Joy Orbison and Herron. Three deadly rounds of tense, urgent, atmospheric, body-rocking techno — and something more like hip-hop. Tersely sexual, detailed but scuffed, fierce. That’s young Herron on the front, with his mum. More

Four, off-the-wall, housebound deviations in true Hinge Finger mode from Liepzig's underdog: fervently chopped-up beats, slicing percussion shots and seductively deranged atmospherics. Blueprint experimentalism from one half of MikroDisko More

A heavyweight classic! 'Don't Laugh' is one of those records, you know you've heard it, you may not who, what or where, but you know it! The original Winx mix is a classic, often imitated, never bettered, but the real gem here is Richie Hawtin's manic, almost borderline sinister 15+ minute reworking. Monster doesn't do it justice, tweaked out, narcotic, minimalist jacking gear. A dope combination of severe LOW end and some bracing sine waves that cut straight through. This one will surely test any club sound-system, if the venue is built for it you will know! This is one for the real heads, pure late night business oft overlooked for the more famous A-side, but trust us - Hawtin's mix will smash any dance! Oh, and there's an insane laughing acappella for those who want to mix and blend! Reissued, remastered and re-sorted for 2017 by Above Board Records with the full involvement of Nervous Records NYC.
