After the sold out releases by DJ Trace & DJ Krust & Source Direct on Tempo's SPEED series here's another legendary drum and bass producer called VOYAGER. Also known as Pete Parsons; a highly prolific producer and genious engineer, active since the early 90s and throughout the golden era of Jungle / Drum and Bass which got him releases on legendary labels such as Deejay Recordings & Lucky Spin Records, Suburban Base, Moving Shadow, Goodlooking & Creative Source amongst others. On this release you'll find three fresh new recorded Voyager tracks. Judge for yourself but mostly enjoy the voyage! This release comes as a strictly limited 500 copies handnumbered 180gram Picture Disc Vinyl pressing with a high quality polybag sleeve (including a handnumbered qty sticker on polybag corner) + all tracks mastered by Stuart Hawkes of Metropolis Mastering London. First come, first served, no picture disc repress! Please Note: This is a special high quality collector's picture disc vinyl and the sound quality is still good (but maybe not comparable to a regular standard black vinyl). For the full sound experience, you may buy the download.

DE004 - US - 2016Zwischenfall formed in Belgium with Michael Sass (synths), Martin Urban (bass/vocals) and Stephan Kraemer (guitar/drums) in 1982. They were united by musical sensibilities that combined electronic and traditional instruments developing the basis for their 1982 demo recordings. By chance Patrick Codenys of the Belgian electro pioneers Front 242< heard two songs and decided to record a 4-song EP for the electro band's newly formed label Mask. The “Heute” EP was released in 1983 after a week of recording in Front's private studio under the direction of sound-whiz Daniel B. Bearing in mind MIDI had not been invented at the time, the recording involved some extensive sound sculpting including the use of individual synths (PPG Wave, Syrinx, Roland System 100, etc.) for separate drum sounds. To create an organic feel to the combination of acoustic and electric guitar, a trumpet and a bass were incorporated into the electronic arrangements. Sonically way ahead of their time, Zwischenfall have a distinct sound with hard rhythms and melancholic melodies that blend minimal yet catchy electronics to create a very danceable production. All songs have been remastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios. The EP features two bonus tracks from the “Heute” sessions never before released on vinyl: the uptempo "Tausend Jahre" and "Katastrophe" the demo version of “Flucht”. Each copy includes an 6-page press kit booklet with lyrics and photos and is housed in an exact replica of the original jacket.
