April 12 street date. Nemesisters is the third and final studio album recorded by Babes in Toyland. It was produced by Tim Mac at AmRep Studios in Minneapolis, Minnesota and released in May 1995. Unlike on the group's previous releases, they opted to record together to capture a "live band" sound; on their previous release, Fontanelle, bassist Maureen Herman had recorded her bass tracks separately from vocalist-guitarist Kat Bjelland and drummer Lori Barbero. This album contains a killer version of Sister Sledge's "We Are Family" and a cover version of Eric Carmen's "All by Myself". Nemesisters is available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on purple coloured vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve.
May 24 street date. Since 2011, the Berlin born and raised producer and DJ Mørbeck has been delivering numerous acclaimed techno releases via Vault Series and his own Code Is Law imprint as well as making his mark on the global club scene as a DJ. Fast forward to 2023 Mørbeck inaugurated his house guise, Midnight In A Toyshop , which aimed to showcase his passion for house productions in a lighter shade, whilst still retaining his signature rawness. Setting the tone to open the EP is "100's & 1000's", laying down war bling pad sequences and crunchy saturated drums in combination with a bouncy bass line and hypnotic vocal hooks throughout. The aptly titled "'90s Memento" follows, encapsulating a classic house sound with bright, mesmeric chords, rumbling subs, processed vocal lines and a bumpy drum machine workout. On the flip-side title-track "Dreams For Sale" shifts focus to trance-tinged staccato melodies, cinematic atmospherics, acid licks and a heavily swung rhythm before "Every Night" rounds out the EP on a classic deep house tip via ethereal pads, robust percussion circling synth lines and a vacillating low-end drive.
