After nearly a year since their last artist offering, MDC have returned with a four track EP from the Berlin wonder kid, Max Graef.The Love Tapes show the full spectrum of Max's capabilities from A Tale of Love's head nodding, to the stomping relentlessness of As If. A well-rounded EP that will find itself being played a few times through out the night.During a brief trip to Australia this previous summer, Max passed on some cassettes filled with tracks he had written in frustration over a girl he left behind in Berlin. The raw emotion on the tapes was so immense that we had to make the transfer to vinyl for the world to hear.What ensues are four tracks written for the hopeless romantic in all of us; an organic way to release the emotions felt when caught up on another person. Maybe you've just discovered happiness, or perhaps you've just fallen out of love, whatever it may be, The Love Tapes will resonate directly with your soul.

Originally released in 1986, Brother Resistance's Rapso Take Over blends calypso, reggae, disco, funk and poetry to create the artist’s signature Rapso sound. TIP!A progressive form of poetry from Trinidad and Tobago, Rapso emerged as a means by which to articulate the daily suffering symptomatic of the social unrest afflicting the nation throughout the 1970s and 80s. Brother Resistance played a significant role in the Rapso movement, deploying his music to spread messages of hope and liberation. The authorities took Brother Resistance’s rising status seriously, destroying what they could of his studios and in the process leaving only a small amount of his music in circulation.Now for the first time we can hear Brother Resistance’s finest work remastered and repressed. The music and the message live on through Rapso Take Over’s stripped back rhythms infused with steel and strings, all carried by the voice of resistance.
