The long-awaited and highly-anticipated debut CD from New York’s amazing young new talent Access To Arasaka has finally arrived. With a steady momentum of buzz from fans and critics over the past year, remix collaborations with Zentriert ins Antlitz, Aphorism, and Totakeke, and more-than-well-received compilation appearances for the Hymen Records and Tympanik Audio labels, Access To Arasaka now offers the true scope of his capabilities with his innovative new album ‘Oppidan‘.
Out now as a co-release between Spectraliquid and Tympanik Audio.

The 2nd LP from Berlin's Vertical67. His last album, 'Reflect' remains among the most popular ACPs to this day, but this one certainly tops it, feeling more like a complete album. The themes are similar, at times uplifting and psychedelic, others dark and melancholic, but his production has come on a long way. In our opinion, this LP deserves to rank with the best of 2009, and is certainly among the best Acroplane releases to date.
"Recently, working with MC's has become a central part of my sound. Having the opportunity to work with talents like Warrior Queen, Jah Balance, Eccleton Jarrett (of Jammy's studios, JA), the insanely talented Lady Grew, MC Quilombola, krakken...and many many more, has manifested in a gruffer bass heavy style (a change from the snare rattled tracks of my yester years).
In this collection I have decided to feature Jah Balance & Eccleton Jarrett exclusively to try to give some insight into the genisis of the last year and a half's work. It's nice for me to be able to show these as it gives some grounding to my recent releases; Crossroads 7" on alphabetset, Proper Horror Show on MMR/Ghetto Quietly, Well Sick (upcoming for !Kaboogie) and some random other tracks that pop up here and there." - Kong
Just turn on your Fisher Price Cassette-Recorder and let your mind wander to the first time you played with fire. Or when you swiped your little brother's matchbox cars. It's all hidden between the stumbling beats and the squeaky little melodys. And remember: you don't have to like this music, you have to nurture it!
Colour Codes is Red Box Recorder's second album on Acroplane, and is a definite improvement on last year's debut. Embracing a gamut of different styles, and incorporating live instrumentation and orchestral samples alongside intricate programming, it is an upbeat and colourful record.

The brothers John and Paul Healy, collectively known throughout the world as Somatic Responses, are still native residents of a small industrial mining community snugly located in the southwest region of Wales. Somatic Responses are into complex dislocated & broken beats, distorted intelligent constructions, fascinating sonic structures, force and sweetness intertwined.
If their early productions were of the hardcore and techno kind, and while they later moved on to breakcore territories, Somatic Responses have now embraced more up-to-date and modern sounds and tackled the current dubstep sound that has taken their native UK by storm, and are ready to out-bass pretty much everybody else.
Mercury is definitely an important release for SR as it displays their progression further into dubstep & it's ever mutating siblings. A shape of things to come AND some of their best material for some time.
