Thhe 3rd phase of our series of archival, digital reissues comprises 76 rare tracks spread across 9 releases, showcasing various directions in techno, house, downtempo, electronic jazz & experimental drum’n’bass explored by SSR (Crammed’s electronic division) in the second half of the ’90s. Most of these tracks - by over twenty artists from across Europe, the US and the UK - have been unavailable for two decades, and have never been released digitally.
Featuring Juryman, Snooze, Nu Era, Gemini, Tek 9, Common Factor, Jordan Fields, Phume, DJ Morpheus, and remixes by Carl Craig, Mr Scruff, Matthew Herbert, Luke Vibert, DJ Spinna, Stacey Pullen, Glenn Underground, Eight Miles High & more.
This new batch comprises no less than nine releases, which will be rolled out between late March and early July. Though these digital reissues mostly include tracks from specific 12” EPs which haven’t been available for a couple of decades, this series does reflect the scope, breadth and depth of what we were doing at SSR (Crammed’s main electronic music division) between 1994 and 2001: we were crossing many stylistic borders in electronic music, and released over 200 records of distinctive techno, house, drum’n’bass, abstract hip hop/downtempo, future jazz, by little-known as well as established artists from across Europe, the UK and the US.
