Japanese digital dub legend Takafumi Noda, aka Mystica Tribe, and Dutch synth wizard Danny Wolfers aka Legowelt reunite for their highly anticipated second album under the Noda & Wolfers project following the modern classic “tascam Space Season”.
EVIL FADES IN ECHO offers a unique concoction of digital dub, raw lo-fi electro and acid hall influences, creating a deviant captivating sound. Wild untamed synths clash with raw sloppy rhythm boxes. Seductive spring reverbs dissolve into clouds of space echo. Heavy intense bass crumbles on decaying fuzzy tapes while Noda’s haunting melodica melodies elevate this LP to new heights!
Big tip, don’t sleep on this one!

“Heavy Vibes” is a killer fusion of bass and social consciousness by dub poetry don Roger Robinson, seamlessly blending the power of the written word with the raw energy of the soundsystem.
With a voice oscillating between soulful falsetto and deep thunder the verses hit as hard as the beats: you’ll find yourself dancing, but more importantly, you’ll find yourself thinking.
Featuring deadly riddims old and new by Tapes, disrupt, Naram, Jura Soundsystem, Maffi and Bo Marley – and coming with stunning cover art by Kiki Hitomi!

Ten unreleased deadly digi riddims from the myspace era by Copenhagen’s Maffi crew, dubbed out into 3D space by disrupt in 2024.
Taking its name from a crucial Firehouse mixtape series, “Mastermind Computer Style” is full of raw nuggets of simplistic beauty, all made in trusty Propellerhead Reason between 2006 and 2009.
Some of these riddims were a firm part of early Jahtari live shows, played out on sound systems all over the globe, but never have been cut to vinyl until now.
Raw, primitive CyberDancehall at its best, nostalgic and oddly futuristic at the same time, this album is quickly becoming RoboCop’s favourite playlist when going to work.

Pure Wicked Tune is a mixtape-style collection of extracts & cut-ups, taken from DIY cassette recordings featuring rare groove and “soul blues” soundsystems playing at early morning house parties and blues dances – mostly in South & East London – between the mid 1980s & early 90s.
Absolutely fascinating to hear Ragga lyrics over Barry White soul records, vibes are spot on – plus lots of hilarious party moments!
MUST HAVE album on Death Is Not The End! Limited copies, don’t sleep on this one!
Also, do not miss its sequel, Bristol Pirates! Mega recommendation!
