Black Rose / 12 Til 4

A 1996 12-inch, reissued by Nonplus in 2015 with a Blawan remix.
Source Direct, 1996

"Black Rose" and "12 Til 4" were issued by Source Direct Recordings in 1996. Fact files "Black Rose" as the Hokusai-alias side, Source Direct at their most deranged, a favorite of Kode9 and one of their biggest tunes at the Blue Note, with sustained dissonant analog chords, raven-like screeching samples and a breakbeat from DJ Gwange's "Motionless" over a sub-aquatic amen. Nonplus reissued it with a Blawan remix as NONPLUS028 in 2015; the description says June 8 and a shop listing 02.07.2015.
