As always Lopkin is 100% on point with his opener, the Detroit influenced, tom driven, driving techno banger 'McStay The Maestro'.
Minimal piece 'Ignorance and Want' follows...a dark swirling adventure through the sonic spectrum with a heavy a rolling bassline at the foundation, plus rolling sub, and white noise blips.
On the flip, we are honoured to welcome Donarra to the Bokhari stable with two beautifully crafted cuts.
'Frequences Test' is a is a low flying electro outing a la vintage Drexciya with a dark cinematic feel, conjuring up visions of gliding through an empty dystopian future city landscape on a planet far from home.

Another top notch Bokhari outing! Stephen is a Scotsman but sounds like he is from Detroit - he was also on BK013 where he shared an EP with Hiver and provided us with the excellent 'Theme from SAPL'. This time he's on his own... Early 90's UK Electronica and of course, the inescapable Detroit blueprint run deep through this one, the unmistakably chewy, tangible heft of analogue sonics married perfectly with emotive melodies.
A welcome whiff of Azymuth era Kenny Larkin clings to the whole EP, while Cologne collective Noorden regular Ikpathua lays out a spacious and deeply atmospheric rendition too...

Frankfurt's finest joins Bokhari with a nod to 90's LTJ Bukem coming at you with the kinda track that would've taken the doors off your XR2 : ] Remixes come from a Pepe Braddock-eque Dorylus, and a steroid-induced banger from the one and only Capracara. Mastered by Matt Colton. Artwork by Spencer Fenton, with each sleeve featuring a uniquely ordered combination of hand applied coloured stickers.

13 is unlucky for some but this could well be the strongest Bokhari EP to date ! Hardware fanatics Hiver illustrate the power of simplicity when matched with perfect production on their two hypnotic slabs of goodness. Lopkin's Theme from SAPL sounds like a missing cut from Autechre's classic Incunabula, and according to Laurent Garnier Speedbird Heavy is 'proper, deep moody Techno' What's not to like ? Limited vinyl pressing - custom made sleeve

Another Various Artists special from the mighty Bokhari camp... Two fresh tracks from the Lord Lucan-esque disappearing Russian, Kirill Tipo, whom we've been chasing since 2012! Creta Kano on the flip gives us a slice of electro that sounds like it could have been made in 1988, with a bassline that'll be in your head for days. Still high from the Scott Grooves props of his last venture with Bokhari, Joe Europe returns with another slice of deepness for those who like some musical content in their house !

The mighty Bohari return with another in their split-single series, showcasing new and exciting artists. We have no idea who Barrut Fulsara is and he won't tell us a thing - all we know is that he has been in the game for a long time, and that this new moniker is for his excursions into deeper territory.
We're just happy he chose Bokhari as the outlet. Joe Europe on the flip delivers the kind of synth-laden quirky house that we love at Bokhari and we're pleased for this beautiful track to finally see the light of day...

It's safe to say GAMM are on an extended roll ! One of our consistently best-selling labels starts 2014 with another solid release. This time Turbojazz makes his his debut, with two heavy tunes. We start of with Que Pasa, a latin boogie number with a strong feel-good appeal…summer music! The second tune has a pretty famous jazz-bossa sample that most cats with a history of digging probably might recognize - possibly the best piano loop ever? Anyway, put this on and we're pretty sure all the jazz heads will get down like never before. GAMM is GAMMin' away as we say ;)

Big tracks alert! - The third release from the vinyl only Bokhari label with two new artists appearing on a hand screen printed ltd edition 10". Igor Jadranin brings you a heavy dose of percussive, groove-laden house music, packed with tension, swirling sirens, and melodic synth stabs. The ‘for just one thing’ vocal refrain burrows it’s way into your head, before morphing into an inspired neo-soul breakdown. On the flip Glitchell Moore's Skadarlija is an infectious slice of warm, intergalactic deep house. A lost, echo-laden vocal glides in and out of the track, whilst hypnotic keys and a lingering bassline give proceedings a lush, trippy feel. Not a million miles from the nostalgia tinged future boogie of a certain Space Dimension Controller, perfect music for the twilight hours.

Bokhari Records is a vinyl only label. Bokhari has been inspired by Mo' Wax of old, and Firecracker of present where care was/is also taken on packaging and design. Each release will feature a different illustrator / artist for the design. A very strong and varied 12 for the second release from Bokhari. 300 copies, vinyl only, and featuring wild 3D hand drawn artwork by nocturnal illustrator Ben Cook AKA Synthetics. Siafu's Slunk Dub starts proceedings with a slow, deep, languid house groove, propelled forward by a motoring bassline, murky acid grooves and insanely catchy keys. Acid House survivor Neville Watson's remix is tinged with nostalgia. Slow building mid-90's piano riffs give way to a nagging acid groove and epic synths. Retro futurism of the highest order. On the flip unknown Croatian producer Disrupted Project's 1.2 is an infectious slab of ocean deep, grainy dub techno. Drenched in warm bass and swimming in static - if Basic Channel had stepped it up a notch, this may have been the result.
Label owners Siafu provide a dub mix utilizing a minitaur bass.

Bokhari Records is a vinyl only label. Bokhari has been inspired by Mo' Wax of old, and Firecracker of present where care was/is also taken on packaging and design. Each release will feature a different illustrator / artist for the design. Musically we will aim to stick loosely within the realms of house and techno, but often with our own slant on it; and as the first release shows, in this case will include some afro percussion and a touch of acid. Bokhari 001 Only 300 copies will be pressed. Artwork for release 001 is by the excellent illustrator Andy Potts (former head of design at Abbey Road Studios), and every single vinyl will be signed and numbered. Remix comes from the ever consistent Mark E, who has taken the Shrunken Head bassline and made a 10 minute druggy, chuggy, loopy, creepy monster (and anything else you want with a 'y' at the end!)
