Soul People Music boss Fred P. curates one of these EPs every year, but in 2013 we’re being treated to two, this one featuring Beat Pharmacy, Esther Duijn, Lapien, and Fred himself.
single
Ital, Throbbing / Nodding
November 20, 2013 – 12:01 AM
Moving on from the languid house tapestry of his Workshop 12″, Ital weaves two tracks for his own Lovers Rock imprint that extend their predecessor’s opulent wooze with a noticeably brusque physicality.
Rhythmic Theory, Siren Song
November 14, 2013 – 12:01 AM
Bristol’s anonymous techno guy drops another two self-released dirt tracks here, of good quality and familiar stock, pairing the kind of granulated drum machine noise that has been finding currency lately.
MGUN, Blunt Run
November 12, 2013 – 12:01 AM
On Blunt Run, MGUN pays vivacious tribute to his city’s pre-techno primordial soup: the nebulous sound of “The Electrifying Mojo,” Jeff Mills as The Wizard, “The New Dance Show,” and “The Scene.”
Austin Cesear, There’s A Crack In Everything EP
November 7, 2013 – 12:01 AM
There’s A Crack In Everything, the follow up to Austin Cesear’s debut LP, affirms that the quirky aesthetic established there was hardly a fluke.
Pearson Sound, HES026
October 29, 2013 – 12:01 AM
David Kennedy makes his triumphant return with HES026, drawing on his skill for spacious, innovative rhythms and sparse, starkly touching melodies for one of his most focused and effective records to date.
Benedikt Frey, Seven Corridors
October 23, 2013 – 10:01 PM
Seven Corridors, the second release on Benedikt Frey’s own imprint, Love Pain Sunshine & Rain, contains some of his most intrepid work yet — a wealth of textures and unpredictably shifting grooves.
Signature Series, Self Titled EP
October 23, 2013 – 12:01 AM
Part of Melbourne’s bubbling house scene, Dan Steele and Andrew Broughton make their self-titled debut as Signature Series on their own Bad Party Records.
Vester Koza, Maslo 03
October 22, 2013 – 12:01 AM
Like his two self-released EP before it, Vester Koza’s Maslo 03 is a pleasure to sink into.
Deepchord, Prana / Tantra
October 18, 2013 – 12:01 AM
While making references to yogic concepts, Prana/Tantra just moves more than any Deepchord record we’ve heard in awhile.
TCB, Monogamie
October 17, 2013 – 12:01 AM
Like Live At Robert Johnson, the label he runs with Ata, Oliver Hafenbauer’s Die Orakel imprint mines left of center sounds with The Citizen’s Band.
Aquarian Foundation, Silent Teaching EP
October 15, 2013 – 12:01 AM
Silent Teaching EP, Aquarian Foundation’s highly sought-after vinyl debut on Brixton’s Going Good, is made all the more compelling by the live sensibility which is so apparent throughout.
Pev & Kowton, End Point
October 10, 2013 – 12:01 AM
Until now, though, Livity Sound has lacked an anthem. Both “Infinity Is Now” and “End Point” by Pev & Kowton happen to be just that.
Joe, Slope / Maximum Body Muscle
October 9, 2013 – 12:01 AM
A record from Joe is a seldom seen treat, and with Slope / Maximum Body Muscle for Hessle Audio the shadowy producer delivers some of his most extroverted work yet.
Tin Man, Underdog EP Pt 2
October 3, 2013 – 8:28 AM
Following close behind Pt 1, Tin Man’s Underdog EP Pt 2 on Pomelo has the same leisurely gait that makes his Acid Test records effortlessly absorbing.
Don Froth, Reflexed EP
October 1, 2013 – 12:01 AM
Don Froth revamps the title track of his Reflex EP, which failed to see vinyl release on UNO, with remixes by Anthony “Shake” Shakir and West Norwood Cassette Library’s Bob Bhamra.
Move D, The KM20 Tapes (1992–1996)
September 27, 2013 – 12:01 AM
On the sophomore release from Jordan Czamanski’s new Off Minor imprint, David Moufang dusts off five archival tracks originally recorded at his KM20 studio in Heidelberg between 1992–96.
