OTHER TITLES, N-Z

 **N "Memories from Before Being Born" CD (+Belligeranza) Feedback from 2 tape players plugged into each other is run through filters and delays for an interesting variety of soundscapes akin to Nomex or early TG. This is a new sub-label from Italy's Sonic Belligeranza, thus the quality is present... $10

NRon & Mikeo "Pull It Up!" 7" (Tax Records 04) a mysterious boot of M.I.A.'s "Pull Up the People" from locals who succeed at screwing the volume down and adding a mental trance-synth melody of their own. Great for mixing and the instrumental is practically its own song. Reminds us of something from Soot Records. Let's hear more!!! $8


Noisebrothel and A:Pod 12" (Toolbox Ltd. 02) A Minneapolis duo on a French label. Noisebrothel has recorded as Target Market Research on History of the Future. Here he teams up with MC A:Pod for a hypnotic heavy downtempo trip. Think Zach de la Rocha with Techno Animal. $10


Noizecreator "Something Bad"
2xCD (Thorn 03) Super-dope! All of the old Noizecreator tracks from out-of-print Active Underground releases on one disc. These are some of the best underground industrial dance breaks out in the past few years. Collected on the second disc are more hard-to-find similarities with tracks by Geroyche, Slepcy, RudeAssTinker, as well as more Noizecreator. The mix shows off their affinities well with a strong blend of hard, hip hop, noise and weirdo. Tough and slammin'. All of this stuff is out-of-print for a reason! $20


**Noizecreator "Undead" 12" (Active Underground 07) Dark and super tight production we've come to expect from this corner of Germany. One side's subdued with snappy snare work and heavy breakdown's not unlike a breakcore Photek... actually lets leave it at that and call it a big compliment. Showing and improving with his signature sound. $11



**Not Breathing "Minotaur" 12"EP (Terminal Dusk) While we Broklynites aren't always super-fond of American industrial dance, Not Breathing has always had a sweet spot in our hearts for his Arizona sun-burnt psychedelic dark electro. Great to see him with new tracks and on vinyl no less! Eight tracks that bubble and squirm along like if Muslimgauze was from Tuscon... $10


Not Half 12" (No Room for Talent Rec.) Another Winnepeg resident churning out, ummmm dinsaur breaks with names like Dimetrodon and Kilquaeda. Mastered by Fanny and definitely some influence, if that describes it better. $10

Nu Tango "A.P.P.A.R.T" CD - This contains the Nu Tango 12" as well as new tracks. It seems it's one person with an accordian and guitar who also programs sweet, rough beats underneath tango motifs. Sound cheesey? Well, it's not - it's one of the best digital-acoustic folk blends we've ever heard and we're very happy to have it on CD because our vinyl copy's worn out. $13
Nu Tango 12" (see above) $11

**
Ove Naxx "Bullets from Habinko City H.C."
12" EP (Soot) Just got a bunch more copies of this awesome Japanese breakcore monster's debut. This man stands above many from the genre with this spazzed-out, toy instrument mpc slab. Get it now - some of the last copies! $11
**Ove-Naxx "Massive Swingin' MPC2000" 10" EP
(Hymen) Yay!!! New Ove-Naxx!!! Yes, of course it's mental music from planet Japan! What else would you expect?!? This is music that gives breakcore a good name. Always danceable and swingin', Ove keeps it mental with broken Japanese toy instruments, lo-fi beats and enough Hoover bass to glue it all together. A wonderful mess of gooey clatter! Five tracks. $12
Panicstepper "The Shuffler" 12"
(Ambush) Ambush goes for broke on their last-ever release. It's almost like they picked this release to say goodbye to the breakcore sound they spent years engineering. While break-oriented, there's an out/free quality here that just threw the reins away. Closest comparison could possibly be some of Slepcy, but... Exotic. $11



**Parasite "Baby 9mm" 12" EP (Damage) Six tracks of early Bristol breakcore from one of Peace Off's first Damage releases. Get it while it's around. Early jungle weed-puffin' ragga vocal breakcore with plenty of distortion amid the soundclash. $12


**
Parasite / Knifehandchop 12" (Death$ucker Rec.) Parasite's "Haters Want War" wins big with plenty of ragga change-ups in a neo-candy style. KHC follows with impressive hardcore sounds. Relentlessly unrelentingly full-throttle. $10



**
Parts and Labor "Stay Afraid" LP or CD (Jagjaguwar) A precursor to their upcoming Broklyn EP, we're offering their new LP of wicked folknoisepunk in our shop at a reasonable deal. Parts and Labor are a 3-peice from our neighborhood in Brooklyn who mix the sounds of Husker Du with powernoise and a crafty songwriting ability to make for a great live show. Here they finally hit that sound on record.
$12 LP

$12 CD
Parts and Labor / Big A Little a split 7" (Cardboard Rec.) Two local Brooklyn bands with strong underground followings join to make a dope little 7". Parts and Labor do a power electronics Husker Du thang with good songwriting and plenty of noise. These guys rule! Big A Little a do more of a tribal Boredoms thing with plenty of spacey effects and big drums. Both sides are loud and clear for DJing and on green vinyl. $6

**Pinch "Punisher" remixes by Loefah and Skream 12" (Planet Mu) Skream cannot disappoint this year and his remix here is pure blissful, sharp dubstep streamlined in his unique way with plenty of bass. Loefah rarely disappoints, as well, and we find him dredging more dread-filled vibes as he's prone to do. Nice "Spin Out!" cuts for the headz. Solid. $12
Pleasurehorse "Purly Gait" 12"
(History of the Future) An old release from ground-breaking HOTF label. Pleasurehorse is from Providence and has played bass in several Load Records bands, namely Landed and Six-Finger Satellite. Here he plays skipping CDRs of his own bass playing to great effect. Think Lesser but with hairier balls. A great DJ tool and long out of print. $10

Public Convenience comp. 12"
- A 7 track introduction to some new European artists from nutty hard breaks (LFO Demon) to textural electronics ([in]anace) to darkcore (Low Entropy, 5xpi) Something for everyone who knows what we're talking about... $9

Pushy! 12" (Perce Oreille 18) An older release from this Parisian, but we're happy to see it. Early breakcore a la experimental jump-up jungle with some Musilimgauze flourishes thrown in. Good dancefloor runner 5 years on... $9

Radio Shock 7"
This is one Kyle Lapidus, a renowned friend of ours whose been doing weird-ass noise in NYC for eons. This little dog has plenty of good lo-fi noise and textures and is produced well enough to scratch and DJ with - sweet w/ cool Radio Shack bag packaging. $5

Red Ewe Lamb "Sacrifice to the Ewe Lamb" CD (Sphenoide) Blood-curdling Jacob's Ladder splatterbreaks with a nice distorted edge. These newcomers definitely pack a unique wallop. Worth checking out, especially for fans of Hands and Hymen. $11


Ripit 12" (Zhark Int'l) Paris's Ripit represents with 2 newer tracks of lo-fi darkcore breaks and a desert sand grittiness. The older A-side is more symphonic and HEAVY. Not unlike the other recent Zhark releases. $10
Rotten and the Bogomen "Don't Live in Terror, Play in Terror"
12" (Power Vs. Power 01) Dope hardcore breaks free party disc from Amsterdam featuring a Crass mash-up and a very UP runnin' vibe. The Crass track is worth the price of admission. Big ups to Overtoom!!! $10

Sekt "Downliners" 12"
(B Cut) Runnin' electro breaks with a moody ambient synth patch flowing through the 3 trax. Similar to SMB styles out of France. $10
Sensational "Natural Shine"
CD (Wordsound) Back on his old label with a solid Sensational flow - bugged and slurred with self-accompanied basement beats. The production's gotten tight, though - ain't so 4-track anymore, but the beats make you forget about all that. Brooklyn - put some delay on that mic!!! $10

Sickboy "Morbid Monster Breaks" 12"
(Hurry Up Limited) Delightfully intricate broken breakcore for your mind-losing pleasure. Sickboy gets better with every release, but how will he ever get better than mashing up Oasis with Lauryn Hill and Operation Ivy??!! I think I'm getting too old.... nahhhhh! $12


**Skream "Tapped / Dutch Flowerz"
12" (Tempa) For the uninitiated, Skream makes shimmery, sunshiney dubstep, a normally nocturnal genre. Both sides of this single bring that vibe with "Dutch Flowers" adding a digital skank rhythm and "Tapped" (sans JME vox from the LP) adding his familiar arpeggiated flourishes. We agree - his best single and limited... $13

**Skream "The Zinc Remixes" 12" (Bingo) True Playaz rollin' jungle is well-suited to Skream's shiny dubstep and, although novelty-esque, these tracks are real history lesson - how jungle got to be dubstep and how a jungle vet sees it. A solid curiosity and tight graphic spoof of Tempa's look! $12
Slaaam "Skank Block Bologna" 12"
(Sonic Belligeranza 03) Peace Off's Slaaam from France repesents with his splattered breakcore sound with 5 solid tracks. DJ Balli also tacked on some great dubby horn locked grooves which, even if your not into wall-of-sound breakcore are some versatile DJ tools, for sure. Almost out-of-print, as well. $11



Some Place Else Records

This small Finnish label has continued to prick our ears with 7" releases brimming with cool sounds and ideas. Some noise, a fair chunk of electro and an odd organic tribalism define this interesting new outlet. Don't sleep.
- "Kaos In Eccentris" 7"
(Some Place Else) Two tracks by a variety of Finnish collaborators creating improvised noise jams. Very earthy noise. $6

- Niko Skorpio "Grey Bloom" 12" LP
(Some Place Else) His first release from 1998 sees a variety of noise collaborations tracking the grit of Finnish scapes. Stands the test of time... $10
- Reptiljian / Ibrahim Terzic 7"
(Some Place Else) One side mixes Muslimgauze with splattercore and the other is playful, caustic electronic noise. Both sides sound great and point in an interesting direction for this new Scandinavian label. $6
- Skorpio / Reptiljian "Silence is King" 7"
(Some Place Else) A dope collaboration by these 2 Finnish experimentalists leads to 4 tracks of downtempo broken electro. Sweet. $6

Society Suckers/Abdullah K 12" (AmEx 1) The Suckers reinvent breakbeat hardcore and throw in a little noirish voice-over . Plenty of thick beats here. I mean killer bass buzz with maximum paranoid high synths. Abdullah K (a.k.a. Bogdan Rodzinski) is straight puff-tuff hard jungle with plenty of nice analogedges helping rinse it out. Proper dancefloor material. $11

Somatic Responses "Post-Organic" 12" (Praxis 18) An older S.R. gets reissued and rightfully so. The Somatics are in full hard industrial techno mode here with their signature acid crust added to some well-crafted hard beats. Good production - the sounds come alive... $11


Sons Urbains 06 12" (Sons rbains) Counter Pressure, LeXPekor, GH Base Mobile provide more mid-tempo breaks with plenty of urban (urbain?) grit and flavor. Good for late-night b-boy breakdown spinning. $11
Stalkf4 12" - Do I know what this Nantes, France producer is about? Hell no, but it's some seriously damaged shufflin' braekcore with plenty of breakdowns, acoustic samples and weirdo dubby mixes. Reminds us of other French pals Kktus Tribe and Antistatik; hypnotic, rollin' breaks with noize and broken here and there. Strong new talent and cool artwork. $12


Still "Anodyne/Love from Room 232" 7" Droney instrumental post-rock with good beats. I'd mix this into 1-Speed Bike anyday. Side 2 has some great bugged-out sounds! $6



Systemwide "Osmani Stepper" CD EP (B.S.I.)
- rootsy digidub with nice full productions and a full live band and we're always suckers for melodicas. Six tracks with two remixes by Alpha and Omega and Rootsman. $6

**Team Shadetek feat. 77 Klash and Jah Dan "Brooklyn Anthem" (SoundInk) Definitely one of SoundInk's hottest releases, properly delivered in time for summer. Shadetek delivers with their hybrid electronic grime hip hop sound under raps by 77 Klash, Jah Dan, Zesto and Rustee Juxx. A hybrid indeed and one which succeeds with a combo of strong beats and cantankerous underground MCs. A summer hit!!! $9


Terminal 11 "Bistro"
7" (Advanced Idea Mechanics) A sweet little bugged-out bugger from the Philly camp, home to Duran Duran Duran to drop a reference... This is all punch-drunk chopped up beats with plenty of creative little rhythms slipped in. More broken beat than breakcore - we likey! $6
Tester vs. Capleton 12"
(Maxi Tuff Ganger) The "Dissin' Yuh Sound" is tight as is that "Cellular Phone" track they use on the flip. This is a straight ragga jungle runner in a Rewind Records style with Capleton vocals. $10

Textor and Positive "Pure Luck"/version"
7" A loopy hip hop beat with warped samples and KRS-ONE lines under a German rapper whose alright. The version is worth spinning, as well. $6

**Toecutter "We Topia" 2x 12" + 7" LP (System Corrupt) Australia's SyCo collective finally deliver a mega LP on our shores with amazing artwork and a lot of vinyl. It's all mash-up madness with everyone from Tommy Tutone to Kid 606 at the party. Oh, and the xylophone breakcore "Smoke on the Water"? Yes, that's why they needed a 7" added...It's pure mental laughs amid a din of distorted party breaks. Nice package, dude. $20
Trolls "Moignon pourri ton alie volera" 12" - 2003 release follows the same vibe as their previous release. Solid. - $12


**Trouble & Bass
12" EP (Add Ad At) Mathhead and Drop the Lime combine to deliver 3 tracks that sparkle and strut with dubstep, techno and grime flourishes. It's pure NYC Trouble and Bass and all the experimenting is paying off well. One of their best yet, delivering for the dancefloor with a Snap! $12

**Trouble & Bass "Bass Bandits" 12" (Flamin' Hotz) Mathhead and Drop the Lime team up for a B-more mash-up record with pure NYC flavor. "Ridin Dirty" and "Somebody's Watchin Me" get 4x4 workouts alongside some other primo Southern rap mash-up action and dope artwork. This is pure Saturday night dancefloor action - all 6 traxxx! $13

Umkra / +2H-2N 7" (Trakma) Textured synth/breaks-driven French electronics with plenty of mixable material. Weird noises abound making this one stand out - more anti-war sentiment here, as well. $6


**
Undacover "Intrusion" CD (Dyslexic Response) Definitely a Dyslexic release with a brutally hard distorted sound ripping with raw energy. These tracks sound like the track is actually breaking out of itself. A lot of it definitely verges on powerviolence despite its dark breakcore roots... we like that! $12

Urbana Youth Outreach "No More War" 12"
(Eupholus) - Experimental DIY breaks from the Midwest with a bit of a ragga dub edge thrown in. This is our favorite Eupholus release and we think you'll like what they're doing... $9

Uske Orettestra "Moli Herzog"
CD (ambivalence) Dreamy yet disturbing free form electro-acoustics. Eerily reminiscent of the many shows I have heard while bartending upstairs at Tonic. Thankfully it is more playful than serious. Nice packaging. The same Belgium label that has put out the lovely Synchopated Elevators Legacy 12". $13

**
V/A "8 Sound Works" benefit CD - Neighborhood pirate radio station free103point9 implants New Yorkers in rural upstate for an abstract electronic jam transmitted and listened to by people tuning it in on headphones while wandering through the woods. This is a benefit disc for The New York Society for Acoustic Ecology so there's a running theme to the recordings and intriguing liner notes about the project. Most notable for us because there's one of the first audio recordings from MPLD, the Broklyn graphics honcho.  Ben Owen another Broklyn collaborator produced this collection minimal abstract noise which has grown out of his Seasonal parties here in Williamsburg. $12
V/A "Bruchstellen Rec. Vol. 2"
12" (Bruchstellen Rec.) Aussie - German collab. of distorted mash-up ravey breakcore. If you're familiar with any of the artists, you'll dig this immensely: LFO Demo, Maladroit, Toecutter, Edgey, Main$tream, and D.R.K. Dancefloor-ready, but still experimental. $12

**V/A Bruchstellen Records Vol. 3 12" (Bruchstellen) Six experimental breaks and ragga from Ariq 7 Enk, Ely Muff, Krumble, Kos, Trouble Clef (Trolls!!!) and Strident Vortx from this Hamburg upstart. Istari Lasterfahrer delivers a fine track as does Trouble Clef and Krumble. Cut-up madness from the land of breakcore. $12

**
V/A Byteburger 12" - Very happy to get a few copies of this hard-to-find French comp. It's twelve tracks of bizarre electronic electronics from a bunch of artists we've never heard of from Strasbourg. Reomini's track still slays 3 years later with it's electro breakcore finesse. Don't sleep. $11
V/A Cockrockdisco 02 12" -
A messy, noisey beast of a let's make-it-in-a-day effort that succeeds with glorious colors. Warst wins, but DuranDuranDuran, Jason Forrest and Dev/null are only a cock's length behind in this punky breakcore, neorave meltdown. Comes with a loverly poster from Jason Forrest, unicorn stickers and a dozen Hoover samples for maximum DJ pleasure. $12

**V/A Cockrockdisco 03 12" EP (CRD) Jason Forrest along with Bong-Ra (wicked Skeletor track!!!) , Terminal 11 and Deacon Bombastardizer deliver mental neorave sample-nuts breakcore in that do-it-in-an-hour improv ADD way. Wonderful butterfly sticker and post-rave tent poster + DJ sample cuts make this one of the best he's done in the series. $13



V/A "Contaminated Bass Injection"
12" EP (Dirty Needles 001) A tight compilation of London broken electro with tracks by DJ Controlled Weirdness, Ronin, Noyeahno and Black Mass Plastics whose grime-edge wins out hard. Can't wait for 002. $10

V/A - Crooked "The Original Score" CD (Wordsound) 23 tracks inspired and included in the Wordsound movie "Crooked". This is a great overview of everyone on the Wordsound label and their newer projects: Scotty Hard, Sensational, Spectre, Mentol Nomad and Bill Laswell define the legacy of Wordsound's gritty, abstract hip hop. $10

V/A - Flav-o-Pac: Memeograph (Soundlab) Way back when Soundlab had a label and there wasn't so many electronic artists and the WTC is still in the picture, everyone got along and gave tracks topromoters Soundlab: Mutamassik, I-Sound, Shizuo, Spooky, Anti-Pop, Toshio Kajiwara and many more connect the new terrain to the illbient beginnings laid before. Another discount goodie... $8


**
V/A "Grmo Crnko" 12" (Pure Fire) This is a retarded mash-up 12" using grime and dubstep instrumentals with Crunk a capellas. Highlights include Skream & Big Boi and Dexplicit & Slim Thug. A definite addition to your party platters. Original. $10
V/A"Laisse Les Sexes Primer"
12" EP (Kor a Kor 2) A six-track compilation of hardbreaks with French MCs addressing sexual politics. Included are tracks by Les Trolls as well as Parisian Gorki Plubakter and newcomers Whaloo and Cornflex. It's probably a lot better if you can understand French, but still contains some solid trax and plenty of DJ-tool French sex samples between each track. Tracks by Nevroz and Trouble Clef win out substituting MCs for cut-up sex samples and an Aaliyah "Try Again" mash-up. $11



V/A Marasm 10
7" EP (Marasm) another nice EP of dirty downtempo from this Paris label. Four tracks of heavy breaks from Caterva, Les Trolls, Sound Disaster and Umkra. A good deal. $5

V/A - Noodles 11 12" Si Begg, Kirk and Osymyso give us a sweet combo of electro, minimal techno and funk on this resuscitated oddball label which never disappoints. $11

V/A - Night on Earth Records 1 10" EP (Night on Earth) Labelhead Tzii introduces us to hi broken beats noise romp on the first 2 tracks and UHT/Saoulleterre finish things off with a dirty lo-fi ragga breakcore pop track. Dope dubcore DJ material here! $10


V/A - Night on Earth 2
12" EP (Night on Earth) Tzii, Gamaboy, Grabuk, Saouleterre, Thropp, Music for Sleeping and Gorky Plubakter present Parisian electronic noise in the form of textures and dubby effects. Most of this is beatless experimentation ideal for DJing noise sets. Wicked shit. $10
V/A - Night on Earth 4
12" EP (Night on Earth) Here we see the same cast of French characters (Gamaboy and Tzii) playing host to Germany's LFO Demon and Minneapolis Broklyn pal Radar Threat, plus Man-Eater Orchestra, S. Lemonon and Cham. All artists' sounds are quite different, but tend to aim at industrial noise elements in a dubbier, newer setting. LFO Demon slows his breakcore down to dubstep and delivers. Radar Threat on vinyl is a treat as well! Class act, this one! $10
**V/A "Pink Ponies vs. Blue Bytes"
7" (SPB / Alphacute 01) Gameboy madness done well from 4 German electronic folks on a twisted pop trip: Frederik Schikowski, Karl Marx Stadt, error23 and lxc represent on Istari Lasterfahrer's label and new Alphacute. $7

V/A - "Popular Electronic Uzak"
CD (Samboat)  This is about a year old, but still ahead of things with 20 tracks from all of our underground Parisian friends: DJ Isaac, Saouleterre, Gamaboy, Tzii and many more (even Duck Juggler!) Imagine a bunch of broke-ass city kids cranking out dirty electro and noise on drum machines and you have the Paris sound! A good introduction at a great price. $10

V/A -"Popular Electronic Uzak vol. 2" CD (Samboat) Another cool compilation covering the underground electro and noise scene in Paris with 17 selections from Tzii, Ripit, Gamaboy and many others. A few non-French artists such as Donna Summer and Sikhara also pop up. Cool cover, too. $12
V/A Reject Records #1 12" (Reject) This new Michigan label comes out the block strong with this assortment of chopped-up breakcore (labelhead Selector Catalogue,) downtempo noise (Deucalion,) hip hop instrumental (Da Vinci Green) and next-level greatness from DJ Aneurysm and Uchuuhikoushi. They even threw in a track of scratch samples! $8

V/A - Shockout 06 12" (Tigerbeat 6) Finally got ahold of some of TB6's sweet Shockout 12"s. This one features Shadetek's dope "Balkan Nights Riddim" and Drop the Lime's stop-onna-dime breaks under Wayne Lonesome's "Gal Yuh Nuh Beg." Our fave of the series and back in print... $9


V/A - Shockout 08 12" (Tigerbeat 6)This 12" sees Drop the Lime and Ghislain Poirier loading up tracks for Wayne Lonesome's "Tribute to Tiger" vocal. DtL drops 3 tracks, one exp.d'n'b, one in his tribal dub stylee and one breakcore. Poirier gives us something more in a Soot/ Rupture style. Known more as an MC, you cannot front on G.P.'s production prowess... $9

V/A "Showtunes of the Condemned" CD (Hospital Prod.) From this promising new Providence noise label comes a compilation of new tracks from the likes of Pleasurehorse (3 new tracks!), Sinking Body, Kites, Work/Death, Smashed femur Dance Party and Meerck Puffy. Top quality glitchy, spastic beat madness from the capital of noise. $10

V/A "Speedhall" 12" comp. (Koolpop) Yes, first there was dubcore and now we have speedhall... and that's what this is: 4 trax from Kovert, Amboss and FFF ("Batty Bwoy"?!) The best new ragga breakcore... errr... speedhall this season. Oh, did I mention it's got Sizzla vox thrown hard all over it?! Underpants-dancecore for the German masses!!! Sweet distortion. $12

V/A "Sidetracked" double LP (Mode of Proof) This new Detroit label gets kickstarted with a grand double LP of short tracks by 56 different artists, a veritable U.S. breakcore who's who. Donna Summer, Bombadier, Dev/null, Duranduranduran, Xanopticon and many many more. Great packaging and a great start... $14

**V/A - "Sou Funk EP" (Flamin Hotz) Philly label bootlegs some of the best baile funk MP3s on this delicious slice of vinyl. Raw electro-funk made better with cut-ups of the Rocky theme and sweet Brazilian MCs. Recommended for its freshness and rareness. $12



V/A "Speedhall The Rewind" 12"
(KoolPop) Berlin's KoolPop rarely disappoint and this second Speedhall comp. doesn't. Geryoche, Amboss and Unsane Virusez mash up dancehall vocals with experimental breakcore, the second winning with a laidback distorted buzz best described as skankhall. Amboss delivers 2 Sean Paul mash-ups, the first delivering the way every mash-up should (if not, why bother?!) $11
**V/A "Trash n Ready Tour" 12" EP comp. (Peace Off!) Peace Off's 2006 summer tour platter highlights 2 new tracks from Rotator akin to his Broklyn 12" (HOTTT!!!) as well as 2 each from Krumble (dense, electric speedhall) and Cardopusher (stop-on-a-dime speedCORE.) Plenty of sharp breakcore from this definitive label. $13

V/A "World A Jamrock"
7" (Punchline) A wicked boot from England mixing Ini Kamoaze's first verse from his original with Damien Marley's new take. A great mix if you dig the riddim. The flip is a reggaeton mash-up of "Freaky Toma" with Spragga Benz, Lil Jon, Pitbull and Lady Saw. Reggaeton from England?!? $7.50
Venetian Snares "Winnepeg is a Frozen Shithole Vol. 2" 12" (Peace Off!) Mental gabberbreak action from the frozen shithole. If you spin gabber and hardcore, you will want this... nice acid lines in there, too. $12


**Venetian Snares "Winnepeg is a Frozen Shithole EP Vol. 2"
12" (Peace Off!) Aaron casts his second audio spell over the city of Winnepeg, opting for jackhammer gabber breaks, chop-cut scratching and schizophrenic rave melodies with nice breakdowns. Yes, the half-time ravey breakdowns are nice... $12

Venetian Snares/Fanny "Leopards of Mass Destruction" 7"
(Death$ucker) - Bugged-out disco breaks from Winnepeg roommates. This would hurt on drugs: I see the bunny in the ground... $6

**V/VM "The Sound of Belgian New Beat" 12" EP (V/VM Rec.) Six sick acid electro tracks with titles like "I Wanna Fuck Nicky Stax." Great shit if you're into dark electro and sick underworld beats to use with buttplugs. These guys have a funny sense of humor! $13

**V/VM "Made in Belgium" 12" EP (WeMe Rec.) V/VM return with a tribute to Belgian New Beat paying homage to Lords of Acid, Nicky Trax and the like. Dirty raw acid that sounds as original and sick as their predecessors. Four tracks of dancefloor acid electro with that special V/VM mental edge. $13
**Xanopticon "Psicicite" 12" EP (Hymen) Skittery, seething, grandiose breakcore from Steeltown. Xanopticon invents a dark, bombastic world, thick with sound, claustrophobic and suffocating. Nice dynamics prevail, however, and this is his best in our opinion... $11

Yee King "Fat Drunk Dead"
2 x 12" LP (Trash Records) England's now-defunkt Trash Records released some dope vinyl 5 years back, bridging the gap between today's breakcore and 20th century experimental techno and jungle. This LP has plenty of programmed madness, from Throbbing Gristle passages to distorto-electro. Think early Squarepusher. Out of print. $15
Zea "One Bomb Fits All" remix 12" (Transformed Dreams) Dutch 2-piece Zea make electronic, melodic pop with buzzsaw guitars and great melodies. Leave it to Melt Banana, 1-Speed Bike, Donna Summer and Felix Kubin to twist these great songs their own way. Definitely one of the best things out this year. $11
