Despite the title, the “Danceteria EP” is a record you likely wouldn’t have heard at the legendary New York night club, a bastion of both New and No Wave. However, Primitive World’s debut 12-inch possesses many off-kilter sensibilities that its regulars would have appreciated. This slab of vinyl arrives via Black Acre, the most recent […]

For all the labels that shroud themselves in secrecy nowadays, none of them seem to keep themselves off the map quite as well as New Kanada Recordings. The label has put out nearly 40 releases over the past six years, but trying to find much more information than that is nearly impossible. Each release posted […]

2011 proved to be Kevin McPhee’s breakout year and branded him as one of Canada’s new school house poster boys. Up until now he had the tendency to take the core elements of house music, throw them in a slow dysfunctional blender and sprinkle distant bleeps & edgy bass tones on top. Out of the […]
