Al Gobi – Halfway House [Disco Bloodbath]

Im very happy to tell everyone about this release, which is myself and Phils first release on wax. This is released courtesy of the ever impressive Disco Bloodbath chaps, on a label where we’ll be alongside names such as Waze & Odyessey, Mark E, Hand Plant, G & S, Jamie Blanco and Damon Martin to name a few.

This will be the first EP and have another scheduled for release next spring. Meanwhile its back to this one. On remixes duty we have Crooked Man aka DJ Parrot who got a nice review on Juno Plus and Wild Geese. We also got a nice review on the ace site that is Test pressing as well. Both are sterling.

So far i’ve seen Phonica,  JUNO and Picadilly stock the 12″ but should be in most shops. Digital should be available somewhere down the road. Go on and get it bought!

Jem Haynes, Ian Blevins – Second Line EP [Colour Series]

At the beginning of Summer 2011, Jem Haynes moved to the flat directly above me. This was soon the beginning of regular coffee’s and music making sessions. After getting involved in a series called Treme, our Second Line guise was born as we sought inspiration in a lot of the songs, drums and rhythms from the music in the series for an EP.

Over a year and a half has gone by and in that time has seen these tracks tested around the globe, including We Love at Ministry of sound and Space in Ibiza where they have worked to full effect on a weekly basis. This debut EP is also the first release on Jem Haynes new Colour Series label. More music is in the pipeline currently from ourselves, Jem and Mike Peters. Check the Colour Series soundcloud for more

Positive feedback so far has come from Jozif, Orde Meikle, Gabriel Ananda, Nic Fanciulli, Luciano, Pete Tong, Sasha, C. Von Stroke, Bookashade, Chris Fortier, Anderson Noise, Dibby Dougherty, Benji Candelario, Lee curtis, Sander Kleinenberg, Rich Hawtin, Stephan Bodzin, ATFC, Tom Thorpe and Andrew Grant.

Al Gobi – Gobi One Kenobi EP [Audio Parallax]

Over the last couple of winters myself and Phil Moody have been locked in the studio whittling away making alot of music. The first of these to be released comes on the ever lovely and popular Audio Parallax. The music released on this label is always of a very high standard so we were very happy to join such ranks. We’ve also recruited the local and brilliant talents of Last Waltz, 6th Finger and NY*AK to help out on the remix front and all deliver superbly.

A mention was also given to the EP and 6th Finger remix by our fine friends Feelmybicep here.

Here’s the links

B11s – Blue (Free edit)

[soundcloud url="http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/28670849"]

Howdy all, managed to recover a copy of this I made in the summer. One of the few new tracks I’d started to survive the great hard drive failure of 2011. To celebrate this I thought I’d give it out everyone. Making good use of Miles David classic ‘Blue’, which I also suggest you track down, it’s aimed at the late night/ early morning/ lazy pool day kinda vibe. Enjoy anyhow.

After buying this 45 in the winter, i fancied knocking up a little edit that spliced the a and b sides on one convenient tune. the bog standard extensions and a little kick drum, and its sounding nicely in some of my recent sets. here ye go. whilst you’re here, have a search for other bits by the intruders and purchase some nice vinyl.
