( SBDRSD 004 ) ROBY J / SCOTT FEATHERSTONE / YONDER KIDS / ANALOGUE COPS aka PROTECTORATE - SBD RSD 004 (R S D 2020) (hand-stamped 12" ltd 150 copies) (1 per customer) Small Black Dots

In general, relatively few house and techno organisations get involved in the annual Record Store Day jamboree. This therefore makes this highly limited offering from Barcelona-based shop and vinyl distribution outfit Small Black Dots extra-special. It's a multi-artist affair featuring four suitably solid cuts sourced from labels SBD distributes. Roby J kicks things off by peppering a spacey, old school tech-house groove with attractive bleeps on 'Floods of Joy (Ancut Edit)', before Deeper Audio Cuts' Scott Featherstone goes deeper and darker on the deliciously crunchy 'Late 08'. Over on the B-side, Baffling Noise offers up the Yorkshire bleep-in-space flex of Yonder Kids alien-sounding 'Into Blip', while 3NO Records' regulars Analogue Cops AKA Protectorate successfully join the dots between deep house and tech-house ('Closeaway').
