Definitive ’90s house label Strictly Rhythm has announced that after years of fighting with Warner Bros. for the rights to its own catalog and remaining under the wing of the Defected label since 2007, on September 1 it will once again become independent for the first time in eight years. In an effort to get the scoop on the ideas and emotions flying about the hearts and minds of Strictly Rhythm’s founders, Resident Advisor spoke with co-owner Mark Finkelstein about how his label regrouped after the Warner Bros. fiasco, what pushed them back towards independent status, and what releases are on the horizon for Strictly Rhythm. Check out the whole conversation here.

It’s been quite some time since we’ve heard anything from the super-group pairing of (MF) DOOM and Madlib. They’ve each been ward at work on their own endeavors throughout the past six years, but the lull between new songs ceased today with the brand-new Madvillain track, “Papermill.” The funky little ditty is available for free download thanks to the folks at Adult Swim, but is actually taken from the forthcoming as-yet-untitled new album Madlib and DOOM have been working on since 2009. Get your hands on “Papermill” here.

In the bubbling brew that is London’s electronic music scene, hot new labels pop up all the time, but few match the pedigree of Local Action, an imprint spearheaded by FACT editor Tom Lea with support from the esteemed shop Phonica Records. The first Local Action release is dropping this week, and we’ve got streams of the entire EP right here on the XLR8R website. This debut release was made by T.Williams, also known as half of UK duo Deep Teknologi, and features three songs that have already received seals of approval from the likes of scene giants Kode9, Sinden, L-Vis 1990, Bok Bok, Brackles, and others too numerous to list. Count us in as members of the Local Action fan club.

A much-talked-about, supported, and petitioned battle to keep London’s Plastic People open now has a new page in its story. After its final party with Cooly G this Friday (flier shown above), the club will close its doors for a couple of months to reopen sometime around the end of July or early August. Plastic People states, “[we] are in talks with the council and it seems to be going OK so far,” also noting that they will not in fact be moving. (via Fact)
