Coner-002L TWOCA E.P - Ebb

Release Records - future hotty!

"Ebb's TWOCA has featured on the "future hotties" hit list this week! at Release Records (Canada). Future hotties, compiled by Angus Robinson, predicts the vinyl cuts that are about to go ballistic. Enough said."

"..progressive breaks without the chin stroking and 20 minute breakdowns..."
maley - urban gorilla

"..a genuinely intelligent outlook to music .."
cass - cass/slide, red parrot, sabotage

"the platinum mules mix is arguably my favourite track of the year so far - proper nice techiness with low end theory to spare and underworld on synthesizers..if you like your beats techy then all four tracks on here will be right up your street."

"UK's newest label; Cone Records, drops it's first 12" inch and the choice
cut on this one is the Little Fella mix of Down To The Nightclub. A
perfect intro track as is starts off minimal and works its way up with
tough beats and a hooky guitar loop. The acidic layer the comes in after
the first breakdown makes it's very reminiscent of older Chemical Beats,
and it's much appreciated as so much of the music on the market at the
moment seems carbon copied. Don't be afraid to try something different,
like this solid new label." - Rinse Magazine review - DJ RobbG

"I think it's great. Both sides work for me. Nice and solid that Look Closely side with some good sounds.
Down To The Nightclub is that little bit more funky. The bass is fat and the old skool riff is reminiscent of Orbital or something like that. Wicked stuff. I'll definitely be supporting this one on my radio show on Ministry of Sound." DJ Flix (10 Kilo / MoS radio)

Down to the nightclub was aired on Ministry of Sound radio, Tuesday the 16th September 2003. Featured on DJ Flix's show Fractured beats, the track got a great reception..Full show track listing here

"Nice tunes! Played the A side on Friday night...nice production,groove and a
bit of old school flavour." Kev Wright (Sublime, Addictive)

"Down to the Nightclub: Big sound, cool vocal - some quite techie bits lobbed into the pan to create quite an interesting tune. Motors along with a heavy riff-esque bassline. Watch out for some mad bleeps and shit working their way into the latter stages of the track.

Look Closely: This is the one! Guaranteed to get your dancefloor moving, a perfect incarnation of chunky breaks and an absoloute monster of a track. The long, sweeping intro allows for a smooth and subtle mix before an almighty drop bitchslaps you between the ears. The rather 'rude' bassline chugs along for a good while, not letting up until the main breakdown - which kicks back in like a motherfucker. Turn this one up loud, its music for big systems." - Hatch (Fractured Ankle, Moneyshot)

"I received the 12 thru yesterday and gave it a listen last
night.....fuckin' a! what a corker of a couple of tunes you have there!! seriously into the
a-side track and will definitely be playing it every chance i get. nightclub
is a good track also and i'm gonna give that some hefty rotation also. really impressed m8y. blinding tracks.
will be sticking em in the chart next week at numero uno...i like em that much!." - DJ Haze (Cryonix)

"Top notch digital funk, breaks to shake the floor. keep an eye on this label!" - Mike Hogan (DJ Hogey Bare)

"This is a double A-side from former child prodigy Rex Preston, who made the transition from mandolin to making beats following a Leftism listening session. Look Closely is a crisp, slightly edgy breaks affair. The drops are atmospheric and the industrial feel of the track reminds of the late 90s Bristol sound that emanated from the likes of Breakbeat Culture, Tech Itch and Cup of Tea Records. Down to the Nightclub, however, is an entirely different kettle of fish. Much more aesthetically pleasing, the initial hook forces you to be interested in what is to come. The breaks kick in with refreshing authority, and you can't help but nod your head as the track progresses into a gorgeous little number. The track fills the room with expectation, and whilst not being highly innovative, it is a clear example of everything that is good in the breaks scene today. The coastal feel twists itself and really evolves. It has an almost acid house vibe about it, contrasted with a nu skool approach. Totally harmless and inoffensive, Beat-root obviously has his head screwed on, and with his musical background, hopefully a little more innovation will be shown in forthcoming releases, as the potential to take this music a step beyond where it is now is evident." - Muzik.com

"Many thanks for the promo. I will be caning the arse out of this one!
Side a: 7/10 good, but i do get a bit bored with the dirty style sometimes.
Sidaa: 9/10 F*****g wicked track, full of funk excellent drums and riffs. like the old school stab sound, very '91. Will be charting this to all the usual and will get club and radio play. Guesting on Pyrotechnic radio tomorrow 7 - 9 pm, i'll give it a plug for ya." - Bill Vega

"yeah got it on friday played a couple of tunes on the weekend from the double pack, both tunes blew up big time, fantastic stuff, very impressed
the breakbeat track is awesome gonna play it all at the mofo party. I'll give you some more feedback after the weekend
thanks for an excellent release. jim" - Jim MOFO (MOFO underground breaks magazine)

"Absoloutely Loving it. It's gota really nice Vibe about. Simple effective programming. Not at all clutered!!!! Popped in at No.3 in our current chart, as it's worthy of being there!!!! Just confirming with the Autobots we're on next sunday and if so I think I'm
gonna open with it!!!!" Don - JaNaTaH DJ's

Coner-003L - tsunchoo 'all ribs & prick' 12" vinyl

Cat. Coner-003L

DJ Magazine - October

 

absorb magazine

what if level 42 had recorded a version of robert hood's 'nighttime world' series? it would probably sound like tsunchoo's 'hard & cheap' Ð this is whitey electropop at its most funky. nice and mellow, it comes off as a post-elektroklash soundtrack to leisure suit larry (if you remember?). and that must be a merit in a way!

'all ribs & prick' is big dancefloor-electro, like chemical brothers on a budget. what makes this 12" stand out is the feltpeople remix of 'all ribs & prick', nicing up the dance with old-skool raga vibes. one for the warehouse heads.

Tsunchoo/ALL RIBS & PRICK 12"
This twisted slab of electro breakbeat trickery pushes technology forward while still retaining a raw, juicy & funky sound. The FELTPEOPLE remix mangles the samples and adds some dope ragga vocals. The two other cuts range from old school electro to chunky breaks. - Groovedis.com (chicago U.S.A)

Juice Magazine (Brighton) August, 2003

The Brighton Source, August 2003

 

"All ribs & prick is a gritty electro affair, Hard & Cheap is sleazy late night material, the all ribs remix is an old school style reworking of all ribs & prick ..an interesting twisting release with excellent production throughout ..a classic"

"Hard and Cheap is a dirty, laid back electro number. The track has a nice, dark, twisted feel to it, and never attempts to become something it isn't, whilst constantly morphing and progressing itself via an ugly, flowing bassline that sits nicely over the curious beats and sounds.

All Ribs and Prick is more of the same, but with a more aggressive, much more appealing use of bass. The sound is very mechanical and at times can feel a little constricted. The use of a foreign student's chat-up answer phone message is really good though, and adds a nice, awkward feel to the track, really bringing out the elements nicely." - Muzik.com

"your eyes roll into the back of your skull, as sinisterly warped electro-funk feeds off your fazing consciousness. Your vision plunges forward, focus oscillating, orbs bulging and your head catches up with your body. Bang. You never moved." - The Source (Brighton)
