Artist:	[A]PENDICS.SHUFFLE & ALTIPLY
Title:	Lonely Payback EP
Label:	ADJUNCT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	ADJUN TICS0101

"Adjunct Records proudly presents the first release in a series of 12" collaborative projects. Label head Kenneth James Gibson and Ian Read (a new Adjunct artist known as Altiply) take up on the first adventure and indenture their talents to the ominous Master of Ceremonies of the Cabaret Noir. 'Lonely Payback,' an unapologetic dancefloor rattler, rides on a relentless bassline of compressed elasticity, spraying infectious rhythms through the unsanitized tubes of Ken's synthesizers while a faceless nightrider recites lines from the shredded pages of his apocrypha. Ian's sample framework and uncanny melodies complete the 'R' rating of this picture. The hands of Papa Sang Bass have thrown the original on the operating table of a B horror movie set and prepared for dissection. The surgery remains incomplete as the strong bond of drum and bass is indestructible, the vocals refuse to discharge and the rest of the original components keep popping out through the sloppy stitching job. In 'Simply Candid' the duo test the endurance of their machines by sculpting a cascade of barbaric synth patterns, one over the next, twisting the control knobs on the primitive effects. Archaic shuffled beats are stomping forward, hammering away for the entire six minutes and twenty-three seconds."

Title:	Take Me Higher
Label:	ADJUNCT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	ADJUN TICS0103

With John Tejada remix. "The second 12" collaboration between Ken Gibson and Mikael Stavöstrand brings two more liberated compositions to our listeners. 'Take Me Higher' takes itself further out beyond the world of free-style electronic music tethered by a four-four beat, and leaves itself there. Guest vocalist Erika Alexandersson provides late night melancholy, her voice echoing from a small box (or perhaps a large cell) in a lonely narrative of preconscious poetry. The synth patterns riff like a cyborg guitar hero, tender transients layered in mist, as accidental orcas dive deep into a whirlpool of dissonant dreams. Tejada's remix builds on the solid rhythmic foundation of the original track, bypasses the cognitive process and directly permeates the cerebellum, effectively luring the listener into aurally-induced hypnosis (hip-nosis?). Slow-acting acid sweeps wax and wane, while thumbnail voice sketches occasionally burn through the mix, creating new currents of vocal turbulence through the original track's surf. 'Small Boxes' is the 'to be continued' tag at the end of this record, a pagan dance setting out on a restless hero's journey, cut short by this edit to only 6 min..."

Artist:	DILO VS GURTZ
Title:	Tundra
Label:	ADJUNCT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	ADJUN TICS0104

"Straight from the epicenter of the Argentine techno quakes, producers Franco DiLorenzo and Gonzalo Urtizberea have launched their first torpedo on Adjunct. A powerful duo proudly presented by Adjunct. Rising global temperature has driven Dilo & Gurtz far into the subsoil coolness of the 'Tundra.' Sinewave oscillating on and on through layers of joyful harmonies, mischievous patterns interplay, compressors can hardly contain the kick and bass tandem. A digital nightingale serenade for the late night free flights. On side B 'Polaroso' continues the Nordic excursions. As the numbers on the global parallels scale diminish the suspense grows and the fog thickens. Faint radio transmissions buzz on dead channels, the Morse alphabet re-invented, while the twelve dog sled pushes its way further and further into the frozen lands. 'Zorro de Hielo' wraps the record perfectly. The gracious walk of the fox filmed through the lens of an unfamiliar apparatus."

Artist:	PHEEK
Title:	Ideal Love
Label:	ADJUNCT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	ADJUN TILL001

"Montreal resident Jean-Patrice Rémillard is known to the world as Pheek. Following his stellar track on Adjunct Volume One we proudly present the Ideal Love 12". Three fantastic tales of love, ideals, the machines and the anguish of the idle moments in between. Convolving threads of tortuous rhythms , turbulent percussions , heartfelt melodies: this curious amalgam of Jean's unique sound design and solid 4/4 beat delivers an everlasting dancefloor hit."

Title:	Hot Guardian and the Freestyle
Label:	ADJUNCT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	ADJUN TILL002

"Kenneth James Gibson is starting the year with his first 12" on his own label Adjunct. Side A features 'Dirty Bed' -- a diabolical number, a granular database computation in the algebra of acid grooves. On the flip side West End ghetto recycles the original's rusty particles and galvanizes them into a mighty late night stomper. Next, 'Optimal Clamour' ventures in the alleys of Los Angeles where the mysterious garbage man murmurs a poem and summons Ken's synthesizers to leave their bodies."

Artist:	PARADROID
Title:	Suggestive Workout Routines
Label:	ADJUNCT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	ADJUN TILL003

"Max Wending has concocted a record of immense knee-bending power, a potent dose of the Paradroid funk formulated to ruffle, inflame and possibly even entrance your local discotheque. Side A: 'The Balearic Dream Recovery' -- a series of invalid entries into the paradroid algorithm have been perfectly resequenced into a joyous soundtrack for the dancehalls of the grotesque. In Dapayk's version 'The Balearic Dream Recovery' does not reoccur -- a completely unrelated yet just as tantalizing dream is formed instead. Once the needle reaches the last track on this record, your turntable will suddenly age a thousand years, the electric circuits of your house will be shorting frequently and the 'Broken Anticipator Module,' true to its name, will broadcast an urgent malfunction across all bandwidths."

Artist:	FOTMEIJER, JOHAN
Title:	Listen & Repeat EP
Label:	ADJUNCT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	ADJUN TILL004

"Four wondrous tales conceived by Johan Fotmeijer: 'Listen and Repeat,' the resistance's transmission is in code, listen and repeat, decipher and liberate. 'The Pen' is lost in a maze, the lights are trapped, the stuttering voice coming from the intercom is failing to lead the way out. The electromechanical rhythms are afraid to break the rank, the gongs of justice are echoing out of sync and the reincarnation of the supercomputer Alphaville is feverishly repeating that it is 'all about respect.' In 'Venom' the corroded circuits of Johan's sound devices have stopped following his commands -- not a simple matter of disobedience but the terrifying first stage of a digital flu pandemic."

Artist:	STAVÖSTRAND, MIKAEL
Title:	Compliments EP
Label:	ADJUNCT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	ADJUN TILL005

"A moody and contemplative three tracker from Mikael Stavöstrand marks the coming of the solstice of the summer of Adjunct. Wavering layers of misty drones and vulnerable synth patterns comprise 'Kongo,' a microscopic zodiac of scattered thoughts the poet reveals fate in entropy. 'Compliments' tiptoes in weightless serenity only to be kidnapped, drugged and taken to the outer-most ring of the sawtooth primitives. Deceptively entitled, 'Discomerde' is the last bead on Mikael's abacus. Never to produce a solid integer, but rather to open a tiny window with a view of his inspiraled galaxy."

Artist:	SPIESS, PETER F.
Title:	Wortkarg EP
Label:	ADJUNCT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	ADJUN TILL006

"Peter F. Spiess known for his fantastic releases on Klang, Contexterrior and his own label of Mystery Alpha, has now joined the Adjunct clan with his first 12" entitled 'Wortkarg,' a descent deep into the starry summer nights. Frisky and mischievous 'Scissors Tailed Fly Catcher' chirps miniature sounds and organ stubs sending the gracious king bird sky high through windy filter sweeps and through bubbly sine-wave clouds. 'Frog In Hand' wobbles in an electromechanical dance, filtered bass and drums, loopy synths and samples laying down the theme for the miniature vaudeville of the amphibians. The title-track 'Wortkarg' is a deep techno emission that comes slicing through vapors of analog oscillations, making its way deeper and deeper into a dark vortex where the only light seen are microscopic fireworks of high frequency sonic particles. Ambient 'Spielmacher' ends the records with ever-growing cosmic pulsation, estranged percussion play and the friction within an unfamiliar matter of low viscosity."

Artist:	MORITA, TAKUYA
Title:	Woman and Shadow
Label:	ADJUNCT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	ADJUN TILL009

"Tokyo-based Takuya Morita is one of the most promising young Japanese artists in the minimal techno scene. After releases on the Morr Music and CYMK labels, he is now debuting on Adjunct with his most uncompromising and powerful dance music to date. A single string pattern opens up 'Woman and Shadow,' its hypnotic summon is soon answered by syncopated bleepy patterns and staccato synth. Dark vocal samples permeate the scene, the bass warbles the floorboards, the cavalcade of rhythms soon turns its march into a gallop, a maddened late night ride of Takuya's wild stallions. Jeremy P. Caulfield catapults the original's sound particles into space and conducts their fall into a gracious dance of echoing and reverberating beauty. 'Broken Memory' is another fundamental parable in the Book of The Morita Law of Techno. The high priest reads the Proverbs, his chimes of trance hypnotize the crowds through an infinite vertigo of magnetizing dance rhythms. A serious effort for serious holiday celebrations."

Artist:	RUSSELL, SEBASTIAN
Title:	Sexus
Label:	ADJUNCT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	ADJUN TILL011

"London resident, French-born Sebastian Russell has credits to his name on labels like Milnor Modern, Telegraph and Safari Electronique. A producer with a distinct sonic signature and a talent for creating infectious jacky grooves, Sebastian is now a proud new member of the Adjunct faculty. Acid shower drizzle kicks 'Sexus' off, melts down the tile floor and drops all the way down to the eternal basement of Seb's studio. The party is joined by squealing inorganic beings, ferocious drum computer and turns into a micro-fireworks-tech-house celebration. [a]pendics.shuffle effectively neutralizes the acid with bubbly alkaline, mischievous beats and a syncopated re-sequence of the original's acid stream. 'The Wing Chun Punch' and 'British Fart' continue the journey beneath the city streets. Swung and extra-tight beat programming, FX knobs on max, diabolical vocal warnings and other unexpected occurrences lead the way through the abstract realm of Sebastian's land of wonders."

Artist:	PISATURO, CAROLA
Title:	Delle Palme
Label:	ADJUNCT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	ADJUN TILL013

"Carola was born in Rome and at the tender age of eight transported to Naples, Italy with mom and dad. At eighteen she left home, traveled north and began hanging out in the world of dance music, which introduced her to electronic sounds. She was captivated. The sonority of these manipulated compositions opened the port to an enchanted voyage, delicately preparing for her debut. Her DJ carrier started in 1997, from that point on, Carola plunged in compulsively exploring and experiencing sounds inspiring her personal path. In 2002, she graduated in sound engineering and worked for studio productions in Rome and Milan. Then, it was back to Naples. In her apartment, she built a studio where her impulse twisted and shaped ingenious sounds into her own sleek, funky style. After achieving her first releases (Bush, Southsoul Records) in 2005 she set up Titbit Music, which has rapidly become one of the 'it' labels for funky, minimal techno. She has also established the label Claque Musique and the net sister Claque Net as a playground for both well-known artists and newcomers. Carola lives in Naples, where she continues her exploration and love of release through music. Adjunct has selected two out of a number of excellent tracks. Funky, sleek and beautifully produced pieces accompanied by yet another bizarre PSB remix."

Artist:	WESTEND GHETTO
Title:	Glitchgirls EP
Label:	ADJUNCT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	ADJUN TILT001

"Westend Ghetto, Einmeier & Maria Ovenbröd have unsheathed their swords, put the battle switch in 'on' position yet no blood shall be shed. Instead this army of 3 is going to take it to the mountain and leave it there (only for 22min 19sec). 'Bettschmelzflocke' rushes in with a demanding timbre, slamming percussions in incorrect chronological order while hypnotizing pendulums of vocal snippets and debris of sound are forging rhythm of solid steel. Abrasive 'Wa Si Wil' follows -- the drum machine under house arrest, the acid formula wrongfully derived, the dancefloor imperiled."

Artist:	VA
Title:	Adjunct: Volume One
Label:	ADJUNCT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	ADJUNCT 001EP

"A mysterious new label from Kenneth James Gibson aka [a]pendics.shuffle and Orac's own Konstantin Gabbro kicking off with an exquisite 12" compilation simply titled Volume One. Rising techno star Pheek (Contexterrior, Minus) opens up with 'Boot Me,' an undeniably strong knee bender for the dancefloors of tomorrow. John Tejada (Palette, Playhouse) follows with 'Are They Mad Future Robots?' -- a lush and bleepy acid experiment. On the flip side Bruno Pronsato (Orac, Musique Risquee) rocks his atonal drum machine in 'Party Soap' while label boss [a]pendics.shuffle ventures into another universe with the futuristic cut 'Styro Vygor.' Exciting packaging courtesy of artist Kiko Tabuchi, fantastic tracks, a must-have record."

Artist:	VA
Title:	Volume Two
Label:	ADJUNCT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	ADJUNCT 002EP

"The second installment of the adjunct 12" compilations is here to pop the cork on another vintage. High tension funk specialist Paradroid (Boogizm, Plateaux Resistance) opens up with 'Spatial Elevation Patterns.' Next Mikael Stavöstrand (Force Inc, Onitor) loops up hypnotic computer patterns in an effort to establish 'Body Control.' On the flip side Tomas Jirku (Klang, Traum) riddles the minimal cabaret tale 'Obrazotvornost' featuring vo by a legendary 20th century artist. In conclusion Papa Sang Bass worships low fidelity in 'A Comic Relief'."

Artist:	CLAYTON/SUTEKH, KIT
Title:	I Left My Heart In San Francisco
Label:	ADJUNCT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	ADJUNCT 016EP

"The names of Joshua Kit Clayton and Sutekh need little introduction. The two residents of the city by the bay have released inspiring records on the now-classic Californian imprints Cytrax and Delay, as well as on the brilliant labels Force Inc, ~scape, Background and Soul Jazz. Kit Clayton's 'Loroco' is a synthesizer purist anthem. Raw sawtooth patterns charge forward, dense tribal drum beats jab and jagger rendering the exotic flower reference of the title irrelevant. Jorge Savoretti invites friend Lucas Mari for a ritual burning of the original. The two let the fires smolder and the ashes dance, a swarm of electric bees is out for the precious honey of the 'Loroco.' Sutekh delivers a track we'd like to label an instant classic. The beat is electro, twisted rhythms gurgle through the track, gracious synthesizer melodies flow from the machines of a digital troubadour. In Dilo's rework, the original melody dances and flirts with his Latin rhythms in ecstatic celebration above the blue and windy southern seas. A musical interpretation of child-like exuberance and awe takes this little cart of a 12" no closer than halfway to the stars."

Artist:	DILO VS GURTZ
Title:	Tundra Remixed
Label:	ADJUNCT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	ADJUNCT 018EP

"Following the prodigious success of the Dilo vs. Gurtz 12", Tundra, Adjunct is proud to present 'Tundra' remixed. The project was intended for digital release only, but once all remixes arrived, Adjunct HQ reconsidered. The tracks have been in circulation in Los Angeles for a while now and we cannot find better words than what these celebrities had to say about the record: 'Will play this record in all my sets!!!!' --DJ AM PM; 'I thought Adjunct was in Los Angeles but it turns out it is on another planet!!!' --Paris Hilton; 'Franco Cinelli's remix is the finest techno ever!!!!' --Lindsay Lohan; 'From Karaoke To Stardom surely lives up to his name!!!!' --Gwen Stefani; 'You haven't heard this record yet!!?? Beat it!!!!!' --Michael Jackson; 'Tundra has come to cool off the raging Californian fires!' --Steve Tuffs, Chief of Fire Dept."
