We've not been able to get to the bottom of who Kenny Burns is (or at least this one - there was a famous Nottingham Forest footballer of the same name in the dim and distant past), and 89: Ghost main man Neil Tolliday is keeping tight-lipped. Either way, this label debut from the man of mystery includes some genuinely impressive moments. Picturesque closer 'Crease', where dreamy chords and kaleidoscopic synth sounds rise and fall atop an unfussy dancefloor beat, reminded us of Nail's own 1993 cut 'Cassiopeia', while 'Crank' is a thrusting slab of early morning techno peppered with squelchy acid motifs, chiming electronics and loopy, mind-mangling riffs. Elsewhere, 'Croak' is an angular slab of warped techno intensity, and opener 'Creak' is a hypnotic neo-trance number. More

89:Ghost rather gingerly presents to you an EP from head gonk Nail - 3 tracks taken from the digital only release "U-Dubs" from 2015, plus an extra unreleased dub from that time. Hopefully this may encourage the miserable git to make some new tracks... watch this space. But for the time being, spark up a zug and chew on these four meaty badboys. Peace - Nx More

89:Ghost are thrilled to bring you an EP from talented Finnish producer Vesa-Matti, with an EP that could be a dub techno soundtrack to a Finnish sealife documentory, here's some direct info : "Tracks were written & produced by Vesa-Matti Kivioja in Vaasa, Finland, between 2011-2017 in three different locations, Highsquare Sound, Studio K & Seafront Mixingroom" : We seriously dig this dude, try check out his other, more ambient work too if you can.

For the 9th release, 89:GHOST are proud to present an EP from Berlin-based Japanese producer & DJ, Tomoki Tamura, founder of the legendary HOLIC nights and of course the HOLIC TRAX label..Included on the Quiet Air Gun EP are 4 dense, weighty trax of TT's moody and slightly weird but definitely dance music, something that drew your friend and humble label boss to approach the man, as we like 'moody and slightly weird' around here.. make no mistake though, these are tunes for the feet as well as the heart & mind.

4 unreleased cuts by Nail, echoing perhaps the more jacked-up moments of his ""Big D's Lounge"" lp that was released on DiY that same year. Speaking from his tent pitched outside the Oswestry service station goods entrance, he recalled; ""I have no memory of making these tracks"". 300 on clear vinyl, no repress
