"It isn’t often you grab a 4 track EP and find each track worthy of a spin. Keeping an energetic and soulful consistency throughout, 'Various Voices' delivers several tasty flavors including funky, deep house and (on the stand out, Zeroid’s 'Music') enough tribal rhythm and power to move an entire village to the dance floor." -Review - 411 Nightguide / October 2002 by Paul Dailey

ZEROID - MUSIC Very effective stompy - tribal - house from Four01 Recordings producer - MattLok. This one has all the right elements of a great song. Rolling bassline, shufflin tribal percussion with a killer of a build-up ended with a classic 'ooouuhh', bringing it right back to the rhythm. Feel it!

RENNIE 'DUBNUT' FOSTER - DESERTED Deep tech-house madness from Rennie. This track is laced with analogue goodness. Bits, rattling shakers and tweaked freq's are incorporated to create a very solid jam. Hard panned tribal percussion followed by hard-panned abstract vocals.OOOOHHH! Deep Sounds!

RENNIE 'DUBNUT' FOSTER - MIRROR IN THE MORNIN' Ever heard "Schlam me" coupled with tight, teched-up bongo blips? Well if you haven't, then you will enjoy this jam. A dope bass synth rolls along with a tight high-hat and a vocal that sings- "You, you I see in my mirror in the mornin' Instead of seein' me"... thanks MG!

dJ dAb - BE GOOD SOUL Fat kicks and solid music is a formula for success. dJ dAb has captured a pumpin vibe with funky horn riffs and some vocal snippets added on. Pretty nice from the guy who makes all this record stuff happen.

With a production resume dating back to '92, Jacob London (Bob Hansen and Dave Pezzner) are veterans of tech-house scene. Formerly Vitus Dance, Jacob London formed in '97 as an outlet for their more soulful techno-house hybrids. In '00 Jacob London joined forces with Jon Lemmon's up-and-coming deep house label Viva! to create an outlet for the Jacob London sound. Hence squid:records was born. Their tracks have been remixed by 20:20 Vision / Playhouse affiliate Random Factor (Carl Finlow), Swedish king of twisted house - Tony Senghore (UTC, Gung, Panhandle) and Grayhound's DJ Garth. Future remix offerings by Qburns Abstract Message (Astralwerks), David Duriez (Brique Rouge) and Caliman (Tak Records, UK).

"Oh man, get ready for this shit. Jacob London is turning heads with his mix of funk, tech-house and tough sensibilities. 'Don’t Fear The Peepi' is one of those solid funky house jams that will rock your peak hour dancefloors and have them screaming for more..." - Review - FeedBack Magazine by Coy West

DON'T FEAR THE PEEPI Jacob london offers us a chunky slice of Prince influenced house with a nice throbbing bassline. More grooves than you can shake a stick at. This one sticks mate!

STAY OUT OF MY POCKETS Awesome track! A tech-house, bongo vibe meets underground house at its best. A nice hoovering keyboard line accents a deep groove followed by vocal edits keep the jam glued together for maximum potency - Free the funk baby!

HYDROGENATED FUNK (RICK V REMIX) Rick V of 'In Tha Mix' fame, offers us a nice slab of chunk house. A nice tribal beat starts us out, followed by a chicago-ish bassline and disco stabs enter to create a devastating track. Could be canned by Fiasco, Sneak and the likes. Proper!

HYDROGENATED FUNK Cool disco groover with synth stabs that build nicely. Should do well in the clubs. Kinda cut-up disco in the beginning. Progresses nicely into full-on jam.

"This is the first release from dJ dAb's new funky / tribal / disco house label out of Washington, and if the first release is any indication, this is a label to keep on your radar. This upbeat record features essential tracks from Vitamin D, Sean Biddle & Ben Pound (Mile High Club) and a slammer of a distorted vocal workout by The Floorfillerz. Overall, these tracks have soul and are worth checking out. Look out for more great releases from these guys in the future." - Review - FeedBack Magazine / July 2002 by Damon Williams

DJ VITAMIN D - SUBBED DUBBED Nice up tempo stuff, from the man who brought us, 'The Latin Track' on IHR, the chart-topping 'The Lift' and years earlier had us all sceaming "give me a mother f*cking breakbeat". Electronic Squelches and dirty warehouse 4/4 mayhem wrapped in a vocal reminiscent of the early '90 San Francisco house movement.

SEAN BIDDLE - LOW-LIFE Sean Biddle, 1/2 of The Floorfillerz and the Mile High Club, takes us on a true disco-house journey. 4/4 kick and up front bongos create the flow for this jam, building on a classic / vocal / disco sample mutilated all to hell. Props to the funk! Similar to 2 Black Ningas, Rhythm Masters and Stacy Kidd.

THE MILE HIGH CLUB - MILES AHEAD Possibly best known for their release on OM Records, Mile High Club's Sean Biddle and Ben Pound, deliver the goods. Layer upon layers of disco, funk, stereo-percussion and a sound derived from a '80s classic, will pack the floor. Do your homework! This is Miles Ahead!

THE FLOORFILLERZ - GIVE SOME LOVIN' The Floorfillerz aka Dj Vitamin D and Sean Biddle, have consistently released and remixed tracks for too many labels to mention. They're at it again with a house groove for the new millennium. Beautiful breakdown with shuffling hand claps and a female vocal hook that sings "touch me, give some lovin". Quality Stuff here folks!

'Grinder' to be featured on 'DJ ESP Woody McBride - "I Am Psyphic You Know..."' full length CD on Bush Records UK - to be released late 2002

We are so lucky to have hooked up with, what we consider to be, a techno genius -DJ ESP Woody McBride. Woody delivers the goods here with what we expect to be a big one- the GRINDER EP.

GRINDER Awesome dirty house - techno workout. Slamming 4/4 beat with detroit influenced keys rock, then... Boom!! Sub-bass kicks are layed over the track. This is real pleasing to the ear. Frequencies are the highlights. Twisted!

EXCITER Another treat, 4/4 workout with moody pads that enhance the techno-ish beat. Deep subs come in halfway for added mayhem. Sounds like trancetters but new. Always need one of those in the box!

DECEIVER Oh my word! This is a 12 minute slab of what techno is meant to be. Muddled bass and whirling effects, topped off with jackin snare roll edits. Fans of Green Velvet / Chi-house will be interested. Phat all the way through. The shit!

Chris Anderson's unique production style and his thirst for hard funky beats, has him well on his way to making a serious mark in the underground scene. His tracks are played by the worlds top DJs, like DJ Dan, Carl Cox, Terry Mullan and many more. In the early '90s Chris teamed up with Andrei Morant to produce tracks for Labworks, Germany, as well as their own releases. Both Phreak 3 and The Syndicate - 'Thud' received international attention, with 'Thud' being played by Billy Nasty on BBC radio. His Blubba Boy Remix for Caffeine is still being rocked by DJ Dan and Angel Alanis and many others. His track 'Overdose' on Catalyst was featured on Donald Glaude's 'Off the Hook' CD on Moonshine, and Scott Henry's 'Buzz' CD on Ultra, as well as getting hammered all over the world.

No Bullshit EP' made it's white label rounds, creating quite a stir at the 2002 Winter Music Conference, first played to the masses by the Super - Dj Carl Cox at Crobar and Nikki Beach, Miami.

'Rolling Bass' was featured on a Ministry of Sound exclusive radio mix by Olav Basoski and is featured on 'Carl Cox - Mixed Live 2' at Area 2 - Detroit (Moonshine Music - Nov 2002)

MOTHRA Tribal-techno as the title might suggest. This funky bass-driven builder offers a classic tribal chant and a crazy "whoop" the emanates from parts unknown. Beware of the 'Mothra'.

WATCH OVER THEM A fierce Nu-school break-tech jam, complete with a hard 909'ish kick. Watch out for the solid percussion and tweaky noises moving wildly from left to right. Chris is the man!

ROLLING BASS Gritty techno, shuffling mid-highs and a steady house kick thump moves through your system. Monster tune alert!!! Warehouse territory.

'LOST IN THE MATRIX' marks the first vinyl release from Donald Glaude (Moonshine Records)(Respect Recordings) and dJ dAb (Solid Rate Studios)(RedHanded Records). 'Lost In The Matrix' was first featured as the opening track on the Moonshine Mix CD release 'Donald Glaude - Off The Hook' which has sold over 20,000 copies, but until now had not been released to vinyl.

"dJ dAb and Donald Glaude team up to produce a pair of pumped-up party rockers. 'Lost In The Matrix' has enough wiggle between the bombastic beats to get the girls going, while 'Loop Road' brings the pain for the speaker freaks." - Review - URB Magazine / August 2002 by Timothy Brown

LOST IN THE MATRIX dJ dAb and Donald Glaude unleash some scorching 4-on-the-floor techno beats with a touch of filtered edits and a subtle backing break. This one builds higher and higher then drops a sonic boom on the dance floor that will leave the crowd helpless to the rhythm.

LOOP ROAD Intelligent yet aggressive techno with a hint of tribal percussion and a build-up that will bring down the joint. Pure energy exudes from the tight kick, crisp highs and deep penetrating bassline. WATCH OUT!

"Although Tacoma-based dJ dAb deserves credit for a solid mix, it's the individual producers that standout on this new promotional compilation highlighting Free The Funk/Free Records' largely West Coast talent. Three tracks from Jacob London (Bob Hansen and Dave Pezzner) get the mix going in the tech-inspired, deep house direction, while Chris Anderson's funkier tracks, "Mothra" and "Rolling Bass" have been picked up by the likes of Sir Carl Cox at the WMC 2002. dJ dAb, Donald Glaude, and Sean Biddle (The Floorfillerz, Mile High Club) are a few of the other artists scattered throughout the mix. West Coast shit to make Mom proud.." - Review - Minty Magazine / May 2002 by Daniel Rosen
