Yet another new label this week called Community Library which apparently is the brainchild of the geezer from Stategy. Low and behold the first EP is by Strategy. It begins with a minimal plinky plonky percussion loop and evolves into a rather funky playfull little groove with hand claps and plucked guitar coming in and out of the mix. The B-side is in a similar vein.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Tracklist:
A1. World House
B1. I Have To Do This Thing

Correction: Record is 45 rpm. Centerlabel
incorrectly reads 33.

Strategy brings us two slamming deep-dub-
house-punk-disco-Fourth-World jams. Jon Hassel
meets King Tubby meets DFA uptown in Chicago
circa 1987..with that feisty "Cascadian Magic."
Experimental dance/dub music for those who like
it messy. "World House" is a whirlwind of tabla,
guitar, bass, and house claps with an electric piano
lead, whereas "I Have To Do This Thing" is nearly
a Detroit House tribute- complete with sentimental
pads, a heavy vibe, a solidly lower tempo, an
ominous bassline, all mixed with experimental
generative percussion patches. These are summer
jams for hard times.

Strategy, aka Paul Dickow, is a Portland, Oregon
based producer and musician who has recorded
a wide range of styles for labels such as kranky,
ORAC, audraglint, Audio Dregs, and more. He is
co-founder of the Community Library and Archi-
gramophone labels and can frequently be found
DJing in some of Portland's best clubs and promo
-ting Cascadian regional autonomy.
