Suction Records Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Hi, Pre-sales for our 3rd archival vinyl release of late '90s Rephlex-ian electronix from Dutch producer RX-101. "EP 3" contains 6 tracks of pure Universal Indicator style rave ACID. For those who want to reserve a copy of the lim-to-150 YELLOW vinyl version, pre-ordering is recommended, as it is sure to sell out quickly: https://rx-101.bandcamp.com/album/ep-3 More info/press release below. cheers, Jason @ Suction Records http://suctionrecords.com http://suctionrecords.bandcamp.com http://facebook.com/suctionrecords http://soundcloud.com/suction-records http://twitter.com/suctionrecords http://instagram.com/suctionrecords ------ ARTIST: RX-101TITLE: EP 3LABEL / CAT: Suction Records / suction040RELEASE DATE: 06/20/2017INFO: 6 track 12" EP; 500 copies w/150 on yellow vinyl Suction Records is excited to unleash the 3rd vinyl EP in our series of archival releases by a RX-101, aka Dutch producer Erik Jong, who recorded hundreds of AFX/Rephlex-inspired tracks from 1997 to 1999, which remained unreleased until now. Continuing with our Roland SH-101 themed artwork, RX-101’s “EP 3” (suction040) pairs the 101 with it’s acidic little brother, the infamous TB-303.There’s been a lot of renewed interest and hype surrounding the revival of acid techno in recent years, but RX-101’s acid offerings are not the slow ’n slinky variety favoured by most of today’s acid revivalists…. Instead, “EP 3” contains 6 tracks of crunchy, blown out, high-octane rave acid… Long-time AFX/Rephlex fans will recognize the sound immediately - the 6 tracks found on “EP 3” are eerily reminiscent of those sought-after Rephlex classics, the Universal Indicator series of 12”s - released anonymously by Aphex Twin and his Kosmic Kommando on Rephlex from 1992-1995.“EP 3” is limited to 500 copies, with 150 copies on yellow vinyl, available as a Suction-direct-order exclusive.

flacid Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 can you ask Erik to release a double album of tracks like 012b - #005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suction Records Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 can you ask Erik to release a double album of tracks like 012b - #005 Not releasing any double albums, but will be releasing many more 12"s... Have to look up that track to see if it's planned for release yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atypic Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Last go-round we had 2 EPs and one album, with the album containing most of the tracks of the EPs but each release had some unique tracks. I had the impression before that we'd have a similar structure for the next release, but the announcement doesn't mention any other releases. Is this standalone?

Uros Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Last go-round we had 2 EPs and one album, with the album containing most of the tracks of the EPs but each release had some unique tracks. I had the impression before that we'd have a similar structure for the next release, but the announcement doesn't mention any other releases. Is this standalone? Jason said in the other RX thread that there will indeed be a comp for volumes 3&4. Dunno then what holds vol. 4 back. Maybe the D'Arcangelo EP reissue has something to do with it, you know pressing etc. I'll wait for the comp for now and buy the standalone tracks then separately (unless the "delay" takes ages)... I'm so fooking glad I managed to get hold of the Erik SC tracks. Otherwise the wait for new volumes would kill me. Comparing Erik's SC to AFX dump wasn't an exaggeration. I've been playing the shit out of both dumps and still amazed of the quality of all those tracks. Just can't get enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been playing the shit out of both dumps and still amazed of the quality of all those tracks. Just can't get enough. Same format as last time... "EP 4" and an album (CD/digital) compiling tracks from EP3/4 + exclusives... We'll be releasing that in September. Bit of a delay between the 2 sets of releases this time, mainly because July and August are slow months for new releases, so I avoid them. Glad you like the SC dump as much as I do... note though, that there are many tracks that are coming out on these releases that were not part of it. For example, I'm pretty sure that on EP 3, "101 Acid Power" was never on SC, and it is a BANGER! Unless Erik posted a lot of tracks then took them down before I discovered the SC (which is possible, as I believe this was the case with August 97), then I'm pretty sure that I have at least 50 more tracks that were never on SC, and some of them are among the best IMO...

Suction Records Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Fair warning... the YELLOW vinyl is selling fast. We're down to just 68 copies (of the 150 copies pressed) less than 24 hours after putting it on Bandcamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On his sc profile there are a couple of great ones https://soundcloud.com/rx-101/stay_inside https://soundcloud.com/rx-101/the-emptiness-of-230612 Hey guys... would be great if we could keep this post mostly about "EP 3"... there is already an open thread here on the forum where I asked for suggestions for consideration of future RX-101 releases... starts on the 2nd or 3rd page here: https://forum.watmm.com/topic/91562-rx101-ep1-ep2-suction-records Anyway, yeah, we do plan to do an ambient album. But not sure if that would make sense on vinyl, ie not sure it's the ideal format for ambient/beatless stuff, or that it sells particularly well on vinyl. Def a CD/digital album though, and maybe a cassette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got 101 Acid Power but I guess the tracks with the actual titles (such as August '97 and quest for nothing etc.) were not downloadable so they are only rips. They are only 128 kbps anyway. Yet there are some duplicates between the first batch and the later batch(es) such as 013-A#003 = nervus ischiadicus and 011-A#001 = the invention of ideas (106 mix) and so on. But doesn't really matter what I already have since the final product you're putting out sounds better. I compared Gemini Launcher and the original 009-B#003 and the finished version sounds cleaner and better. So whatever you do with the tracks, well, good job :) But damn, September...have to see if I can keep myself waiting....hope this is not your new marketing plan (just kidding, just kidding) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We work with a really great mastering engineer. Plus I'm sure the fact that we're mastering from WAVs and not 128kbps MP3s helps... Our pressing plants takes about 2 months to turn around a vinyl release, which is actually faster than most! So the soonest we could get EP4 out would be July anyways, and like I say, July and August are months that I avoid putting out records..... so Sept it is!

Suction Records Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Posted another track from the forthcoming EP -- "101 Acid Power" ... this one was not part of the 100+ tracks that were up on Soundcloud when I discovered Erik's account. This was just before I asked him to take them all down so we could work on starting to release stuff... Anyway, someone else suggested that this was on there at some point, so I'm not sure.... either way, TOTAL BANGER ALERT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
