ROD makes a welcome return to Soma Records for his first solo EP since he lent his hand to two powerful new school updates of Slam classic ‘Positive Education’. The Buikgrep EP delivers two jacking Techno monsters, delivered in ROD’s unique style. Think dark warehouses, strobe lights and fist pumps! Buikgrep kicks off the EP as a thunderous kick drum bumps its way over a syncopated hi-hat pattern while slowly mutated stabs work their way in over the track. Slowing in pace to the break where the drums fire back with full force, unrelenting to the end of the track. ROD has definitely designed this one for the dance floors. Second track Mission at first feels more on a house tip with a lighter sounding stab prevalent from the get go. Don’t let this fool you however as this track it just as jacking as the previous. The synth opens up into a typical ROD hypnotic loop whilst the drums once again rattle around with total ferocity! ROD is firmly placing himself in the top tier of the new school generation of Techno producers and these two dance floor bomb are testament to someone who has immersed themselves in dance music for well over a decade.

Little can we tell you about this mysterious character. Only that a famous DJ from RODterdam is behind this alter ego and that he did a very well received EP on Ben Klock's Klockworks earlier this year. The mysterious ROD enterns the Balans arena with an uncompromising, abstract techno affair. Little can we tell you about this mysterious character. Only that a famous DJ from RODterdam is behind this alter ego and that he did a very well received EP on Ben Klock?s Klockworks earlier this year. The music coming from this persona is one hundred percent puristic, stripped down, DJ tool Techno. With a capital T you have seen that right! No nonsense hypnotism as we rarely see it nowadays. Three or four sounds per track, each pushed and stretched inside out for maximum result. These tunes are made for dark, strobe lid cellars or underground techno temples such as Berghain. Techno is back and this is about as abstract and underground as it gets. We look forward to release more ROD records in the future.

Serious holy grail business on this rare 12-inch extended disco version of Lorraine Johnson - The More I Get, The More I Want on Prelude Records. Original copies of this promo-only cut will set you back £400+ and it doesn’t take a genius to work out why. Produced by Jesse Boyce and Moses Dillard and mixed by Rafael Charres the man behind the mixing desk for classics such as Rare Pleasure - Superfine Feeling and Keith Barrow - Turn Me Up, it’s a dream team cohort that created this Paradise Garage classic.

Backed with equally enthralling, Boyce and Dillard produced, Francois K mixed ‘Feed The Flame’, also loved by the Garage dance floor.

What can be said about this monstrous Disco Funk extravaganza from 1982? Well, plenty actually... the only entry in the mighty Prelude back catalogue from Michael Wilson, 'Groove It To Your Body' is what this music is all about, a proper dance record, drenched in the funk, a groove that just doesn't stop. The A-side is incredible, but it's really the b-side dub mix that steals the show. Francois Kevorkian, who was Prelude's A&R man at the time, mans the desk on both mixes, but for a truly stellar work-out the dub flips all of the essential ingredients into a stew of rumbling synth and tape feedback and deep space delay and echo. This mix could be seen as the template of what was to come, and is an all-out dancefloor wrecker. Try it! It doesn't get any better than this. A Disco essential. 2nd hand copies of this nugget go for serious wedge these days, now's your chance to snag an *official* licensed reissue from Prelude direct. All totally Above Board! Do it! A. Groove It To Your Body (Vocal), B. Groove It To Your Body (Instrumental)

The very first legitimate reissue of this stellar 1977 Disco set on the legendary NYC Prelude label. 'Disconnection' is a rare beast, a studio group effort headed up by Robert Lee Holmes Jr., a man who had worked on numerous Soul, Funk & even Jazz titles in his native Nashville and beyond. A true underrated stalwart of Southern R&B, Holmes assembled a still mystery cast of musicians to craft this strange one-off LP. Who were the players? Where were they from? The whole release comes off as an almost 'Library' style LP with tracks short, and to the point. There is not a second or drop of Funk that is wasted throughout, proving that a little can go a long way! The music contained within is masterfully produced and arranged, it's obvious that whoever was drafted in by Holmes to realise his vision was the creme of the crop in terms of musicianship. This be the sound of the dancefloor, or the food for the starving sampler right here. Brilliant. The mystery around this fantastic LP is retained, even now in 2019 where this record is much sought after by collectors and diggers across the world. It's understandable why, this one has it all on paper, but most importantly it has the Funk in spades! Often bootlegged, to very low standards, here is your chance to own a truly unique record - fully legit! An Above Board distribution / Prelude Records collaboration. The first of many, keep them peeled!
