Founded by Dr Dubplate in 2020 and named after the postcode of London institution Plastic People, ec2a came up through limited-run dubplates with a fairly simple idea: make way for the new wave. UK garage sits at the centre, but the catalogue has never stayed particularly obedient, moving through speed garage, bass, dubstep, breaks, jungle and, increasingly, techno while giving newer artists plenty of room to make a mess of the boundaries. A fairly sizeable ec2a pile is now available in the crates. Here’s a few of our picks, but there’s plenty more on offer.

Soul Mass Transit System lands on HAUSDOGS002 with four cuts of proper bumpy UK garage and speed-garage pressure. Swinging drums, big low end and enough brightness in there to keep things moving rather than simply flattening the room.

The TWLVZ004 VIP Edition keeps things simple: Holloway takes Daffy, Dominus & Riko Dan’s Warlord for one side, while Curtis E. Bear flips Silva Bumpa’s Feel Aight on the other. Two chunky, bass-heavy UKG VIPs cut for exactly what you’d expect.

DJ ADHD brings Precision EP to the OPM series, pairing two originals with reworks from Jossy Mitsu and Mia Koden. Heavy 909s, Eski tension and frazzled electronics on top, with the remixes pushing things further into bass and darker dubstep territory.

Etch gets suitably crooked on Venus In The Blindspot, moving through warped 2-step, experimental breaks, heavy bass and a late turn into jungle. Five restless cuts that show the slightly stranger end of the ec2a universe particularly well.

We’ll be back tomorrow from 7am, or shop online 24/7 → closerrecordstore.com

A NEW FACE AROUND THE SHOP.

We’re looking for another barber to join us.

Not just someone who can cut hair, but someone who wants to become part of the slightly strange mix we’ve built here over the years; barbering, records, coffee, music and all the culture that seems to sit somewhere in between.

We’d love to find someone experienced, confident in their work and with their own approach to the craft. Someone with a good head on their shoulders who enjoys being around people and wants to become a genuine part of the shop rather than simply filling a chair.

There’s an established clientele here, plenty of existing demand and room to build something of your own alongside us. You don’t necessarily need to bring a full book with you, finding the right person is much more important to us.

Maybe you’ve been at the same shop for a little too long. Maybe you’re looking for a change of pace, a move to Adelaide, or just somewhere different to spend your working week.

If any of that sounds like you, shoot us a DM, send us an email at [email protected] or come by the shop for a chat.

Here’s a sneak peek at some new techno that’s just gone live on the site.

These ones lean a little deeper, built for the darker corners of the dancefloor, or high-tempo home listening, as we tend to like it. 

Ignez returns to his own Somov Records with SMV017, working four fast, hypnotic techno cuts with that organic edge he does so well. Tough drums, shifting textures and just enough melody creeping through the gaps.

Cleric and Mold Boutique split duties on Clergy Splits [03], taking three tracks each across two sides of Manchester techno. Cleric keeps things sharp and controlled, while Mold Boutique leans darker, grittier and a little more unruly.

Greek producer AgainstMe lands on Freddy K’s KEY Vinyl with K4PSA. Four stripped, driving techno cuts moving between darker pressure and brighter flashes without losing sight of the floor.

Cirkle heads to Fuse Imprint for Infinity Drift, balancing biting sound design with lush, spacey atmosphere. Hypnotic techno with plenty of tension and movement, but enough warmth to keep things from getting too clinical.

These, alongside another stack of techno, will all be here before the weekend. Reserve your copies now → closerrecordstore.com

Curated by Kia and born out of Naarm’s deeper electronic scene, Animalia has spent the last few years carving out a world of its own. Psychedelic, bass-heavy and never particularly interested in sitting inside one genre, the label has grown from showcasing lesser-known Melbourne producers into a wider family of artists from across the globe. 

We rarely skip an Animalia release, and somehow we’ve managed to land these three at the same time. So let’s take a closer look..

Aedis makes his Animalia debut with Saense, bringing Barcelona roots and an Amsterdam base into four deep, off-centre club cuts. Dubby space, minimal structures and a proper heads-down groove.

Naarm producer Coloursound introduces himself with New World, pushing dubstep foundations into warped techno and experimental bass. Wobbling low end, fractured vocals and plenty of space around the edges.

Reptant slips into his Ulo S. alias for Uphoria, blending old-school electro, playful tech house and euphoric melodies. Colourful, crisp and very much in the Animalia spirit.

And even better, they all just landed this afternoon. Get on it → closerrecordstore.com

Our biggest sale of the year is here...

A wide range of records have been marked down online and in-store, with plenty of good wax sitting in the mix. House, techno, electro, ambient, oddball bits, deeper cuts and a few things we probably should have kept at full price.

No code needed. Prices are already live.

Dig while it’s good, once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Before Space Drum Meditation take over Ancient World this Saturday for .rec, they’ll be stopping by the shop to record something special with us.

The German duo move through hypnotic, ritual-heavy techno where tribal percussion, deep electronics and ambient textures all blur into one.

We’re lucky to have them in-store for a mix while they’re in Adelaide. Let’s make an evening of it and back it up Saturday!
