**Ten tracks tracing the "sound of Gospel through the Disco and Boogie eras" courtesy of The Clark Sisters, Sharon Johnson, Dan Greer, Ricky Womack, Elbernita 'Twinkie' Clark, Kristle, The Young Delegation… Double vinyl in gatefold jacket** "Gospel music has often followed the prominent trends in secular music, probably in the hope of widening its audience by giving the subject matter a sprinkling of cool. In the 60s it happened with R&B and then funk-flavoured gospel, the 70s brought sweet soul crossovers, and by 1975 the sounds of early disco had started to… Read more

**Blue Translucent Vinyl - Ships Friday** Lean, atmospheric tech-steppers from the master of his sound. 'Polemic' twysts out a moody 303 sequence with low-riding subs and pointillist hi-hats to guide your flex. 'Oracle' tilts forward with almost Mala-styled halfstep drum programming and sparingly used dub chords at fine slow/fast 'step.

Oosh; a proper glam garage trident from the Sic Alps straight to your pop heart. 'She's On Top' is an almost giddy high of jaunty riffage, perfectly recorded percussion and sexed-up vocals beamed direct from the '70s; B-side 'Carrie Jean' works stalking bassline and unpredictable, angular riffs with a noirish vibe and stomping drums; 'Biz Bag' shovels coal in the engine and cuts loose with inimitably-timed stop-start sputter.

After well received editions for Mister Saturday Night Records and Well Rounded Individuals, New York's jazz/house/'tronica trio have coined their own label to issue these four groovers. Coming off like Falty DL's music school cousins, their 'Sly Gazebo' EP blends richly layered instrumentation with limber house grooves , taking in the almost Reichian freshness of 'Avocado Roller' featuring Becca Stevens and the bustling shuffler 'In The Room' on the A-side, backed with an extended, jazz-wise electro-stepper titled 'Sly Gazebo' and the nimble neo-classical meets IDM arrangement of 'Nancy's Library' feat. 5150 Sound on the flip.

**Edition of 250 copies with insert** Acutely contrasting split from two noisy and gothic coldwave sirens. Vancouver, Canada's //Zoo gives four cuts of her self-described "Fu*k Music", a brace of black metal guitar atmospheres, emaciated drums and gothic croon at times recalling Zola Jesus and at her best in the HTRK-like 'Softcore'. Flipside is Petra Schelm's turn. The solo project of Funerals' Mollie Wells from Columbus, Ohio, who takes inspiration from the Baader-Meinhof Group in four slightly cheesy crooners...

Delta Funktionen returns to Delsin for the first time since last year’s Traces LP, supported with a remix from the increasingly ubiquitous Karenn. A side ‘Sun Storm’ is solid DJ gear attempting to reconcile the intimate, sweaty basement jack of Larry H’s ‘Washing Machine’ with big-room techno dynamics, while the other Delta original, ‘Challenger’, is moody, night-drive-thru-atlantis electro that nods to Drexciya’s Grava 4. Blawan and Pariah do their Karenn thing on ‘Onkalo’, a properly rough-and-tumble, heavy-industry techno banger that can’t really be argued with - it’s at once their grottiest, most degraded production to date, and the hardest-hitting.

**CD and Vinyl contain different track listing - Includes digital download code redeemable from the label** LA mainstay Eddie Ruscha makes blissful disco psychedelia with his esteemed pals for RVNG Intl on 'Tactile Galactics'. As a former shoegazer and core member of Medicine - the first American band signed to Creation - he's certainly got a way with melody, but his focus has long since shifted from moody rock to intergalactic dance music, bringing him into contact with the likes of Rub n' Tug's Thomas Bullock as Laughing Light Of Plenty and again with Ariel Pink's Huanted Graffiti… Read more

Earl Jeffers, aka Chesus now and again, thumps out two disco-sampling garage jaunts for Catapult Records. 'The Goose' builds anticipation with belting diva vocal and tense strings precipitating thumping Jersey kicks and fruity synth strokes filtered for fun. 'Let It Out' plays deeper with classic sample woven into sub-heavy swingers rhythm.

**Sides A+B - Vocals in English. Sides C+D - Vocals in Arabic. Limited Gatefold pressing* "Taking almost two years to create amidst an unusual and challenging backdrop, this is the brand new project of Alvarius B. (Alan Bishop of Sun City Girls). Eleven highly crafted new songs projected through his typically dark lens of songwriting and a band of brilliant musicians from Cairo, the premier, self-titled CD version of this album is the English language vocals edition (see below) delivered in AB's patented sinister style; drenched in lovely psychedelic folk arrangements and voc… Read more

Epic acid house and chugging soul tribalism from Cottam. 'A Long Walk' stretches out with plush string loops on a heavily swung acid bass rising to tantric cresendo. 'The Other World' wields choppy guitar licks and galloping bass with an funky Afrobeat swagger.

DJ Qu seduces with four glorious new constructions including vocals from none other than Peven Everett, all reserved for his Strength Music imprint. With the lushest intent, 'The Way' pairs soul-burning vocal from Everett and Josh "Blaze" Milan (yep, that one) to sweep the 'floor off its feet, folowed up with a 2nd part with chords and latinized elements somehow reminding of vintage 4 Hero hardcore but settling into deepest house tackle. B-side his 'Liquid' soars off like some astral Derrick May classic, all winged synthlines and tightest Afro-latin shuffle, further explored with the irresistibly and darkly tinted 'Liquid Beats'. Very sophisticated stuff, tipped!

**Double LP in heavy gatefold sleeve plus inners - Includes MP3 and Flac download code redeemable from the label**

Photek bowls out the weighty halfstep rollige of 'Shape Change' backed with Mr Beatnick's dreamy re-swagger. The original album track 'Shape Change' harks back to Photek's mid-period Special Forces rollers and reminds of Amit's recent workouts. Mr. Beatnick's remix of 'Pyramid' is tweaked slow and low with wide-swinging, squashed deep house rhythms and a chewy, knotted acid line laced to fragrant Sitar licks for exotic pressure.
