Delsin is really keeping us and you busy again. Since last mailing, they
have 2 new releases. First off is UK talent Dimension 5 bringing us another
3
unreleased tracks on his Dark City EP, which ranges from nice & deep techno
that reminds a little of Insync & BlackDog and all that other superb
UK techno from years back. Also just out is the OPtic Nerve album, which is
Keith Tucker from Detroit as most of you will know. 10 tracks of classic
sounding Detroit techno & electro. Not much changed in the last decade, but
still very pleasing to listen to. Keith and crew weer also headlining the
much talked about DEMF festival! Feedback, anyone?
Upcoming:
[31DSR/PSM5] PEEL SEAMUS "ARTEMIS"
[33DSR/MOS1] M>O>S feat AROY DEE "ELECTRONIC MUSIC CREATED IN ORDINAIRY
BEDROOMS AND OTHER HOUSEHOLD SPACES"
Just before label boss Peel Seamus is off to Ibiza he will bring 2 more
releases in June. One by himself & one by the M>O>S collective, who made a
new for themselves with releases Rush Hour Recordings. Delsin will be back
after the summer with a beautiful designed 2nd label compilation CD.
Stay tuned.

EMOTICON:
Out now:
[EMOT 008] SCAPE ONE "FUZZY SODA EP"
Emoticon hits back with US south coast based producer Kurt Baggaley aka
Scape One. He made name for himself with recordings for labels as Mass
Transit, World Electric, Satamile & Electrix. Fuzzy Soda shows both his warm
& funky as well as his darker, funky electro side. All tracks come with
a twisted, experimental touch, which makes it perect as an Emoticon release.
Upcoming:
[EMOT 009] JEFF SAMUEL "NEW AGE MOLD EP"
[EMOT 010] CONNECTIVE ZONE "QWERTY EP"
Also Emoticon will still drop two 12"'s before the summer kicks (June) in
and makes it to their first 10 releases. Congratulations! After the summer
there
will be more 12"s off course, Russ Gabriel & Klash Productions both have
delivered tracks, and the first label compilation will also become reality
soon.
www.emoticonrecordings.com
HUM HUM:
Out now:
[HUM HUM 002] REDNOSE DISTRIKT "HOOR'S"
3 Months after the first was released, we can easily say that
Rednosedistrikt will be one of the most hyped up bands over the years to
come. The first
release did very well & is still doing so, it immediately grabbed the
attention of people like Jazzanova, Domu, Gilles Peterson etc. This tells
you little in
which direction the music is they produce. It's got something to do with
jazz for sure..but there shit has the most roughest sound/beats to it,
you've
never heard before. Hip hop mentality in a big way. Now with the 2nd one
out, this seem to be even going bigger than the first, for all that haven't
heard it yet: Hoor's (Listen up!).
Upcoming:
"MAKE A MOVE" is a track that has been recorded with Alma Horten when she
was in Amsterdam. This will be released on a label called Kindred Spirits.
We've got DJ Spinna a the remix job. Word has it that Domu is remixing a
track as well. "NY BOOM" will be out soon as well on Rush Hour.
HUM HUM CONTEST: WIN more WIN more WIN more:
We're giving away 5 copies of the HUM HUM 002. Give us the right answers to
the following question:
What does "Hoor's" mean (in English) ... Get your dictionairy ready.
We can tell you that this is what you need to their music...
MUSIC FOR SPEAKERS:
Out now:
[M4S 13EP] ROOMTONE "MUSIC AGAINST PEOPLE
[M4S 14EP] RELAXO ABSTRACTO "INFLATABLE SCREAM
[M4S 15EP] SONAR LODGE "INTERIOR BACKGROUNDS"
Music For Speakers is back on track with three releases in one. And boy, do
they showcase some talent here! First up is Roomtone from lovely Den Bosch,
he is a guitarist/tabla-ist & what-not-ist. This is his first EP, which is
produced by Sandor Caron & Aardvarck. This brings out contemporary jazz
structures
& avantgarde beats, one for the headz for sure. It's also Sandor Caron &
Aardvarck that team up with David Caron to form Relaxo Abstracto to deliver
a
very fine 3 track EP, to define new structures in (off) beats (remember
their best selling remix of Zwepg Typis by Sandor Caron on Delsin). Finally
Sonar
Lodge further explores in their self invented Trip Noir sound, best
described as dark, organic jazz rhythms and electronic moods or just as
"Music For
Speakers". This one is their best output to date, we think.
Upcoming:
[M4S 16CD] V/A "COMPILATION 2"
After the summer the collective will be hitting back with their 2nd
compilation CD, featuring (unreleased) tracks by present M4S artists as well
as some new artists, most notably
Harco Pront, who sounds like the eclectism of Beck, mixed in with the soul
of D'Angelo and a little Aphex Twin or Aardvarck programming (for real!).
For those who think they have missed [M4S 12EP], do not worry it
downloadable from their website for free and is fittingly called "Kado".
Just check:
www.musicforspeakers.com
RUSH HOUR RECORDINGS:
Out now:
[RH 006] M>O>S feat AROY DEE "UTILITIES #2"
[RH 007] ROY CORDU "PARCE-QUE JE REVE JE NE LE SUIS PAS PT1"
[RH 010] DOUBLE HELIX "FUNXTILES EP"
[RH ABS001] ABICAH SOUL PROJECT feat. GLENN UNDERGROUND "CHUCKIE'S TURN"
As promised RH recording busy release schedule is becoming reality now. Four
releases currently out. From the classic Chicago house & Detroit techno
sound of M>O>S, which makes you want to timemachine you back to the early
days when you hear it. To the more electronical sound of debuting Roy
Cordu, who starts out to sound as the Amsterdam version of Boards of Canada
if you will, only his sound and his range of tracks show more diversity,
even pleasing some of the jazz headz. Double Helix hails from Detroit and
was pointed out to us by his buddy Recloose. Thank you for that, cause this
3 tracker is just awesome Detroit (deeper) house and great downtempo beats,
one of these track was already featured on last years' Planet E compilation
ALL ACCES, the DEMF soundtrack. Currently out on limited one side promo is
the Abicah Soul aka Stax from Detroit, this deep organ soloed house piece
in a Body & Soul vein has received great feedback from people like Larry
Heard, Frankie Feliciano, DJ Deep, Yannick, Osunlade, Alexi Delano, Terry
Hunter
and many more. Will be fully available after the summer.
Upcoming:
[RH 009] REDNOSE DISTRIKT "NYC Boom"
Hopefully out before the summer also, some ass kicking jazz beats by this
hot-nose collective! Meikbar's much praised house debut "Feelings" will get
a
proper release soon with a b-side called "Sunshine". It is also Meikbar that
has teamed up with Recloose while he was in Amsterdam and have recorded
a track for RH label, some "I-jez-fah-ted" funk for y'all. Alos Titonton
Duvante & Volcov vs Paradox have confirmed releases for the label...

VARIOUS SHORTEEZ:
DEEPART is getting ready to release another classic EP from Terry Brookes,
this producer is certainly aiming for best electronic/techno producer of
2002.
Unbelievable good record!! Props to Andy Deepart for picking up on this
talent! He also has his man from Miami ready to record Ricochet for [DEEP
008].
DOWN LOW hits back in June with their 7th release already! This time Dutch
based The Moderator is taking production credits. Limited orange copies
will be available!
INTERPERSONAL EXPERIENCE tests have just hit RH offices and are pleasing us
very much. Steve Rachmad aka Sterac is hitting us with some futuristic
flavoured electro as well as a rework of a classic 80's electro track.."(Bad
Times) I Can't Stand It". Nice one Steve!
OMOAMUSIC is working hard to put out their third release before the
summer.Szymanski is Taking care of the production.he did the Marc Alphonse
track on the sampler. Word has it that this will be another genre-breaking
release from Omoamusic! You are warned...
UNEXPECTED is the best selling jaz/beat project from young Amsterdam talent
Perquisite, his first one went sky high. Right he's recording the 2nd one
in collaboration with David Kweksilber (New Cool Collective) & Bart Suèr
(Sfeq-3000), 2 Dutch jazz musicians. Will be out after the summer.
Thanks for listening.
