Continuing their onslaught of releases, the South London fraternity stack up
more goodies for your listening pleasure.
Firstly on Hardware you've got the pairing of Loxy & Dylan for the
'Nightmare EP' which comes out on Monday 5th March. This is followed by
Ink's first solo joint for the camp, an EP of gargantuous proportions
holding onboard the mighty 'Need You Now' (w/ Dylan) plus a Twisted Anger
mix of 'Murder Inc'. Completing this trio of double packs, Cause 4 Concern
drop a beefy little package with the mighty-Messiah'esque 'Skewer' plus a
Usual Suspects mix of 'Research' from the 'Aftermath' long player.
Moving over to the rolling sounds of Renegade Recordings now where they have
enlisted the talents of Stateside based Pieter K & JuJu for a kind of East
meets West collabo for the 'Transatlantic EP'.
And for the main course Trouble on Vinyl are about to drop their follow-up
to 'Mission Control'. 'Champion Sounds' has roped in some heavy acts from
the d&b world such as Alpha Omega, DJ Red, Friction & Usual Suspects, Future
Cut & Kontrol, plus a Brockie, Kane & Ed Solo mix of Psychosis' 'Freefall'
to name but a few. This is to be preceeded by a sampler holding 'Oh Yes'
from Supply & Demand and '21 Gun' from Manchester based Sonic & Silva.
For the regular End visitors out there, April 6th is the next Renegade
Hardware installment to hit Holborn with Doc Scott, Usual Suspects, DJ
Friction, Bad Company, Trace, Loxy and Dylan to name but a few.
There is also news of a new monthly from the camp but you have to check the
site at www.tov-music.co.uk for more info, you can also get filled-in here
