February's New Releases

MILIEU / WAVERIDER
3" CD-R EP
MML054 / EDITION OF 50

The second single from the forthcoming Swaying Palms album, Waverider presents seven starry-eyed feelgood Milieu tracks full of funky basslines, sex-on-the-beach synths, big breaks and melodies sweeter than a Capri Sun on LSD. Some crusty tropical crunk for those of you who can remember those family vacations in the 80's, building sandcastles, getting pulled down the shore in the tide, baking in the sun. Put on your shades and grab your board - it's time to go! Think "Theme From A Nude Beach" meets Casino Versus Japan meets Henry Mancini at 16 RPM. Limited to 50 copies.

COPPICE HALIFAX / GANYMEDE ICECAPS
3" CD-R EP
AB1 / EDITION OF 50

Kicking off a brand new catalog set (which you can read more about here) is something of a new "era" of the Coppice Halifax sound. Entering for the first time into truly deep and dubby territory, this three track EP is the beginning of what will be the charted course for Coppice Halifax in the 2009 year. Taking heavy influence from pioneers like Basic Channel, Wolfgang Voigt, Monolake and Pole, as well as newer favorites such as Rod Modell, Yagya and Anders Ilar...these three tracks are bouncy, minimal and clean, yet not without a very notable texture and atmosphere. Roomy reverbs phase in and out over the mix while skittering delays dance all over a punctuated drum sequence. Sometimes subdued, other times four-to-the-floor, but all around deep and minimal. Expect this series of EPs to grow throughout 2009 in a hopefully new and interesting way.

COPPICE HALIFAX / PORCELAIN SURFACES
3" CD-R EP
AB2 / EDITION OF 50

The second EP in the AB series, and even more minimal than Ganymede Icecaps. Pristine open spaces are filled with intricately placed rhythms and micro-melodies. Off-white, clean and full of reflected fluorescent light. "Porcelain" is the closest to the Berlin techno sound Coppice Halifax has come so far, while parts one and two of "Icecaps" bring a little more familiar funk into the picture. Simple music for those who like it that way.
