Tracklist :
A1. Echo Walk
A2. Boppin Lower
B1. Gold Tooth
B2. There We Were
C1. Square Down Smoother
C2. Mean Time
D1. Lava In You

Short info:
Losoul returns to action with his first long player in almost ten years, and delivers a stunning collection of
compositions for the Hypercolour released “Island Time”.
Otherwise known as Peter Kremeier, the German producer has mesmerized us for many years with his organic
and emotive house music, largely released on the influential Playhouse label, but of late has seen him release
singles for Karat and Tardis Records, as well as his very own Another Picture label.
Fans of Losoul won’t be disappointed, as a diverse yet utterly familiar sound aesthetic pours out over the album’s
seven tracks in his own inimitable style. The jazzy broken beats of “Gold Tooth” shine with their micro-sample
chops, whilst “Mean Time” is a dense and dubby slow stomp, teasing the drums with space echo and injecting
sparse bass work where it matters. Inventive, spongy house grooves are delivered on “Boppin Lower” and
“Square Down Smoother” whilst the album closer, “Lava In You” is a master class in ambient sonics and
shimmering keys over a lo-fi swinging groove.
It’s been over 20 years since Losoul’s signature single “Open Door”, and the German producer continues to pour
out honest and rewarding music.

Tracklist 12”:
A1. Artin (Original Mix)
A2. Cahen
B1. Artin (Zenker Brothers Remix)
B2. Brown
Short info:
As proprietors’ of the Will & Ink label, Yaleesa Hall & Malin Genie have been maintaining a busy
and consistent release schedule of top notch techno sounds, largely releasing their own, well received,
productions. The duo appeared on Hypercolour’s “10 Years” compilation in 2016 with the
excellent “Buchan Trap”, and we’ve been blessed to secure a full single release with the on-point
pair.
The mechanical funk of “Artin” swings with plenty of assured groove; the shuffling hats, dense kicks
and dubby stabs that ping pong across this fierce production mark this out as a real killer cut.
Dario & Marco Zenker, AKA the Zenker Brothers, take time out from their busy Ilian Tape
operations to remix “Artin” into a brutal yet funky techno goliath. Congas perpetually roll forward,
with frenetic 909 hats and raw and ready stabs in what may well be one of the Zenker’s finest remixes
to date.
The essence of funk continues in Hall & Malin’s music, with “Cahen”, a great slab of compelling
techno that never slips too far into darkness, instead keeping an ever evolving groove and some
abstract drone like synthesis to keep the mood buoyant.
Wrapping up the release is “Brown”, a track that finishes as urgently as it starts, perhaps with a cap
doffed to the Purpose Maker sounds of a certain Jeff Mills, but broadening the palette to allow
some trippy sound architecture and an effective breakdown mid way through.
Modern day techno supplied by a duo that will most certainly flourish over the coming months,
Yaleesa Hall & Malin deliver the goods aplomb on this Hypercolour single.

B1. Peruvian Gold, B2. Forest Surge, B3. Antiexist
C1. A Blind Girl Drinks Ayawaska, C2. Skateboarding in the Jungle, C3. When We All Break Down ft. Joni
D1. Mirrors ft. Tanaya Harper, D2. Sepa Inca Delirium

Short info:
Having given us a taster of things to come back in September 2016, with the ‘Pressing Matters’ single, The
Cyclist returns to Hypercolour with a brand new, full length album. And as the title suggests, “Sapa Inca
Delirium” leans heavily on South American mysticism, not just musically, but in the visual imagery that the
eleven-track album paints so well across its various tempos and rhythms.
From the tropical burst of mood setting opener, “Go Back” to the steamy and pacey percussive flow of
“Inhale/Exhale” which features regular collaborator Tanaya Harper on vocals, The Cyclist’s fourth long
player is crammed full of intriguing atmospheres and soundscapes.
“Antiexist”, with its down-tempo rolling snare fills and ethereal Gregorian chanting segues effortlessly into “A
Blind Girl Drinks Ayawaska”, a suitably discordant and hallucinogenic skit that ensures the album flows into the
more rhythmic cuts like “Skateboarding In The Jungle” and “Mirrors” (the second album cut to feature Harper
on vocals).
Even the traditional jazzier vibes of “When We All Break Down” featuring Joni are kept rugged and boisterous,
with heavyweight bending bass, choppy breakbeats and FX’d ambience amongst the smooth jazzy chords and
sweet vocal delivery.
“Sapa Inca Delirium” is one of those albums that will reward on repeat listen, such is the diversity of style on
show here, and the detailed and wide eyed curiosity offered up across the long player’s fifty three minutes.

Tracklist 12”:
A1. Lucretio – Higher & Higher
A2. Lucretio – Give Out
B1. Marieu – Hit The Power
B2. Marieu – XA Swing
Short info:
Lucretio and Marieu, AKA The Analogue Cops, are certainly no strangers to Hypercolour, having
previously released three singles for our Hypercolour and HypeLTD labels over the last few years.
The duo are back again for the “Flimsy Output” EP, following a run of well received EPs on Memento,
Moondance and the Sabotage label.
Lucretio steps up with the first of two killer tracks. On “Higher & Higher”, we are served up some
prime time underground vocal house vibes; a filtered vocal and string combo flourishes around a hefty
kick drum whilst acidic bleeps rain down in a true warehouse style. On “Give Out”, Lucretio opts for
more astute sampling, wrapping a soulful vocal around a loping percussive beat and incessant keys,
taking things right back to the raw power of house music.
On the flip, Marieu reduces the BPMs on “Hit The Power” for a lazy, shuffling jam that manipulates
film dialogue and shifting micro beats, all pinned down under a hulking bassline. Jacking things back
up for “XA Swing”, Marieu deploys reverberating beats, garage light organs and transposed vocal
refrains for a real old school soulful jam that evokes shades of classic Moodyman, Nick Holder etc.
Another set of first class tracks from The Analogue Cops then, bringing their gritty yet funky
warehouse house vibes back to Hypercolour!

RELEASE INFO
In early 2023, Tresor Records will reissue the sole output from Shifted Phases entitled The Cosmic Memoirs Of The Late Great Rupert J. Rosinthrope. Initially released in 2002, soon after James Stinson passed away, this LP plays a mysterious and compelling role in the Drexciya journey. While other records of Drexciya and related projects have received numerous reprints and editions, The Cosmic Memoirs... has remained out of print since its release. This rarity leaves it more open to interpretation with its place in the Drexciyan storm series, as it became increasingly hard to find and underexplored.
Track titles Solar Wind, White Dwarf, and Lonely Journey of the Comet Bopp reveal a focus on cosmic realms, suggesting a link with the Drexciya LP Grava 4 that moves from the underwater to the galactic. As it launches with mechanical blows on a precise orbit, each repetition entrenches the gravitational pull in the galaxy of Shifted Phases. In many places, it sounds like the readout of frequencies harvested from outer space, pockmarked with packet loss from the millions of kilometres distance travelled.
The music is hard to contain, intuitively restless in motion through its unfolding universe and achingly resonant. It shapeshifts across aectedly melodic sequences such as in Lonely Journey..., to the sparse, hard-hitting timbres found in Alien Vessel Distress Call and the mangled reverse vocals in The Freak Show, somewhat reminiscent of another Drexciya side-project, Glass Domain. The mythology of Drexciya is evident in how keenly James Stinson and Gerald Donald created their imaginary worlds. In Crossing Of The Sun-Ra Nebula, there is an undisputable reference to another Afro-futurist who delved deep into a galaxy of their own making.
This reissue does not merely close the loop on Tresor's reissue series of the Drexciya catalogue but brings Shifted Phases to fresh ears more than other records. Accompanied by newly commissioned artwork from Matthew Angelo Harrison, the 3xLP vinyl reissue also features the tracks Crossing Of The Sun-Ra Nebula and Alien Vessel Distress Call, which were previously only on the original CD release.
