Relief – Shadow Funk {MOD#53}

Artist: Relief
Title: Shadow Funk
Label: Mono
Catalog #: MOD#53
Release Date: 1996/12/23

Another Xmas present from us, ourselves, and we, and this time our Danish cookie Relief hits out with a really, umm, swell jungle track. Believe it or not, this is the man at his least abstract. Hah, smoke em if ya got em, that’s what we say. 😛 And float, float away in a sea of otherworldly light until you meet your maker. And then inform him politely that Mono rule and see if he opens the gates? 🙂 Umm, whatever. 😛

Vim! – Plastic EP {MOD#52}

Artist: Vim!
Title: Plastic EP
Label: Mono
Catalog #: MOD#52
Release Date: 1996/12/20

The debut EP from rather way-out Mono member Vim!, this serves as a showcase for his, well, totally original style. There sure as hell ain’t many tunes like this coming out, and it makes a refreshing change to hear something different. Even if “Your Cup Of Tea” is so far out, it makes 4T Thieves’ ambient madness sound relatively normal. As far as Mono HQ remembers, Vim! told us this track was composed using all of his homegenerated samples. Mad nuttah. 🙂

Mortimer Twang – Wu-Twang Slam EP {MOD#51}

Artist: Mortimer Twang
Title: Wu-Twang Slam EP
Label: Mono
Catalog #: MOD#51
Release Date: 1996/12/16

Figured it was about time everyone heard sumting new from one of the smartest Mono members, so it’s time for a new EP from the King of Twang, Mr. Tee himself. So we got a wikkid styled jungle in suitably mangled style, and we even got a handsindaair house cut in a style we don’t really hear people doing on the computer. Do we? Anyhow, we rather suspect that this one rules, so chill out and listen.

Tracklist:
01 – True [MOD] [FLAC] [MP3]
02 – Velvet Disko [MOD] [FLAC] [MP3]

Jazz + Smartass – Chikoboompaww! {MOD#50}

Artist: Jazz + Smartass
Title: Chikoboompaww!
Label: Mono
Catalog #: MOD#50
Release Date: 1996/12/10

Back again, this time with a guest-release – thanks to the German duo Jazz n Smartass for providing the 24-carat entertainment, and the pretty damn stupid song title. 🙂 Following the example of fellow Germans Hardfloor in the silly songname stakes, are we? 😛 Heh, it’s a wikked track, anyhow. Mellow out.

Twilight – Crystal Rain {MOD#49}

Artist: Twilight
Title: Crystal Rain
Label: Mono
Catalog #: MOD#49
Release Date: 1996/11/30

Twilight returneth with this gorgeous newskool d+b track – like, forget the Amen, cut the midrange, drop the bass? 🙂 As he says himself, a lot of the samples are from the totally wonderful Metalheadz label – so go get some Metalheadz now, mon! 🙂

Carebear – Confession {MUL#07}

Artist: Carebear
Title: Confession
Label: Mono
Catalog #: MUL#07
Release Date: 1996/11/25

Carebear’s multichannel competition winner, as promised, and it’s a classy melange of all sorts of nice stuff – wicked speech samples, too. Kinda DJ Hype + Ganja Kru for our scene? 🙂 Carebear’s another Mono member who does 4-channel and multichannel stuff, anyway – both Dreamfish and Supernao promise some multichannel action soon too.

TheFoxII – Rushmore EP {MOD#48}

Artist: TheFoxII
Title: Rushmore EP
Label: Mono
Catalog #: MOD#48
Release Date: 1996/11/20

Another double-release, this time from TheFoxII, and the title track wins the award for the Mono tune which makes us jump around the most, ever. Yes, ever. Speed those housevocals up, throw in some breakbeats, we got a guaranteed barnstormer, it seems. As for the second track, it’s a smart return to the style of earlier TFII releases on Mono – those chords are an absolute bitch to loop, tho. 🙂

Tracklist:
01 – Rushmore Remix [MOD] [FLAC] [MP3]
02 – First Encounter [MOD] [FLAC] [MP3]

Substance – Decay To Insanity EP {MOD#47}

Artist: Substance
Title: Decay To Insanity EP
Label: Mono
Catalog #: MOD#47
Release Date: 1996/11/14

Another substantial release from the marvellous minimal-trancer, and this time a mellower track, twinned with a trademark phasing, hihat-smearing tune. 4 channels ain’t dead. 🙂 There’s more to come – watch out for a distinctly non-trademark triphop track from Substance in the coming releases. Whee, and what’s more, wheee.

Tracklist:
01 – Decay To Infinity [MOD] [FLAC] [MP3]
02 – Shapechanger [MOD] [FLAC] [MP3]

Relief – Simon Says {MUL#06}

Artist: Relief
Title: Simon Says
Label: Mono
Catalog #: MUL#06
Release Date: 1996/11/09

The debut release from the rather attuned Relief, and one of his neato multichannel tunes, grudgingly made after his Amiga keyboard broke. This is in the kinda style you don’t normally hear on a PC… isn’t it? On the unclassifiable side, but wikkedness increase – listen to those drums stutter ‘n roll and enjoy.

Dreamfish – Shredless Wonder {MOD#46}

Artist: Dreamfish
Title: Shredless Wonder
Label: Mono
Catalog #: MOD#46
Release Date: 1996/11/06

Dreamfish returns with a groove that’s both minimal and lush at the same time, and we have to nod our heads to this one, don’t we? Unclassifiable? Yep. Groovable? More so. The transition halfway through the track is, incidentally, phat. Repeat play, please, and don’t spare the horsepower. 🙂
