"Brooklyn duo Pearl Necklace (Bryce Hackford & Frank Lyon) share a fascination with text -- with language, sound, meaning & with forms of communication. Soft Opening is a subtle but distinct dissemination of all of that, wherein all we think we know is revealed to be, in fact, quite alien. Pearl Necklace define their SoundWorld by an open--minded approach to sampling, using source material of various fidelities -- field recordings, Library records, dusted disco cuts, etc., & live, primarily synth--based instrumentation, plus definitive use of an MPC1000 sampler. Features contributions from Smalltown alumnus, ARP."

"Let's get this out of the way 1st -- Carmen Villain used to be a very successful model. Her face has appeared on the covers of Vogue & Nylon, & high profile cosmetic ad campaigns. It turns out Carmen Hillestad (Carmen Villain) has been a spy in the house of fashion. Behind the scenes, she was channeling her frustrations into a set of songs with a defiantly DIY underground free-rock sound. Now at last, she's stepping off the glossy page & emerging as a major new songwriting voice & multi-instrumentalist. Behind the angelic face lurks a villain. With acid in her airbrush, she reminds us of This Heat, Bikini Kill, Sonic Youth, and Royal Trux."

"1st single from Carmen Villain's Sleeper (with remix by Prins Thomas on the flip). Villain draws on a lineage of sprawling, taboo-busting lo-fi rock: Sonic Youth, Royal Trux, Broadcast, Bikini Kill & The Stooges, while she equally admires the cut 'n' paste productions of J Dilla, Wu-Tang Clan & avant garde post-punkers This Heat."

"Tempest, the band's 4th album from Smalltown Supersound was recorded last year in Glasgow with JD Twitch, one half of the iconoclastic Scottish DJ duo Optimo. Tussle worked with Liquid Liquid members on the album - they sent Dennis Young rough mixes of a few tracks and he overdubbed his parts from his New Jersey studio. The first track, 'Yume No Mori' contacts a vocal sample from Sal Principato. The experimental interludes and drum solos of past releases are absent. Instead, Tempest charges forward with a deeper, more structured sprawl."

Mungodelics musically summons everything that is hazy, dazy, underearthly and crazy. Features collaborations with Jaga Jazzist, Athana, and Unni Wilhelmsen."

"In a world in which trance DJs with names like Ferry, Armin & Tiesto plead for votes in the DJ Mag Top 100, it's nice to know there are other, stranger, galaxies circling the one in which we live - namely, that of the Idjut Boys - Daniel (Tyler) & Conrad (McConnell). Where most are happy to serve up a formulaic & entirely predictable menu to keep the hordes happy, the Idjut Boys play, as Conrad once quipped, 'Whatever we can get away with.' That could include anything from '70s jock metallists Nazareth to Phil Collins interspersed with perhaps some Underground Resistance for light relief, swiftly followed by the Temptations, something which makes their DJ sets non-conformist & brilliant; sometimes floorclearing, but always interesting."

LP version. "The Thing took their name from a piece by Don Cherry: when they first got together it was to play his music. So it does make sense that they should eventually team up with Don Cherry's daughter, Neneh Cherry. Meeting in London in the fall of 2010 to record, it clicked right away as they all shared an open, free approach to the music. The high energy of The Thing's playing found a fitting counterpart in Neneh's intense style. Includes covers of songs from Suicide, Stooges, Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry Martina Topley-Bird & Mf Doom."

Our friend Malcolm, who now plays bass in the Grace Jones band, played bass on it. It's named for our friend, the late Kenny Hawkes.'"

Smalltown Supersound split release with Terje's Olsen Records. "His debut EP is a badly-punned tribute to the Monty Python's It's The Arts. It's an experimental EP entirely based on the multi-faceted abilities of the ARP2600, one of the finest analogue synthesisers ever built. Endearing Monty Python punning? Check. Top synth-nerd action? Check. Illustrator and Norwegian superstar Bendik Kaltenborn did the amazing artwork. It's a thing of beauty."

"With the latest album from dance producer Hans-Peter Lindstrom, Norway's latest entry in the space race has been launched out of the wooded outskirts of Oslo. Six Cups Of Rebel, Lindstrom's fourth solo album (his first to feature vocals), is a super-sized cosmic disco rocket that burns up a galaxy of eclectic influences in its wake, from Bach to Deep Purple, from prog rock and arpeggiator disco to acid house, while sounding sleek and utterly contemporary."

2LP version. "Mungolian Jetset presents their first album of totally original compositions. Rather than delivering another take on the epic entertainments that have become the staple of their reputation, they have now taken more scoops of melody, poptastic whimsy and lighter shades of oddness, to hybridize with their already mutated sound. The result is full of drunken synths, obscure samples of the psychedelic past, bleeping & squeaking, contemporary choirs alongside funky guitars, ethereal landscapes & chipmunked vocals, as well as guest vocals from Dominique Leone & Cartsen Loly. Tunes you can chew your bubblegum to."
