We are looking for: Interesting, new wave dance-floor music and stand-out ambience. Label your CD's in case they become separated from their cases. we do our best to reply to all demos but we have a lot so it does sometimes take a long time - So bear with us!
Holden - A Break In The Clouds
Where it all began: the genre-defying melodic techno anthem from our little bossman which saw the good ship border community off on our maiden voyage.
Nathan Fake - Outhouse
The debut single from the unstoppable nathan fake crept up on the world as if from nowhere, and redefined the sound of the future. it is amazing what one 20 year old country bumpkin can do with cubase 5.
The MFA - The Difference It Makes
The MFA are a pair of jokers with a suprisingly soft centre. all the vinyl copies may be long gone, but 'the difference it makes' lives on in all its sublime compressed beauty here in digital form.
Avus - Real
Low slung bassline action from tech house man about town avus, backed with a huge chunk of techno-tinged computer edit funk from big chopper Nathan Fake.
Petter - Six Song EP
Making a strong bid for the role of your new best friend, young swede Petter's diverse 'Six Songs EP' makes the transition from two slices of loveliness on vinyl to six mp3s of loveliness in digital form.
Nathan Fake - The Sky Was Pink
Nathan Fake unleashes the rock beast within on psychedelic casio rock epic 'The Sky Was Pink', whilst big bossman holden provides the necessary reinforcements to take it to the dancefloor, with a truly legendary monster of a remix that has taken on a life of its own.
Dextro - Do You Need Help
Multi-talented glaswegian Dextro moves into the border community stable with 'Do You Need Help', a lush journey through live drums, acoustic guitar and distorted synths which then falls to the infamous mfa for dancefloor funking-up duties.
Extrawelt - Soopertrack
Melancholy yet uplifting, minimal yet trancey, Extrawelt's slow building epic 'Soopertrack' comes as a much-needed dancefloor fix for all those bitten by the 'Sky Was Pink' bug, whilst the ambient two-step of 'Zu Fuss' seals the deal, winning over the hearts and minds of the home-listening crew.
Fairmont - Gazebo/ Gazelle
Canadian ex-pat technomeister Jake Fairley resurrects his sensitive alter-ego Fairmont with the Gazebo / Gazelle doubleheader, which fuses together everything we love in a record (lush synths, rumbling basslines, melancholy overtones) in one lovable package.
Nathan Fake - Drowning In A Sea Of Love Remixes
To celebrate the release of Nathan Fake's debut album, what better excuse could there be to let a load of nathan's musical buddies loose on remixes of their favourite album tracks. Enter Apparat, Fairmont, Fortdax and Vincent Oliver, a group whom nathan is honoured to hand over remix duties to.
Nathan Fake - Drowning In A Sea Of Love
'Drowning In A Sea Of Love' sees Norfolk's unstoppable Nathan Fake unleash the unlikely rock beast within, picking up where the inimitable 'The Sky Was Pink' left off with an enchanting collection of rocktronica at its finest.
Lazy Fat People - Big City/ Dark Water
Just when you thought you had got us pigeonholed, along come Switzerland's Lazy Fat People with micro-rave anthem 'Big City' and edit heavy dj weapon 'Dark Water' to make you think again.
Petter - Some Polyphony
A bit of a monster and no mistake: The skinny urchin from stockholm gives us all a lesson in how to make a club go off, with the genre-busting bass driven rave of 'Some Polyphony'.
James Holden - The Idiots Are Winning
Is it an album? Is it an EP? Who cares – The latest installment in the James Holden story is finally here, and that is all anyone needs to know...
Misstress Barbara - Barcelona
Hypnotizing bells, gushing piano keys, broken snares and synths fuse together warmly to create the kind of emotional, human techno we’ve come to expect from Border. On the B, ‘Jamais Moi Sans Toi’ is slow-paced and quivering, composed of tenuous basslines and subtle bells.
Avus - Furry Hat/ SPNKR
The one-time tech-house master of laidback politeness and restraint lets rip with a rather more brash musical statement than we have previously come to expect from him: We salute him for bringing back a taste of the raw.
Nathan Fake - You Are Here
One of the 'Drowning In A Sea Of Love' album's standout tracks, 'You Are Here' is for us a lighters-in-the-air sing-along favourite: the perfect recipient for the Four Tet remix treatment. Backed with two floor-destroying Fake live reworks.
Ricardo Tobar - El Sunset
Any new artist's debut release is a special thing indeed, so here at the Border Community we are truly honoured to be bringing you the first ever record from Chile's Ricardo Tobar: a neat three track snapshot of his considerable melodic talents.
Fairmont - Flight Of The Albatross
Fairmont returns with more quality goodness, more off key chords meeting melancholic sounds and a skippy beat. Remixes from Reef Carribean, Metope, Christ and the wicked Dongtool.
Fairmont - Coloured in Memory
The artist steps out from behind the shadow of the massive club hit with new Fairmont album 'Coloured In Memory': a stunning, intimate showcase of the true depth and variety of his talent, where idiosyncratic leftfield techno hits nestle amongst a warm and cosy home-listening bundle.
Luke Abbott - Tuesday EP
Norfolker Luke Abbott joins the Border Community to release the rather accomplished 'Tuesday EP', a musically ambitious selection of modern psychedelia which crams six short but extremely sweet songs into just 22 minutes.
Ricardo Tobar - Tuesday EP
Continuing his mission to fuse noisy, punky genre-busting electronics with heady, uplifting new-shoegaze, Chilean cutie Ricardo Tobar returns with another four tracks of next level melodica collectively known as the 'Boy Love Girl EP'.
