don't have any idea who is behind the green release , but reminds
me a lot of steve bicknell
as it is are a distribution company run by mark and josh (aka
shatrax) , they operate out of the isle of wight (uk) and have
about 15 labels under their wings..shatrax,primitive urges,blue
print , blue spirit , void , cheap knob gags , solid groove , abstrakt
dance , 4th wave , alien funk movement , texture , fracture..
,as i have stated many times before they are pumping out the
best underground deep/techno /house in the uk, recommended
current releases are..
Green - ep (Green *1)
5 tracks of deep minimal techno , imagine the rhythmical drive of
Jeff Mills 'purpose maker' crossed with the pure experimental
minimalism of Robert Hood/Steve Bicknell
Aubrey presents - ep (Solid Groove *6)
Stinging 4 trax of deep devasting techno, onna multi styled detroit tip,
from soulful 'Red Planet' groovers to pumped up hi tech jazz ala Dan
Curtin , this is a killer ep.
Aubrey & Ambrose - Texture Volume 1 (Texture*1)
Solid Groove offshoot , beautiful deep techno/house , sorta Larry Heard
meets Global Communication's 'NY Connection'. exquisite.
Darkstar - Afroplan 12" (Abstrakt Dance *3)
Produced by Colin Dale's brother - Trevor , he sure turns up the funk o
meter on this one , 4 tracks of surging hi-hat driven detroit techno
to rival Mike Banks ' Red Planet' series.chock fulla - soul.
Paul Mac - Outerspace Obsession (Fracture*1)
Very diverse collection of intergalactic planetary funk , 2 deep jazzy
techno cuts and 2 lovely breakbeat fueled atmospheric stunners that Carl
Craig would be proud of.
Echo Motif - Arizona Falls (Mosaic*2)
3 tracker with 2 of the cuts going for the Shatrax deep groove attack,
whilst flip is onna 'Plaid' style polyrhytmical downtempo tip with cool
strings.

>the first Artificial Intelligence comp, but I am not sure about the rest.
err..i have the test press as well (not that i'm being smug about it!) but
the tracks are metropolis/obsessed/fear of expression/telefone 529
b12 are rarely discussed on this list and imho along with black dog
are the finest british purveyors of 'pure electronica' , the worst move
they
made was signing to warp!, listen to their ' prelude' cd (b1209) to vastly
enhance yer musical diet...

the 'auto hangable''s were limited to 500 each , wasn't the remix of
'curve' white label only?

his stuff..this time he was not insured, last i heard he was*(allegedly)*
caught on a supermarket close circuit camera* (allegedly)* trying to rob
the place..fate deals some cruel blows....
