Title:	Machine Says Yes
Label:	CITY ROCKERS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	CROCK 002CD

"Machine Says Yes is an electrifying fusion of futurist acid house and silicone soul, driven by the sense of adventure and distaste for the mainstream that has always been the boys stock in trade. After capturing their own sound on various remixes (Luke Slater, Morel, Felix Da Housecat) Dan and Jon's next step was to translate this to their own music. They gradually enlisted the talents of like-minded collaborators Hafdis Huld, formerly with Iceland's Gus Gus, who sings on the icy swagger of the title track and the sensual 'Hayling'. Eileen Rose, an American singer songwriter on Rough Trade who graces 'North Pole Transmission' with her sensual vocal style and Si Jones, Verve alumnus ?.. and Jon's neighbour, who contributes his bass skills to a few tracks. Gruff Rhys, of Super Furry Animals, meanwhile contributes to 'Fear of guitars' with 'a paranoid mantra about the state of air conditioning'! This album is a bold rejection of conventional dance music and mainstream clubbing. Machine Says Yes harks back to the early days of acid house whilst setting it's sights firmly on the future. The artwork concept is based around the intrusive nature of marketing campaigns and giant billboards . It's a statement on how much information we have thrust at us but a reminder that this is not the only information available. There is always an alternative for you." Limited stock, deleted item.

Artist:	BOGGS, THE
Title:	Stitches
Label:	CITY ROCKERS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	CROCK 009CD

"With Stitches The Boggs distance themselves from their early sound and elaborate on the primitive urgency of their live show. The Boggs hail from Brooklyn NYC where artists have consistently displayed an ability to absorb influences from other cultures and countries whilst maintaining a distinct identity. Sharing the same schizoid mentality as their home city The Boggs feature the city's best drummer in Brad Conroy and two near virtuoso guitarists in Ezekiel Healy and Jason Friedman. The bands second remarkable album in as many years sounds innovative and fresh at a time when much music is sounding tired and formulaic. Unique and laden with attitude Stitches is raw, dark, loud and aggressive yet at the very same time the sometimes eerie phrasing of vocals lends a softer edge to the album."

Title:	Legs With Wings/Nonsensica
Label:	CITY ROCKERS (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$8.00
Catalog #:	ROCKER 007EP

"This release comes in the shape of two very large slices of dancefloor mayhem -- deliberately infectious and simply superb. Side A 'legs with wings' is a deep roller of classic proportions... and then of course, there's the subtle bassline that gets into your veins Side AA 'non-sensica' is essentially a tribute to Moodymann, containing a spoken word sample from 'An introduction ...'. It has been given the royal blessing from none other than Kenny Dixon Jnr himself."

"The Soulsavers are Ian Glover and Richard Machin. Drawing on their diverse influences they soon began to hone a unique sound that incorporated the dark textures of bands like the Velvet's, but with more modern hip hop based production techniques. While the duo are attracting serious interest from labels on both sides of the pond, they have teamed up with current label of the moment City Rockers, to release a 6 track EP, 'Beginning to see the dark' as joint release with their own label Ghost Ride. A dark brooding cinematic affair, that also includes one of their first collaborations with Josh Haden."

Catalog #:	ROCKER 12CD

"The mysterious Freddy is rumoured to be one half of an established production team from the UK, who has released material on a plethora of labels. He decided to get a bit of sun down-under and never came back! Jumping ship in Sydney with nothing but a head full of ideas, he met up with Herman who had the hardware and the know-how to bring them to life. Their debut 'Aquarius' single samples the Floaters 'Float On' and sees the dynamic duo in full flight. One of the most sublime and serene musical moments of the year. Just gorgeous! Remixes are courtesy of the hotly tipped Radio Slave (who have recently remixed 'Lazy') and breakbeat merchants Deep Impact."
