Release Notes :
Appleblim and Al Tourettes on a garagey tech-house mission for Aus Records,
backed with a prime Linkwood remix! Their A-side effort 'Lipsmacker' finds a
contemporary sweetspot between the fractured Todd Edwards inflections of Akufen
and the garage techno of Tim Wright, leaning towards Panorama Bar rather than
Tresor vibes. 'Mr Swishy' on the flip cuts a techy garage figure with twitching
synth bursts and a swampy bassline, but Linkwood reconfigures it as a
beautifully judged deep houser finished with his refined analog touch.

[b]What we say[/b]
Will Saul’s Aus imprint returns with the Lipsmacker EP,
 a collaboration between Bristolbased bass enthusiasts
 Al Tourettes and Appleblim. Continuing Aus’ recent trend
 of fusing elements of traditional house and techno with
 the sub frequencies and rhythms of dubstep, the EP comes
 as a slice of forward thinking electronic music that continues
 to reinforce the ever-strengthening relationship between the
 two musical camps. Al Tourettes, known to his Mum & Dad
 as Alec Storey, has been playing drums since he was 9. Beginning
 his DJ career at age 15, Alec began composing on an Atari two years
 later. After studying Creative Music Technology at Uni - incidentally
 the same course taken by Appleblim, Gatekeeper and Wedge
 - releases on Growth, KracktroniK and Input Output followed.
 Laurie Osbourne aka Appleblim needs little introduction. Head
 of Applepips and cofounder of Skull Disco, Appleblim has been
 at the forefront of the bass scene since its early inception. After
 meeting Al Tourettes in 2008, the duo’s musical partnership
 and combined love for techno and dubstep soon resulted in
 remixes for Phonica Records and Ostgut Ton. Alongside their debut
 Aus release, 2010 will also see the release of a collaborative remix
 of Underworld. The productions of South-East London based producer
 Deadboy tap into the cities rich musical heritage, referencing everything
 from Scott Walker to early 90’s hardcore, in the midst of a rich dose of UK
 garage and house. With his tracks sharing the same sense of futuristic
 melancholia as the first wave of Detroit techno artists like Derrick May
 and Juan Atkins, his DJ sets showcase his love of Basic Channel
 and similarly dissonant dub-techno. Scottish producer Nick Moore,
 also known as Linkwood, provides the final mix of the release.
 Rounding the EP off on a deeper note, the Prime Numbers producer
 showcases his typically confident mix of 80’s boogie, Detroit techno, house and deep soul.
