Title:	Real People EP
Label:	MINERAL MUSIC (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MNL 002EP

"While most producers are trying to figure how to emulate the sounds of others, Kenneth James Gibson always stays 12 steps ahead of the pack. And on this release, the 2nd installment on up-and-coming label, Mineral, the same holds true. [a]pendics.shuffle's unique blend of sly jacky beats, funked up basslines, and vocal trickery transcend easy definition. 'Real People' (the album's title track), and 'Upside Down' both take you there live and direct, without hesitation. These cuts are straight up underground hits. Bottom line. Ozy's remix of 'Real People' extends the vocals and freaks the bassline, while putting a slightly darker twist on the original."

Title:	Versus EP
Label:	MINERAL MUSIC (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MNL 003EP

"Decibel, founder of the label Mineral, breaks out with his first EP, Versus, in which he goes head to head with two of his closest mates Jerga (A.Turquesa), co-founder and 1/2 of Mineral, and Daniel Chavez (B. Fantasy vs. Reality), of Automat Records. On side A, 'Turquesa' takes you on a journey through percussive soundscapes that are broken and funky, but stay driven as if they were straight up 4 on the floor. The remix of 'Turquesa' is brought to you by none other than Pier Bucci, who demonstrates how a true remix should be done by using the framework of the original and transforming it into a funky masterpiece. Producers, grab your pencils and paper and take notes on this one as Bucci takes you to school!! On side B, 'Fantasy vs. Reality' lays down a jacky kick with snares and hi-hats that slap you around like a bully on the playground at recess!! Also laced with mystery samples that poke fun at the state of politics in the world today. This time, the remixing duties are handled by the untouchable, Jay Haze who, like King Midas, seems to turn everything he touches into gold. The underlying melody serves as the backbone for this re-interpretation of the original."

Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MNL 004EP

"Featuring: Papa Sang Bass, Daniel Chavez, The Architect ft. Big Bully and Le K. Papa Sang Bass (aka Konstantin Gabbro of Orac/Adjunct fame) shows us his own brand of computer funk with the laid back groovy track 'Just Messin.' A perfect example of what summertime should sound like. Daniel Chavez gives us a glimpse of his roots with 'Glitch That Bitch.' A beautiful blend of percussive and quirky acid bass lines and bleeps. The Architect ft. Big Bully comes at us with 'High On Speed,' a summertime banger that gives a new meaning to funk, as it swings, sways and commands the legions to get the fuck up and dance!! The somewhat mysterious Big Bully provides some of the illest vocals on the scene today, while The Architect chops, dices and serves up suckas like an Iron Chef. Le K is a name guaranteed to be heard A LOT in the near future! On this track, 'This Is K,' he holds nothing back and gives you a mixed blend of everything funky you've ever heard from every style."
