FROM THE SUBMERGE CRATES:
NEW/RESTOCKED/SLEPT ON
NEW
YXTQ-012 DJ Dex Libra LP (Vinyl and Digital)
“Stone-cold killer from Underground Resistance’s DJ Dex – merging stripped-down Detroit grooves, Chicago jack trax, and Hi-NRG! The Libra LP finds DJ Dex searching for the perfect balance on the dancefloor.”
RESTOCKED
SLEPT ON
UR-040REDUX UR “AMBUSH REDUX” 12EP
“What type of radio programming could create an environment that would need a musical ambush?…UR’s DJ Skurge edits the original 040 into a burning spear of knowledge to defeat the programmers.”
FROM BEHIND THE COUNTER:
S.I.D. STAFF SELECTION(S)
HIZZ01 – Elkotsh – rhlt jdi
“Co-released by Cairo’s HIZZ imprint and Heat Crimes, Egyptian producer Elkotsh’s debut album skirts the experimental edge of mahraganat, disrupting electroid rhythms and dextrous live percussive workouts with acidic synth improvisations and warped instrumental vamps.”
HIZZ-003 – Abosahar – Raasny
“Upper Egypt’s “King of Trobby Music” detonates another singular vision on Raasny—a 9-track suite of bruised street rhythms, electro-shaabi fireworks, and raw emotional voltage, beamed direct from El Minya to the world.“
