Sales Note
Speedy electro, bass music, IDM influences and bleeped-out machine funk fluidly come together in absurd, playful and rattling ways, as Second Storey explores spotless broken rhythms and fractured forms of sonic expression from the future. More

Returning to Houndstooth a year since the release of his One Sound / Layer Lock EP is Second Storey. After spending most of 2015 focussing on his collaboration with Laurence Osbourne - Second Storey & Appleblim present ALSO - over at R&S Records, Alec Storey came back into the fold as part of the Houndstooth 3rd anniversary compilation earlier this year. Now he returns to the label in full with a gleaming new EP, Bismuth. Initialising the release, title track Bismuth takes inspiration from a documentary on the visually impressive metal. Affected by its angular, complex 3D elements and fluid like structures the music itself mirrors the element’s appearance deploying the intricate precision of IDM creating its own multiplex of textures.Melodic poly rhythms and chord structures define the track from the outset which work neatly with Storey’s trademark tight percussion, which sits in that golden spot between bass and electro. Bringing the tempo up a couple of notches, Grand Rapid lives up to its title. Urgent in nature, it reflects the environment it was created in - crafted on a laptop while speeding through the countryside on a train. Propelled by its ever-present bassline groove, percussive elements speed and whir by in this pacey venture.
Finally, Helicat completes the EP, built around the interplay between the main riff and synth percussion elements; from the outset bit-crushed bass drops and pommels out an electro-esque off beat rhythm while the synth line gives its circling answer. More

Formerly known as Al Tourettes, and half of R&S's ALSO (alongside Appleblim), Alec Storey unveiled his Second Storey project in 2013. 'One Sound' is the second single from his debut LP 'Double Divide', and intertwines Second Storey's electro and bass music influences over six restless, bouncy minutes. Brand new 'Layer Lock' is equally frenetic, but echoes IDM in its micro-melodies and unconventional structure. Two of Storey's idols take up remix duties. Luke Vibert provides a sampladelic version of 'One Sound', adding splashes of colour in the finest cut 'n' paste style. Meanwhile Cristian Vogel transforms 'Layer Lock' into a shape-shifting head-nodder whose rhythmical shifts delight and confound in equal measure. The 12" is cut to 180g vinyl by Matt Colton, and limited to 500 copies. More

Celebrating with a remastered version of Kapp's Piston Rings (ME-01), one of the tracks that kickstarted the Indulge imprint in 1996.
