A key figure of Items & Things output since early 2012, Miro Pajic first appeared on the label with a remix of Marc Houle?s "Undercover" (IT011), his debut swiftly followed by contributions to the Variables compilation (IT016) and a joint EP with Carreno is LB and Vicky Montefusco (IT018). "Reset Reset" marks his highly anticipated (and long-overdue!) solo EP for Items & Things.

From the discordant groove of EP opener "299" through the jagged hats and haunting reverberated synths lines of "Acid Friend", the six originals on "Reset Reset" have been carefully crafted with the dance-floor in mind, capturing both Miro?s trademark production warmth and hard-hitting dance-floor power. With the haunting female vocal of "Angles", the mid-tempo machine-funk of "Ghettonup", the sawtooth swagger of "Bleep Clone" and the serrated sample magic of "Moon Two", these are pieces that sit somewhere between the romantic eeriness of Kubrick-esque soundtrack material and both the surreal and driving rhythms of contemporary house and techno. Miro's inspired and conceptual sound architecture is one that shines in a variety of interpretations that are both abstract and powerful, enrapturing the listener both mentally and physically.

Tracklist:
1. 299
2. Angles
3. Ghettonup
4. Bleep Clone
5. Moon Two
6. Acid Friend

TROY PIERCE PRESENTS 'SOFTCORE'

Also returning to Items & Things with his first solo EP for the label since October 2011?s "VoodooVoodoo", label head Troy Pierce presents "Softcore", a four track EP featuring two original productions alongside remixes of title track "Softcore" from Bristol-based producer Dubspeeka and French DJ/producer Chloé.
A pioneer of the darker side of electronic experimentation, Troy's A-side "Softcore" is anything but: a haunting, chugging peak-time production with a music DNA consisting of twisted strands of EBM, techno, and industrial, with a hint of dub thrown in for good measure. B-side "The Dangers With Strangers" is an equally powerful effort; its depraved machine funk and distorted tales of strangers provide a visceral exploration into the depths of hedonism.
Elusive Bristol producer Dubspeeka delivers a stripped down yet driven interpretation of Troy's original, reinforcing the reasons why his productions have been exciting a number of the techno elite over the past year. Chloé - a recent addition to the Items & Things Booking Agency - needs little introduction. Typically poised between genres and aesthetics, the Kill The DJ founder and ex-Pulp resident rounds off proceedings with a remix that is as atmospheric as it is club-suitable, a reflection of her unique eclecticism that couldn't be more at home than with Items & Things.
Tracklist:
1. (A1) Softcore
2. (A2) The Dangers With Strangers
3. (B1) Softcore (Dubspeeka Remix)
4. (B2) Softcore (Chloé Remix)
'Softcore' is released December 13 on Items & Things.
