Always a pleasure to get our hands on a fresh box of Empty Head Rich Heart goodness, and this even more so when there’s some Bristol action involved ! This deep blue ‘Shelter’ cut from Cold Light operators Gus & Dean aka Withdrawn, and the badass O$VMV$M remix have been on heavy rotation in O$VMV$M sets at Young Echo nights and around town for some time now, so it’s great to see EHRH do the honours and press the music up onto the 1&only 7″ format – pressed up in Hamburg, DIY style, and presented with heavyweight art by Bokeh Versions bossman Miles Opland.Stick on the clips for a taste, but let us tell you that those pads will be whirring around your brain for days to come – It’s a deep earworm and a really infectious rhythm, one that you’ll be coming back for in years to come.Edition of 100, vinyl-only.hand-stamped and numbered.Served with printed translucent paper DIY sleeve design by Bokeh Edwards.

Great LP from Benin by the second most important orchestra -behind the Poly-Rythmo Record has many hairlines and scuffs producing some constant surface noise !

The re-appraisal of early Seefeel has been long overdue. We're not entirely sure why this hasn't happened before, but to put things into context this is the first time Ch-Vox has been available on vinyl since it debuted in 1996, sidling up alongside the band's other outings dating back to 1994, all of which came about through involvement with Sheffield and global electronic music institution, Warp Records.Ch-Vox actually landed on Rephlex, the imprint founded by Warp regular Richard D James, AKA Aphex Twin, and Grant Wilson-Claridge. Taking us further into the chill-out rooms, Sunday morning comedowns and midweek meditative moods of UK rave, in many ways Ch-Vox is more complex in concept than its predecessor, Succour, helping establish an early framework for what we now know as drone.

Absolute banger. Cop it !
