BLUES 002EP
|
"Limited edition of 250 copies. Once again, Lump sticks to his guns and 'brings you strangely funky tunes to make this world a better place.' It's too late. The world has gone sombre and our man walks the desolate streets. The femme fatale is there, right under the street lights. The gangsters are all around. Bobby has been shot and all the junkies are surrounding the dealer in the back alley. This is no house as you know it. This is hardcore funk. It's noir, it's dirty, it's dangerous and risqué. Run. The cops are coming." Grey-colored vinyl.

KARLOFF 021EP
|
"Crinkle-dub with a drollery factor is his thing. After his recent debut album on Jay Haze's Future Dub label, Arttu Snellman aka Lump returns to the mothership Karloff, where he already contributed Polka Paradox, a classic of the label's catalog. The Finn who lives in London and works there as an animation cartoonist, also has a liability to comic-like aesthetics in his music, where he reaches his very own kind of deepness with a dodgy-ironic sound design. With an airy easiness the 4 tracks of Crazy Stereo are still bopping between spooky house and discoid miniature -- a crunchy hot chimney fire for your turntables!"

MGLTD 006EP
|
"Two more fresh slices of orgasmic funky microhouse ('Hardlycan') and deep clickadelic techno ('Wer einen und at') produced by our favourite Swiss boy in Berlin. Perfect after hours moody feelings and home listening pleasure, Lump's sound is like none other, like a journey in some new minimal- and broken-friendly territories, reminding you something you haven't experienced yet. A kick-asses in the actual boring minimal productions with a big smile. This is part three of four releases by Lump on MGLTD (sublabel of Mental Groove)."

MGLTD 007EP
|
"Lump 4th and final (yellow) release for MGLTD series, beware of imitations. Lump is minimal, dirty, gritty, funky, freaky, nerdy, housey, slappy, jazzy and scratchy. Lump is getting more and more attention from the public (you) as well as the media (them). Lump's music is mostly played by female DJ's (Sylvie Marks, Magda, Sonja Moonear) Lump is actually recording a full length for us, various style here, and various guests. Lump is also having a limited package of his four mgltd release to come out soon."

KARLOFF 005EP
|
"Lump is Arttu Snellman from Finland, who first appeared on Sub Static over two years ago, and is not to be confused with the Swiss Lump who recently came up on Mental Groove Ltd. Arttu lives and works in London, where he's employed as a cartoonist at Icepics, a cartoon -- an animation film studio in Soho. Those fairly worn-out attributes like 'minimal' and 'dubby' would definitely match his style of music, but this completely radical, however always humorous way Arttu builds up his tracks and lets them turn deeper and deeper, makes the Lump-sound something very distinctive and almost sounds like an auditory interpretation of cartoons. The digitally-masked, but incredibly organic mass of sound gets ripped open again and again by absurd breaks and unexpected found-footage fragments. Lump is a shy, inconspicuous godfather of minimal electronics, to whom the common and respected techniques of his own genre seem to be completely strange.

MGLTD 004EP
|
"Part two of four releases by Swiss artist Lump on MGLTD (sublabel of Mental Groove), which will end with a 4x12" inches box (limited to 200) + a full album release (with fresh tracks and edited versions of these 12" inches). Here are two tracks of minimal Dada house cuts, related to the minimal scene, but with a more organic and live approach to it. 'Bleux' is the moody one here, deep and crunchy as we like, while 'B-Print' and its German spoken words, goes to a more happy vibe, like 'Better Eat Strawberries' did on the previous release. This has been rated by DJ's like ark, Ivan Smagghe, Cabanne, Mo and so on. Enjoy Lump and check his forthcoming EP on Mo'wax as Are Dee."

MGLTD 005EP
|
"LUMP says 'I try to work exclusively with samples, whose history and formation I know. They are victims of my personal hunt. And I cut them hard whenever possible. What probably arises from my desire for the tangible.My music wants to suggest something to the audience. Entertainment in which there is no need to give up yourself. I don't prescribe any longing. Which does not mean that there is no longing to find in my music. But please find it yourself. And my head shall stay at home now, it shall not come to the studio with me today' . LUMP music is just unique, always effective, it's a breath of fresh air for the dancefloor and home listening, somewhere between microfunk, dirtyhouse, minimalshit and brokenbeats, whether it's vocal or instrumental."
