Griffé Split #2

A basement, West London, 1994. An unknown artist surrounded by machines. The sun peeking through the curtain - a reminder that at some point, you really need to go to bed.But not yet, there’s still tunes to be made.The mysterious and highly sought after Sun-D EP gets a well deserved reissue on AGT Records. With shades of early progressive house, trance and bleep, this record is ready for the sunrise moments we’ve been waiting a long, long time for.

Small Moves is back with their 5th release, this time, 3 party bombs from O’Malley, Sohrab, FSK24, with a deep mind melting breaks trip from Cobert.

Bristol-based imprint Sex Tapes From Mars third release comes via JATA, presenting a reissue of his highly sought after, 1991 dance relic. Presented are three gritty, pulsing exercises in delayed gratification that have all the more impact when they finally hit top gear. The A1, ‘Stutter I’ manages deep introspection while still holding on to the part of the night that makes your head rush and your heart flutter. It comprises four sublimely sewn, yet prominently different movements, climaxing in beating, bumpy bliss. On the flip, the sense of strangely balanced synthesis makes ‘Midstate’ a remarkable sonic quandary. Its uptempo synth melody is joined with spacey stabs, and deep, unnerving swells. "Stutter II," meanwhile, centers on trippy, bright-eyed acid, lifted by a surprisingly tight flex of pummelling kicks, jagged hi-hats and pure, swelling pads. It’s a psychedelic symphony of earnest rhythms and bass, perfect for early-morning smoke and shadows. Each track on STFM03 has its own subtle but effective drama, sharing a masterclass in esoterically crafted noises.
