‘Feed Me Weird Things’ was Squarepusher’s debut album. Released on 3rd June 1996 by Rephlex Records (jointly run by Richard D James and Grant Wilson Claridge). Tom had previously released the Conumber EP (as Squarepusher) and Alroy Road Tracks (as the Duke of Harringay) on the newly formed Spymania label the year before. The album was preceded by the Squarepusher Plays EP in May of 1996 also on Rephlex. The extra tracks from this EP not on the original album made up the Japanese bonus tracks when it was released there and will be included in our reissue.The album was a key release for Rephlex and has gone on to be regarded as one of Squarepusher’s best. It marked a time of strong influence and although they wouldn’t have used the term, led to the sub-genre of Drill n Bass.Tom’s strong jazz influences and virtuoso bass playing come to the fore on this album setting it apart from his contemporaries.The album including all bonus tracks has been remastered by Matt Coulton at Alchemy.This will also be the first time the album is available on streaming services.

Salutations features twelve pieces of new music from artists near and dear to RVNG’s sphere, including Isik Kural, Satomimagae, vhvl, Visible Cloaks, Sign Libra, Dialect, Batu, Anna Homler, Diatom Deli, Emily A. Sprague, Rachika Nayar and Nina Keith, and Wayne Phoenix. The vinyl edition expands on the spirit of correspondence with poetry readings by Zoe Brezsny, Ivanna Baranova, Tessa Bolsover, Jessica Rae Elsaesser, and Luciá Hinojosa Gaxiola, assembled by Breszny and RVNG.Salutations signals a series of meetings, greetings, group assemblies and exercises along the invisible plane created through correspondence. This is the inaugural compilation of new music from RVNG, inspired in part by a collaboration with Adult Swim. The question of how similar we are arises in the simple form of contact, and how we choose to embrace the potential of that moment and one another. Through correspondence, we connect, communicate, and form community. At first, correspondents with one another, and through the processes of collaboration and transmission, we correspond to parallel and intersecting collective cores.This eternal network, perhaps informed (consciously or subconsciously) by some celestial or spiritual force, becomes a portal to practice social responsibility and an access point to a wider, inclusive universe of information. In turn, the network becomes a human phenomenon, as well as a potent demonstration of art and collectivism. As the world heals, and evolves through future changes, having t his network in place provides a vessel to and grow / glow beyond our corporeal state.On behalf of Salutations, a portion of the proceeds from this release will benefit A.B.O. Comix, a collective of creators and activists who work to amplify the voices of LGBTQ prisoners through art, and link them with freeworld penpal

I feel it starts again,Why does it go on?Aujourd’hui les choses se sont accélérées, et, parodie de la vitesse, il se mit à pleuvoir.Par-là la perte d'un peu de soi, c'est la dérive progressive vers d'autres rivages.Mais le temps manque à celle dont la course, commencée il y a bien longtemps, ne sait plus comment s’arrêter.Déconstruis !C’est ce que la morale lui criait fût un temps, c’est ce que les principes bien ancrés ont connus dans l’esprit des indolents.Une fois les miettes éparpillées au sol et les habits maculés d’histoires, les folies sèchent et collent à la peau, puis font scintiller -sable sous le soleil d’été- de nouveaux fondements à la droite du cœur.Car contradictoire, la morale d’hier ne trouve plus sa place 𝘩𝘪𝘤 𝘦𝘵 𝘯𝘶𝘯𝘤 dans l’esprit des protagonistes,les promenades ont épuisé le vieux gardien du principe et de l’éthique : alité la journée, la nuit il fuit les regards de ceux qui penchent la tête par sa fenêtre pour le solliciter.« 𝘋𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘬 ? » propose un vendeur de souvenir à sa porte en présentant un panneau avec différentes offres.C’est ainsi que se trafique l’image et l’espoir, que se justifie le gagne-pain de celui que certains nomment « vendu ».Mais,celui qui le nomme ainsi,Peut-il vraiment dire « j’ai les yeux ouverts » ?Rêve-t-il même ou n’a-t-il pas au moins peur de ce que ce « vendu » lui fît, ne lui fît pas, en ou en deçà de ce qu’il estime être « la valeur des choses » ?De mauvaise foi en mauvaise foi, -nonchalance ? -déni ? et du haut de sa tour, il observe. Il prend sa lunette pour mieux juger mais tarde à comprendre… son point de vue est altéré et lui donne à voir un drôle de paradigme : miroir de sa considération, il se voit minuscule et la tête en bas. Il sursaute :- Ce n’est que moi. Je m’effraie dans ma condescendance, la jumelle à l’enversme rend rabougri : si près pourtant je semble si loin et colérique.Il n’est pas rare pour lui de se retrouver dans ce qu’il condamne.Mais voilà, muable, il accepte la condition du temps, et, tentant de comprendre l’éventualité d’un fait présent, englobant ici et là, impalpable imperceptible, affirme :- Rien ne sert de précipiter ce qui sera ou de ranimer ce qui était, il importe decomprendre son époque.𝘈𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘥𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘮𝘦, 𝘧𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘶 𝘴𝘢𝘶𝘷𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘥𝘶 𝘴𝘰𝘪, 𝘭𝘶𝘪 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘥𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘦𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘥𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘺𝘭𝘦, 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘵.

After three standout EPs on Atomnation, Japanese producer and live artist Ryunosuke Hayashi a.k.a. boys be kko serves up his long-awaited debut album. Hensa is a serene nine-track electronic trip that oozes musical charm. He makes his music in a studio with its own roof terrace and counts the likes of &ME and Bonobo as fans while Running Back boss Gerd Janson has remixed him in the past. This new album finds him expand on his always emotive, clean and futuristic fusion of house, disco and melodic techno in alluring new ways. This is a brain-cleansing, soul-enriching work of melodic electronic perfection from boys be kko.
