Rare SSR Electronica 1994-01 (Crammed Archives 3)

This third batch of digital releases of archival material is devoted to the output of SSR (Crammed’s electronic division) in the second half of the ’90s, when the imprint worked across stylistic borders in electronic music and released distinctive techno, house, drum’n’bass, abstract hip hop, future jazz and combinations thereof.

This batch includes 76 rare tracks spread across 9 releases, by artists & remixers from across Europe, the US and the UK, including Tek 9, Carl Craig, Mr Scruff, Matthew Herbert, Luke Vibert, DJ Spinna, Stacey Pullen, Auto Repeat, Glenn Underground, Eight Miles High & many more. 90% of these tracks have been unavailable for over two decades.

The releases comprise the 24-track Rare SSR Electronica 1994-01 compilation, albums by French downtempo maestro Snooze and UK electro jazz wizard Juryman, EPs by Nu Era (4hero’s techno project), London avant-d’n’b duo Phume, and by three mavericks from the Chicago house music scene, Common Factor, Gemini and Jordan Fields. Also coming out is a 9-track vinyl comp in collaboration with fledgling Brussels label Hi Scores.

More about the Rare SSR Electronica 1994-01 compilation:
it includes tracks related to the various musical territories described above:

- Techno & house gems by Chicago’s Common Factor, Gemini, Glenn Underground and Jordan Fields, London’s Nu Era (aka 4hero in their techno guise), and remixes by Detroit’s Carl Craig & Stacey Pullen;

- Downtempo, ambient & electro jazz tracks by Snooze (FR), Matthew Herbert & Juryman aka Ian Simmonds (UK), and Q-Moog (US);

- A touch of adventurous drum’n’bass courtesy of Eight Miles High (DE) and Phume (UK),

- A couple of classic vocal tracks: Inspiring Light, the trip-hoppy symphony by Anglo-Italian quartet Phosphorus, and DJ Spinna’s remix of Tek 9’s hip hop singalong song Seven Days;

- Finally, there are three tracks from our celebrated Freezone compilations, which were curated with flair and vision by (SSR’s co-A&R) DJ Morpheus between 1994 and 2001. Included here are tracks by The Arc (aka SSR’s other A&R, person, Marc Hollander, aided by Solar Quest), Avalon x Karl Biscuit, and YBU aka Hans Grottheim.
