Substance – Beat For Me {mtw003}

Artist: Substance
Title:
Beat For Me
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
mtw003
Release Date:
1999/02/08


mono211 is proud to present the third mp3 release from da home of da hits. this time round it’s Substance, who provides us with a hard, filtered d+b track with an evil agenda to make your feet tap. But there’s lots of hidden subtlety, both in rhythm and texture, which emerges the more you listen to it. somewhere towards the Bristol d+b sound but tending to echo a less filtered Optical-styled sound, this is the sound of jungle getting lean, mean, and moody just in time for the new millenium.

Oh no. the quiet of my beautiful log house was interrupted by my door being bludgeoned down by two very disagreeable orcs. They handed me a floppy disc which they said was from ‘their friends’ in No’Mo’. And so I’m forced to publish No’Mo’ release #10, ‘Rinkidinki’ (297k), a remix of the classic Nuke/Lemon. amigademo track, “Rink-A-Dink” (original also included in the ZIP.) They may force me to put more No’Mo’ stuff up here soon. I fear for my safety. Please help, dear readers?

Distance – Star Cell U.K. {rel#29}

Artist: Distance
Title:
Star Cell U.K.
Label:
Monotonik
Catalog #:
rel#29
Release Date:
1999/02/05


For some reason we seem to have managed to make the description of this release sound somewhat like a crossword clue – oh well, no matter. Originally an entry into gc27, this is the 16-bit version of a truly beautiful track by Finnish idm maverick Distance. We should probably point out that it adheres to the Aphex Twin’s anagram methods of tune naming, too – clever boy, clever boy. In any case, listen, sway, hum happily, and appreciate.

Stylez EP

This one has been waiting in the wings for a very long time – apologies to Prob and Ebb for delaying it. But finally a release for the superlative “Stylez EP” by one of mono211’s foremost Finns and his studio partner, Ebb. There’s actually very little that can be said about this apart from the fact that damn, it’s a classy hiphopjam, and the bonustrack is original and smartstyled too. Oh, please note that real scratching and real sativa extract was used in the making of this track, and readers – don’t try it at home, bwoooyeee 😉 Honey, I got rhythm!

Jiva – Sous L’Eau A Pied {mtk001}

Artist: Jiva
Title:
Sous L’Eau A Pied
Label:
Monotonik
Catalog #:
mtk001
Release Date:
1999/01/29


the first release in a long time from monotonik, mono211’s techno sublabel, and it’s the first ever monotonik mp3 too. All the way from Alaska, Jiva provides us with some truly serene idm in the style of the similarly remote but moving Boards Of Canada or Biosphere. Beautiful home listening for everyone, and well worth the download. And we know our French is schoolboy at best, but the title is definitely something about strolling across the seabed, isn’t it?
