Artist:	SCSI-9
Title:	Kroy Menya V Pol Bita
Label:	FEAR OF FLYING (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	FOF 006EP

"'Kroy Menya' had been in our record boxes since it first appeared on SCSI-9's excellent and highly-acclaimed Digital Russian LP back in 2003. Liking it as much as we did we though it'd be rather nice to give it a leg up into the year 2007 with a nice lil' remix package. So firstly we employed the services of Moon Harbour starlets and all round good uns' Luna City Express to give it a rub-down in the form of their 'Lovely Luna People' remix. Starting with hints of the original melody and vocal line, it then drops into a deep rolling b-line, giving it a nice chuggy feel before slowly raking up the tension with an intense, twisting synth line. Flip for the original mix. Typically SCSI-9 in feel, it just grooves along in a melancholy way with subtle melodies and the vocal line which gives the track its title. Finally, we asked the provider of our last release, Pawas, if he could do the remix honors. Staying much truer to the feel of the original track, he sets about giving it a subtler feel with a funked-up clave to provide the all-important groove before dropping into a synth-laden break."

"Linking the original tracks from German duo DadaBleep on our sister label Fear of Flying Ltd as much as we did, we thought it'd be just supa' to get some deeper re-rubs on our main label. SO BEHOLD! Connassieur superstars Plasmik take Ghipwe on an epic journey complete with warm pads and an old skool sounding high string line. We like MUCHLY! Next up, we enlisted the help of one the hardest working producers around at the moment, Andomatt 3000. He injects a great big dose of fun into his take on 'Ghipwe' -- bouncy, groovy and almost techno like -- what parts of the original does he use? We didn't ask but who really cares when the beats are this good, eh? We called upon the emerging talents of our very own Tim Gregor next for a rmx of 'Enter the Echo,' taking a more traditional tech-house route with a subtle vibe that just grooves along on its deep deep bass. We're confident you lot are gonna be hearing Tim crop up quite a lot next year, following in the footsteps of his better known brother, Mark Henning."

Artist:	LEIF
Title:	A Place For Everything and Everything In Its Place
Label:	FEAR OF FLYING (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FOF 008EP

"Welsh wunderkid Leif returns to Fear of Flying after his much played Commonplace EP from last year with another beautifully paced EP of super sweet minimal house music. 'Squally Showers' kicks proceedings off with solid house kicks before dropping into a beautiful, melancholy melody which gives the track its main hook. Dutch good 'uns Polder kindly give 'Squally Showers' a bit of a tech-house dust down, giving it more drive and keeping the groove more constant to ratchet to up to PEAK TIME level. We think you'll be hearing this quite a bit. Flip the script for 'OHNH,' a track Steve Bug says is 'right up my road.' We're talking fine minimal house beats, we're talking warm grooves, we're talking -- well, enough talking, just listen. And finally 'Everywhere I Go I Meet Myself' -- smooth deep beats, wrapped b-lines and some Gregorian chanting -- what else could you need? We may be biased, but we reckon this is Leif's best yet -- suck it and see."

Title:	Mazo EP
Label:	FEAR OF FLYING (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FOF 010EP

"Fear of Flying celebrate their tenth release with the mystically charged Mazo EP from Pawas being supported by Lee Burridge, Laurent Garnier, Audiofly, Ewan Pearson, Peace Division. Mazo EP is spontaneous, groovy and exotic. A package that dips in toes in diversity, flirting with an assortment of influences and marking the ability of Pawas as an artist. The title track 'Mazo' has already been luring the attention of the big names, rattling out a kaleidoscope of drums. 'Disorder' is soothing and graceful, painting a landscape of dreamy sound. 'Mac Dub' skips into rapturous percussion, echoing elements of the mid '90s deep house sound while finding fresh feet and the closing 'New Bed' plunges deeper into dark, atmospheric territory."

Artist:	BLM & PAWAS
Title:	Online EP
Label:	FEAR OF FLYING (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FOF 011EP

"BLM aka Ben Micklewright is co-founder of Fear of Flying, a label that has been gaining momentum and support in all the right places. Pawas delivered the previous release for Fear of Flying, and this is his third for the label. Indian-born and musically bred, he offers an exotic element to the current dancefloor sound. This release is already being supported by Luciano, M.A.N.D.Y., Raresh and Groove Armada, a testament to its wide appeal. The Online EP is a product of the digital age, built through a purely online exchange of the parts, culminating in a package of deep house treats. Featuring the vocals of Lois Winstone (daughter of world-renowned actor Ray Winstone, actor in her own right and singer in various UK cult bands), her voice whispers through 'Down Down,' a track oozing mystique and allure. Made up of three deliciously warm tracks, 'Online,' 'Down Down' and 'Cooper,' the 11th release for Fear of Flying mark it as a label pushing forward quality music and mapping out its own style. As the boundaries of deep house and techno are swinging, eyes are on Fear of Flying as they continue to deliver fresh sounds from talented artists across the globe."

Artist:	SANASOL
Title:	Tambourine Man
Label:	FEAR OF FLYING (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FOF 017EP

"Our latest installment features possibly our biggest release yet. Some of you may well be familiar with Sanasol - 'Tambourine Man,' seeing as it's been quite a tune with some of you already this year, but for those who don't, you really are in for a house-based treat. Initially released in 1997, 'Tambourine Man' was a sleeper hit of its day. Picked up by some discerning DJ types again in recent times, the track has seen heavy rotation in some major clubs already. Quite an innocuous sounding track on first, home listening inspection, the magic really starts to shine through once some serious VOLUME is introduced. Try it - you might well like it. Of course, no 1997 re-release would be complete without the obligatory updated remixes, so here they are - a pacey teched up reworking by NoiDoi and a moodier, but no less groovier version by the excellent Mihai Popoviciu."

Title:	Step To This
Label:	FEAR OF FLYING (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FOF 019EP

"BLM releases on home soil on his own FOF label. 'Garage is Back' keeps things silky smooth -- simplicity is the key here, the percussive elements building slowly before the evocative vocal of 'Suz' brings a hypnotic sexiness to the whole affair. 'Step to This' is the logical progression from his last FOF release (Believe In Love) with its skippy beats and uplifting stabs being a sure winner for the coming summer. Mulletover promoter/DJ/all-around sexual dynamo Geddes provides a rather splendid dub remix of 'Garage is Back' on the flip. Cleverly using key elements of the original to keep the flava' but dipping the tempo to give it more of a groove based feel. We think it's a high watermark for the man - check it! Finally -- we have 'Priority Remix' which started life as a straight up remix to our Leif -- Priority EP. Liking it as much as he did, BLM asked Leif if he could take it as his own track and now you lucky people have the chance to listen to the results."

Artist:	ABOVE SMOKE
Title:	The Damned
Label:	FEAR OF FLYING (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FOFRED 006EP

"Think of deep house and it isn't all that often that one casts their attention on Spain, a country more famous for its hedonistic forays into the tougher side of dance music, but all that started to change a few years back when Above Smoke (or Javier to his Mum) and brother Jose aka Dubbyman set up the rather superb Deep Explorer music (label of the month in Resident Advisor). Impressed as we were, we asked Javier to provide a demo for us. Beautiful musical and musically deep, we're really quite chuffed to be able to present these 3 tracks on our very limited vinyl only label. 'The Damned' smoulders with a seductive old piano sample and classic deep house drums. 'Upset' will probably be viewed as the more accessible of the 3, with a punchy kick, but still retains a sense of emotion with beautiful pads. And finally, 'Jazzt Me' rounds things off with it's broken beats and heavy atmospherics." On red-colored vinyl.
