If any track on Crazy P’s most recent LP deserved its own record it’s “Heartbreaker,” and it comes paired with new takes by buzzed about producers Huxley and Mark E.

Mark E, We Could Love
Mark E’s latest for Needwant Recordings is at its best when stripped to its core and somehow less memorable with Robert Owens’ vocals on top.
Little White Earbuds Interviews Mark E
With the arrival of his debut full-length, LWE interviewed Mark E. about his album, its stylistic changes, and his plans for the months ahead.
Talking Shop with Running Back
Running Back is one of the most consistent labels about. Only in terms of quality, mind. Consistency doesn’t equal homogeneity, and frankly Running Back can be all over the shop stylistically. Ravey, wildpitch house from Radio Slave one release, Robert Dietz’s desiccated Mannheim funk the next, Running Back is unafraid to thumb its nose at genre purists. For a busy man, the label’s owner Gerd Janson is exceptionally generous with his time, and it was a pleasure to shoot the shit with him for a couple hours about the eternal vinyl versus mp3 debate, Walter Benjamin, British dub soundsystems, and what we can expect next from the least predictable of labels.
Roni Nachum, Guest Service Shalom
The Hebrew word “shalom” means peace, but it’s also a greeting and sometimes a goodbye. For Roni Nachum, a young producer from Jerusalem, “Guest Service Shalom” is one hell of a hello. His vinyl debut, which so skillfully walks between deep house moods and techno’s edges, arrives care of the shrewd A&R work of Nitzan at Fine Art Recordings. It’s also backed by a superb, decompressing remix by Mark E.
