New Releases for September 2007
DEEP MEDI MUSIK (UK)

KROMESTAR
Title:
Marz Attak/Rainy Dayz
Label:
DEEP MEDI MUSIK (UK)
Format:
12"
Price:
$11.00
Catalog #:
MEDI 006EP
"Two new highly-anticipated Kromestar tracks on Mala's legendary Deep Medi Musik label. Kromestar delivers two cuts of subbed-out, minimal business. As always with the Deep Medi label, only the highest standard will do!"
DESTIJL
Artist:
YONKERS, MICHAEL
Title:
Grimwood
Label:
DESTIJL
Format:
CD
Price:
$13.00
Catalog #:
DESTIJL 056CD
"When considering
Grimwood
, it'd be a mistake to not also give thought to
Microminature Love
. Recorded in '68 for Sire, MML languished unreleased until the spring of 2002, when we unearthed it swank on wax (later reissued as a Sub Pop CD). Called the greatest psych record of the '60s by more than a few, it's no stretch to say that had it materialized, it would've altered the lay of the land. Tho for various reasons still unclear, the deal fell apart and the band split. Perhaps this was the first in a seemingly endless series of cruel blows for Yonkers. He retreated, and recorded
Grimwood
. As is said all too often about all too many recs, this is intensely private music. While not immediately recognizable as possessing the radical visionary qualities as MML, there is nevertheless a miracle at work. Usually there is a distance between singer/song. Here the distance is completely revoked. There is an immediate, definite coinciding between Yonkers and his
Grimwood
. Yonkers suffered a debilitating back injury in a warehouse accident in '71 when a half-ton of scrap metal fell on him. He had strong allergic reactions to a chemical that was injected into his spinal cord in '73,and he almost gave up the ghost. That caused a serious, life long condition called adhesive arachnoiditis. For awhile he retired from music. Tho recorded in '69, Yonkers privately released
Grimwood
in '74, along with 3 other recs:
Goodby Sunball
(recorded in '71), Michael Lee Yonkers ('72) and a duo with Jim Woehrle ('73), borders of my mind. If they sold at all, they sold horribly. There is a photo inside Sub Pop's MML CD of Yonkers throwing copies of
Grimwood
up in the air, as they'd seemingly become disposable, as well as a heavy burden to lug around. Enterprising rec collectors have had a run on
Grimwood
for some time and it's been impossible to affordably obtain. So here it is, remastered, digitized and priced for the people."
DIAL (GERMANY)
Artist:
LAWRENCE
Title:
Pond
Label:
DIAL (GERMANY)
Format:
12"
Price:
$10.00
Catalog #:
DIAL 037EP
Lawrence
aka
Sten
presents some deep and dirty house tracks that are built for dance. The lightful wooden sound-starter "Compulsion" features a super-low, crunchy bassline that fills the minimal, chord-ish track. The similarly-structured "Pond" can be regarded as the essence of the new Lawrence universe. Finally, "Laid One" is a simple homage to the first days of Chicago house -- a track for the Box.
DIGITALIS
Artist:
CODY, TURNER
Title:
Buds of May
Label:
DIGITALIS
Format:
CD
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
ACE 001CD
"Taking influence from the world of classic singer songwriters, from Bob Dylan to Townes Van Zandt with maybe a little of Will Oldham thrown in for good measure, Cody proceeds over the course of the epic
Buds of May
to vocalize his own views on life. He is firstly a storyteller, and in a world where mainstream lyrical content is more banal than it has ever been, Cody comes as a breath of fresh air. Simply produced with guitar and bass underpinning the tracks, it is Cody's distinctive singing voice which carries each piece as he creates distinctive melodies that stay with you for some time after the record has reached a close. Right now with artists such as Jose Gonzales haunting the mainstream airwaves, it seems almost impossible not to stumble across new singer-songwriters whenever you flick through the racks of a high street store, but what Turner Cody offers is a unique voice in a crowd of copyists. Cody is at once cynical and hopeful and should offer an antidote to a tired, apathetic world. Unforgettable music."
DIRT CREW (GERMANY)
Artist:
DIRT CREW
Title:
Places/Deep (We Are) Remixes
Label:
DIRT CREW (GERMANY)
Format:
12"
Price:
$10.00
Catalog #:
DIRT 017EP
Monster
Francois Dubois
remix, and yes, Francois is also known as
Funk D'Void
. Following their full-length, this is the hot remix single with three smashing deep cuts. First up is Berlin-based BPitch Control artist,
Smash TV
aka
Holger Zilske
, who delivers a mad electro interpretation. The B-side is by Mr. Dubois himself with tons of funk and deep swelling basslines. A class house record that will go down with the true deep house crowd.
Artist:
DIRT CREW
Title:
Coming For You/Big Bad City
Label:
DIRT CREW (GERMANY)
Format:
12"
Price:
$10.00
Catalog #:
DIRT 018EP
This is the second single from
Dirt Crew
's full-length. The Crew goes deep into the old school again with "Coming For You" -- experience the power of jacking bass and rough beats. The "Big Bad City" is another step towards darkness and warm, minimalistic deep house: a great combination of percussion and deep organs make this track a special afterhours tune for sweaty raves.
Artist:
TIGERSKIN
Title:
Push The Patton
Label:
DIRT CREW (GERMANY)
Format:
12"
Price:
$10.00
Catalog #:
DIRT 019EP
Tigerskin
is back on Dirt Crew Recordings with a minimal smasher. "Push the Patton" is another outstanding track by
Alex Krueger
with his typical phat production and great building arrangement. Also, "As We Are" shows Tigerskin heading into the techier side of things with its cool vocal sample. "The Meadow" is a beautiful house cut and sounds very similar to his other great output as
Dub Taylor
. For afterhours or peaktime, this new Tigerskin release will do the job for sure.
DIRTYBIRD
Artist:
CATZ 'N DOGZ
Title:
Fixation/A Chicken Affair
Label:
DIRTYBIRD
Format:
12"
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
DBIRD 013EP
"3 Channels, the two prolific minimal producers from Poland who turned in one of the very best remixes of 'Who's Afraid of Detroit?' last year, return to Dirtybird with a new alias called Catz 'n Dogz. This duo is really delivering some great music that harkens back to the old days of house music when people had fun and parties were all about different kinds of music and not sticking to one genre. Check it."

DISTRICT OF CORRUPTION (GERMANY)
Artist:
GRUMMICH, PETER
Title:
Therapy EP
Label:
DISTRICT OF CORRUPTION (GERMANY)
Format:
12"
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
DOC 018EP
"Peter has already graced numerous labels with his unique yet constantly evolving studio style. After numerous afterhour situations with the DoC family, we caught wind of Grummich's new productions. We believe that the
Therapy
EP continues the development of Peter's uncompromising underground productions. The title track, 'Therapy' is a nine-minute journey into dancefloor dynamics. Slowly building with concentrated breaks, 'Therapy' works it out and then some. Minimal, sexy and sleek, but at 7 minutes, the listener is surprised with a full on new-rave lead which takes the song in a different direction. 'Get It' is a nice tech-house track with building percussive patterns and highly concentrated synth breakdowns. This track is only for the most sophisticated house DJs that know when to drop a track like this. 'Drymilk' is a seriously twisted hard minimal track. Nasty sound effects and perplexing pitch shifts will keep you guessing."
