We are proud to announce another new signing to the Reprise Publishing roster – J.Robinson

London is constantly providing fresh new underground talents and J.Robinson is not exeption to that rule. The fresh newcomer from North London has not long become one of the recognised figures of the deep electronic underground scene.

J has already had notable releases on Renegade Hardware, Voodoo Music and DJ Ink’s Architecture Recordings. His range is impeccable and includes dark old school vibes, vibrant percussive vibes and the more avant-garde.  J.Robinson has also recently launched his own imprint Tribe12 Music Ltd. He’s already supported by the leading figures of Dubtep & Drum & Bass and his track The Maasai plays a special part is Icicle’s Rinse 19 mix.

We are proud to announce another new signing to the Reprise publishing roster – Thefft

Another frighteningly young producer with a sound as fresh as it is mature is a certain Jack Robertson, aka THEFFT.

Thefft’s industrial techno edge, supported by a classic, floor-friendly, groove-strong disco atmosphere, has quickly become his signature sound, a style that is going to see him in good stead. His productions contain the soul of New York in the body of Berlin with a London Mind.

Support has been widespread already, with some of dance’s most respected figures already firing his tracks in their sets. Thefft’s tracks have been heard in the mixes of Oneman, Loefah, Distal, Disclosure, Melé – and Zed Bias is such a fan, he invited him to the studio to write a track, which is forthcoming on his next Maddslinky album.

He’s already released on the respected net label Cut, and expect to see releases forthcoming on Distal & Mite’s Embassy Recordings as well as a 12″ on Damu’s new Label, Fulcrum Records, which is already garnering an impressive roster of new talent. These aren’t the only labels to be sniffing round the young Londoner… Thefft is gonna be committing some serious crimes in the near future.

An excellent guest mix for Mary Anne Hobbs on her prestigious XFM show is an excellent map to his sound.

“London based Senseless Records are doing something a little different to mark their 5th year releasing records.

Label co-honcho DeVille mixed our 7th SR mix way back in April of 2009 and since then they’ve gone a long way to push the music they love, releasing a two CD Vocals & Versions project, which displayed their penchant for thinking outside of the norm, alongside singles from artists like Ghosttown, Pocz & Pacheko and The Phantom (who coincidentally mixed SR #63). So, to mark their 5th anniversary as a label they’ve birthed Synesthesia, a project that unites the visual medium with the physical music product they’re dedicated to producing.

They’ll be releasing five 12” records over the next few months. Each one will be limited to 250 pieces and will be housed in hand screen printed sleeves with an art print insert created by an international collection of artists, each offering their take on one of the five human senses – touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing. Music comes from names like Poirier, Rossi B & Luca, Oris Jay, Cardopusher, JTRP and DJ Eastwood but they won’t tell you who’ll be where or on what until each is released. What we can tell you is that the first release will only be available from their website as of next Monday before it goes on general release and that it features work from The Phantom, Rossi B & Luca and new Polish talent, Venice Calypso.

Rossi B & Luca drop their renowned grime tempo to 130bpm, carving out a dark stepper in ‘Turbo Island’ on the AA side, The Phantom follows last year’s heady Phantom EP with a Wiley-esque Devil mix of ‘Arctic,’ all ice cold fractals and gloop like synths and Venice Calypso introduces himself emphatically with ‘Drifting.’ Following on from the work of fellow Polish artists Phantom, Zeppy Zep and Sentel, Venice Calypso operates in that heavy handed house sphere, pumping his drums whilst smearing neon arcs over the top section. If you grab the digital version you’ll also get Calypso’s track ‘Tunguska’ which further realises a dark dancefloor with its punishing groove and general sense of foreboding along with the full version of Phantom’s ‘Arctic;’ the one that’s loaded with drums and vocal chops.”
