New Jersey's Green Village imprint return with the second Village Elders compilation, comprising four original cuts from Thefft/TOYC, BD1982, Eighth Ruin and Etch. Since 2014 Cloy, Em-Et and Hilla's Green Village vinyl only imprint has acted as a beacon for forward thinking house, techno and bass music genre's alike, recruiting DJ Spider, Franklin De Costa, Dakini9, Nicuri, plus more. Now stepping up with Village Elders 002, Green Village utilise a group of versatile UK producers including Embassy's Thefft alongside Crazylegs' TOYC, Keysound's break scientist Etch, mysterious producer Eighth Ruin, and Tokyo based BD1982 who co-runs Diskotopia. Thefft and TOYC's 'Atlantic' opens the package with syncopated rhythms laced with jittery organic hits, before spiralling sonics and twisted melodies get hooked into a rattling 808 sub line. BD1982 then steps up with 'In '95', utilising sparse rhythms alongside tightly programmed loops and synthetic ambience to create a 16-bit atmosphere before employing rolling subs to propel the cut forward. Eighth Ruin then ups the ante with razor sharp percussion in 'Whip', which pulsates along its waveform thanks to a warm undulating bass, aided by IDM-tinged synth breakdowns and pitched down vocals. Etch then delivers his new-wave break science in 'Predator', layering loops alongside a hypnotic reese in tandem with menacing vocals and glistening atmospherics. Village Elders 002 drops on Green Village on 25th July 2017.

After releases from the likes of Dakini9, Fox and Franklin Da Costa, it was only natural that Jersey City-based label Green Village would turn to DJ Spider for a new 12 inch. Well, it seems natural to us, in any case. The NYC artist is now a respected member of the Big Apple's contemporary house and techno wave, and it's an absolute must for him to be represented on the city's bubbling scene, especially when he's up for firing off tunes like "Space Jungle" and Satsang", two mean, club-minded house bangers with a prominent lower-end. "Divide & Conquer" turns things darker and more ominous thanks to its icy, minimal approach - a cold blend of stripped-back beats and circling bass tones - while "Urantia Of Nebadon" displaces the traditional house framework in favour of a dark, molecular selection of electronic sounds guided by a simple pattern of 4/4 beats. Classic Spider material...

After five years of throwing parties under the name Green Villain, the label Green Village was founded in 2014. Their second release, Come Through For Me features a single from New York City based DJ/Producer, Policy. Following his two recent albums on 100% silk in 2013, and Rush Hour in 2012, this will be his last release for 2014. The flip features a more dance floor friendly remix by London based, Thefft which focuses on predominant percussion and off beat bass stabs.
