Store Selects 007 // The Field, Efdemin, DJ Sprinkles, Gold Panda, Monolake, Pub, Huerco S.
After a short summer hiatus, Store Selects returns for episode 007, filmed live and direct from Inverted Audio Record Store in Peckham.
Presented by Inverted Audio founder and curator Tom Durston, the latest episode digs through a substantial stack of new arrivals and returning favourites, moving between hypnotic techno, deep house, ambient, dub and experimental electronics.
Opening proceedings is CxBxT with .After Again on Constructive - a remix project built from material by Tujiko Noriko, Adrian Corker and George Barton. Across the record, DJ Trystero, YPY, DJ ojo, Shojiro Nakaoka and Tashi Wada pull the source material in radically different directions, spanning industrial dub, submerged techno and more abstract forms. Pressed in an edition of 200 copies, it's an unusual record that rewards closer investigation.
Elsewhere, Erik Jabari's Sky Sailor leads into The Field's Now You Exist on Studio Barnhus. The latter marks Axel Willner's first solo release as The Field in eight years, returning to the looping architecture that has defined his work since From Here We Go Sublime. Across five tracks, repetition gradually gives way to subtle shifts in harmony and atmosphere, culminating in the restrained euphoria of the title track.
Efdemin follows with Mirror Phase EP for Dekmantel's UFO Series, alongside Hashman Deejay's NeWRoomfreaK on So3ar and two releases from Doo - DJ Spence's Meanwhile On Eart 2 and Spencer & Alexander's Personal Day. Together they occupy the more club-focused section of this week's selection, moving between deep, off-centre house and techno.
Answer Code Request's Halo on Delsin provides another dose of precision-engineered techno, before Gold Panda returns on Studio Barnhus with Ton Up.
On the deeper house end of the spectrum, DJ Sprinkles, Francis Harris and Frank & Tony come together on You Can Always Leave / Companion for Scissor and Thread, while Frank & Tony's After All on Smallville continues the thread - understated house music built around space, atmosphere and patient progression.
The episode also takes a trip back to Glasgow through two records from Pub and Ampoule. First released at the turn of the millennium, Do You Ever Regret Pantomime? remains a singular meeting point between ambient, IDM and dub-informed electronics - spacious chords, abstract textures and gently shifting rhythms stretched across an immersive double album. The record returns to the shelves alongside Summer, another window into Pub's distinctive catalogue.
The final stretch moves further into ambient territory with three substantial albums. Monolake's Interstate on Field Records revisits Robert Henke's early explorations of space, rhythm and digital sound design, while Huerco S.'s Colonial Patterns on Software remains an important document of blurred, decaying ambient electronics.
Closing out Store Selects 007 are Bibio's Phantom Brickworks and Phantom Brickworks II on Warp - two records centred on atmosphere, memory and place, and a fitting point at which to bring this particularly wide-ranging selection to a close.
From contemporary club records to formative ambient works and long-awaited represses, Store Selects 007 is a cross-section of what's currently occupying the shelves at Inverted Audio Record Store.
Store Selects is filmed at Inverted Audio Record Store, 135A Rye Lane, Peckham, London.
