ARTIST: BONG-RA TITLE: Soldaat Van Oranje LABEL: MIREX     DESCRIPTION: the soldier of orange... the dreaded dutchman launches his hardest and deadliest sonic ammunition so far. this album blasting shrapnel like a motherfucking soundgrenade. dark and twisted is the theme of this album, a rave gone sour by bad speed or xtc. the usual trademark bong-ra stabs punch through the dancefloor orientated tracks. a weird rollercoaster ride from ambience to straight-up-drum-and-bassy weirdness to 200bpm+ chaos!! soldaat van oranje is influenced by past, future and present in the netherlands, using themes, samples and melodies which are in someway related to his homeland, be it the persecuted satanic 'goatriders' from the middle ages, up and till the recent islamic fundamentalist attacks. not forgetting holland's finest musical creation...gabber...yes...gabber...not gabba! ITEM NUMBER: 07186 FORMAT: 12” PRICE: $7.50

ARTIST: DROP THE LIME TITLE: Step It Up LABEL: MIREX     DESCRIPTION: luca venezia, a. k. a. drop the lime, is reigning badass among the likes of kid606, knifehandchop, and other digital cut-up artists ripping up the back catalogs of early dance music imprints like xl and suburban base - taking wicked samples from the heyday of rave culture and other sources, cracking them wide open, and pouring everything from industrial noise to acid breaks into the mix. venezia has been musically inclined since youth, made mixtapes in elementary school and going bananas when rave broke in the us in the early 90s. now based in williamsburg, venezia pushes the boundaries of breakcore with the humor and sarcasm that went hand-in-hand to create rave and early techno‚s dark side, playing up the seedy underside of an originally urban music that was as much a reality-check as it was drug-fueled escapism. previous drop the lime releases on tigerbeat6, dreadpower/electroviolence, shockout, broklyn beats and ambush have garnered intense press scrutiny in the last year, but no one‚s prepared for the break madness on step it up. from the lead-off title track, which begins with the synth choir sounds from either 'blue monday' or underworld‚s 'dark train' (we‚re not sure which it is and venezia‚s not about to tell us), step it up barrels through six tracks of ricockulous, unrelenting break layering and sampling mash-up. on 'clockman,' the vibe is very much in tune with 4hero‚s dark raver anthem, 'mr. cook‚s nightmare,' peering through mournful female cries and bleepy lfo notes to roar on with a raucous ragga bass pulse. the tone gets even more morose on 'lost bklyn,' where classic spiraling d‚n‚b bass tones get a menacing industrial treatment, or on 'bullyhead,' which out does the horrific minor chord tones of that seminal kemical kids white label from 1993. step it up is nothing less than a red glowing poker in your brain; drop the lime recklessly cauterizes the memory of happy hardcore with speedhall heat.

ARTIST: ENDUSER TITLE: Calling The Vultures LABEL: MIREX     DESCRIPTION: haunted hip hop and broken grooves are the building blocks of endusers 'calling the vultures'. snaking its way from laid back tripped up melodies to poetic brain vibrating vocals and jungle beats. think zombie 2pac and peter murphy squaring off against a back drop of amen my brother. plush and tricked out, this album is a heady intoxicating delightful listen. dj scud, psychofreud, knifehandchop, post-trauma otto von shirach, kevin martin's the bug project: each one has severed dancehall's dreadlocked head and grafted it onto the body of their own brand of virulent breakbeat, from electro-gabba freak-outs to jungle doused in eleven rancid herbs and spices. in every case the whole transcends the parts, and disembodied caribbean rants find new life as they forge through pelvis-shattering beats like mental patients sailing an endless sea of ice-9. and no one right now is doing it as well as enduser.' ˆpitchfork ITEM NUMBER: 06888 FORMAT: 2 x 12” PRICE: $9.25

ARTIST: FANNY TITLE: Revelry & Decadence as the Right of Slaves LABEL: MIREX / ANT-ZEN   DESCRIPTION: Dedicated to the spirit of oppressed unmoneyed people the world over since the invention of currency. fraser runciman (a.k.a. fanny) has struck again with his second cd. 'Revelry and decadence...' is all new material - another attack of ultra-fast break beat clashes that are mixed with odd samples and grinding bass power. fanny's “take it or leave it” attitude is also visualized - if you can stand the cover then you won't have any problem with the sound. this record at the right volume feels like a kenworth truck running through your wide open mouth into your throat glory!!

ARTIST: SICKBOY TITLE: Into Oblivion LABEL: MIREX     DESCRIPTION: the tradition of combining perversity and playfulness into a true soundclash has never left post-modern music alone, acting as culture vultures ramping their way through carcasses of crispy produced megabits to vigour sampling of smirky headlines. sickboy has more than upped the ante with this hairsplitting slab of digitized breakestral chaos, never suggesting melodies or functional rhythms it draws from but juggling without remorse on the dividing line between acceptability and grimy flavoured cynism. crucially it's not the neglect of human consciousness, it 's the utter impulsive sheer excitement that blends in with a deliberate throwback of mostorted needle-sharping. imagine a dedicated manowar maniac with the 'wimps & posers leave the hall' principle, incarnated in a sparkling aural torturous display of mashed-up breakbeat galore. gonna clear rooms quicker than a megaton fire alert , and sure to leave the patriotic-minded behind with a hammer smashed face. music that'll stir up any godforsaken industrial pigeonhole with a whirlwind... mirex records presents a 6-tracks excerpt from the hilarious 'into oblivion' cd on vinyl format - enjoy! ITEM NUMBER: 06805 FORMAT: 12” PRICE: $7.80
