In 1992 Aphrodite had already enjoyed chart success via his group Urban Shakedown. Rave was progressing quickly into Hardcore and Aphrodite wanted to stay on top of the pile by cranking out the releases. He was constantly touring and could see first-hand how the music was evolving and to keep one step ahead of the curve he needed to create a fresh output for his music. Aphrodite Recordings came together in 1992 and the debut release was ‘Raw Motion/Dub Motion’. A sought after release within the secondhand collectors market, Aphrodite has teamed up with Vinyl Fanatiks to make it available again on a repress. The sound of 1992 never sounded so good!

Off the back of the response to my first self-release, I’m very excited to present to you Breaka002. We start off with ‘Liquid Gold’, a fairly explosive sunny day groover. I hope to hear this one sound-tracking many a small gathering over the next few months. ‘Ease Up’ draws you in with a melancholic Rhodes riff, building slowly back to a more euphoric head high in the second half. ‘Steeze Flex’ combines Brazilian percussion, a dubby bassline and dreamy trumpet lines delivered by Ethan Landin.

We were very proud to release Titus 12’s debut physical release early last year, and we are just as proud to present his second ZamZam.  Longtime host of Ujima 98 FM’s Subsession radio show out of Bristol, and the hand behind new cassette label Limbo Tapes, Pete Hazell is well-known in his city as a purveyor of deep, eclectic, bass-centric music of many hues and shades… his myriad influences alchemically combine into a signature sound that is as unmistakeable as it is difficult to pin down.  In a world of cookie-cutter soundworlds Titus 12 conjures something truly personal and magical and makes it sound effortless.   

“Summon Luxo” opens with raw vinyl archaeology, managing to wed a humid, plaintive, layered vocal chop to a sultry boom bap riddim, with so much swing and space you’ll swoon under its strange power. Titus 12 says, "Summon Luxo came about after falling in love with a recording of an Ethiopian funeral song, and the suggestion that the singer might be summoned to a funeral from many miles away, because of the calibre of his lament." Intertwining melodies, sophisticated vocal manipulations, deeply elastic bass and ethereal ragga flavor complete an absolutely unique and captivating tune you’ll want to rewind again and again.

“Silly Youth” fuses distorted french cafe melodica vibes to rugged sound tape boasts and smoked-out 140 swagger with Titus’ signature reverb-filled spaces, 808 bass and aquatic claps for another singular journey through the mind of a true original.  No dibby-dibby sound!!

New Zealand native and master of bass, Headland returns to System Music with another slice of production wizardry built and ready to shut down dancefloors and sound systems across the world.

On the A side sits Garbo, a monster of a track which rips through the speakers with aggression and bounce. It’s as intimidating as it is funky and as experimental as it is absolutely heavyweight. Bound to shut down every rave in which it graces its presence.

The B side homes Grits. A skippy stepper of a track with a densely dark atmosphere drenched in digital yet glacial sounds and nuances, easily translatable from the dance to the headphones.

Following up the success from Break’s “Another Way” LP, Symmetry sought out some of their favourite producers to spin their take on a selection of tracks from the album.

This first instalment of remixes features Workforce’s reworking of Break & Kyo’s “The Edge Of Time”. His haunting and moody rendition keeps things minimal with skippy rolling beats and lush soundscapes. With innovative vocal rendering and a well designed arrangement, Workforce delivers exactly the remix the original deserved.

Skeptical pulls out his trademark moves on Break & DLR’s “City Slickers”, showcasing his tight and precise production skills. He reshapes the best elements from the original into a stripped back and gritty version, the hypnotic techno style groove keeps this remix constantly rolling till the last bar.
