Young Echo's Vessel & Chester Giles present their most vigorous work to date, following on from the quickfire 10" for FuckPunk last year. New age punk, broken electronics, modern poetry, noise music, crushed dancehall - call it whatever you like. but whatever you do – when you are faced with the abyss make sure you listen carefully and take it for all it represents. No streamline bollocks or trend-latching. This is unedited, unadulterated music made by two individuals, with no aims to please or adhere, no intention to hide.

After a steady emission of ‘floor material from Hodge on Berceuse Heroique, Livity Sound and Hotline Recordings, we are proud to present a three track 12” containing a prime choice of Hodge’s more esoteric cuts.
“Body Drive on the A Side comes off with a cyberpunk techno edge, not far from the Lily material on our label, but we couldn’t leave this to reside on cassette, we witnessed Body Drive as a standout from his set at Freerotation last year, and decided that it’s destiny is surely to be fulfilled on big speakers in a dancefloor setting.
With ‘A Break In The Building’ we found a perfect suit with which to finalise the run of the A side, as an off-centre gravitation towards a deeper, wholly rewarding side to his productions.
The final cut on this disc – and by no means just a B Side – is ’Personality Shift’.
It packs that trademark groove that Pev, Hodge and perhaps even Don’t DJ have been pushing, but it manages to leave out obvious kick drum patterns and it lets the polyrhythmic arpeggios shape the momentum, exercising a masterful kind of restraint which works wonders in the mix, and makes for great listening on your hifi.”
Another fine, fine addition to the ever-growing, always glowing eclecticism of the NoCorner catalogue!

Glowing with the same unsettling hum as the neon signage on the cover, Nightlife In Tokyo is a series of flickering scenes that burn with increasing intensity – Nine Sketches of darkside cyberspace, tortured machine soul burned into chrome.
It’s a cross continental deciphering of fizzing electronics, fragmented speech, claustrophobic atmospheres and sodium vapour-drenched chords.
Furiously penned, half-remembered notes from the streets of Tokyo are re-imagined through a tangled nest of cables and crackling faders in any number of offline locations – this is wet pavements reflecting street signage and dank doorways offering after hours thrills for the adventurous.
Lily returns for the sequel. Plug into Nightlife In Tokyo…

One of the most criminally underrated producers in Bristol, who has been steadily carving his own niche over the years, touches down on NoCorner.
Death Drums is the result of an idea floated back in 2014, a freewheeling exploration of tempo, texture and rhythm split over 6 tracks and laid down on magnetic tape, primed for sonic exploration.
It’s a cross-pollination of Detroit machine soul sensibility with the refined thump of Berlin’s most notorious institutions (which have witnessed him throw down mammoth sets over the years), smashed into the red and brought back to life with the nonchalant twang of the industrial pioneers – In equal parts Cabaret Voltare and OmarS.
Death Drums treads a path between sandblasted electro and sublimely tape-saturated techno, developing ideas from his earlier work on Applepips, following on from last year’s album on Skudge White and fusing them into an intensely rewarding trip – Ruff drums and ferrous basses contrasted by ethereal synth lines and crystalline arpeggios. Unmistakable and inimitable October magic.
Edition of 150. Comes with DL code. Printed dark clear cassettes. Printed card inlay, two different colour variations. Artwork designed by Studio Tape-Echo.
