The next chapter in the Bristol Normcore saga is here !Following up that killerrrrrrr Katatonic Silentio record from last year, her productions now get the action-response with a slew of hardcore remixes from none other than – Our nearest and dearest: Kinlaw & Franco Franco, as well as top crew ZULI, Stenny, Walton and Herva – each bringing a proper oblique twist & turn to the original cuts, adding more flames to the burning embers of ‘Prisoner Of Self’. Industrial soundsystem weight, and cyberpunk riddims galore – proper energised gear, just what’s needed right now in these cold winter months.Served up in another mad-mad DIY sleeve – 200 copies only, each one locked in a cage, then vacuum-sealed for xtra measure, and served up with insert art.

While moving from his long-term home Chicago to Los Angeles a few years back, Tortoise member Jeff Parker rediscovered a swathe of old home recordings - "beat projects" built around samples of dusty old jazz tracks. These became the starting point for New Breed, his most expansive solo album for some time. Full of his usual loose and evocative jazz guitar, the set sits somewhere between lo-fi post-rock/jazz fusion, experimental hip-hop, and softly spun electronica. Regardless of style, it's a hugely evocative and entertaining collection of tracks.
