Artist:	SMOKE, ALEX
Title:	Shwingnut EP
Label:	VAKANT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	VA 006-1EP

First of a 2-part single. "Here Alex opts for advanced tricky rhythms to deliver three superior slices of reduced funk. 'Serious Like Plague' comes on like a schizoid Sleep Archive release, dense, moody and guaranteed to infect the dancefloor. Following on the flip is the sub-aquatic 'What Can I Say.' This erratic mind-melt bubbles with a tripped out groove. Concluding the EP is the raw and discordant 'Wingnut' -- a spangled classic from his live set."

Title:	Shminimal EP
Label:	VAKANT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	VA 006-2EP

Companion release to VA 006-1EP (Shwingnut. "The following release is the Shminimal EP. With this twelve Alex really explores the parameters of his unique sound and delivers three club killers. The EP begins with the anthemic 'Titti,' here he builds a relentless, driving groove with a penetrating bassline and scuzzy melody. Next is 'TV Is Pish' a demented discoid cut-up that freaks irresistibly. The pulsing 'Slippers & Slappers' growls this superb EP to its conclusion."

Title:	Hanged Man
Label:	VAKANT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	VA 013EP

"The Hanged Man EP spans the current avant-garde of electronic dance freakishness. The A-side attempts to contain 'It's a Carni Life,' a deep 10-minute motivator placed somewhere between 'Space Odyssey' and 'I Need Lithium.' 'Hanged Man' on the flip presents a more straightforward digital funk ordeal hinting at, but dares not say acid. Finally 'Rotwang,' named after the mad scientist out of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, makes you wonder if someone had transported you to your favorite summer festival at exactly the right moment without you noticing."
