Otl Aicher Book
lab price: $69.00 list price: ~~$75.00~~ available: restocking item #: bk-920	This is the kind of book that gets the "recommended" in the front of the review. German designer Otl Aicher ranks up there with Brockmanns, the Hoffmans, and the Rands in the hierarchy of modern design. His branding of the 1972 Munich... expand review Olympics stands as one of the best major design jobs in the history of mankind (I'm serious). It also resulted in the easily the best iconography the world has ever seen (you've seen some variation of his sports icons somewhere). This chunky monograph includes those aforementioned works and reveals a rarely-seen, comprehensive retrospective of his work. This is the kind of stuff that has a powerful humbling effect (you are a design peon!), and makes you want to work even harder. Hardcover, 240 pages. Again, highly recommended. -the mgmnt

Johnny Osbourne Ice Cream Love 7"
Jah Guidance format: 7" lab price: $5.50 available: yes item #: rr-1711	quick audio picks: 1 Don't get it twisted: this is the 1980 original that "No Ice Cream Sound" was based on, and is about ten times tougher than the 1992 update. Not that the soundboy killer Osbourne cut for Jammy's isn't, um, cool, but this "Junjo"... expand review Lawes Channel One production is what set the whole ice cream thing off. You know the lyrics: "I don't want no ice cream love, that's too cold for me" – crucial. This repressing is super clean on thick vinyl with a great version from the Roots Radics band on the B-side, a true dub with lots of drop-outs and bits of the vocal. -monk

Ayres & Eleven Glamorous Life #1 CD
format: CD lab price: $9.00 available: yes item #: cd-557	What is the glamorous life? Is it some P. Diddy fashion show shit with flashbulbs poppin while you're showing off how many diamonds you got in your teeth? True playas know it's a state of mind - it's all about vanity and... expand review voguing, hairspray and hot pink. On this CD, white boys with flava Ayres and Eleven show their love for the worst (meaning of course best) decade, and rock you with some serious 80s R&B action. Not just memorable radio monsters like BBD, Janet Jackson and a ton of Prince-related groups, but also disco legends like Gap Band, Fonda Rae and Grace Jones who survived the transition to the 80s. Using his fancy shmancy high end Pioneer mixer, Ayres adds some light production touches (echoes, delays) and some low-key doubling to his mixes, letting most tracks play out but also cutting some short (I don't really need to hear all of "Jungle Love" anyway). The result: these two guys rip through 30 tracks and come off like a radio station without some guy telling you every 10 seconds about ladies night at Hunka Bunka in Sayerville. If you're afraid of drum machines, heavy synths, divas and catchy choruses, stay the hell away! Otherwise, get this mix and play it before a night of heavy drinking - this is some "I must beautify myself" music. By the way, Ayres spins like a robot: he doesn't move, each mix is on-point, and he insults people with requests (to their faces!). -the Woodman

DJ Eleven Summer Madness CD
format: CD lab price: $9.00 available: yes item #: cd-1854	If you're reading this review, you're probably like us here at the Lab: cooped up indoors all day while the sun shines gloriously outside, taunting us, only making us sweat and shining on us during the all-too-brief walk to the bodega. And... expand review if you're like us, you need something like this in your life: Eleven's brand new mix of sweet, sweet summer music. The Rub's starting center doesn't stick too closely to any one genre here, bouncing from oldies to reggae to 90s hip-hop – the only constant thread is that it's all summer music, suitable for bumping out of your car, playing on a boombox in the park or just tossing on the stereo while you lay in bed with only the rickety ceiling fan to keep you cool. Kool & The Gang's "Summer Madness" into Fresh Prince's "Summertime" into Beyonce & Ghostface's "Summertime?" Magnifique. Not to mention all the Sam Cooke, Devin the Dude, Quincy Jones, Brand Nubian, Bill Withers, Sade, Bob Marley and Roy Ayers you could shake a stick at. This shit is soundtracking the summer for real! 36 tracks; 60+ minutes total. -Chris Lemon-Red

The Rub It's The Motherfucking Remix #1 CD
format: CD lab price: $10.00 available: yes item #: cd-1171	DJ Ayres' Brooklyn-based Rub party has turned into one of the longest running and most successful nyc club nights, garnering best club night awards in the local press and featuring top guest djs. For this project, Ayres gathered remixes from the Rub's... expand review resident DJs and some of those guests, giving you access to their "secret weapon" sure shot club blends (previously personal CDRs). Key contributions come from Mark Ronson, Diplo, Ayres himself, Cosmo Baker, Eleven, Zeph, DJ Crooked, and others. There's an excellent variation of material with "weird" mixes like Breeders vs. Rah Digga(1), Outkast vs. Franz Ferdinand(2), and "Got It Twisted" vs Ghostbusters(3) to nyc-style straight hip-hop blends like "Stunt 101" over Wu-Tang beats(4), "Bonnie & Clyde 03" vs. Arrested Development(5), and "Oh Sheila" vs the Coolie Dance(6). The 20 tracks plus are mixed by DJ Ayres, and ends up sounding a lot like the tronix kids (in a good way). In addition, each remix is tracked to appear in its entirety for all you CD DJs who actually want to use this for your gigs. -the mgmnt
