Apologies for the lack of posts, abroad at the mo! But for now tune in to this fresh EP from Roy RosenfelD out now on Incorrect Music. Roy Rosenfeld supplies us with a colorful and spacious techno masterpiece, ripe with stripped back brilliance and quirky ingenuity. “Brownies” and “Last Chance” both illustrate Roy’s technical prowess as his warm basslines thud perfectly while trippy lead notes and percussion dance around in the arrangement. His specific sound is unmistakable and perfect for heady techno aficionados. (RR SC, 2011)

The first half of the 20th century saw periods of prohibition of the bottle in several countries around the world.Prohibition became increasingly unpopular during the Great depression, with Bootleggers, Rum runners and organised crime syndicatescashing in on this, the streets were a muck but the speakeasy’s flourished making way for an extraordinary time for music, a time of elegance,grandeur and down right naughtiness.
This mix attempts to translate the period of prohibition in the United States, from inception to ratification and the dry bits in between. (Future Swing Stories SC, 2011)
