Kelvin house producer DP Ram's tracks on side one show an overt free dub influence as beats tangle with
a deep roots vibe whilst swaggering synth-lines come flying through the mayhem, rolling their eyes and
gnashing their teeth. Side two features Ashen, beginning with a cool downtempo
middle eastern mystery, before moving on to the jazz influenced Wadada.

First release from TENSER, Turnaway and With Me pit spaced out Techno vibes
against warped basslines and yearning vocals, which float on through from a distant plane, whilst
Organ Rocker and Swaby Dub are two instrumentals which mix ethereal electronic textures
with insistent percussion and a murky kick, whilst sliding bassweight sullenly drifts
amongst the beats to unsettling effect.

Second release from Kelvin nu soul boy TENSER pits the sodtware helium assisted
vox of Sheffield's premier jazz chanteuse Ms Brown over rattling quasi-junglist breaks and deeply overdriven
bass drones. The instrumental Interchange paints a dystopian picture
of a bus station at night.
