HRoom016 Little Nobody - Woklurk Orange EP (Sep 9th, 2008)

The Original Mix of "Woklurk Orange" starts off grainy and lo-fi, like a radio not quite in tune, with someone lazily tinkering on a keyboard, before the kick kicks in. And it’s a mighty kick – deep, powerful, spellbinding. The tempo may be slow, the haunting pads in the background might be moody and there may be ethereal, drifting moments to the track, but overall it’s a funky, sublime, "Booka Shade" style piece that leaves you breathless!

HRoom015 Dick Drone - Engine Room EP (Aug 12th, 2008)

‘Engine Room’, the stunning track produced by Tokyo-based Dick Drone five years ago, has been given a wildly engaging 2008 renovation, Sydney versus Tokyo style.

Little Nobody goes for a tech-acid injection that’s funky enough to move the most wizened of house music clubbers, and eclectic enough to satisfy the more discerning trainspotting set.

DJ Hi-Shock’s mix is stadium-deep and spacious, with a breakdown half way through

HRoom013 Ein Kleiner Schelm vs. Little Nobody - Live in Tokyo EP (Jul 21st, 2008)

The EP starts off with Little Nobody teaming up with Magnet Toy to deliver the dark, tuff, stadium-techno assault of "Depth Charge", a track sounding very Luke Slater, a la Planetary Assualt Systems.

The second live track, "Bulletproof", chills a fraction as it begins with a laidback beat that slowly morphs into a nice, funky stereo mix. This is solid tech house!

"Live Mix 1.0" has a distorted bassline that pans, then fittin
