Re-Releases out Tuesday 13/3/12:

OUT TOMORROW! Starting out our release schedule for the new year is a re-release of the first set of tunes to grace the SPECOPS Music nameplate, built by the bossman himself Portland's DJ Harp. First up is "Twin Peakz" a heavy lfo bassline thriller of a tune with a vibe straight out of the northwest town it gets its name from. On the flip side is "Rap as a Weapon", a collaboration with Ryze+Fall (also one half of Abrasion Equation), a distorted roller with a chilled out agenda and heavy beats coexisting to make a monster tune. Dark, energetic, deep and bass-heavy, this release is the perfect opening salvo from the SPECOPS arsenal of artists. Available on Beatport, iTunes, Spotify and other download sites March 13th, 2012.

Also on the block for the first round of tunes is recent Portland transplant KidLogic's latest SPECOPS release, "Mudpie" and "Problem Solver". "Mudpie" opens the release with a loose beat and a guitar chug that develops into a full blown mover that's equal parts UK funky and us funk. "Problem Solver" follows suit and evolves into a deep Rhodes driven soulful groove, but not before droppin some funk nuggets of guitar and organ to kick the tune off right. Deep and funky, these two tracks are sure to make you move. Available on Beatport, iTunes, Spotify and other download sites March 13th, 2012. (click the artwork to listen)

Free Download: Problem Solver (Uncommon Sense Remix)

To help spread the word about the relaunch, we've enlisted the remixing skills of Portland local Uncommon Sense and gave him the parts to KidLogic's "Problem Solver". Spaced out and atmospheric, but with a funky groove and a nice surprise change-up at the end, this track is a perfect way to kick of the second stage of SPECOPS mission.

Abrasion Equation "Paint By Numbers" EP out Spring 2012


SPECOPS Music release #021 comes from the deep damp Northwest city of Portland OR, courtesy of the mighty Abrasion Equation. "Paint by Numbers" is a cosmic skanker from beyond, a deep yet energetic enigma of a tune that bounces along on tribal drums one minute before plunging you into a breakdown ripe with chugging syncopated guitars and a beautiful melody. Tripped out vocal samples float through creamy pads that hold the tune together before the groove and synth take over and drive the tune to its peak before letting you down nice and slow, leaving you confused, breathless and ready for more. This ep will also feature multiple remixes of this epic tune from SPECOPS artists including DJ Harp's tom-driven juke inspired take on it and KidLogic's dnb rework.
