Stepping Through Thyself

When is the future? She was last seen looking for a way to pass that one testpressing to a DJ in the club, dancing with her girlfriends and stayed at T's flat while we were all overfeeding Frida the cat. I said I don't have an electric grinder. We bumped into her dad, I pretended that I understood what they spoke about (I kind of did), then biked away and contemplated fun she strived to have and to provide. She came back early though. Shjva hails from Lutsk, Ukraine and organizes parties and get-togethers in Warszawa now. Her sound is supposed to be minimal yet at times gently overwhelming (spores! spoooores! the room is suddenly full of spores!). She's 1/2 of analogue live duo ПЛАН and will pinch you when you're not looking.

Len Lewis is a name that only the more well versed house heads will know. He recorded these tunes way back in the late nineties and early noughties. He has recently been digging in his vaults from that time and has lined up a series of releases of unheard bits and this is the first for Fake Records. 'Macrobe' is a freaky and chunky house tune with gritty textures, 'Knickers In Ya Cornflakes' is then even more rude and sleazy thanks to its mega raw edge, and 'Cosmic Rays' is a mechanical groove workout with serene pads softening it up. 'Pick It Up' is the most funky and elastic of the lot, and it closes out a hugely versatile and high impact EP.
