  SAM HELL
  GUN CLUB

  Cat No: SIN035

Released: July 2008
  A: Original
  B: Hedflux Remix
  C: Badlands Ruffty Buffty Remix Digital Only
  D: Rektchordz Remix Digital Only

  Mr Sam Hell is back on his home label of Sinister Recordings. Following on from   his Bone Snow release - which hit No.1 in DJ Download   Sam Hell once again raises the bar with the monster of a release which is Gun   Club.

Producers, train spotters, House Djs, Breaks Djs and party goers will all be   clambering over each other to get a copy of Gun Club - it quite simply illustrates   the magical equilibrium that most producers strive to achieve, but very rarely   accomplish, not for Sam Hell.

With his latest outing, he showcases his ability to combine crystal clear production,   tech-fuelled funk and a pinch of Sam Hell magic resulting in a peak-time stormer!

On the flip we find nu-boy Hedflux fresh from his Annie Nightingale   mix on Radio One (commissioned after his first release!) and his initial release   Music Is My Weapon. And oh my! what a mix he has turned out for   his first ever remix effort!!!

Going deeper and techier than the original, Hedflux chucks a bit of psychedelic   funk in the picture and a bassline that will quite frankly scare   the shit out of ya yet he still manages to maintain that element of   funk that will have the floor jumpin!

As if that wasnt enough, we have the Badlands boys back from their Baobinga ID mix of Jump Up Get Hype. The guys have turned in a wobbly   rendition of the original which again will rock the foundations of the any club.

And we still have a Rektchordz mix to add to this, who stays faithful to his   bleepy-Breaks roots after his past two outings reaching the top 10 in the Beatport   chart.

It is rare to find a package with so much diversity, originality and universal   appeal Gun Glub is truly firing!

DIGITALIS
  Mind Games

  Cat No: SIN034
  Released: 22nd May 2008
  A1: Original
  B1: Introspective Remix

Following 'The Ride' and 'I Make Beats' Seb Taylor   aka Digitalis delivers his next installment on Sinister Recordings 'Mind   Games'.

Mind Games illustrates the versatility that comes to be expected from Digitalis   and indeed the ever-evolving Sinister label. Deep, bendy basslines weave their   way through tight beats and vocal edits resulting in another imaginative outing   from Digitalis.

Following up on his 'Dinamics' remix for Erase Records (No.1 in   DJDL) and his upbeat House-tinged 'Submit' (also currently at no1   on DJ Download), we find the ever-impressive Introspective back on remix duties.   Combining the crispest of production, the dirtiest of basslines and that little   bit of magic, it is little wonder that Introspective is recognized as one of   the most talented producers in Breaks scene. Listen and enjoy!

DJ Magazine

Less trancey than previous material, Digitalis returns to Sinister with this   trippy techno beast, complimented on the flip by Introspective's growlier take   with more bottom end.

  Apply The Breaks

A sinister release indeed with this minimalist electro inspired deep roller.   I like the oldskool dsk sample here, pushing this above the pack of some of   the more mediocre releases this month. Introspective follow the fashion for   the remix, teching it up a notch for the more mainstream floors. Solid release.

Nuskoolbreaks.co.uk
 
  Digitalis' new piece on the heavyweight known as Sinister is another fine peice   of techery. A melodic bassline that's got some heavy jog wheel action accompanies   a groovy breakbeat. Add some occasional vocals and whispering "The mind   keeps tripping, the philistines are ripping into me, what the fuck!" Occasionally   a filthy bassline hits in for a couple of steps, add some serious digital distortion   on even more vocal hooks and you get the picture of what Mind Games is all about.   Sure to grab attention this continues Sinister's unparalleled output of top   notch music.

  Introspective wades in like a bouncer with 'roid-rage at the local cheese club   with a filthier version of Digitalis' work. Much more bass heavy with the jog   wheel left well alone, it's got some serious throb that's going to give the   dancefloor a proper work out. Vocals are used much more sparingly in this mix   and it has a much darker breakdown creating a more hectic and aptly, sinister   remix.

  DJ Download   Streetwise Juno   Beatport

Following the massive Pole Kat in 2007 and with two recent remixes under his   belt for Ruff Dog & Roll Records Sinister stalwart, Introspective, brings   us his first original for 2008 – Submit.

Submit showcases the detailed, groove-laden production prowess that has brought   Introspective a raft of praise from across many scenes in the last few years.   Highly influenced by the likes of Thomas Schumacher & his Minimal Techno   contemporaries yet injected with lashings of Elite Force-style tech-funk, this   is a mid-tempo tech-roller that is carefully designed to fit happily into both   4/4 & Breaks sets.

Providing an altogether more antipodean take on the original, Aussie-breaks   dons bitrok add to their recent recent success on Title Fight with a pumped   up thumper of a peaktime remix that immediately jumps in your lap an begs to   be stroked!

A new year brings a fresh face to the Sinister roster in the form of Steve
Young, aka Hedflux.

Having recently secured a residency at Psychedelic Breakdown where he regularly
showcases his psy-tinged tech-funk sound, Steve recently went on to earn his
producers stripes by winning a competition to remix A Place For
You by New York-based electronic act - Misfilter.

With his debut original, Steve provides a prime example of the Hedflux philosophy
in both name and musicality with Music Is My Weapon.

Oozing the hard-nosed, mind-bothering attitude that goes down all too well
at Sinister Towers, this beast will have heads well and truly down with its
twisted, tekked-up bassline and synth-stabs that'll have you reaching
for eye-protection.

Following their chart-topping single Play It Loud / Fundamental
on Funkatech, Breakspoll 2007 winners Far Too Loud dish up the remix with a
further exploration into psy-breaks territory

Dj Mag:

Hedflux

Music Is My Weapon

Sinister

4.5 Stars

Sinister have really been exploring the psy-breaks path via Introspective
and Digitalis, and here Hedflux aka Steve Young turns in a tripped-out
tech-funk piece. The snaking acid line is what'll really have dancers
cavorting like possessed dervishes (probably), while on the remix Far Too Loud
pepper their psychedelic nuances over more of a breakbeat bed. Designed for
peak-time play, it's not as ferocious as their Play it Loud
banger but then what is? CL

NuSkoolBreaks.co.uk:

Hedflux / Music Is My Weapon / Far Too Loud Remix / Sinister

I always love it when a label goes slightly against the grain to what they
generally release and that's exactly what Sinister have done here. Don't
get me wrong they haven't gone bassline tear-out or lost the plot with
some minimal tech-plod, no sir, they basically just got tuffer.

Hedflux's Music Is My Weapon comes in on a phat driving bassline, solid
tech beats and awesome synth sorcery in the top end. The groove is locked-down
and there is no way this tune isn't going to work on the dancefloor. The
breakdown is colossal psy-trance-esque until huge builds and massive drops land
the tune with monolith presence. Those spinning the tuffer end of General Midi
style tech breaks will beg, steal or borrow for this release.

Flip for those wanting some real tuff action. Far Too Loud deliver a slamming
remix laced with phat drums and immense psy-trance acid induced production values.
Great for Spanish dancefloors and those spinning intense 3am sets. The mid-drop-out
and build is completely explosive.

Monstrous respect to the Sinister crew for this release. (jimmy mofo)

Sam Hell - Bone   Snow with Dopamine Remix - Out Now!

Sam Hell

  After his successful debut   on Sinister with Stay Out All Night, Sam Hell returns with a brand new, scorching   Bassline House release. Having recently remixed The Beat Monkey's - 'Lords   Of Elderon' on Brighton Breaks, Sinister's latest prodigee, steps   up to the plate with Bone Snow. Giving the likes of Hook N Sling a run for their   money, Sam Hell has fully utilized his skills for taking loudness to another   level.

Bone Snow features a monster   electroid bassline / thumping kick combo that pounds away at the eardrums like   Dave Spoon on acid, add to that the infectious vocal and you've got a   winning peak-time formula.

Dopamine

For the flip, Aussie Electro   House / Breaks top banana & Title Fight resident - Dopamine extracts the   melodic goodness of the original and goes deep, with a chunky Breaks re-work   that wraps you up in toasty sub bass & tickles the ticklish bits with a   generous sprinkling of crystal clear percussion.

Dopamine literally exploded   onto the scene with his debut release "Hold You" which took out best   single at the 2006 International Breakspoll Awards at Fabric in London. With   three more nominations for Breakthrough Producer, Best Remix and Best Producer   he's certainly made an impact in two short years on the scene. One reviewer   recently said "every speaker Dopamine touches turns to gold". These   accolades have led to his music being used on CSI Miami and exclusive production   for the Sony Playstation game, Wipeout Pulse.

Peak-time gurners or early   morning mongs – it's all catered for here…!
