Illusion EP Javi Javi self-released (Not on label) - JAVI001

Javi, a Spanish producer based in London, has predominantly kept his work under wraps bar a digital self-release and a few dub plates sporadically hand-distributed to a select few friends. His first physical release takes the form of a biopic in sound, encapsulating the past decade he spent in London across four distinct tracks.

Side A opens with Medway to Old Ford, inspired by early 2000s tech-house; the rhythm and bass set the mood for a solid warm-up. Followed up with Eyelash (Electro Mix), a versatile DJ tool combining breakbeat and electro with a cheeky twist. On the flip side, Future Drive is a bouncy number with swirling arpeggiated melodies and a deep, pulsating bass. The EP closes with Shifting Reality, an Italo-disco tune with melancholic harmonies that pays homage to the early electronic scene of Valencia, Spain.

New Fair Deal is back with its second release featuring Girlcop, a Miami based artist with roots in noise, punk, and dance music who has been been fast at work creating a manifesto of electronic beats for freaks. 'Cold Sweat' offers more bang for your buck with 5 tracks that will turn any dance floor into a steam room plus a bonus downtempo electro number straight from the void. Jack beats for sweaty feet, acid lines for twisted minds, and plenty of drum workouts to shake a$$. This is Chicago-inspired house music deep fried for the modern pookie head.
Benge is the influential electronica artist who launched the Expanding Records label in 1995. Polyrythmic Electronica is one of the underrated gems from Benge's discography, opening the series of re-issues from digital to vinyl on the new System Of Objects imprint.Now a little bit about this release from Benge himself:"I made this extended player back in 1997, when my studio was still in the living room of my first house. The tracks were made on my fledgeling electronic studio using a combination of Roland 808 drum machine and Moog Modular IIIC synthesiser, an Akai S950 sampler and my trusty Atari sequencer, plus a bit of Lexicon LXP1 and Quadraverb for good measure. The idea I had back then was to use traditional electro-music equipment and compositional tropes, but to try and twist them into unconventional and hopefully interesting new territories. It was something I continued to explore over my following albums, most of which eschewed conventional 4-4 beats and rhythms.As a side note, "Polyrythmic Electronica" was spelt wrong on the original release, due to a typo on the artwork that went unnoticed until after its release, and we decided to honour that original error on this new reissue, as one more enjoyable glitch in the system, something I have always happily embraced"
