GRiNCH Tim B
Split EP V

We all agree that our next release is long overdue. Good news: up next is an EP by the infamous Bill & Ben duo from the UK. Having released heavy material under various monikers, the two are a dreamteam for our 003. We selected four rare cuts that match the Rota Bene vibe most and restored them from DATS for you. Our third release ranges from punchy dancefloor-orientated stuff, to music simply for the mind.

The third release from Edinburgh-based rave Headset, showcasing unsung Scottish artists making alternative house, techno, garage & breaks in dubby styles.Debut release for DJ Posture, straight outta Livingston, providing 4 tracks of spacey, deeper House & Beats.

Memento Records’ boss Idriss D goes back to his more experimental side on this release, pushing the boundaries like he did on his first Lunatic EP, coming up once again with another Jungle-infused mesmerizing piece of Electronica that mixes breakbeat influences with melodic soulful vibes.A very welcome follow up, aptly titled “Lunatic 2”, this tune is fiercely uptempo and energetic: the psychedelic melody swirls inside, outside and around your mind, while the fluid bass line counterparts the schizophrenic rhythm. On top of this, powerful emotional vocals take you into another dimension.The prestigious remix comes courtesy of Gilb’R, founder of Versatile Records and one half of Chateau Flight: a slower downtempo piece with an infectious, almost improvisational synth melody, with vocals taking center stage here, full of atmospheric sounds all over that land into a deep dreamy break.

The Don returns to the series to wipe off the cobwebs of another long lost UK tech-house EP. This time coming with a reissue of the Swag Records promo 3 tracker.Fine rolling tech house tracks that have reached super high prices online without much information around them.Limited to 300 copies.

The Humanoids are back in action with more music from the vibrant Liverpool scene, in the shape of a tasty EP from the in-demand Aerofunk.On the A-side, “Call Me” sets the vibe in style, weaving a big bass with hypnotic synths and an irresistible vocal sample that does the business on the dancefloor. “F.O.U.” follows up with a punch, its bassline bobbing and weaving around a crunchy beat with power.Over on the B-side, “Bumpin” keeps up the energy in naughty fashion, whilst “Hugh Mungus” gives a nod towards a more electro sound with relentless drum and synth work to round off a high energy EP full of bombs.
