* 2022 Re-press on limited edition white colour vinyl * Remastered (from original tapes) reissue of The Cabs' 7th studio album, originally released in 1985. ‘The Crackdown’ marks the point, after Chris Watson’s departure, when the Sheffield legends bridged earlier experimental urges with a funkier steez owing heavily to Afro-American dance music.

Tetrahymena
*2022 stock.* Detroit enigma Dopplereffekt has been resurrected, emerging from a grave of jagged detritus and technotrash for their first release since 2007. Whether in the ethereal voices and plunging bass of title track “Tetrahymena,” the unidentified flying objects droning maliciously in the thunderous weapon “Gene Silencing,” or the retch and hiss of arpeggiated bad trip “Zygote,” it’s a transportive journey of dread as only Dopplereffekt can create.
