Subi – Uthfkisubi {REL#93}

Artist: Subi
Title: Uthfkisubi
Label: Mono211
Catalog #: REL#93
Release Date: 1997/07/15

Well, Subi tries to confound us again with one of his completely unclassifiable songs, just when we’ve decided to put our techno output on a sublabel. Thanks _so_ much. 😉 This tune definitely rules, but should it go out on Mono or Monotonik?

Well, think of it this way – do mad screaming Prodigy-style songs full of guitar get played out more by the Chemical Brothers or the Aphex Twin? Yep, Chemicals every time, and since this is a close relative to jungle and a distant cousin of bigbeat, it gets released on Mono every time.

Make it mine. 😉

Ramone – Smooth Operator {MUL#21}

Artist: Ramone
Title: Smooth Operator
Label: Mono211
Catalog #: MUL#21
Release Date: 1997/07/09

Oo, we iz _definitely_ operating correctly with this awesome hiphop jam from Ramone. Too blunted, cannot operate heavy machinery? 🙂 Heh, bass, saxophone, guitars, beats like you’re drowning in mud – just sit back and luxuriate? The track also features vocals from Rakim, one of the alltime hiphop heroes. Which is nice. 🙂 Rules rules rules.

Dreamfish – Unreal EP {MOD#72}

Artist: Dreamfish
Title: Unreal EP
Label: Mono211
Catalog #: MOD#72
Release Date: 1997/07/05

A very interesting EP this, sent to us from his sekrit hideaway by Dreamfish in his last dispatch, along with the already-released “Armani’s Dreams”. These are self-confessedly ‘oldskool’ jungle tracks, with something of a 1993 spirit about them – but they’re actually damn original cos he doesn’t sound like he’s trying to emulate the Amen b-boy crew. In other words, by going back it goes forward. Amen. 🙂

Relief+Skizo – Ping Bong {MUL#20}

Artist: Relief+Skizo
Title: Ping Bong
Label: Mono211
Catalog #: MUL#20
Release Date: 1997/07/01

First song of July, and a long-awaited new release from the Splif Prods crew. The amount of songs they produce is phenomenal, which always means it’s pretty tricky choosing, but after a little pointer from Relief, this track stood out majorly. It’s funky, it’s dirty, it kicks like a mule, and it’s everything your mother warned you about. 🙂 Btw, try to play it in FastTracker if you can – certainly MOD4WIN doesn’t like it and makes some interesting, if completely wrong static-noises. 🙂

Whiskas – Braah {MOD#71}

Artist: Whiskas
Title: Braah
Label: Mono
Catalog #: MOD#71
Release Date: 1997/06/23

The second release from Whiskas on Mono, and a rather classy track here. Spooky, isn’t it? The chords would scare anyone on a dark night, at least. 🙂 It’s nice to get a change from Mono’s customary triphop and jungle stylee, too – we guess people forget sometime that there’s a third part of our infernal triangle, and it’s very much the minimal techno angle that turns us on. A little weird? Maybe. But variety is the spice of life. 🙂

Iso – We’re Here {MOD#70}

Artist: Iso
Title: We’re Here
Label: Mono
Catalog #: MOD#70
Release Date: 1997/06/19

The return of Iso to the Mono stable with a rather excellent new track – Orb-like start, then triphop all the way. Great drums, too. Another interesting fact that you might not realise would be that the vocal sample came from.. aww, shucks, I can’t give it away. Work it out yourself. 🙂

Twilight – Hidden {MOD#69}

Artist: Twilight
Title: Hidden
Label: Mono
Catalog #: MOD#69
Release Date: 1997/06/12

Whooooa. Swooping in over the horizon, it’s another dangerously funky track from English wunderkid (hah!) Twilight. It’s got the lot, the distorted 303 phun, the oldskool rap, the sledgehammer beats, and the scratching to make you spill your drink all over the place. 🙂 Watch out for more Mortimer Twang remixes of Twilight in the near future, incidentally – those two got some real synergy going on. Whatever that means. 😛

Bogdan – Humfree EP {MUL#18}

Artist: Bogdan
Title: Humfree EP
Label: Mono
Catalog #: MUL#18
Release Date: 1997/06/09

Finally sorted, a debut guest-release from Bogdan. Although we may have mentioned something about him before, all you need to know is that his email address is karl@cse.unl.edu, and he’s previously been very sceptical about releasing through groups. This is certainly original – perhaps closest to the spirit of Squarepusher and Aphex Twin in their most junglistic modes. But different. As they say, nice.

01 – Humfree [XM] [FLAC] [MP3]
