R&S welcomes 'Also' to the family, AKA the pairing of Appleblim and Second Storey for their excellent debut album, combined from their critically acclaimed Trilogy of EP's. Ever since they first met and bonded over a shared love of machine rhythms and sleek electronic grooves, the pair have been hard at work on pushing their creative boundaries to the limit, never content to take the easy route - as Laurie explains "if that means broken rhythms, and untraditional melodies then so be it. There's so many people making sonically 'correct' or refined 4x4 music, we just wanted to explore everything other than that, whilst still keeping the dance floor moving." These heavy studio / live loose jams sessions have borne truly verdant musical fruit inspired as much by classic R&S alumni from Aphex Twin to Blawan and the Detroit axis of Carl Craig and Juan Atkins. The album drips with uptempo cyborg funk, heavyweight bass and bleeping synth squiggles, pulsing subs and swooning pads. Arpemonger is an exclusive track to the album that sees Also stretch their classic IDM influences into a lush, soulful, futuristic five minutes that finishes the album in style. ALSO is pan genre, pan generational, emotive electronic music at it's best. Truly something special and a fine addition to R&S rich heritage of forward thinking dancefloor sonic artistry.
All three EPs (RS1414, RS1501 & RS1502) and CDr (RS1504CD) as well as an additional sticker all come in a sealed static shielding bag that has no catalog#.
The R & S site/store refers to this as an album, RS1504LP.
"Also (3LP)" is a meticulously curated triple-vinyl compilation on R&S Records that captures a broad, forward-thinking spectrum of electronic club music. Spread across three high-quality LPs, this release offers an extended journey through deep, hypnotic grooves, experimental techno textures and sophisticated, bass-heavy sound design. Instead of focusing on one single artist, "Also (3LP)" unites multiple producers and styles, making it ideal for listeners who appreciate variety, detail and dynamic flow across an entire set side. The sequencing is crafted to feel like a complete narrative: from subtle, atmospheric openers and percussive, rhythm-driven tracks to peak-time moments and more introspective, late-night cuts.
As a mixed-artist release, "Also (3LP)" shines through its stylistic breadth. You'll find refined drum programming, warm analogue synth work, broken rhythms alongside straight 4/4 techno, and a constant tension between melody and abstraction. This makes the compilation equally suitable for home listening and DJ use: the extended format allows for long blends, mood changes and evolving energy levels over several sides of vinyl. Fans of deep techno, UK-influenced bass music and experimental electronica will find a lot to explore here, with tracks that invite both close, headphone listening and powerful system playback.
R&S Records, the label behind this release, is one of the most respected and influential names in electronic music. Founded in Belgium in the 1980s, R&S quickly became synonymous with boundary-pushing techno, house and experimental electronics, helping to shape the sound of European club culture. Over the decades, the label has repeatedly reinvented itself while staying true to its ethos of innovation and quality, working with a long list of pioneering producers and consistently introducing new sonic ideas. A release like "Also (3LP)" fits perfectly into this tradition: it reflects R&S Records' ongoing commitment to cutting-edge production, distinctive aesthetics and timeless vinyl culture.
