        First up, we have the new release from ABYSS, on Renaissance Recordings... Neapolitan producer Abyss comes to Renaissance for his debut release with the label. Abyss shot to prominence in 2006 signing his first two releases to Buzzin' Fly: 'Mind Games' and 'Dreamer'. This release caught the much-respected ear of John Digweed, who included both tracks on his mix album: Transitions Vol.2. He followed this up with two tracks on Forensic Records, but when we heard his new track 'Hiccups', we knew it was definitely time to enlist Abyss for Renaissance Recordings' first release of '09. First up is the Club mix, which has been rocking underground dancefloors for a while now, with its quirky arrangement and deconstructed vocal hook. An irresistible, tribal drum pattern gives the track a bumpety, Chicago feel before the undulating synth-line takes over and the party starts. The dub version takes things in a darker direction, into more 'heads down' territory. The percussion is tighter and more direct, using a range of effects to twist up the original hook. The bassline swells and falls around the tribal drum loop, resulting in a trippy excursion into the late night dancefloor physce of Abyss.   Full of wonder and an inescapable rump-shaking groove: this release is set to defy genre classification as ...

  (A) Wax The Van (Yam Who? Rework) (B1) Treehouse (Lil Tony) (B2) Wax The Van (Ilija Rudman Remix) Cat no: EMINDS010 / Release date: April / May 2009 In today's digitally obsessed world it is a cause for celebration when a record label reaches its 10th vinyl release. A year old, Electric Minds reaches this mile stone and in doing so presents one of its most exciting releases to date. For this special release label artists Yam Who? & Ilija Rudman join Innervisions' Lil Tony to present their modern day interpretations of Arthur Russell's work.   Relatively unknown during his life, a series of reissues and posthumous releases has raised Russell's profile in recent years. His timeless productions whilst not truly understood when they were first released, 25 years later his songs are considered to be the back bone of today's dance music. Such is the importance of Russell's contribution to the modern music scene that many consider his work to be untouchable but in this release all 3 producers have carefully picked out key elements of his songs whilst recording an entirely new and up to date soundtrack. Released in 1985 on Jump Street Records and featuring vocals by Lola Blank, Yam Who? and Ilija Rudman have worked on "Wax the Van"; whilst Lil ...
