You ain't got no kind of feeling inside I got something that will surely set your stuff on fire
You refuse to put anything before your pride What I got will knock all your pride aside
You may have caught Pride in recent Jackmaster and Spencer sets over the past few months, but we're letting it out in the wild now.
The simplicity of the elements is the strength here - the creeping discord of the piano, the slow sub rolls, the sheer power of the vocal - baked together with sharp drum boxes, space echoes and ADV's years of production wisdom.
The celestial Mr Fingers inspired tones of 'First Time' provide the flip.
‘That’s What Friends Are For’ once again shows how much drama Adesse can build into a track. Think back to those twelves from the dons of dancefloor tension - Ron Trent, Carl Craig, DJ Duke and Murk - music built for a world where the lights never come back on.

At 12:22 hrs on July 19th 2016, the manned spacecraft 10,000 Suns sent a distress signal from the inner edge of Earth's atmosphere. Communication with the shuttle was lost shortly afterwards.
Fragments of the ship have been recovered on the west coast of Scotland, but pilot Bryan Kessler of Cologne is currently missing in action.
Black box recordings have been retrieved and will be archived to regulation standard vinyl and digital audio encapsulations.
Stranger days are here and the Italian maestro has returned with two new soundtracks for the dancefloor apocalypse. The world is soon to end, Lory D will be its last man standing. Early warnings from Ben UFO, Joy Orbison, Kema and Tale of Us.

My DJ is back in the place...Much needed green vinyl repress of Mosca's legendary release for Numbers.
Bax is back. First released in 2011, Mosca’s UKG homage, ‘Bax’, did big things when it landed. Almost 10 years on, it’s time for a repress.
Though Mosca missed the golden era of garage in the nineties, he caught on to darkside pioneers such as Horsepower Productions, Benny Ill and El-B later on. A blend of homegrown British styles lies at the core of his electronic music influences, early dubstep, jungle, minimal grime and bassline, which he’d experienced first-hand at Sheffield’s legendary Niche club. (Little known fact: The name Bax is a partial nod to Steve Baxendale, the man behind Niche).
All these elements coalesced in the studio and the two-tracker materialised in a couple of days. Both sides of the record do their thing on the floor; ‘Bax’ with its now infamous ‘My DJ is live in the place’ sample, that earworm melody and a ruffneck b-line.
On the flip ‘Done Me Wrong’ sees Mosca incorporate several key garage tropes; the bassline swinging alongside soulful vocals (which get sliced and diced), not forgetting that cheeky rewind.

In 2015 when potential remixes of BIPP were first floated the unequivocal response from SOPHIE was “No remixes..” a long pause followed “..unless it’s Autechre”. We asked, and five years later an email from Autechre arrived “sorry this is so late, hope it's still of some use”. An Autechre live show recording from a Numbers show in 2005 had first inspired SOPHIE to source the equipment used to craft new music including BIPP, LEMONADE & more. The BIPP Autechre mx is 3 minutes 33 seconds long, stripped back and loose. Sounding like Autechre paying tribute to some serious late 80’s influences. The duo's interpretation channels an imagined transition point between NY electro and UK street soul, that pitched down SOPHIE vocal reconfigured into a wanna-be Latin Freestyle Natasha King, jiving over a deep slice of TR-606 funk technology.
