TANSTAAFL subsidiary TANSTAAFL Planets recently posted up samples for their second release.
Coming from the clunkily named Tallmen 785 (who produces as both Tallmen and 785, though in this instance both names have been shoehorned in), TANSPLAN002 offers up two acidic disco cuts on one 12″ from the Berlin/Bristol label.
The original throws together some speaker testing low end with a female vocal sample that by dint of it’s application manages to not get annoying. The hats are also great, imparting an energy to the beat that the simple addition of a single element can sometimes do.
The Disco mix features a boomy kick and a slightly sparser arrangement though is fairly similar in tone to the original, if suited a little more for playing earlier in the set.
John Osbourne is an able curator, and with releases from the likes of Kowton and Joey Anderson planned TANSTAAFL Planets will no doubt be one to watch in 2014. Worth checking is their first outing, Kel’s Irritant EP, a techno jaunt from one half of Swedish dons Skudge as well as TANSTAAFL’s tastefully limited catalogue (Osborn’s own Epoch4 went unjustly under appreciated).
