Ben Sims’ Theory imprint begins 2014 with Volume 5 of the V/A series 'The Box’ in February, featuring contributions from Sandrien, Tripeo, MDL vs JR and Craig McWhinney. Sims, fresh from mixing Fabric73, has curated the ‘The Box’ EPs since December 2008 and featured the likes of Phase, Hiroaki Iizuka, Ritzi Lee, DJT1000 and many more, so for the final 'Box' release Theory have something a bit special for you, 4 road tested club winners that have been getting serious attention all over, 3 of which are exclusives from Fabric 73. First up, Dutch DJ/artist and Trouw resident, Sandrien, makes her Theory debut with ‘I Left My Girlfriend At The Club’ - a 909 and resonant synth fuelled cut which wraps the titular lyrics around a lean skeletal Chicago flavoured groove, Then the mysterious Tripeo drops ‘Kienokki’ and excels yet again with a classy, bleeping modern twist on golden era minimal techno (vinyl only). MDL vs JR, otherwise known as Massimo Di Lena and Joseph Russell, turn in the tough and suitably raw drum assault that is ‘Belmont’, which has been in demand since featured in Bens much downloaded set from Detroit's 'movement' festival in May 2013 and last but no means least, Australian Craig McWhinney dives into the moody immersive textures and dubbed out after party vibes of ‘Untitled (Re-dub)’ to close out the EP in style. ‘The Box’ Vol. 5 is released on Theory early February 2013.
