SDEM's debut LP for Mancunian electronic music imprint Skam Records.

VORTICES 9 tracks continue SDEM's current prolific flow after a steady series of drops via his own
MEDS label & other like-minded operators (CPU, Opal Tapes, Seagrave, Superpang etc..)

Informed by hiphop & computer music and steeped in Northern England's post bleep+bass
mutations, VORTICES operates in its own lane, rooted as much in the by-hand manipulations of
musique concrete and free improv as the studio-as-an-instrument innovations of electro, hiphop, dub and bass weighted electronica.
Evolved out of hardware jams, the pieces showcased here crackle with emotion and colour,
repeated plays reveal suggested and subliminal depths. Neither shackled to the grid nor enslaved to linearity, the LP expands & finesses SDEM's dynamic & forward facing approach

Side A
A1 Geiwis - 1.30 A2 Skrunge - 3.38 A3 NSEM Rev - 6.00
Side B B1 30Mag - 4.15 B2 Quadro Diagrammatics ft S1 - 4.20 B3 SKEF - 3.27
Side C C1 RZ - 11.28 Side D D1 Sile - 6.40 D2 2 vs 2 - 4.50

Cover & Layout by modernist graffiti master SODA.
Selection & Sequencing by MDX.
Guest sounds on B2 from SheOne.
Miles Whitaker's mastering completes the frame.
Wide ranging radio support from Autechre, Afrodeutsche, The Fear Ratio, ZULI, Aya, edv3ctor,
Brassfoot, Sylvia Kastel, Rian Treanor, 96 Back, Mosca.. etc
SDEM's live set from 2022 appears in Tom (Rat Heart) Boogizm's "best of 2022" boomkat chart.

James Ruskin & Mark Broom are back as The Fear Ratio with their third album 'They Can't Be Saved'.
LIMITED 180G 2LP - 500 only pressed. CD - 500 only.
The duo, who are long-term collaborators have created their own signature style with abstract synths, heavy basslines and experimental soundscapes that fit somewhere in between IDM, electronica and ambient.
Their acclaimed debut album 'Lightbox' was initially released in 2011 on Ruskin's Blueprint Records, featuring remixes from Warp aficionados Plaid and Deadhand. Soon after they formed a long-lasting relationship with cult Manchester based label Skam, with the follow-up album in 2015 'Refuge of a Twisted Soul'. 2018 saw a four track 'Live EP' release made up of exclusive versions of their Autechre supporting slot at the Great Northern Warehouse in Manchester,
Several years and various solo productions later, The Fear Ratio return with an album that solidifies their reputation as experimental producers. From the ethereal opening bars of 'Sender' slowly twisting into a brooding dub breakbeat, to the staccato, bugged out atmospherics of 'Grey Code', ghostly electronics of 'Small World', tripped out, schizophrenic hip hop haunting bass of 'Game Plan' and sun-dappled keys of 'The Final Vision' Broom & Ruskin flex their techno muscles ever further beyond the floor.

LIMITED 180G 2LP ON TRANSPARENT RED VINYL + BRAILLE STICKER
Afrodeutsche (Henrietta Smith-Rolla), is a British born Ghanaian/Russian/ German artist, composer, producer, and DJ based in Manchester.
Afrodeutsche is main support for Aphex Twin at the sold out Printworks show on 14th September:
https://www.printworkslondon.co.uk/listings/aphex-twin/
Afrodeutsche's DJ style is a synthesis of Drexciyan and Underground Resistance - inspired selections, intercut with a variety of forward thinking UK techno such as Bola and Lego Feet.
Her polyrhythmic compositions integrate a wide array of musical genres, including Afrofuturistic electro and techno, classical solo piano and Detroit legacy house; all memorable journeys into deep, abstracted sound.
Hosting a monthly radio show on the renowned NTS, Afrodeutsche entrances listeners with her idiosyncratic combinations of dark electro, breaks, footwork, ghetto tech and jacking house.
Forever evolving a fully live hardware show, Afrodeutsche has already appeared alongside celebrated producers Dopplereffekt and Carl Craig, with many more to come.
Her remix of Montreal producer Marie Davidson's 'Day Dreaming' was released earlier this year on Ninja Tune. 2019 sees her releasing genre-defying new material and touring across Europe, with appearances confirmed at Dekmantel (Amsterdam), SONAR (Barcelona), and Dimensions (Croatia).
Praised by the Guardian for enacting a new wave of club music, named by Dummy Mag as one of 2019's most exciting artists, Afrodeutsche's spectacular debut album 'Break before Make' will be released on all formats in the Autumn of 2019 on the legendary Skam label.

Skam Records are very proud to release an album of unheard tracks from one of our very first artists and it feels good to have him back home. Jega has always provided his own slant on the genre, with warm standout melodies and his always edgy solid beats driving it all. Its good to hear his machines working again after all these years. Jega returns with a selection of the year before his seminal first release (Ska006). A collection of unreleased tracks from 1995, recorded live to Cassette Tape and DAT, and gathered 20 years later to form "1995". This album provides a glimpse into the fledgling electronic music scene of the 90's. Jega has released three albums on PLANET MU.
