Artist:	GONNO
Title:	I Don't Need Competion
Label:	BEYOND (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	BEYOND 001EP

"Another unknown, unexpected, magic and mystical white label series. Beyond is an interstellar trip to Chicago/Detroit/Chicago by (that's all we know) a new young Japanese mastermind called Gonno and remixed by none less than Irish techno hip priest Donnacha Costello. The four tracks are deep intense and kicking, reminiscent to early Ront Trent, Chez Damier and Nu Groove with a hint of Ivan Iacobucci or Caucasian Boy mixed in but innovative and not a rip off. Beyond is modern class of 2008 deep house as we want it -- open and airy, produced but with thick drums, net bass and slightly pitched dusted atmospherics that bring mind and body together as one heavy dancing unit. Beyond galore!"

Artist:	KAPUCHON & BENNY RODRIGUES
Title:	Unexpected E.P.
Label:	BEYOND (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	BEYOND 002EP

"The next installment from the new Beyond imprint is with us, featuring two newcomers from the thriving U.S. underground: Kapuchon & Benny Rodriques. The pair bring a magical Detroit infused collection of warm, urgent and modern house music into our peripheral vision where it's simply hard to ignore. Like a well loved vintage drum machine tweaked to perfection, or a dusty old synth rejuvenated. 'And Again' draws inspiration from the rich synthesized landscapes of classic Detroit techno, however adding a totally fresh and modern aesthetic, through its use of precise drum fills and beautifully crafted harmonies. On a more thoughtful, soulful tip, 'Unexpected' unravels itself with smooth chord atmospheres, driving, solid-state percussion and teasing delay FX. The story might be a familiar one to those who have their ears firmly pressed to the dancefloor, but for good reason, as these two fine storytellers have crafted a golden moment for the late, late hours. The acidic ride of 'Potato Tomato,' with its pushing sub bass and glistening crescendos is perhaps the toughest cut of the EP, and delivers the energy where its needed whilst still holding onto that classic, deep-as-dawn Chicago-to-Detroit vibe."

Artist:	FLASHNAP
Title:	Suludada EP
Label:	BEYOND (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	BEYOND 003EP

"The next installment from the new Beyond imprint is with us...Newcomer Ingo Thomas provides the next installment on Beyond with three very unique, raw and individual tracks on vinyl. The off kilter, deep and Detroit inspired 'Suludada' charms and chimes its way down a dusty, richly textured path as the meandering synth themes intertwine and grow throughout 8 and half minutes. Painting a mysterious picture of late night abandon, echoes of dark moody club atmospheres and super deep vibes a plenty, it's a really stand out track and the quality doesn't let off here! 'Sweep' is another suitably textural offering that lays down tense atmospheric chords and uplifting synth themes from the very start. Reminding us of some of the very best deep techno from over the decades, thrown into one giant melting pot of quality, inventive production, it makes us wonder if our man Ingo just might be a future electronic music figurehead in the making! Closing the record we find 'Hum Reprise', whose dubby stabs, tricky arrangement and bad ass reduction all contribute to another wonderful track. Certainly intended to play loud, this outstanding piece of other worldly electronic entertainment is yet another reason to remember the name Flashnap."
