DonÃ?’??t Be Afraid present Spargel Trax, a two part series of vinyl-only, coloured, hand-stamped 12Ã?’??s designed to celebrate the dual themes of great seasonal music and great seasonal Spargel. Contributing tracks across the two 12Ã?’??s are some of our favourite artists currently making house music. From established artists like Disco Nihilist, Andy Blake, Sound Species and James Duncan to up and coming artists like David Joseph from Cologne, Hodge from Bristol, Untitled-W from St. Petersburg, for whom this is the first outing on wax, and Scott Fraser from Glasgow. No clues though as to which is which, youÃ?’??ll have to just listen to the tracks and hear for yourself! Proof that 2012 is a great time for music, a great time for wax and a great time for Spargel. Spargel is a herbaceous, perennial plant growing to 100Ã?’??150 cm. tall, with stout stems with much-branched feathery foliage. The leaves are in fact needle-like cladodes (modified stems) in the axils of scale leaves; they are 6Ã?’??32 mm. long and 1 mm. broad, and clustered 4Ã?’??15 together. The root system is adventitious and the root type is fasciculated. The flowers are bell-shaped, greenish-white to yellowish, 4.5Ã?’??6.5 mm. long, with six tepals partially fused together at the base; they are produced singly or in clusters of 2Ã?’??3 in the junctions of the branchlets.
