10" Translucent Pink Vinyl / Full Sleeve!

My Idea with these series of 10” records was to do 5 in around a year to 18 months. This got scuppered by the situation at world pressing plants with the extreme wait for records.

The tracks are all taken from my live set which I’ve been doing over the last few years which has taken in some huge gigs and festivals including Houghton, Dimensions, Ion and extensive club gigs too.

All of them have the dance floor funk and the artwork is from long term design partner Lung.

The vibe on these is rolled plasticine using a different coloured vinyl each time. So making the series quite collectable too.

Lord of Dem Tings is a tribute to the late great Lee Scratch Perry and theres a nod to him on the sticker for this one.

Rubber Dub is a nod to my most excellent distributor and friends at the Glasgow record and music gear shop Rubadub!!! :)

Keith Tenniswood returns in 2016 with Dub Vault Vol. 2, the second emission of dubwise productions under his Radioactive Man moniker, originally recorded a decade ago while based in Scrutton Street Studios. A long time fan of roots, reggae and dub here he fully indulges in the genre whose keystone bass weighted sounds have informed the electro-focused designs he is predominantly known for. Explosion begins the EP recorded utilising new toy at the time, a Korg ESX1 sampler and sequencer, resulting in simple but crashing dancehall beats with a diliinja style bassline that is pure roughage. Second track Razor sees Tenniswood also take up the guitar as well as beat programming in this track named after the ‘Stepping Razor’ Peter Tosh and a nod to his music hero Adrian Sherwood and On U Sound vibes.
Blazer rounds off the EP, a collab with long term dub head and band member with Keith from Bargecharge (check Fuel Records early releases late 90s) James Foster. Tape echo and distorted bass make up the thick sound of this track.

Unshaken in his vision, Keith Tenniswood is an artist who's emotive electronic music, and ethos has seen him lorded as an innovator and machine funk specialist. As long term collaborator to Andrew Weatherall in their now defunct Two Lone Swordsmen guise, and with his continual sonic experiments as Radioactive Man he mans a landscape of music without rules or boundaries. Opening the his debut release on Reinhardt, lead track White Light Monochrome channels a mechanical rhythm, with a tip of the hat to electronic music founders Kraftwerk. Intensively building to the 3 minute plus mark, before haunting keys lead the way, descending into a cybernetic electro workout. Future driver Space Ranger takes to the audio freeway, mainlined for Detroit. Imprinted with Tenniswood' unmistakable style, finely honed snares layer up around distorted low end frequencies, coursing in a hypnotic expedition towards the outer districts. Channeling the tendencies of Bauhaus and Joy Division, the warping Transponder documents the ever prevalent post-punk influence within the output of Radioactive Man. In close pursuit EP closer Mechanical Music Menace levels the floor. Beaming into the stratosphere, live bass pulsates through the system as man and machine fuse, xylophone keys take front and centre taking us beyond the stars. Digital bonus track Hideout evokes a sound with one foot in the past, and an eye on the future. A trademark continually present through the music of this uncompromising and inventive producer.

Radioactive Man: "Dub has always been a major influence in my music, mainly roots a la King Tubby, Marley, Lee Scratch, King Jammy etc. I used to religiously tune into the Manasseh show on Kiss FM on Saturday nights after Coldcut, that introduced me to the massive amount of Roots Reggae and Dub that was made in the 70’s. I always loved the fact there was two versions, a vocal and a dub, which was always played in that order... The original remix music i guess.

Radioactive Man & Ben Pest deliver their 2nd EP on Asking For Trouble.

4 Trax of ravey acid vibes for the dirty dancefloor. Both have been doing their own live sets across the planet, the trax reflect this in the way these were built. Contrary to the EP title, you do actually want this in your house.

Artwork By Lung.

The Bass Junkie sound spans the old school beats and vibes of the Electro genre’s origins, to the borderline industrial. Phil is a battle hardened Bass Bot from the future armed with his trusty MPC.

The obsession with all things sci-fi continues with this 'Cruising The Bass Nebula' EP. Out this February on my Asking for Trouble label, this is testament to his non-stop love of the genre and keeps on evolving with this funky 10".

Phil Klein aka Bass Junkie has been part of the Bass furniture for decades. I first came across him at my local roller disco somewhere in the 80s where he would flex his early DJ skills. Phil was cutting and scratching on the decks way before anyone I knew.

His history is quite something. In the early 90s he contacted Dave Noller from Dynamix II in Florida and after sending demos (pre-Internet of course). He ended up going there to make some tunes under the name of Cybernet Systems.

Phil has had many monikers and worked with lots of people over the years. Model Citizens with Matt Whitehead, IBM, Gods of Technology and Kronos Device with Si Brown (Dexorcist) and myself both as The Brink and part of The Resonance Committee to name a few. 2021 saw the release of the album Sub Sonic Survivor on Bass Agenda. He's had releases on lots of labels over the years including Control Tower, Firewire, SMB, Ed DMX's Breakin records, Andrea Parker's Touchin Bass label, Billy Nasty's Electrix and his own Battle Trax label.

Throbullating throughout the galaxy since 1986!

Recorded in a string of sessions between Curve Pusher’s former Darnley Road location in London and new facility in UK seaside town Hastings, ?Old Tight Selektah? sees Radioactive Man and Ben Pest (OverworX) riff off their shared passions for studio hardware and live set jams, maintaining the funk at all times.

Lead track ?Old Tight? works in ?recorded licks from the Pest band’s horn section - Off-Key He-Man. Bar Tab smooths out into a glimmering and acid licked electro number. ?You Bring It, We’ll Wing It? enjoys more of the Pest brass service, slowing the pace to a dubby, broken beat tempo. Finishing up the EP ?Bracetings? is a jumpy, up tempo finish to the release showing off both producer’s flair for high precision beat programming.

Ben Pest is a hardware-made-techno specialist based in Bristol. He runs his own label OverworX and has also released his heady raucous sound on ?Varvet, Don’t and I Love Acid.

Asking For Trouble est. 2017
Mastered and cut by Keith Tenniswood at Curve Pushe

...it must affect the brain in some way, unless it’s just the music that does it? All them lights flashing don’t do you any good either...
Recorded in Curve Pusher’s former Hackney premises over a series of sessions during 2016-2017, L-R is the name for the sounds that have emerged from the collaboration of friends Simon Lynch (London Modular Alliance), Monoak (Freerotation) and Radioactive Man. Oscillating modular sequences from the units Simon brought to sessions, multi-MPC powered beat programming, and TB 303 patterns being fed to a MiniMoog is the backbone of this record, some of the last sessions at Curvepusher studio, London, before its move to Hastings. Where we get the best out of these three singular producers.
Asking for Trouble is Keith Tenniswood (Radioactive Man’s) record label - established in 2017 to home his solo and collaborative studio work.
