Label-boss [a]pendics.shuffle teams up with the legendary Mr. C for a dancefloor masterpiece titled "Something Strange." On remix duties is Mike Shannon, with a slab of disgusting tech/house dub. Also on board is Affie Yusuf, from House Of 909, slowing down the pace and laying it out.

"Carola was born in Rome and at the tender age of eight transported to Naples, Italy with mom and dad. At eighteen she left home, traveled north and began hanging out in the world of dance music, which introduced her to electronic sounds. She was captivated. The sonority of these manipulated compositions opened the port to an enchanted voyage, delicately preparing for her debut. Her DJ carrier started in 1997, from that point on, Carola plunged in compulsively exploring and experiencing sounds inspiring her personal path. In 2002, she graduated in sound engineering and worked for studio productions in Rome and Milan. Then, it was back to Naples. In her apartment, she built a studio where her impulse twisted and shaped ingenious sounds into her own sleek, funky style. After achieving her first releases (Bush, Southsoul Records) in 2005 she set up Titbit Music, which has rapidly become one of the 'it' labels for funky, minimal techno. She has also established the label Claque Musique and the net sister Claque Net as a playground for both well-known artists and newcomers. Carola lives in Naples, where she continues her exploration and love of release through music. Adjunct has selected two out of a number of excellent tracks. Funky, sleek and beautifully produced pieces accompanied by yet another bizarre PSB remix."

"London resident, French-born Sebastian Russell has credits to his name on labels like Milnor Modern, Telegraph and Safari Electronique. A producer with a distinct sonic signature and a talent for creating infectious jacky grooves, Sebastian is now a proud new member of the Adjunct faculty. Acid shower drizzle kicks 'Sexus' off, melts down the tile floor and drops all the way down to the eternal basement of Seb's studio. The party is joined by squealing inorganic beings, ferocious drum computer and turns into a micro-fireworks-tech-house celebration. [a]pendics.shuffle effectively neutralizes the acid with bubbly alkaline, mischievous beats and a syncopated re-sequence of the original's acid stream. 'The Wing Chun Punch' and 'British Fart' continue the journey beneath the city streets. Swung and extra-tight beat programming, FX knobs on max, diabolical vocal warnings and other unexpected occurrences lead the way through the abstract realm of Sebastian's land of wonders."

"Tokyo-based Takuya Morita is one of the most promising young Japanese artists in the minimal techno scene. After releases on the Morr Music and CYMK labels, he is now debuting on Adjunct with his most uncompromising and powerful dance music to date. A single string pattern opens up 'Woman and Shadow,' its hypnotic summon is soon answered by syncopated bleepy patterns and staccato synth. Dark vocal samples permeate the scene, the bass warbles the floorboards, the cavalcade of rhythms soon turns its march into a gallop, a maddened late night ride of Takuya's wild stallions. Jeremy P. Caulfield catapults the original's sound particles into space and conducts their fall into a gracious dance of echoing and reverberating beauty. 'Broken Memory' is another fundamental parable in the Book of The Morita Law of Techno. The high priest reads the Proverbs, his chimes of trance hypnotize the crowds through an infinite vertigo of magnetizing dance rhythms. A serious effort for serious holiday celebrations."

"The names of Joshua Kit Clayton and Sutekh need little introduction. The two residents of the city by the bay have released inspiring records on the now-classic Californian imprints Cytrax and Delay, as well as on the brilliant labels Force Inc, ~scape, Background and Soul Jazz. Kit Clayton's 'Loroco' is a synthesizer purist anthem. Raw sawtooth patterns charge forward, dense tribal drum beats jab and jagger rendering the exotic flower reference of the title irrelevant. Jorge Savoretti invites friend Lucas Mari for a ritual burning of the original. The two let the fires smolder and the ashes dance, a swarm of electric bees is out for the precious honey of the 'Loroco.' Sutekh delivers a track we'd like to label an instant classic. The beat is electro, twisted rhythms gurgle through the track, gracious synthesizer melodies flow from the machines of a digital troubadour. In Dilo's rework, the original melody dances and flirts with his Latin rhythms in ecstatic celebration above the blue and windy southern seas. A musical interpretation of child-like exuberance and awe takes this little cart of a 12" no closer than halfway to the stars."

"Straight from the epicenter of the Argentine techno quakes, producers Franco DiLorenzo and Gonzalo Urtizberea have launched their first torpedo on Adjunct. A powerful duo proudly presented by Adjunct. Rising global temperature has driven Dilo & Gurtz far into the subsoil coolness of the 'Tundra.' Sinewave oscillating on and on through layers of joyful harmonies, mischievous patterns interplay, compressors can hardly contain the kick and bass tandem. A digital nightingale serenade for the late night free flights. On side B 'Polaroso' continues the Nordic excursions. As the numbers on the global parallels scale diminish the suspense grows and the fog thickens. Faint radio transmissions buzz on dead channels, the Morse alphabet re-invented, while the twelve dog sled pushes its way further and further into the frozen lands. 'Zorro de Hielo' wraps the record perfectly. The gracious walk of the fox filmed through the lens of an unfamiliar apparatus."

With John Tejada remix. "The second 12" collaboration between Ken Gibson and Mikael Stavöstrand brings two more liberated compositions to our listeners. 'Take Me Higher' takes itself further out beyond the world of free-style electronic music tethered by a four-four beat, and leaves itself there. Guest vocalist Erika Alexandersson provides late night melancholy, her voice echoing from a small box (or perhaps a large cell) in a lonely narrative of preconscious poetry. The synth patterns riff like a cyborg guitar hero, tender transients layered in mist, as accidental orcas dive deep into a whirlpool of dissonant dreams. Tejada's remix builds on the solid rhythmic foundation of the original track, bypasses the cognitive process and directly permeates the cerebellum, effectively luring the listener into aurally-induced hypnosis (hip-nosis?). Slow-acting acid sweeps wax and wane, while thumbnail voice sketches occasionally burn through the mix, creating new currents of vocal turbulence through the original track's surf. 'Small Boxes' is the 'to be continued' tag at the end of this record, a pagan dance setting out on a restless hero's journey, cut short by this edit to only 6 min..."

"Adjunct Records proudly presents the first release in a series of 12" collaborative projects. Label head Kenneth James Gibson and Ian Read (a new Adjunct artist known as Altiply) take up on the first adventure and indenture their talents to the ominous Master of Ceremonies of the Cabaret Noir. 'Lonely Payback,' an unapologetic dancefloor rattler, rides on a relentless bassline of compressed elasticity, spraying infectious rhythms through the unsanitized tubes of Ken's synthesizers while a faceless nightrider recites lines from the shredded pages of his apocrypha. Ian's sample framework and uncanny melodies complete the 'R' rating of this picture. The hands of Papa Sang Bass have thrown the original on the operating table of a B horror movie set and prepared for dissection. The surgery remains incomplete as the strong bond of drum and bass is indestructible, the vocals refuse to discharge and the rest of the original components keep popping out through the sloppy stitching job. In 'Simply Candid' the duo test the endurance of their machines by sculpting a cascade of barbaric synth patterns, one over the next, twisting the control knobs on the primitive effects. Archaic shuffled beats are stomping forward, hammering away for the entire six minutes and twenty-three seconds."

"Peter F. Spiess known for his fantastic releases on Klang, Contexterrior and his own label of Mystery Alpha, has now joined the Adjunct clan with his first 12" entitled 'Wortkarg,' a descent deep into the starry summer nights. Frisky and mischievous 'Scissors Tailed Fly Catcher' chirps miniature sounds and organ stubs sending the gracious king bird sky high through windy filter sweeps and through bubbly sine-wave clouds. 'Frog In Hand' wobbles in an electromechanical dance, filtered bass and drums, loopy synths and samples laying down the theme for the miniature vaudeville of the amphibians. The title-track 'Wortkarg' is a deep techno emission that comes slicing through vapors of analog oscillations, making its way deeper and deeper into a dark vortex where the only light seen are microscopic fireworks of high frequency sonic particles. Ambient 'Spielmacher' ends the records with ever-growing cosmic pulsation, estranged percussion play and the friction within an unfamiliar matter of low viscosity."
