After a bit of a break and a rethink on this one, we are ready to go with the next release in the Lost Record Shop Series. Bluebird Records was down in Berwick Street in the early days of digging for me, amongst other locations across the capital. There was always a good range of different styles in the racks and often a bargain to be had. Anyone else used to drop into Bluebird Records for a dig??

"Across 2025, hundreds of releases surfaced, with December granted space to settle. From that sweep emerged a carefully shaped collection of favorites, each paired with links to Igloo reviews and release pages. Arrangement follows artist names in alphabetical order, while a snapshot of tracks lives on our Soundcloud playlist, joined by random artwork highlights. No crowns, no rankings, no runners-up—only records that resonated." ~@pietrobot
Vertex004 Havantepe - Rain On Window
I would like to thank Andy and Jamie of VERTEX for bringing the whole project to life; Stojche, Ulf&Ralf for the perfect remixes; Ahmet Altinbas for the clean and precise mastering; Saven / Grid Pattern for the beautiful artwork and design; and Matteroffact for the stellar pressing. I’m also happy to announce that we’ve decided to repress the EP (in a small run), this time in plain black color (more news TBA)
Big-hearted Andy recently visited Istanbul with his friend Leigh to hand-deliver the vinyl and spend time with me. Much love and appreciation. Music is our only safe haven.
from bandcamp : Rain on Window was conceived when Andy and Ismail finally got to hang out in Genc’s native Istanbul a couple of summer’s ago. There are 5 tracks on the vinyl and a bonus tracks appears on the digital release. Overcast is sublime, emotional electro based percussion layered with signature Havantepe feels and melodies. For Rain on Window and Condensation the bpms are taken higher for head down dub techno stompers. Verdant regular Stojche contributes a brilliant version of Rain on Window, acknowledging the truest flavours and spirit of dub editing. Insiders Ulf & Ralf make their debut vinyl appearance with their atmospheric bealtess, ‘Cloudburst’ reconstruction of Overcast.
Digital Edition Contains 1 bonus track

Highlighting hundreds of releases in 2024 (and allowing December to set in), we’ve compiled a list of our favorites along with links to their corresponding Igloo reviews and release pages. Since the lists are arranged alphabetically by artist—and a snapshot of tracks are featured in our Soundcloud playlist along with selected Bandcamp tracks and random artwork selections—there are, as usual, no winners or runners-up.
