NozL recordings proudly present the stunning debut EP from NozL, a scratch production duo based in the North East of England. Having received consistent support from Turntable Radio (Resonance FM), and recently signing "IDK" to digital imprint GC3, NozL present their eagerly anticipated debut EP "The Man Who Brought Us Here Has Vanished".

NozL's inventive music will appeal to fans of many different tastes – hand picking their ingredients from various genres including jazz, ambience, pop, dubstep and folk.

Tracks such as Expanding Rebecca will demand the attention of electronic and ambient aficionados; Hip Hop fans will relish in the head nodding beats and luscious guitar of “Sharp Star Mumbles” and “Softly Falls The Night”; and the hypnotic melodies of IDK will entrance the chill-out heads.

NozL have pieced together this ambitious project almost entirely from scratching together small parts from many different vinyl records, side stepping the pit falls and creative dead ends of traditional computer programmed electronica. This future vision of electronic production gives NozL a unique and cutting edge sound of their own not to be missed.

Dj Wicked & Dj Void split a 12", 2 tracks each with several minutes of scratch sounds to round out each side. When I first heard the track Hypnosis, that Dj Wicked put out as a teaser for this vinyl only release, I knew I wanted one. These are fairly limited as I understand and I bought mine from Dj Wicked, who is currently touring with Boom Bap Project and a couple other northwest groups. As far as I know picking one up at the show is the only way to get your hands on one for now.

My Soundstation by - teeko (four one funk)
format: cd
hear sound clips: 4onefunk.com
buy: accesshiphop.com

the breakdown:
taken from an interview with teeko at spinscience.org.uk
"It has been quite the process - a chapter of my life that I'm sharing with the world. I started a handful of the songs almost 4 years ago, shortly after my last few appearances on the constrictive stages of the DJ battles. It embodies my changes and progression as a musician for this period of time. There are little stories that go with the songs and they are hinted on in the liner notes. There is a theme to the album that represents youth and purity. The turntable is an instrument in its most youthful or dawning stages, also during the course of this album I was working at an after school program where I was influenced by the innate creativity and uncurbed imagination of the youth. My SoundStation is my creative force, my instruments, my turntable. It features many renowned musicians from the scratch and jazz worlds, including The Dollar Bin Quintet (Mike Boo, Max Kane, B-Cause, J-1 and myself) and amazing saxophonist Kenny Brooks (check his status www.kennybrooks.com ) as well as award winning drummer Jay Lane (2002 CMA Drummer of the Year). Also the hidden bonus track features Collin Brown (keys) and Austin Bohlman (drums) of the bay area funk band Monophonics (www.monophonics.com). I feel very blessed to collaborate with these musicians and appreciate the respect they give to this evolution of sound."

Dj Void EP - by Dj void

format: cd
hear sound clips and buy: allskratch.net
the breakdown:
taken from a review at the willamette weekly
"From the southern rock guitar riffs, congas, brazilian-style flute and the robotic cymbal taps that hold it all together, DJ Void is onto some cross-cultural shit with “Cuntry Flute.” "
country flute is the track that really got me interested in this cd, but i found i really like the entire cd. also check allskratch.net for other releases, beat cd's and a dope tshirt.

check the media section for loops, flash loopers,
videos and mixtapes. i'm working on getting all this stuff
organized and searchable.

the upload sector is working and is ready to take your contributions.

if you have links to submit for the links page do it.

the breakdown:
Los Angeles based producer Dday One sets the
tone with “Sense of Balance” which combines
tranquil flutes and heavy drums creating the
melodic union of solitude and chaos. The next
contribution comes from Dextah the Chicago
native now residing in Los Angeles via the Bay
Area. In the form of “Untitled #541” Dextah
channels the energy of a classic Bomb Squad
track with punk aesthetics.
This project is strictly limited to 500 copies that
are hand numbered. The design + photography
is inspired by the song titles, which are
exclusive to this release.

Hand numbered, A few copies are autographed
by Dday One.
