Originally pressed in 2023 as a bandcamp-only release, this sold out in less than a day, and is now being repressed on black & gold marbled, hand-stamped 12” vinyl due to repeated requests. Two DJ-friendly club cuts, 45rpm and pressed nice and loud. Buzzing 24/7 is a stripped back wonky bassline banger set against a catchy-as-fuck vocal. The Fixer is an oldskool 909 & 303 jacking rave workout. There was a huge response on this one from Blessed Madonna, dBridge, Anz, The Analogue Cops, Martyn Bootyspoon, Alienata, Addisson Groove, Meg Ward, Bloody Mary, Ivan Smagghe, Cici, Roska, Om Unit, Slam, Laurent Garnier and countless, countless more.

This album is a love letter to teenage selves.

An ode to youthful memories from Scotland and the North East of England. We’re of the generation that saw the CJB force the raves from the fields into the clubs, we caught the tail end of the convoys soundtracked by cassette recordings of pirate radio stations from far-off London and beyond. Every week a new musical discovery, every mixtape a revelation. Losing friends in dark fields or corridors of strange warehouses, then finding them again in the strobe lit smoke of the dancefloor.

It's rave, and techno, and jungle, and trance, and house, and ambient...but none of it is quite straight forward; It’s all a bit hazy, timelines broken and lines blurred. We hope the memory connects with you, the way it does with us.

Josh & Rich x

Out on double 12” vinyl & mixtape cassette. Cut by Radioactive Man.

A coming together of some serious house music legends.
Boy's Own don Terry Farley teams up with Kevin Swain of D.O.P. for a peak-time acid anthem "Memory Child". Label boss Posthuman strips it back for a Sheffield Bleep Techno vibe remix, while Kirk Degiorgio rebuilds the track with modular acid and epic piano chords into a blissful, sunshine anthem. Terry and Kevin bring it all back with the more chilled "Acid Tool" mix to complete the EP.

Written by Mark Archer in 1991 and released as Altern-8, this is half of a double vinyl set featuring new modern remixes cut from the original samples. Radioactive Man gives the track a purist electro makeover, while DJ Marky ups the tempo for a dancefloor destroying breakbeat re-work. On the flipside, Ceephax Acid Crew takes the hyperactivity up yet another level, while Mark Broom gets dirty and distorted, with Nightwave rounding out the 12” with a jackhammer acid remix.
