Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00

Butterz presents a limited clear-vinyl EP featuring three remixes of Terror Danjah's "Air Bubble." The original version was a main draw on Butterz' first release and featured here is a trio of diverse takes on the tune from Starkey, Swindle and Royal T. After the parts to the song were released on the Butterz blog earlier this year, over 200 producers ended up remixing it. There are only 300 copies released, so this is definitely one for the fast-fingered collector.

Title:	Undeniable
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	HDB 007CD

"Terror Danjah makes Afrobotic grime productions; an Escher-like sound which combines complex clusters of asymmetric rhythms and offbeat trapdoors with swooping synths and fx, all tagged with his trademark Gremlin Cackle audio logo. While his previous long players have been closer to mix-tapes or retrospective compilations, Undeniable is racked full of new productions and mutations of some classics from Grime's golden days, and sees him flexing with ease across the tangled landscape of British electronic music at the close of 2010, from vocal and instrumental grime and dubstep to underground house."

Title:	Grand Opening (Undeniable EP 1)
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	HDB 045EP

"Three contrasting cuts from Grime Super Producer Terror Danjah's Hyperdub debut CD Undeniable, housed in a color jacket replicating the album's lush sleeve artwork. The first track, aptly titled 'Grand Opening,' pits Dream Mclean's masterful myth-making lyrics and uber-brags against portentous choral samples and jabbing bass synths. 'Story Ending' contrasts in mood and feeling, opening with lush trance string arrangements and off-beat kicks and scattered snares laced by an R&B vocal, before the track breaks into some seriously warped synths."

Title:	Minimal Dub (Undeniable EP 2)
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	HDB 046EP

"The second EP taken from Terror Danjah's Hyperdub debut CD Undeniable features three different styled cuts landing for the vinyl lovers. 'Minimal Dub' starts proceedings, switching between half-time and full pelt with stop-start drums and a catchy rubber band-like melody played out in the bass. But it's the unexpected tech breakdown in the middle, and the synth-line that appears on the drop that makes this the dance floor slayer that it's rapidly become. Its growing momentum has already been infecting ears across genres."

Title:	S.O.S. (Undeniable EP 3)
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	HDB 047EP

"The third EP taken from Terror Danjah's Undeniable CD kicks off with one of the big surprises of the album, the inimitable genre-traversing 'S.O.S.' with a simple melodic riff played out over drum patterns that shift up in down in rhythm and tempo, grinding to a halt in the middle of the track before starting up again. 'Sonar (Selassi Mix)' is a beatless mix of Terror's classic grime riddim 'Sonar,' where the originals rhythmic fx and melody pulse in and out of the mix creating strange smeared textures as sounds rub against each other."

Title:	Leave Me Alone (Undeniable EP 4)
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	HDB 048EP

"The fourth and final EP taken from Terror Danjah's Undeniable CD opens with the amazing 'Leave Me Alone' featuring Terror's old vocal spar Bruza. This time it's different though - instead of his usual cockney mateyness, Bruza's reflecting on his bad mood. 'All I Wanna Do' is the album's densest track, featuring East End singer / songwriter Lauren Mason, who complements Terror's moody music with a forlorn and angry vocal about a break-up, Terror editing her lines into strange rhythmic shapes which rub against the subtle trap-doors and fills of his accompaniment."

Title:	U Make Me Feel
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	HDB 058EP

"Terror Danjah's first Hyperdub single of 2011 is an amazing coup, pulling out of the archive a near-perfect collaboration with singer Meleka, where Terror tempers his grimey production, veering uncharacteristically towards featherlight lushness, while lacing Meleka's sensuous, pitched charisma with a deceptively vicious sub. Terror's crisp, asymmetric bed of stuttering drums remind us of a time gone by when Timbaland's falter-funk R&B rhythm programming was an inspiration. 'Morph 2' featuring D.O.K. is the yang to 'U Make Me Feel's yin, drawing gruff, serious strings through hall of mirrors micro-edits, dragging the riff backwards, punctuating it with gremlin chuckles and 'woo's and running the pattern against a tense bleepy melody. It's a dark and vertiginous rush with all the anger of grime at it's ferocious peak."

Title:	Gremlinz (The Instrumentals 2003-2009)
Label:	PLANET MU (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	ZIQ 249CD

"Terror Danjah isn't a household name -- he's not as well-known as Wiley or Dizzee Rascal -- but he's considered by the grime cognoscenti to be the best grime producer ever, and this new collection of instrumentals, remixes, and tracks for others shows off his singular genius to the rest of the world. The title of the album refers to his gremlin cackle audiologo that indicates a Terror Danjah production, much like Timbaland's singing / beat boxing on his early productions. And the comparison with Timbaland doesn't stop there: both producers work with a signature palette of sounds, adding to them occasionally, which make their productions instantly recognizable; both use shifting, syncopated rhythms. What sets Terror Danjah apart is that he's British, he works around the tempo of 140 bpm, and his music is part of the aggressive, post-garage grime movement. Despite the pared-down palette he uses, Terror fills his productions with brilliant ideas, complex rhythms, and pop hooks. He has worked with both MCs and vocalists from Nasty Crew, Skepta, and Wiley to Shystie, Shola Ama, and now Mz Bratt. These tracks were mostly issued in limited vinyl quantities on the Aftershock label, as either instrumental tracks or as backing for MCs and singers. If one wants to hear a precursor to Joker and the new Bristol producers, here it is."

Title:	Reinforced
Label:	RWINA (NETHERLANDS)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	RWINA 009EP

"Yes people, like Dillinja once said, it's time to get grimey! The man, the myth, the legend, Mr Terror Danjah blesses Rwina with the Reinforced EP. A storming 3 tracker of top class grime for the connoisseurs, the EP is fully equipped with lazershifting bass-terrorism and high-end sonic manipulation. The lead track, 'Reinforced', switches from sweet but dark R&B vibes to classic acid-esque rave touches, guaranteeing a proper reaction on the floor. 'Peanut Punch', a collaboration with regular sparringpartner D.O.K., sprinkles neon highlights over a minimal, bass-led beat, while the EP finishes up with 'Stomp Test' - 4 to the floor club music designed to kill any dance. Rwina & Terror Danjah - a perfect fit."
