Originally released back in 2006 „Oar“ marked not only the first release on the Leipzig based underground label Minor for the Romanian producer x sound artist Octavian Justinian Uta a.ka. YVAT but also the beginning of a more than eight years lasting collaboration which led to multiple vinyl releases on the label, both solo and in artistic joint ventures.
With this special 3“ CD release - a rare format in itself - with its foam folder held in place by an obi adjacent paper strip YVAT presents a unique sonic vision which still holds up today:
crunchy Electronica Phonk rhythms meet crystalline percussive melodies in the title track whereas „Slusher“ takes on decaying Glitch Rave for the tripped out whistle crew time travelling backwards from the year 2378 before „Adrift“ amalgamates Future Phonk and swampy Dope Beats, „Lash“ brings on Electronica-driven crimescene vibes, serving a top notch instrumental backdrop for adventurous freestyle MC's and „Leer“ finally harks back to classic metallic glitches and crunchy, yet subdued polyrhythms.
Five tracks and roughly 16 minutes of musical goodness well suitable for the recent Electronica / IDM revival.
Never officially distributed before and available limited quantities only.
Limited edition of 100 copies. 3“ MiniCD in Special Foam Folder Packaging.
Points of reference: 90s Electronica, Autechre, Funkstörung

File under: Electronica / Phonk / Bass Music / IDM
Originally released in 2012 the "Collider EP" by Romanian producer x sound artist YVAT caters a hefty set of six tracks for advanced, yet bass aware and low end loving late night dancefloors. Fractured IDM meets HyperPhonk, dense layers of slightly off-kilter synths, fragmented echoes of Bass Music and Post-Glitchstep, scattered remnants of Drum'n'Bass, cheeky vaporchrome melodies and highly detailed structures, all bound and glued together by gnarly, oftentimes overwhelming sawtooth synth basslines for the braindance crew. This sounds like a WARP Records release that never happened.
Press quote:
"[....] this one can be best described as a conjunctional work of Autechre and Aphex Twin, teaming up with the likes of Michael Forshaw on a dark'ish, but still melodic structure of Industrial patterns. Heavy, but still accessable and even spiced up with a slice of humour, a release to hunt down and watch out for - hard to find but important for the collection of an open minded spirit."

Never officially distributed before and available in limited quantities only.
Limited edition of 150 copies. White vinyl pressing.

Yamaoka - B1: Low
Format: 7“. Blue Vinyl. Limited Edition.
No returns! No consignment.
Tracklist
A1: Sion
B1: Low
Info:
No returns. No consignment
File under: Techno / Experimental Techno / Japan.
With releases on now legendary labels like Kazumi or Holzplatten the Japanese producer
Yamaoka has been rooted in the Techno scene since the late 90s, even though the stylistic
range of his entire body of work over the past decades exceeds pure dancefloor
functionality by far. Originally released via the Leipzig-based underground label Minor in
2017 the two tracks on this super limited 7“ vinyl release capture a raw, hounded and
unpolished high octane take on Techno which is rarely to be found these days with
especially the B-side cut „Low“ presenting an absolute peaktime weapon for the
adventurous and experienced DJ's out there.
Never officially distributed before and only known and recognized by a few well informed
selectors out there this is the first time ever this unrecognized gem is available to a wider
audience, albeit in highly limited quantities.
Limited pressing of 100 single copies on blue vinyl.
