M-Twelve is a new collaboration between Billy Nasty and Nick Dunton. Taking their name, M-Twelve, from the iconic Fred Perry T-shirt, the pair decided to combine forces based on a love of techno and electro, their strong friendship and many late night conversations in the back rooms of various nightclubs. The EP features their two original cuts of beautifully crafted emotional electro, the warm and glittering ‘All The Things’ and ‘Time Spent’ with it’s deep narrative and tough machine groove. In addition, remixes of ‘Time Spent’ come from Sync 24 (Scand / Cultivated Electronics) who delivers an energetically fuelled reworking and Electro veterans, Transparent Sound with a stripped and stomping acidic version.

Surface re-emerges from the murky depths of Londonshire with part 2 of the new sub division ‘Beneath the Surface’. Between Worlds sees Sandwell District team up with Nick Dunton with an ep dedicated to long time friend and Nicks fellow maverick Richard Polson R.I.P. The A side sees Nick delivering his trademark emotive sounds.. lush harmonies, deep drones and echoing stabs line the track whilst the phasing drums, keys and melodic sub bass keep the journey moving beautifully towards a crescendo of harmonic drifts. On the flip long time friends of the label Sandwell District strip back the layers with a special mix for Rich.

Four tracks of deep techno and electro produced by Nick Dunton, one half of The 65D Mavericks. This EP represents a bit of a departure from his hard-edged 65d style, and brings four beautiful tracks steeped in soulful imagery. It’s all classic Detroit style techno on here ranging from solid sweet dub techno to more string laden electro tracks with beautiful spoken voices. ‘Lost Love’ is absolutely the winner but all 4 tracks are top notch
