Catalog #:	CNTXT 008.5EP

A limited re-press of the second part of the collaborative double-EP by Ricardo Villalobos and Jay Haze from 2004 (part 1 is Context 008); originally released in 2005. "Twisted flavors and electronic psychedelia. A welcome revisit of past work from two innovative producers whose music straddles the line between practical dancefloor tracks and artful compositions. Although their cosmic connection dates back years before, Ricardo Villalobos and Jay Haze first met in person in New York City in 1999. Wearing a TuningSpork Records T-shirt, Jay showed up to see Ricardo DJ one night, and Ricardo approached him to mention that he was a fan of the label. Jay responded that he was in fact the co-owner, and the two have been buddies ever since. Establishing themselves in Berlin in the early part of the new millennium, they shared a studio space together, which naturally led to some musical collaboration. Not too long after their original release in the summer and autumn of 2004, the twin EPs have been out-of-print and hard to obtain, until now. Contexterrior brings you the reissue of both 12"s, featuring six co-productions highlighted by their consistent quality within a variety of sounds: tasty acid elements, deep soulful moments, and the trademark sub-bass and buzz guaranteed to put any club subwoofer to work."

Title:	Prefer Summer/Cactus Love
Label:	CONTEXTERRIOR (NETHERLANDS)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	CNTXT 008EP

"This fourth 'versus' vinyl is a slight change from previous three. For this release, Ricardo Villalobos and Jay Haze collaborated to bring the record to your DJ bag. An artistic tandem jump if you will, the a1 is a melancholic summer hit. Melodic and deep filled with endless progression and relentless syncopation. This one is bound for the special moments when the party needs an extra kick. B1 -- 'Cactus Love' -- is a floor stomper. 4 to the floor bass killer with the kind of sound design one can expect from Villalobos and Haze. Minimal funk in every possible way. The closing track -- 'Archive' -- is a delicate techno-blues track. An after-party killer wrapped in reverbs and in your face bass lines."
