As a general rule, when thinking about radio stations, one doesn’t immediate think about graphic identity. Bucking that notion is London-based once-pirate-now-legitimate radio station/label Rinse FM, which has, with the help of XLR8R photographer Shaun Bloodworth and London design firm Give Up Art, managed to create a distinct visual identity for itself across diverse media. Celebrating that rich visual heritage, the people at Rinse have put together Rinse Presents: A Visual Retrospective – The Work of Shaun Bloodworth & Give Up Art, a showcases that features works that span the entire 17-year period since the station’s inception. You can catch the exhibition at London’s Truman Brewery, but you’ll have to be quick as the exhibit will only last for 10 days between August 12 and 21. Check below for some teaser shots from the exhibit.

Before the August 30 release date of Azari & III‘s self-titled debut LP, the Canadian house revivalists will drop a single for that record’s closing track, “Manic.” Along with the original tune, the 12″ will hold remixes from Maceo Plex, DJ Sneak, Borderline, and Finger Prince, and will be released on August 2 via Tiga’s Turbo label. Before then, you can stream “Manic” below.

Only a few months after Rampannounced the arrival of its new imprint, Fourth Wave, with the release of a 12″ by Presk, the fresh label prepares to drop its second record. The 12″ will feature two tracks from 18-year-old UK house producer Gerry Read, and will be available on August 15. Before then you can check out portions of “Untitled” and “Legs” below.

The Plus8 imprint, which is the harder counterpart to Richie Hawtin’s Minus label, has announced it will be releasing a new EP from US-born, now Berlin-based producer Ambivalent next week, July 25. Said to represent Ambivalent’s new-found widening of his production scope, the Jackson EP is comprised of four tracks that find him “carefully blending the soul of his American roots with a European propensity for machine music.” For a better idea of what that means, you can check the brief preview video for the EP below, along with the Jackson‘s complete tracklist and artwork.

Tracklist:
01 Jackson
