Title:
Unknown Exception
Label:
MODERN LOVE (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$14.50
Catalog #:
LOVE 050CD
Subtitled:
Selected Tracks Vol. 1
. This is the second CD release from Manchester's
Andy Stott
for the Modern Love label, since his 2005 debut,
Merciless
. This is the first-ever collection of some of Andy Stott's standout vinyl-only releases, remastered by Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin. Andy Stott has developed a unique sound since his debut on Modern Love -- his first demos for the label were heavily influenced by the square bass line techno variations of
Claro Intelecto
, a longtime friend, mentor, and eventually label-mate and collaborator. His first release,
Replace
featured a mixture of disciplines that took in elements of Detroit techno and Chicago house and fast found favor with the likes of Kompakt,
De:Bug
magazine and
DJ Lawrence
, who fell for Stott's intuitive, warm melodies and padded percussion. From that point on, Stott has continued to shift and adapt his sound to take in ever disparate influences, from the driving techno of
Dave Clarke
's
Red
series through to
Basic Channel
through to dubstep, garage and the minimalism of classic Sähkö. This chameleon-like quality has set Stott apart from his contemporaries, gaining him interest from all quarters of the electronic music scene, championed by
Mary Anne Hobbs
(recording two sessions for her show), and playing to increasingly large audiences (including several shows at Berghain's legendary Panorama Bar, the Sonar Festival, Bloc Weekend and countless others). His inspired shifts from traditional techno blueprints through to the bottom-heavy signatures of dubstep and the steppers arrangements of garage have also placed him at the forefront of the dubstep/techno hybrid sounds that have started to dominate the electronic music scene in 2008 alongside the likes of
Martyn
,
Peverelist
and
T++
. This compilation brings together selected tracks dating back to Andy Stott's debut in 2005 and reaches all the way to his most recent material in 2008. Tracks feature here from his most captivating EPs and stream through his fascination with deep, almost uncontainable bass lines and ever-inventive percussive shifts.

Brief Encounter/Drippin
Label:
MODERN LOVE (UK)
Format:
12"
Price:
$12.50
Catalog #:
LOVE 055EP
Andy Stott
presents two new tracks for Modern Love. "Brief Encounter" features sunken keys underpinned by signature low-end padding and a Balearic influence, a melodic core in the same universe as
The Art Of Noise
's masterpiece "Moments In Love." "Drippin" is a rugged beast that keeps the same melody, but misshapen synths get pushed high up in the mix over squashed percussion and mangled samples -- vast bass weight keeps it steady. Think of
Zomby
,
Martyn
and

Title:
Night Jewel
Label:
MODERN LOVE (UK)
Format:
12"
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
LOVE 058EP
Night Jewel
is the first one-sided 12" on Modern Love in over a year and is also
Andy Stott
's biggest club track since the release of his overnight sell-out
Hostile
12". Revolving around reverberating chords reminiscent of
Move D
at his deadliest, it's a track that just builds into a heaving mass of feel-good vibes, honed and primed for the floor.

Title:
Tell Me Anything/Love Nothing
Label:
MODERN LOVE (UK)
Format:
12"
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
LOVE 062EP
Andy Stott
's first material of 2010 delivers two house variants produced with his typically deep and luxurious style. "Tell Me Anything" centers around shuffling snares, a rugged bass line and sparkling keys anchoring the track. "Love Nothing" is the slower of the two, unraveling to expose an unfathomably deep arrangement of decomposed vocals and mangled percussion. It sounds like
Newworldaquarium
,
Mount Kimbie
and
DJ Qu
shooting the breeze, evoking the humid spirit of a hot summer in the city.

Title:
Passed Me By/We Stay Together
Label:
MODERN LOVE (UK)
Format:
2CD
Price:
$22.00
Catalog #:
LOVE 070CD
Repressed. Two acclaimed albums from
Andy Stott
available for the first time on CD format, including four bonus tracks. Produced slowly and meticulously, these two EPs were originally released on vinyl during 2011 and have become the most widely-admired productions yet from Manchester-based Andy Stott. Taking influence from an array of seemingly incoherent noises, from the indefinable and unforgettable mind-tricks of
Arthur Russell
to the slow house of
Kassem Mosse
, from the alternate VHS realities of
James Ferraro
and
Jamal Moss
to the Linn Drum classics of the vintage
Prince
-era -- these tracks create their own pace and agenda, largely shying away from the dancefloor in favor of something more complex and hard to define. 2CD edition packaged in a deluxe oversized gatefold digifile. Mastered at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin.
