V.A. 124Black 002

124Black is the new sub-label from 124 Recordings with the aim of promoting a darker,harder sound firmly rooted in the underground.All releases are strictly limited and available only on transparent vinyl.The second release opens up with upcoming Italian producer Federico Curatolo with 'House Music' its moody intro and female vox gives way to a heavy kick drum and siren,with driving hats and a bassline that offer up a peak-time track.Ave Astra's 'All I Wanna Say' keeps things at the same urgent pace,with its low-end sub and rattling drums leading into an effective old school chord sequence on the breakdown coupled with cut up female vox.The second side opens with the return of Jacob B,who featured on the first 124Black with his well received 'Basement Crowd'.This time he goes even tougher and darker with 'Murk',a track that has received big support from Gerd and De Sluwe Vos.Finally Australian based producer John Devecchis closes things with 'This Is',finishing off the ep in a deeper vain.
