Description of Various Artists Nang Presents : The Array Vol 1

From the upcoming Array compilation on newcomer disco grovoid label Nang, here they pick 4 of the most vinyl friendly tracks. Things open up with a classic, "Magic Fly" from French, astro-disco pioneers Space. Here in its newly re-mastered fuller form.

Next up is Slovenian based Ichisan and Nakova getting nu disco with their electric bass swingfest "Pionir". Things get really interesting half way through with spy-like picked electric guitar lines.

Things stay Slovenian for "White Russian (Lazy Summer)" from in-demand, one-man-analog-synth-museum Sare Havlicek. Here his guitarist Rob comes all over Barry White for a 80's laden disco funk romper.

Foto (Plastic 'Enzo' Fantastic and Kevin 'DOP' Swain) don their Baleric Disco hat for "No Protection". Cowbell and rolling bass synth underpin, moody pads & Tnisha Johnson's sulty vocal.

Title:	Rapidfirebuzzer EP
Label:	Kaboogie
100% bass heft guaranteed with the latest release from Dublin's !Kaboogie crew, featuring Ed Devane, Mad EP, The Banker and Sarsparilla. Hot off the release off his debut album 'Molten Membrane', Ed Devane brings the noise with the massive 'Playtime', one that's been tested at multiple parties the last few months with awesome results - just wait for the half-time drop! After mashing up the dance for !Kaboogie's club nights, Mad EP's 'Bass Crunchers' is a full booty workout that's sure to see some curious shapes develop on the floor. A master of mashups and bass-heavy programming, Dublin's Banker makes his vinyl debut with 'Badman'. This one's been killing it at parties, if you're wanting to get the place on a half-step skank, pack it. Finally - with two albums under his belt for Alphabet Set - Sarsparilla makes his !Kaboogie debut in style. Previously featured on his 'Karahee' CD, 'The Count' features his signature sharp production over some killer classic electro stylings.

Title:	From John Carpenter
Label:	Nang
Amongst musicians, filmmaker John Carpenter receives admiration, respect and kudos like few others. Aside from the string of great films he has directed (Halloween, Escape From New York, Dark Star to name but a few) he is one of the few directors to compose and record the music for the films he makes. Things open up with Architeqs take on the John Carpenter killer-car thriller theme 'Christine'. The Scotsman using moody analog synth pads, menacing effects and some fine drumming to maximum effect. Next up, Slovenian Sare Havlicek synths-up 'Pork Chop Express' one of the choice tracks from 1986s Big Trouble In Little China. Big pads, big riffs and big oscillators all the way. Belgian King DJ goes for the jugular-catchy lead line of 1981s 'Escape From New York'. The most Italian of producers we know; Bottin, also adds his Italo sheen to proceedings.

Artist:	D-Pulse
Title:	On A Highway To Saturn
Label:	Nang
It's been 18 months since Nang release, D-Pulse's "More". Nestled on that release was an extra EP track called "Highway To Saturn". Much to our delight it turned out to be a bit of a gem. When it featured on the TIRK 02 and Kitsune Ponystep / Jerry Bouthier compilations we knew we were all onto something. (Cue the overdrive and the interstellar vocal.) Slovenian-based, US singer, Hannah Mancini, provides those cosmic vocals, ably recorded by Sare Havlicek in sunny Ljubljan. After a sly re-titling of the track (to avoid confusion with the original the name has been extended to "On A Highway To Saturn") it's on to the obligatory over-the-top Nang remix package...First up is a new version from D-Pulse for those long summer nights. Their "Australian Shore Reversion" mix slows down the groove to a balmy evening by Noosa shores pace. Space-rock, guitar solos, smouldering synths and lazy rhythms all combine to make this one for the beach house. Sare Havlicek adds a couple of mixes of his own. Keeping things hi-energy he goes for the disco jugular with his trademark stabby synths and tight production. Nang newcomers, Proper Heat, strip things back and go for a slow-grooving Baltic-disco chugger. Rounding off the remix package is Japanese based Jan Ken Po (aka Max Essa). He delivers a dance floor friendly version with a big and bold walking bass riff and tasteful synths.

Title:	Bryan G Presents Liquid V Club Sessions Vol 3
Label:	Liquid V
This double CD feast comprises 33 tracks featuring classics like Lemon D's 'I can't Stop', remixed by Zero T. New Brazilian signings; Level 2 and Acuna bring the heat out of Sao Paulo. Liquid V favorites, S.P.Y, Mosus and Kabuki, are joined by new boys, Tayla and Furney. Roni Size makes a guest appearance, showcasing new vocalist, Joe on 'Rolling Stone'. This is vintage Roni, on this cover of a classic Temptations track, reminiscent of when he first came onto the scene, chopping up tunes with a fresh approach. Fellow Bristol native, D Product joins forces with Hollie G who delivers her trademark smooth, yet hard vocals on 'Tell Me How'. Serum and Calibre also make guest appearances. On CD2 you can catch a few gems you might have missed in the full unmixed version, including Calibre's 'Drowning' Kabuki's 'Beyond Words and Mosus & Zero T 'Call Waiting'. CD2 is deeper in the vibe, and there are a couple of down-tempo tracks from the new blood; Eveson, Mosus and S.P.Y mixing up the flavour a little, but still keeping it Liquid. This is not just a collection of tunes; it is a complete album that showcases some of the finest D&B talent, both established and new. The track list is mighty, the compilation as a whole; even mightier.

Title:	Surreal Estate EP
Label:	Frite Nite
Heralding the next wave of underground bass music to fans across the USA and beyond, San Francisco's Frite Nite label - captained by psychedelic bass traveller Salva - has teamed up with rising star beat connoisseur Ana Sia to deliver sounds of the new North American underground on the 'Surreal Estate' compilation. Advancing past the more overcooked styles in US electronic music, Ana Sia has championed big stages and basement clubs with a melting pot of new sounds unique to her and the league of artists featured on this new full-length session. 'Surreal Estate' is a 17 track collection of tribal-influenced spacey dance grooves, progressive footwork, modern electro funk, and UK-centric dubstep rhythms, composed by an anticipated cast of North American producers, carefully selected and mixed by Ana Sia. Exploring the atmospheric and ethereal, yet bass-heavy, funky and playfully musical, the mix shows Ana Sia's passion for music that works as well for the dance floor as it does the intimate listen. This exclusive collection contains bleeding-edge tracks from some of the finest production minds from both American coasts such as Sepalcure, Starkey, XI, Distal, Ghosts On Tape and DJG, as well as Ana Sia's crew taking over the western front with artists like Salva, Eprom, Kuru & UFO!, B.Bravo, NastyNasty and Epcot. 'Surreal Estate' is Frite Nite's first venture into the realm of physical product, and speaks loud to both brand new bass music enthusiasts as well as seasoned ears eagerly anticipating a paradigm shift in underground dance and beat culture

Title:	Quality Street
Label:	Buttercuts
Elijah & Skilliam are the DJ duo on Rinse FM who are hands down setting the pace for all others to follow in the current grime scene. Their show pulls in a huge audience every week, while their blog butterz.co.uk is widely recognised at the go-to place for all the best downloads, interviews and features on the scene's leading players. Elijah & Skilliam have been pivotal in moving the grime sound away from a predominantly MC-driven style, and into deeper areas where the emphasis is as strong on the production as it is on the vocal. In so doing they have helped bring in influences of dubstep, garage and funky, and it is this new hybridised strand of bass genetics which their Butterz label is putting in the spotlight. Their first release earlier this year was the limited and quickly-sold-out 'Bipolar EP' from Terror Danjah, and now the label has hooked up with Cargo for their second outing, bringing together three up and coming artists along with Terror Danjah one time again for a top value pack of four amazing productions. First up is a 2010 reworking of the classic 'Creepy Crawler' by Terror Danjah, 10 times more menacing than the original halftime 2004 grime hit. Royal T follows with 'Hot Ones Remix' - pulsing dancefloor grime at its finest, with awesome switches and hair-raising sub-bass undertow. SRC (Numbers, Rwina, No Hats No Hoods) opens side b with a reworking of the Nintendo 8-bit era influenced 'Goomba', the track that first brought him the attention of DJs such as Mary Anne Hobbs, Oneman, Brackles and Starkey. Finally, newcomer Mr Mitch closes the set with a colourful combination of lo-fi synths and rattling breaks on the catchily energetic 'Skittles'.

Title:	Squidge EP
Label:	Kaboogie
Repping the Dublin bass-centric sound, our toppermost friends at the City Discs store launch the !Kaboogie label with four tracks of bottom-heavy dancefloor wreckers from Ireland's most cracked low-end producers. First up, Prince Kong is a man on a mission to blow up the dance. A tough ragga riddim underlies his track 'Rise Up', with MC Jah Balance calling for all to do like the title says as the breaks kick in the door. Guaranteed to get the place heaving, wherever the place is. Next come Lakker, who have been described as "one of the best electronic acts in Ireland" by the Journal of Music in Ireland, and after a run through 'Unexpected Error', it's clear how they earned this accolade, thanks to paranoia-inducing swathes of darkstyle bass combined with fast-paced beats for a pure nightmare scenario. Flipside, 16 Hertz makes his vinyl debut with the massive '16 Tons', a beast of a track that combines half-step percussion with a huge brass riff. Belfast's Thatboytim closes the EP with 'Past The End', a bass-heavy booty electro-jak tune, featuring a haunting vocal line, and undeniably the most intriguing of the four pieces on show here. This crunching 12" will hit the spot for fans of The Bug, Cardopusher, Rusko, Gunjack, and Kid 606... 300 copies only... insert you own tired Guiness and shamrock puns here.
