Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Richard Sen

klasse wrecks never dissapoints! strong release on their grafiti tapes series by richard sen!!

every so often public release takes a snapshot along their discography timeline, to pause and recognize the various artists that represent the past, present and future of where the label sits. the last such release was in 2016, and four years, twelve releases later it’s time for another marker. this ep pools together six exclusive tracks from their global family, some on the pr roster for the very first time. from the beautifully addictive melodies by tendts and metropolitan soul museum, brooding baselines and synths from richard sen and tim sweeney, to the ecstatic floor energy produced by fran-key and earth boys, the range presented here is impressive. equally enjoyable as an abbreviated album, or as singular tracks at your service.

dance music veteran richard sen has a 30 year history of djing and production. the respected global dj has produced and remixed many well-known artists including bryan ferry, john grant and lcd soundsystem. from the late 90s to the early 2010s sen was one half of the dance music duos, padded cell and bronx dogs. this is the first release on his own label which aims to explore the beauty of the night - dark and light, combining influences from black american dance music and european electronic music.

richard sens sound has always been influenced by black dance music and european electronic music and these two tracks carry on the vibe dark, electronic funk! flow master is inspired by old school new york house combined with european industrial body music. sen calls it muscle house. bad meaning good is a lighter, deep groove that takes inspiration from african percussion artists like kongotronics.

former padded cell and bronx dogs man richard sen has made some great records in his time, and songs of pressure is up there with the best of them. joining the dots between murky dub disco, horror soundtracks and ebm, it layers spooky, delay-laden synthesizer motifs and wonky vocal samples atop a heavy dub rhythm and punchy machine drums. pals andrew weatherall and timothy j fairplay deliver a bongo-laden, dubbed-out revision (part wayward exotica, part humid balearic dub), while acca strips the track down to its nare bones for a ket-addled dub. its a fantastic 12inch, and limited to just 99 copies. you snooze, you lose.

emotional especial gathers pace with an eighth release from richard sen, a man whose cultured touch has had a hand in various strands of the uk underground for the past two decades. graffiti artist, graphic designer, music curator, dj and producer are all vocations richard sen has done at one point or another. here he goes solo with the ghost train ep, a dark and brooding release of old school meets new school house jack that takes its cues from 80s new york, italian house and the nascent uk acid house that sen himself documented with aplomb on a 2012 compilation for strut. naggingly familiar samples and a low slung box jam groove drive the spectral title cut forward, whilst sens mastery of delay is shown with aplomb on the dub version that closes out the record. nestled in between is the highlight however in *meteor shower* where discoid basslines merge with psychedelically charged keys and hollowed out steppers percussion.

friends for many years, richard sen and scott fraser come together with a dose of mutual admiration and back slapping by remixing each other on this 2 track ep. however, what makes this collaboration different is there are no original versions appearing, just these remixes.

stepping to the hard left, richard sen + cazbees edits are always a touch different from the rest of the zillion edits around. influenced by the newave and disco not disco sound of clubs like the music box these 3 new cuts have a disctinctly dark and naughty flavour. listen and judge for yourself…. mixed blood cuts has been supported from djs including: dj harvey, andrew weatherall, optimo, padded cell, idjut boys, cosmo vitelli, mark moore, pete herbert, lovefingers, golf channel and more.

following the best selling debut release on autodiscoteque, richard sen & cazbee return with a killer 3 tracker! definitely more ron than larry … it comes in limited, demo only vinyl format and blends proto-house and disco vibes. one limited pressing - strictly for use in discotheques!

an endless space disco flight.... richard sen aka padded cell with warm and heartful tracks you could file under electric-boogie-house...

an african flavour to the new mixed blood cuts release: side a: mulatu astatke >a man of experience and wisdom< zopelar edit.

richard sen (padded cell / bronx dogs) & cazbee (legendary graffiti artist) present a trio of new leftfield edits, suitable for the more open minded disco dancefloors. on the a side playback, is a fashionable midtempo euro funk groover. on the flip mad high is an uptempo string stabbed dancefloor destroyer. finally b2 schizo is our favourite out of the 3 is reminiscent of nu groove and early house. the original newave track is a chicago underground classic. the two recent mbc releases have seen support from dj harvey, andrew weatherall, prins thomas, idjut boys, cosmo vitelli, optimo, cherrystones, tim paris, moxie edits crew & dc recordings soundsystem

new and exciting label from our friends north of the border, aimed squarely at the dancefloor autodiscotheque kick off their demonstration only series of cut up dancefloor grooves with two killer edits from richard sen (padded cell/bronx dogs) and legendary grafitti artist cazbee. first up is a fresh rework of the bass driven disco glitch of kat mandus i wanna dance reconstructed here as cat dance. on the flip, the chunky disco funk of dennis deans i feel it is transformed into the irresistible proto house groove of lifetie. cut and pasted for the elegantly wasted, this is sophisticated and decidedly filthy 21st century club music !

abstract from house to techno

with an initial release on cyclo records in 1999 followed by a re-issue on phil week s robsoul imprint, we are proud to present this classic gemini tune transcended by a great remix package from well respected uk house techno producer richard sen. the original mix has also been remastered. so play it loud

originally operating in the 80s industrial scene, plus instruments have recently found a new lease of life. (emotional) especial are just the kind of label to jump on such deviant club fare, and on this package -love is enough- gets a variety of remixes that all embrace the groups seedy ambience. richard sen brings a muscular thrust to the track, while khidja takes a more delicate approach. luke solomon meanwhile casts his years of experience in oddball house on his steady grooving version, and then jamie paton taps into the industrial vein to finish the package off in fine style.

new label based in madrid, run by alvaro cabana and his partner in crime juliana leyva, born to maximize synergies between different music scenes, breaking barriers to get to a common factor:quality music without pigeonholing. tronik youth has made a name making re-edits as well as original and remixes on his own label nein and on others like gomma or southern fried. red axes and richard sen join in offering us their personal visions of -malice of absence-, track that has been chosen to open the label.

fresh!

slamming chicago house classic !! now, 2011 with fresh updated versions
