Since Thrillz there’s been talk of an SDC album, and in typically gratuitous fashion Jack Hamill and R&S ended the year with a 49-minute “prequel” to said long-player.

Space Dimension Controller, Temporary Thrillz
November 12, 2010 – 12:01 AM
SDC wears a number of different hats on Temporary Thrillz, his new doublepack for R&S, without ever sounding like he’s finding his footing.
James Blake, CMYK EP
June 29, 2010 – 10:01 PM
Drawing a line from the multi-textured sounds of the Detroit masters who orbited R&S Records during the 90’s and his own eccentric pop sensibility, James Blake maintains his focus across the CMYK EP‘s four varied tracks.
The Chain, Letting Go
June 15, 2009 – 11:40 PM
London’s Dan Foat and Nathan Boddy released “Droidnosh” on Mule Electronic last year as Foat & Boddy. But just because they’ve named their new project after a song on Rumours doesn’t mean the newly resurgent R & S has gone soft on us. If the pounding rhythms and undulating synths found on the first release since their rechristening are any indication, The Chain wish to have their name taken quite literally. “Letting Go” contains the sort of well-oiled machine music you’d expect from the Belgian, home-away-from-home of Detroit techno. Can The Chain take the label’s classic rave style and, like Radio Slave and Shed (remixing Steve Lawler) on its last two slabs, give us a reason to buy off the new release shelf instead of digging through the used bin for the classics?
