Grid Ravage
Grid Ravage’s debut album for Dropa Disc sounds organic, just like their live performances, with the music being born on the spot.

Tribe of Colin
Juddering bangers and hypnotic body-rockers, dazed spells and rootical wig-outs spun from early Detroit, West African field recordings, dub and beatbox hip hop; rough as fuck and clatteringly percussive, but shot through with a gritty numinousness. Soundboy techno; Stokey worries. Gorgeously sleeved in midnight-black art-paper, intricately printed in silver with the visionary photography of Katrin […]
