Dub Techno Vinyl 10 Inch 7 Items

Emergent polymath Brother Aten makes his first outing on Bruk with an icy slice of system-ready minimalism, guided by the cooly detached voice of Ze R. Taking cues from cult sci-fi and early 80s no wave, Fragmented Dystopia is a crystal clear statement trimmed of all unnecessary baggage. The title spells out the mood — Aten's soundscapes are stark and synthetic machine mantras punched out on outboard instruments navigating gritty, futuristic zones. On 'Unavailable' steadily humming drones shape the space in which Ze R. hovers, initially delivering a deadpan denial before their humanity sneaks in as the track snakes through an intricate lattice of crisp digital percussion. Short and razor-sharp two-parter 'Fragmented Dystopia' finds an even sparser corner to occupy within Aten's subtly cyberpunk vision, where Ze R.'s scattered words cut a measured figure delivered at acute angles before breaking into wilder forms at the end of Part 2.

Originally from Brooklyn and now based in Berlin, Brother Aten has been weaving a fascinating tapestry of audio and visual work as MAF. His artwork examines the fraught relationship between technology and society. Ze R. explores dimensions of sexuality, subjectivity and individualism through writing, performance and community organisation.

A re-work by Mark Ernestus of the opener of Honest Jons' new LP by the Obadikah brass band, from Lagos. Consummate Berlin dub science by the maestro. Beautifully textured, shuffling Lagos funk, on home-made percussion… militant, parping horns... and a walloping, filthy-stinking kick-drum like the bucking, hairy hind-most of the Devil himself.

For this new release, Roger Gerressen delivers a beautiful two tracker from future electro to dub techno. This is the generic sleeve version of the Origami Edition.

O$vmv$m the Bristol based production duo of Amos Childs (Jabu) and Sam Barrett (Kahn & Neek) have traditionally dealt in hazy, smoked out vignettes - seen across release for Idle Hands, No Corner and most recently providing music for the Manonmars LP. Where the duos previous work has explored ideas in short bursts which capture you then fades away; Idle063 takes their sound into unexplored directions and shows an evolution in their output. By extending their ideas into long form tracks within the traditional lineage of bristol soundsystem culture and combining it with their unique ear for sampling Phase 4 / Witch brings O$vmv$m's into a territory which shows how wide their sound can truly reach

For the 004 release we teamed up with roots singer 'Kojo Neatness' delivering that true Kingston reggae vibe. Vocals wererecorded in the mythical 'Caveman Studio' in Jamaica with the help of the great late Nazamba.
