"Amazing packaging and music from Bristol based DJ & producer Wedge. Coming with a fresh take on the dubstep sound with the debut release on his new label If Symptoms Persist... Having hosted his successful radio show on Sub M for four years, this first release represents the fruitful hookup that have come from the show. With the best of musical and vocal talent passing through, the show has become a watchword for keeping up on the developments in the Bristol sound. Shadz is one of the many talented vocalists to have guested on the show, and before long Wedge invited him into the studio to collaborate. The result is a perfect combination of bass weight beats and soulful songwriting. Shadz uses his experience singing with many different projects (Joker - 'Keep your eye on the ball,' Gemmy 'The Croft' Seezy -'Whatever the weather,' TC - 'Untitled,' Distorted Minds - 'Otherside') to great effect and comes up with an infectious lyric with a yearning, searching theme that suits Wedges deep bass pressure perfectly. 'Running Away' join the long line of great vocal tun to come out of Bristol, from Smith & Mighty, Tricky, & Portishead to Reprazent & Ben Westbeech. 'Running Away - Guido Remix': On the flip, rising talent Guido (one of the Purple Three along with Joker and Gemmy) turns in a remix that sums up the excitement surrounding these producers. R&B, grime, & dubstep are thrown into the mix. A rinsing b line mixes with Guido's trademark orchestration & musicality. Two prime examples of why people are looking to Bristol for a fresh take on the Dubstep / GrimeGoodnessKnowsWhat sound with DJs as diverse as Mary Anne Hobbs (Radio 1), Mr Jm (1Xtra), The Foreign Beggars (Dented Record ), Footloose (1Xtra), Starkey (Planet Mu), and N-Type (Rinse FM) supporting this release, things are looking great for this new label."

Artist:	GATEKEEPER/APPLEBLIM
Title:	Blip/Vansan (Gatekeeper Remix)
Label:	IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	ISP 002EP

"A nice quick follow-up to a great first release on Wedge's new label ISP, this time by his good friend Gatekeeper. As the name suggests, 'Blip' on the A centers around an incessant beep motif, slowly treated and effected over time as the tune develops -- sliding breaks, deep punchy bass, and then those gorgeous shimmering chords evolving throughout. On the B, Gatekeeper tackles Appleblim's Skull Disco anthem 'Vansan' -- expounding the original themes of texture created by delay and reverb and incorporating them into a 140bpm technical jungle piece."

Artist:	WEDGE & AESOTERIC
Title:	A Night On The Wonk
Label:	IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	ISP 003EP

"'A Night on the Wonk' is on an experimental tip with highly addictive horn and chime hooks. The Gemmy remix takes the chime section, gives it some of the well known purple treatment and turns it into a highly distinctive but slightly sickly intro. I say sickly but that's perhaps because I've listened to it a lot of times in a fairly short period of time. However we're then treated to a bleepy roller with moderate variation to keep things interesting. This makes it perfect for an early set or casual listening. 'Detached Reality' crackles its way through some haunting vocals and evil guitar riffs creating a tense but soothing atmosphere -- detaching you from reality, sinking you into your seat while your mind starts to play tricks with itself. What are we really here for?"

"ISP is proud to present Al Tourettes, highly regarded by the likes of Appleblim and Mary Anne Hobbs as one of the most inventive and innovative producers around at the moment. Al makes his debut for If Symptoms Persist with two fresh tracks of quality electronic machine funk! Combining many elements from electro, techno, dubstep and electronica, his music is characterized by complex poly-rhythms, gritty sub-bass, and extreme digital effects processing, all bound together by a heavy dose of funk."
