Nomo back on the scene with the first single from their already released debut album. Ubiquity does this one really well, putting Nomo's cover of Sun Ra's "Rocket #9(1)" as the first track even though the name of the single...   expand review  is "Nu Tones(2)" which shows up as the inside cut on the a-side. The Sun Ra tune is captivating to say the least. It starts out with a wall of dissonant sounds that Ra is probably smiling down on from the mothership as I write this. Scott tried to give this the patented free jazz preemptive Sizzle strike (aka: "No. This shit fucking blows, guy.") when Mike put it on at the Lab the other day, but even he was feeling it when the beat dropped and the aural stormclouds parted. There's something that I am totally in love with about the vocals on this tune. Goddam if they don't make me want to get the faack off this planet on my own rocket #9. "Nu Tones" is also a strong selection as it is the opener on the full-length and really sets the foundation for the band's sound. A remix(3) of "Tones" fills out the entire b-side courtesy of Ghostly International's Matthew Dear. It is super minimal and techy, but still somehow feels soulful largely thanks to the live flute that floats in and out of the mix. This guy just makes beautiful electronic music without the floss. More bang for the buck with some nice percussion snippets and a locked groove to round out the goodies on this quality piece of vinyl. -Telekinetic Kat

Sabo
Sol Selectas #3 EP
 
format: EP

lab price: $6.00
available: yes
item #: lp-3015

 quick audio picks:  1 2 3
Lab's own Sabo with the third volume of his club mash series. Sabo isn't trying to cater to trainspotters with these records, he's going for club results. "Sexy N Sick(1)" is the most advanced "Sexy Back" remix I've heard, blending the original...   expand review  with Solid Groove's "This Is Sick" and the strings from "Don't You Think I'm Sexy." The flip features a mash of Pitbull's "Ay Loco(2)" which uses some classic house parts from Todd Terry and Masters At Work. The final track "Dustbite" is a midtempo party break using Gwen Stefani and "Another One Bites The Dust." -the mgmnt
