Repress of this sought-after experimental / new wave LP by Munich band P!Off?.Released in 1982 by Transparent, the album achieved some respectable successes at the time, but quickly disappeared in the flood of NDW releases of the early 1980s. Check the boogie track 'Mein Walkman ist kaputt' and the sleezy slow disco jam 'In der Nacht'.

Butter Sessions play host to Yuzo Iwata’s first ever full length. 10 tracks spanning a wide variety of tempos and show a consistent approach to unusual sound design evidenced in his RA Mix of the Day for Clubberia (100% originals recorded circa 2017).Kaizu unfolds with dense environmental ambient textures before ‘Neverland’ takes us into broken dancehall rhythms and acid-tinged dub. ‘Funclub’ is reminiscent of Japanese video game soundtracks and 80s fusion whilst further into Side A the balearic energy continues to captivate, closing with the beautiful ‘Heroes Show Up Late’.It’s Iwata’s knack for percussion that is most evident across the album, with Side B opener ‘Gamelion’ taking an Indonesian inspired approach to modern techno. ‘Sundance’ follows with more Japanese motifs, recalling Haruomi Hosono’s F.O.E project. Another strong rhythmic workout suited to the floor. The environmental ambient textures return with the closing piece ‘Time 2 L’.

Deep jungle inspired from London's Tim Reaper & Melbourne's Kloke, nodding to the golden era of Fabio, Grooverider, Metalheadz, Bukem etc. DOPE.

Wicked 2017 EP from Warren Harris AKA Hanna, spanning deep house, broken beat & Downtempo.
