Jammin' Unit/Little Nobody.
Split 12-inch, Minus Vinyl #4.
IF072 - 30 MARCH 2009
Little Nobody main man Andrez Bergen first met Cem Oral (Jammin’ Unit, Ultrahigh, G104 and one half of Air Liquide) in 1996 in Sydney, Australia, when Cem was touring at the same time that Andrez was there to launch the IF? compilation, Zeitgeist 2.
Andrez prompty got quite smashed and stuck an IF? sticker on Cem’s shoe, and they’ve been mates ever since: It was only a matter of time that the two did something split together like this.

ABiS. Days Remixes EP.
IF059 - RELEASED on 28 FEBRUARY 2009
ABiS “DAYS REMIXES”
1. ABiS “Days”
2. ABiS “Days” (Little Nobody remix)
3. ABiS “Days” (Chairman of the Board remix)
4. ABiS “Days” (Andrez Bergen remix)
5. ABiS “Days” (Nana Mouskouri’s Spectacles remix)
The original version of ‘Days’ is a stunning post-trip-hop track that deposits itself somewhere in the realm of Portishead, Lamb and Massive Attack; it’s been cut by several-member Romanian band, ABiS, headed by brilliant vocalist, Marina Gingirof (perhaps not famous yet, but more than likely destined to be), canny producer Costin Dumitrache, and pianist Horatiu Serbanescu.
This particular project also marks IF? Records’ first foray into remixing bands.
The second track is straight out of Tokyo - a Little Nobody remix that goes more lo-fi experimental/electro, with the beats stripped out, something like Nightmares On Wax colliding with Scanner. Maybe.
Track 3 here is a remix by Melbourne-based producer Ben Mill (better known as Bitch Shift, but here remixing under the alias Chairman Of The Board). Think laid-back, fairly straight-forward house accompanied by Afro-Cuban percussion. To us, it sounds like Portishead, if they were drinking Bacardi in Havana.
IF? label head honcho Andrez Bergen goes off on some kind of housey/disquo/spacey wash tangent on Track 4, while Nana Mouskouri’s Spectacles goes for breakbeats and an hilarious jazz tangent to round out the release.
With fellow band Aneb also doing sizzling stuff, we’re thinking Bucharest may be the next best holiday destination in a financially-iffy year.

Is this the greatest rock/trip-hop/electro compilation ever conceived?
Beyond throwing such an outrageous superlative sentence-construct (above) at you, IF? Records is content to let these songs speak for themselves, in their collective attempt to sway you toward a similar sentiment.
After focusing on electronic music for 14 years, here IF? went out on a limb and brought together a group of exceptionally talented musicians and bands from Japan, the UK, France, Romania, Australia and Belgium, and set out to integrate the disparate elements of rock, hip-hop, trip-hop, electro-folk, ambience and however else you’d care to decipher these sounds, in a superb present for the feint of heart this Valentine’s Day.
All new tracks, except (4) previously released on the Disco_r.dance compilation in 2006 (published by Domino), and (6) released on the Zeitgeist compilation in 1997.
