The 18th release on the constantly on point Swamp81 label. This time we have Mickey Pearce delivers a slick dancefloor 12″ with unforgettable vocal samples “you remember I was telling you about progression”, ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Get’ is a firm favourite with all the big DJs at the moment and ‘I am’ continues the industrial steel drum sound palette, and high pitched scream vocal sample to great effect!
Dope upfront 808 bizness from Mike G. This is due out next week on the insanely prolific and always on point Car Crash Setlabel. ‘Throw Back‘ is the one!
Murder in the streets
They heard you calling
The deepest shade of orange
Lifted your face
Welcome the heavens
The night comes as slow as your own perception
There is no race to the end because everything ends
Your move creep
Creep slow, falling low
Slain by the eternal weapon
Sometimes I feel like it’s just us, you and I, me and you
Together as one
Against a giant LED screen projecting your apparition
You will always remain eternal, forever you
Deep within lies the answer to your existence
What would we do if we only knew
Would we destroy ourselves, others
Would we make love with everything and everyone
Could we enjoy every single second
Should we slow down life to a single waking moment
Would we embrace the dark sky above
So massive that nothing escapes
Would we march to our own theme
Stop, don’t think
Cherish your last breath
This is it
Forgotten by history
Your name was never written in the wind
Is that breeze real?
After all, we’re merely projections of the minds eye
A pixelated haze of questions with no answers
An end with no beginning
Are you the creator? The devastating creator?
Murder in the streets

Following their killer ‘Red Mask/Ovale‘ 12″ for Numbers at the tail-end of last year, they return with another great two-track EP, this time for Brighton-based label 877 Records. Judging on the quality of this, they are set to have a strong 2012…Listen below:

This event is guaranteed to be a roadblock so we highly recommend you cop a ticket now, from somewhere like here.
Visionist (92 Points / NTS / 502 / Keysound / Left_Blank / Diskotopia) is one of my favourite producers right now. Check out this new one called Tropics which is being released in January next year as part of a new compilation curated by Diskotopia, Tokyo-based record label run by BD1982 and his crew.
Canadian production duoSibian & Faun breathe new life into one of 2011′s most prevalent musical trends with ‘I’m Sorry‘. Twisted RnB done right. Numbers finishing the year in typically fine form.
R1 Ryders are back with a four track dancefloor smasher, encompassing their unique Funkitek sound. All Nite is the standout track for me on this release. R1 always put the work in on their DJ sets, so if you want to get down and see them live, which we highly recommended, the EP launch party is 20th November at The Nest, Dalston – Free entry all night.
