STORY 006EP
|
After keeping quiet for a year, the mysterious Story label proves within three chapters that there still remains fresh and exciting yarns in house music worthy to be told. Swinging beat structures masterfully lined and interwoven with melancholic organ chords and sketches of blissed-out Rhodes melodies.

DKR 040EP
|
"Lastly, a tune that needs little introduction, the mighty 'Rocks and Mountains,' produced by Sly & Robbie at 29 Maxfield Avenue. While never officially released, this tune was made famous through play on UK sound systems. And while the vocalists of this tune have long been rumored to be the Mighty Travellers, who self-produced some tunes and cut an LP for Jammy's, no one has been able to definitively confirm this. This recording has been sourced straight from a mastertape containing dubplate mixes of other released and better known Sly & Robbie productions from the early 1980s, but which bore no notation of 'Rocks and Mountains' presence at all. So decades later, the mystery endures, but the music finally comes into the light and speaks for itself. One thing is certain though, the mighty sound of Channel 1 still rules in 2011!"

STORY 005EP
|
$12.00
NOT IN STOCK, SPECIAL ORDER
Another anonymous high priest of the Secret New House World Order presents three deep tracks in the best Chicago tradition. "Feel About" exposes a basic jacking beat somewhere around the magical 120bpm range, an almost sedative walking bass line, swinging organ chords and vocal snippets that command your butt to shake. "Gruteaussichten" packs a harder punching groove and a slightly eerie atmosphere before a warm shower of synth chords hits the euphoria switch in your subconscious. Resistance is futile.

HOTEL 002EP
|
After Hotel 1 hit the house-hospitality industry by storm, part 2 picks up with 2 tracks based on a special "make it up then break it down" formula. While the drums form the backbone for both A and B sides, the musical elements are refreshed with each track, allowing us 2 special cuts based on the same groove. "Room 201" is a slow-building, acidic workout while "Room 202" is a slightly more stripped jam for a darker, more deviant journey.

STORY 004EP
|
Another main player of the current elite of deep house producers makes an anonymous appearance on the Story imprint. Right from the beginning of "Fascinated," we get slowly woven into a maze by the spellbinding introduction of a sultry soulstress. "Taj Mahal" has a more robust, earthy beat with tabla and twangy sitar sounds panning around, making you see all these groovy colors. "You Better Find A Job" features warm, pulsating bass, psychedelic feedback and far-out flangers.

STORY 003EP
|
An acid house veteran that followed the whole UK rave progression to harder techno, Unknown harks back to his early influences. Cuts like "The Rub" or "DH-13" slowly sneak-up on you until you are immersed in the smoky, dub-filled atmosphere, akin to the psychedelic soul of Motown's Norman J. Whitfield or RZA's mystic hip-hop soundscapes. "Whobadu" trades a 4/4 pattern for a looser, hand-clapping '80s funk groove, while "Olufeme" is a stripped-down, Fela-style Afro groover with mighty, dubbed-out horn loops.
