From the Going Good camp. The drums smack. The bass is too loud. Liberia, Ghana, all the way across to Uganda. 1970’s tinpot dictatorships birth colourful sounds. Magnetic tape, Linn drums and Bucket Brigade delay units confuse the mix. Sub-cultural colonialism to destroy the dance. Still, it sounds good. And it looks nice as well!

01AM is the perfect time to start a party and it is the first release of a new label by Afrobot related to his Afrobotic Musicology blog. The record contains 4 edits of music from different corners of the globe: to begin with an epic electro pop nugget from Greece and a heavily cut up Bollywood track on the A side, to finish the journey in Africa on the flip side with a percussive acid jam and a Zulu cult song that screamed for a rework. Limited edition / hand stamped artwork by Frank Koedood on the sleeve.
A lost relic from the 80’s Detroit underground. This ”demo” recording is from a cassette found in a dusty box of donations left at a second hand shop. There is no info as to who, when or where this was recorded. What is it? Post Punk? Disco (Not) Disco? Sleaze Wave? or Mutant Surf? It doesn’t matter because its fucking incredible whatever you want to call it! A glimpse into what could/should have been a very important band had they gone further than this one track demo. 7” with original mix and an edit from FIT on the flip. Artwork by Stallone The Reducer. Made in collaboration with Lo and Behold Records in Hamtramck, MI. 200 copies for the world.

Two warm and deep analog Detroit & Chicago tracks… Word on the street is these were produced in the late eighties and never released before.
”The austerity policies imposed by the governments of Northern Europe countries has impoverished the Mediterannean lands. The failure of Bruxelles’ bureaucracy has smoothed the way for th return of the Ottoman empire. Austerity is a collective of protesting producers coming from the periphery of the European Union. Their tough-sounding music is a reaction to the unfair decison of the Troika; their message of peace is conveyed through hardware hard-core house music. ”
Amsterdam’s fastest, getting down with the machines and laying down some proper dirty rhythm tracks.
Wargames is back, this time on 12” format for maximum impact. Four new tracks coming in from the dark lord of the weird, do not weep for those who are not prepared.
Part2… Mysterious, dark & distorted heavy hitters on 7”. Definitely not for everyone. ”Shout out to Matilda & the Paris regiment.”

Unknown Artist has been busy lately… another one 😉 this time some deeper intense edgy house tracks with a bit early Detroit techno. Great release with tracks that ooze with funk.
Mysterious one sided 12” from the Future Times camp. Some serious swinging house business right here!
