Tape Squize | XOOWO EP

It sounds like Tape Squize had to squeeze his 5 Braindancer Megahits on double tempo onto the Tape because he got a bit tight on Tape length. This guy from Portland, Oregon gets straight to the point. Highspeed Rephlex Drums, melting Acid Lines and washed out Melodies that will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about Love. If you are just tough enough to listen.

The YOOWO EP joins a full handful of releases from msh3005 Records. But this one is by far my favourite from what I've heard so far.

Collectors can get the EP in lovely old-fashioned formats. A tape version - which should be sold out by now. And also a CD version in an oldschool Floppy Disc Case.

"Handmade by the artist himself while he was struggling to find impossible (for him) inner peace and get proper amount of sleep."

This explains a lot.

Mono Junk Presents Suomen Moroderit | Vortex Traks

And yet another release from Vegboy Vertical's label Vortex Traks. This time from a real classic producer Mono Junk aka. Kimmo Rapatti.

Kimmo Rapatti aka Mono Junk is a true underground techno pioneer. In 1992 he started the label Dum Re- cords, creating a platform for his own output and a way to express himself on his own terms.

Kimmo is responsible for some of the earliest techno productions ever emanating from this very special region of Europe, known for its remarkably high quality music scene. Ever since then, Kimmo Rapatti continued producing and (re)-defining the sound of electronic music as a dedicated pioneer, being responsible for many renowned and beloved classics. His most famous track “Melody Boy 2000 – Monotonous Fantastique” is considered by experts and tastemakers as one of the best Finnish techno tracks ever made.

Up until present times, Kimmo never used any software programs for his productions, and he swears he never will – which is why he’s known to be called “Analogue Junkie”.

After a small hiatus, Mono Junk is back, making credible appearances on the labels Forbidden Planet and Skudge Records, while also intensely working on his live performance. In both his dynamic performances and productions, his signature sound is a deep, dense mix of notice- able influences from Detroit, Chicago and as in one of his most known tracks “Channel B” a little bit of Basic Channel with a twist of the seemingly endless winters of Finland.

1st of Octobird

Happy 1st of Octobird!!!

You may know him under his monikers Loom or Kinskop. You may know him as part of the Various Vegetables Crew. You may have realized him as the eight-armed Discjuicer and and Soundbird on the Various Vegetables Radio Show.

....and now you may realize, that he makes tunes, too.

A little more to the Floor! A little more Acid drowned.
And as the 1st October is  a holiday from now on, you can download the thing for free.

Wave your Tentaclles in the air and say "Oh, Yeah!"
