sonic art in retrospect from 1996-2013”. Mathematics label boss/founder Jamal Moss releases some of his more challenging tunes on the Mathematics Plus side label. Limited pressing, hand stamped with printed insert.
Hieroglyphic Being – Seer Of Cosmic Visions [Free Album]
Hieroglyphic Being’s Seer Of Cosmic Visions album, of original jams and reworkings of previously released tracks, exclusive to The Wire.
Inspired by Sun Ra, Chicago based House experimentalist, noise maker and Afro-Futurist, Hieroglyphic Being aka Jamal Moss has released an ever expanding cosmos of music since the 1990s. Operating under different monikers including Africans With Mainframes (with Noleian Reusse) and Insane Black Men (IBM), Moss started out selling cassettes of his music outside Chicago nightclubs, then started up his own label, Mathematics Recordings, and sub-labels Music From Mathematics and +++.
Even though Moss started out under the wing of first wave House producers Adonis and Steve Pointdexter, he’s consistently made work on the fringes of Chicago’s electronic music scene: “I never really set out to make sounds for the club or the DJ, I make them for all ears that will listen and maybe be inspired by it for positive purposes. Or hate on it for negative purposes. Either they make me better at what I do, or go out and make it how they think it should sound. Believe me, I got a lot of haters out there letting me know how it should be done, and I have a lot of lovers of what I do modify and apply my sound. It makes it to the dance by three degrees of separation regardless.”
Echo 106 – Choco & Cherry [MATH070LP]
Echo 106 debuted with the well received Broken Hi-Hat Machine and returns with this masterful full length. He grabs influence from classic electro, Chicago house, Detroit tech and throws down a distinct sound and flavor true to his own. 17 tracks in total, and some beautiful pieces on there.
Giorgio Luceri – Voices In My Head [MATH069LP]
After his “Eernamente EP” on Mathematics, Giorgio Luceri returns with an amazing debut full length album. Combining classical keys with the old and new sounds of electronic music, he creates an atmosphere perfect for dark club floors, open air festivals, and afterhours. Ten track album with a nice versatile collection of tracks.
Audio Atlas – Window 2 The World [MATH068LP]
Audio atlas with some deeper and trippy acid and techno tracks on Mathematics. Sometimes remeniscent of the early Fnac/Fcom days, sometimes going towards a early Chicago vibe. Nice one!
