Uzuri is proud to present this first release of 2011 – a sweet four tracker from a crew you may not have encountered before.Pittsburgh Track Authority is a stateside three-piece comprising Preslav Lefterov, Thomas Cox ( Who is responsible for the excellent “Infinitestatemachine” Blog ) and Adam Ratana – three longtime friends and musical compatriots who have, between them, been submerged in music and music production for many years. Collectively, this project is a rather more recent endeavour, though you wouldn’t necessarily guess that from these accomplished and self-assured tracks.First up, Duskshaped (a collaboration with fellow Pittsburgh native, Nice Rec), lays down the smooth, organic feel of the release, with some serious bass and keys pressure.Vertical Impact is a straight-up head-nodder – slow and moody; crackling drum samples and a gradually mounting set of synths that blow the track up to several times its original size. Not feeling any pressure to pick up the pace, Bloodlands pits crisp tones over shuffling drums and a thick-set bottom end, eventually giving way to an insistent, chanted call to the floor.77B concludes things for this release – once again with some incredibly infectious bass and organ work. Some classy strings complete the picture, over a restrained drum machine workout.‘The First Four’, then, but certainly not the last. You heard it here first.

The third of three samplers, comprised of selected tracks taken from Spencer Parker's new album, ‘Dance Music’ out via his own label Work Them Records.
“There was no real concept behind the album, all I knew is that I wanted to do something honest. The tracks I make are the tracks I play in my sets and tracks I want people to dance to - that’s where the title comes from.” - Spencer Parker.
'Cruising Control' hits you hard from the off with a melting pot of industrial kicks, shuffling hats and expansive stabs. Following in a similar vein 'Remember' carries that same aesthetic with the addition of some throwback keys and a hypnotic vocal sample.
On the flip 'Cash Only' keeps on the Berlin techno tip that has been a common theme running through the LP, combining a ruthless, fist pumping beat with wobbly, mesmerising synthwork, sure to get the bodies moving.
To close out the last of the samplers, Parker conjures up those insular moments caught alone in the crowd, with nothing but the music to focus on. And with that provides the perfect tone to end this "Dance Music" sampler on, an LP Parker has created with the intention of making people dance firmly at the forefront of his mind.

The second of three samplers, comprised of selected tracks taken from Spencer Parker's new album, ‘Dance Music’ out via his own label Work Them Records.
“There was no real concept behind the album, all I knew is that I wanted to do something honest. The tracks I make are the tracks I play in my sets and tracks I want people to dance to - that’s where the title comes from.” – Spencer Parker.
Part Two of the sampler opens with the uncompromising club cut & rave inspired 'The Power. Next up, the stuttering ‘Nights And Weekends’ is a nod to electro that has boundless energy & really shows off the respected DJ and producer's diverse production skills.
Kicking off the B side, ‘Girl...' takes in the old school European techno sound relentless in its arrangement & firmly aimed at big dark spaces.
The melodic ‘Emotional Tendencies’ closes out the second of Parker’s ‘Dance Music’ offering an introspective and deep side to the LP and highlights another facet of Parker's productions.

Part One of the sampler opens with ‘It Was Just A Dream’, a ghostly cauldron of glitches, bleeps and sound bites that locks you into a dazed state of hypnosis. Next up, ‘The Oh’ hits with a taste of classic house, marrying emotive stabs, a tough kick and fizzing ride cymbals.
On the B side, ‘You’re Under My Control Now’ takes the sound industrial combining a Kraftwerk-esque metronomic breath with rapid fire toms and a dynamic kick. ‘Absolutely Raving’ closes out the first of Parker’s ‘Dance Music’ samplers offering a rave leaning techno weapon that wouldn’t be out of place in the hallowed grounds of Berghain.

Russian producer Valya Kan debuts on Spencer Parker’s Work Them Records with a four track sampler from her subterranean album ‘Dust And Haze’.
‘Leave’ opens up the sampler with tantalising synths and dubby effects before you're lead into ‘Promises’ featuring Valya Kan’s voice, uttering the track title whilst syncopated percussion and ghostly atmospherics work their magic. Flip it over and you're hit with the whirring sci-fi elements and rattling samples in ‘Smoke In The Cockpit’. Rounding off the sampler ‘Acid Hotel’ is a more up-tempo, demonstrating rolling arpeggios and snappy snares.

London-based producer, DJ, promoter and venue owner Dan Beaumont drops an imaginative and esoteric house single titled 'Spirit Talkin'' on Work Them Records with a remix from label founder Spencer Parker. The man behind Dalston Superstore, Dance Tunnel, the Chapter 10 warehouse parties, an NTS radio show and releases on the likes of Classic, No Fit State and Disco Bloodbath - one word to describe Dan Beaumont is multifaceted. ‘Spirit Talkin'' sees him deliver a lengthy dancefloor cut with a heady groove and intricate drum patterns joined by penetrating vocal wails that emit feeling throughout. His 'Beaumont Beats' version keeps things percussive in a classic NY drum track style, whilst Spencer Parker's 'Workmix' raises the tempo with a strong emphasis on kicks before slowly introducing energetic chords and the powerful vox.

Following standout tracks and remixes from Radio Slave, Rødhåd and Parker himself, 'Golden Boy' is in good company on Work Them. Work Them Records welcomes Concrete (Paris) residents The Outsiders to the fold with a three track EP dropping this October. Behzad, Amarou and Antigone make up The Outsiders, a French trio who have been the subject of enthusiastic support from Work Them boss, Spencer Parker, for a couple of years now. From the heavily swung 909 grooves of 'Golden Boy' and 'The Magic River' to the spaced out 'Epiphany', this release combines heady, deep tones with real driving power. The 3 track ep that blurs the lines between house and techno. Paris, is most definitely in the house !

Radio Slave follows up last years 'Repeat Myself' on Spencer Parker's Work Them Records with a 12' entitled 'Werk' set to drop on 2nd June. Drawn out hypnotic cuts are Radio Slave specialities and with 'Werk' and his previous Work Them outing he delivers his trademark with unflinching confidence. The two full tracks on the EP take simple vocal samples and cast iron grooves and stretches them drum-skin tight while two accapella versions make for irresistible DJ play. While 'Werk' marries its eponymous vocal with shuffling, scraping percussion and little else to create a timeless jacking house dub the flip side's 'Jus Werk' evokes Dan Bell minimalism with fluttering, mechanical sine wave sequences
