It’s been a long time, but G-Stone never left you without a beat to step to. Let them eat cake. Or fight with it. A birthday party without presents? No f**king way. 25 tracks – 13 new songs & 12 classics – will be available as free MP3 downloads from April 16th to May 16th at www.g-stoned.com.

Eighteenth (oh my...) release is from is a Lithuanian project of Leon Somov - a talented producer and singer Juste (aka Jazzu). One of their tracks was already spinning in the charts of several popular radio stations. I guess you already understood that it would be pretty naive to think about this project as a freshly created - Leon Somov has been creating music for more than 10 years already. His musical carrier begin in a metal band and much alter he became a member of a popular Lithuanian Inculto band. At present he is studying sound engineering in SAE institute in London - this is the place where Offline EP was born. The past of Jazzu is also colourful - her musical roots lie in jazz music but she has become a singer of Milky Lasers band. Neverthless she's now studying Jazz vocal in London. So we are really proud presenting you their debut release. The word "Amazed" for the feelings we had while listening to Offline EP is just a poor expression of what we really felt - we more than enchanted by this music so we couldn't not afford not releasing it on our net label. Leon himself speaks about this project "I feel a lot of freedom in what I do, but sometimes I have a healthy fear that everything I create is getting old in matter of days and even hours. I am falling in love every time I start create something. Seriously. Without love things just don't get together for me. During these moments I try to express myself in every way I can. I also feel grateful to Juste - although she is more into live music we are really good at working together. Actually I think that this music is worth more than being released only in Lithuanian market - that is one of the main reasons I chose Sutemos for releasing our material". By the way, we are already getting ready for a remix release of this EP. The fact that the tracks of Leon Somov will be remixed by such artists as Michael Fakesch (ex Funkstorung), Deadbeat, Marsen Jules (he produce a remix for Depeche Mode not so long ago), Joel Tammik, tells more about the quality of their music much more than an hour of my fiction. Actually, we don't even know exact line up of remixers - it might be even more impressive. Enjoy. As you always do.

Paul Croker is a versatile artist, reflected by his various musical influences from past to present. His love affair with the vinyl format started at the age of 4, when he was given his first 7″ single, and would grow throughout the next few decades throughout the Hip Hop, Trip Hop and Big Beat movements. During the early years, he ruined a few parentally-owned record players teaching himself to scratch and mix records. From the age of 14 he learnt the guitar, joining like minded friends from school, playing in Zeppelin/Hendrix/Floyd influenced bands, gigging all over the country at pubs, clubs and festivals. Finding particular resonance with Eastern influenced sounds, he experimented with alternate tunings and backwards phrasing, forming the core of his sound. In the 90’s after becoming immersed in the Big Beat scene in London and Brighton, Paul began to experiment with creating Digital based music, finding an affiliation with the use of samples and loops to build soundscapes. DJ’ing in local clubs, he learnt to beat mix and also layer sounds within a live environment. His first release, ‘Beats for the Subverted’ is primarily influenced by early DJ Shadow, Portishead and UNKLE. The simple aim was to set about recording a vinyl-only sample based work, overdubbing bass and percussion where necessary. The result is a dark, ambient hip hop flavoured album, with a light social commentary. Following the coherency that we have always sustained at the Lab, PS012 is not what you would call our typical ambient/noise release. In the same way that Paul approached us with his fabulous work, and surprised us with his sound, talent and concepts we hope that you will also feel what we felt, the many times we have already heard these tracks. For those that still need a “logic” explanation the answer is very simple: We love it! And that has always been the reason behind every release we have made so far and will continue to be for many more to come. Paul would like to thank to: My wonderful understanding family & friends, all at PublicSpaces Lab, my Twitter family, and Ableton & Technics..
“We have rarely experienced here at the Lab the build up of expectation behind a release like we felt for this one. “Beats for the Subverted” was one of the releases that reached out from our usual listening base and brought other listeners to the Lab. Right after [PS012] was released we started to get asked, by mail, in talks or on twitter when the next release from Paul Croker would see the light of day. That moment has arrived and the wait was well worth it. Dustmotes delivers with his “Containment Sessions” a release that is a few notches above “Beats for the Subverted”. When listening to it for the first time I could feel a sound that is more confident and, but I might be wrong, I think that has a lot to do with all the positive feedback Paul got from his first ever release. Nothing in “The Containment Sessions” is out of place and the same attention to details that Paul got us used to, is here. I feel privileged for being one of the few that got to enjoy this release before everyone else and it is my opinion that we all should be grateful to Paul for sharing his immense talent with us.” Alex Mendez, Barcelona, April 18th 2010
DigiTube, a.k.a. Scott Lachance, returns to the Lab and, once more, we are thrilled by having him releasing with us. After the really well received “Soundtracks for Media, Sound Tracks for Life” [PS016], DigiTube brings us a new EP that it is a true showcase of his talent. Relaxed, well humored and with moments of true musical genius, “Time to Chill” points out the future of the genre. To listen to in a relaxed environment with a daiquiri nearby.

'Virtual Dub 2' finds Manwel T remixing tracks by Blaminack (USA), Don Fe (Spain) & El Bib (UK), Dub FX (USA), Dubmatix (Canada), Haji Mike (Cyprus), Kris Naphtali (USA), Mr. Basha (Croatia), Phil Harmony (Germany), and The Manor (UK). Jamaican reggae legends Ranking Joe and Style Scott make superb appearances on two of the tracks. The oldest mix here ('Voice Of Ancients') is from 2006 but the first track on the album ('Future Past') has an early 70s feel! The same tune ends the set - but this time it features Style Scott on drums, who seemingly updates the track by a decade! Nuff styles, moods and textures in between, making this a worthy follow-up to the first 'Virtual Dub' album from last year. Manwel T at the control (PC) tower = Dub music with a capital D! Listen!
