P-Vine: ...The best of 90s R&B "storehouse"!　Jeff Redd's fantastic second album, miraculously reissued on CD in 2015, is now available on analog LP for the first time, much to the delight of 90s freaks!Jeff Redd's first album, "A Quiet Storm" (Uptown), was produced by the Untouchables, a unit of producers who would later lead the Hip Hop/R&B world, and Divante Swing, an R&B group just before their debut with Jodeci. (1985,'90), debuting as a major newcomer with hits such as "I Found Lovin'" and "Love High".After the success of the first album, the long-awaited follow-up, "Down Low," was scheduled for release in 1993, but was switched to Manhattan/EMI following the sudden closure of the black music division of the MCA label. The album was postponed shortly before its release. The album was postponed just before its release, and only a very small number of copies were recovered and released on the market, never to be heard again... a hidden item in the shadow of 90s R&B history!　Despite the tragedy, the production is somewhere between New Jack Swing and Hip-Hop Soul, and Jeff's voice is irresistible! It is!

Efficient Space: ...3AM Spares is a new compilation of Australian Electronic Dance Music selected by Andras and Instant Peterson, encompassing the darker sounds and later nights of the 1990s and beyond. Following on from forerunner compilation Midnite Spares, this double LP draws from local 12” releases, CDRs and the archives of community radio station 3RRR FM to make a diverse and pumping scene audible once more. No longer confined to beer barns and back rooms, this generation of producers, DJs, clubbers and ravers spilled out into pavilions, warehouses and paddocks, embracing a new culture of machine-metaphor and chemical love.Future Sound of Melbourne’s warehouse triptych Resist The Beat embodies a time when the country’s youth united with juggernaut stamina, partying beyond the long arm of the law. Restored from the ARIA award-winning trio’s original DATs, this debut 12” incited label offers from Jeff Mills, Frank De Wulf and Carl Cox.Released by the likes of Clan Analogue, Creative Vibes, Volition, DanceNet, Juice and Psy-Harmonics, this era’s material has evaded sufficient digital documentation until now, some lost in the decommission of Angelfire, Tripod and Geocities websites. Often these bedroom experiments and one-off collaborations existed solely for compilation inclusions, a plausible scenario for the mysterious Inner Harmony. In the case of Tetrphnm, graphic artist Jeremy Dower’s glacial sub-bass was digitised from the only known CD-R copy, preserved by the 3RRR FM library.
