_________________________[ Release Notes ]________________________
In 2002 Sandwell District commenced operations. Over the course of
ten active years, they were responsible for disarming and
destabilizing the structures that gagged free-form expression,
drawing upon tenets of DIY-post-punk culture to disrupt accepted
ideas of exactly what it meant to be an artist, label, DJ or
producer. During this time, the collectiveÆs core members, Regis
and Function (along with label partner, Silent Servant), played a
key role in broadening the link between early electronic,
post-punk, and noise; an influence which continues to resonate
in the burgeoning, and shape-shifting, modern-day techno scene.
Both Function (Dave Sumner) and RegisÆ (Karl OÆConnor) investment
in techno stretches back more than 20 years. Alongside fellow art
terrorist Peter Sutton (Female), Regis has spearheaded the cult
label Downwards since 1993 and has released an impenetrably deep
discography dating back just as far.
With this mix, another genuine artefact has been added to the
Sandwell legacy, a document of their skewed presence and
existence, a treasure guaranteeing the kind of quality that
electronic music compilations rarely achieve.
In 1 hour 15 minutes, the pairing of Regis and Function succeed
in presenting and executing some of the most potent flourishes
in the Sandwell catalogue, distilling them into a coherent body
of work that masterfully defines the current techno zeitgeist.
Few contemporary producers have bettered the merciless techno
blueprint laid down by this collective, and few ever will.
