Five dazzling remixes of Population One's classic 'Hippnotic Culture' LP by the Detroit minimalist himself. Kicking off with a 20th Anniversary Mix of 'Rush Hour', the track that inspired our company name! Big big tip and a great honor… Play it loud!Objekt: "These are wonderful. No surprise though" Population One, also known as Terrence Dixon, offered a first remix of his mysterious, minimal Detroit track 'Rush Hour' for the celebration of the label's 10th anniversary and now blesses us with new takes on five 'Hippnotic Culture' album tracks. The impressive 'Hippnotic Culture' LP was originally released in 1995 on the long defunct Utensil label, which was run by Claude Young. More

Deadly Population One album from Terrence Dixon on Rush Hour...*Classic Alert* TIP! Under the Population One codename, Detroit citizen,Terrence Dixon, has realised some of his most vivid, esoteric portals to the Motor City mindset. 'Theater Of A Confused Mind' is Dixon's 2nd album in this mode and marks a timely return to Rush Hour twenty years after his debut album, 'Unknown Black Shapes', and the 'Hippnotic Culture' 2LP, whose 'Rush Hour' track inspired our company's name. In both the literal and figurative sense of the album's title - theatre as a space for performance or an operating table, and equally in terms of psychogeography - 'Theater Of A Confused Mind' plays out an affected Afro-futurist narrative over eight tracks of haunting and furtive sci-fi techno. It's riddled with cryptic connotation, systemic from the track titles to its deft, subtle mix down, all drawing upon the city's emotions, industrial architextures and post-industrial panoramas to better express its sense of soul. Between opener 'Out Of Control', where Dixon is the voice-in-Detroit's-head, a dark interpreter on a dérive whispering to himself "Detroit, Out of Control/As I Walk Through The Mists Of Detroit/And You Don't Know What We Be", and through to the mind-blowing sci-fi projections of closer 'All Of A Sudden', it renders a unique perception of Detroit's enduring export. Tracing circuitry like grid-iron avenues, Dixon deviates down back alleys, through warehouses and across mental space, divining the ghosts of jazz in the coiled double bass of 'For Only You', or long lost SOS transmissions in the tribal patterns of 'Code Urgent', whilst the prickling electro of 'Battle For Space' condenses that fractured flux at the album's core, and the kaotic harmonies of 'My Own Shadow' encapsulate a Kafkaseque sense of raving paranoia. In light of recent news that Terrence is set to retire from making music, the already incredible 'Theater Of A Confused Mind' is imparted with an ever more impending sense of gravity. It's little short of Population One's magnum opus, and should be treated with due respect. More

The second offering on HCS from the mighty Rotterdam based duo. Again Duplex drop bombs with their signature state of the art inner city techno. Clearly playing with their love for the motorcity but always pushing the boundaries of what we like to call harbour city soul. 3 tracks ranging from beautiful deep electro to floor killing techno tracks. Highly recommended!!

Hot release alert by our boy Paul du Lac who is a long time close friend of the frustrated family, colleague at the Clone office and an old DJ buddy of Frustrated Funk label boss Klen (when they played the Nighttown Basement in the early 90's). So it's a bit of a special thing for us having him aboard. This EP shows Paul's signature minimalistic approach on Chicago style house. Typical jacking 707s and 808s combined with minimal synth pulses. 'Qom' and Access' are pure jackin' bliss for the floor while 'Moodswings' goes deeper with layers of warm pads and spaced out stings. The title track comes with a stripped beats version from Tevo Howard, for those who like to mix things up.. Highly Recommended!!

Float away in deep space while you do your late night driving. Harbour City's Duplex is back on track with a serious 2 track release on the newly formed Frustrated Funk offshoot Harbour City Sorrow. A big change in studio set-up and in mindset after a period of keeping things low is clearly audible.. Fresh production.. new ways of doing things.. but staying true to their own sound palette. Until Now is a fierce 11 minute journey that floats on and on while Memory Lane goes into more string laden aquatic territory. Duplex is still on top of their game. BIG!
