Vested CHI // Vested Recordings releases

The mighty Dear Deer Music welcomes Ten Walls for a fantastic four-track EP. The Lithuanian artist has made plenty of vital contributions to dance music over the years and is now in the best form of his life here. Lord Of Fallen opens up with a nice slinky rhythm, warm bass, and a hooky percussive line that draws you in. Westworld gets more melodic and transcendental, with chords lighting up the grooves and bringing a heavenly feel as the drums roll on. Trine then raises your spirits with its lush chords, while the groove is more edgy and dark. Neighbourhood ends the EP on a turbulent trip to the cosmos with its slick design, rich musicality, and heady grooves. This is a standout EP from Ten Walls.

This 21st label release offers five wonderful and carefully-chosen selections of melodic electronic grooves, ranging from progressive house to techno to melodic techno, produced by a handful of the Windy City’s finest. In yet another year of unprecedented change and challenges, music has been the fabric keeping us united in the face of uncertainty, and this cherry-picked collection of truly top-tier quality songs is being sent out to you all around the world to help close out 2021 – from Chicago with lots of love (and also with a bit of pent-up rowdiness)!

Label newcomer on last year’s sampler – FJ9 – returns to this year’s offering with “In The Absence of Time” – a sharp saw-toothed roller-coaster ride of a melodic techno track. Aggressive yet elegantly-styled analog synth lines meet deep pumping grooves and layered percussion to take the mind for a wild ride.

Vested label mainstay Rez Dorsia brings you “Ghosts & Memories” – a deep and driving melodic tech gem that oozes swagger with vintage feel. A deep and bouncing bassline paired with warm synth tones and a throwback vocal element really hit the sweet spot here and start this release off right.

Rounding out this release is a sublime serving of progressive house titled “Clockwork” by Crystos – a promising newcomer to the label and the Chicago music scene alike. Fusing elements of progressive, melodic tech, and big synth melodies in this composition, he delivers a ticking timepiece-driven piece of music that truly finishes this compilation with an exclamation point. The Gear and Spring Mix makes the groove of the clockwork a focus and leaves a little room for something more involving this tune to come to you in 2022!

Back on the label after a brief hiatus is surgically-concise producer and Chicago artist Alex Castaneda in bringing you “Recon” – a big, spacious, booming and driving slice of techno. Boasting a full-on galloping rhythm section and a blissfully-wide low-end groove that feels simply amazing, this peak-hour burner will do nothing short of setting the night on fire.

“Wilderness” is a lush and textured progressive house composition born from a collaboration between two label newcomers: SinnerSaints and Alfred Clayton. Inspired on some level by nature’s elements and featuring a unique melodic hook juxtaposed against a cinematic driving groove, this lovely, intricate, and moody piece of electronic music here will have you coming back time and again.

Premiere: SinnerSaints & Alfred Clayton "Wilderness" - Vested Recordings

It was time again for a track from the music of my youth
to dedicate. Now I'm almost 50 years old and I love the sound
still from back then - or even more? ;)
I love the melancholy and the positivity in it. Cheers!

Henry Saiz - Afraid (Jeremy Olander Remix)

Following up Cid Inc's Beatport #1 'Abyss' single, Replug Records returns with a brand new EP from Jamie Stevens. The Australian producer has achieved an amazing level of critical and commercial success over the course of his career. As one of his country's most talented and sought after artists he has proven his skill in professional sound design, music scores for film and contemporary electronic music. As the founding member of Infusion, the much-loved Australian live act, he's left his mark around the globe, headlining some of the biggest and most respected clubs including; Fabric (London), Pacha (Buenos Aires), Womb (Tokyo) and festivals such as Glastonbury, Coachella, Roskilde and Creamfields in Moscow, Brazil, UK and Argentina. More recently Jamie's discography has been highlighted by releases on Guy J's Lost & Found and Armadillo imprints, which have lead him back to Replug for his first artist EP entitled 'The Forgotten Dive'.

Spread across three tracks it's the title and showcase piece which gets the journey underway. Commanding kicks and steel drums set the piece in motion, as astral designs and afro rhythms slowly surround the framework. The second act shifts energy further into the subconscious, as the cosmic narrative evolves amidst a haze of wispy atmospherics, percussive clusters and sonic artefacts; ultimately leading to an understated yet charming finale. In the words of the man himself, "Forever obsessed with tribal rhythms, this was a project that went through many incarnations before arriving at this point that traverses the atmosphere of a lost soundtrack and the momentum of an old Tenaglia 12". I spent time on throwing a few curveballs whilst being mindful of not losing focus plus creating a peak that wasn't overbearing."

The EP's second selection 'Creature of Comfort' is more of an esoteric creation. Unique and unpredictable, it showcases a quirkier side of Jamie's studio repertoire as he describes "Stemming from an experimental session one morning in the studio many years ago, this piece, is all about the storytelling of the free-styling lead synth. This is quite different from other pieces I've made in that respect and was a great deal of fun finding all the elements that would support that main character, this serpent-like creature winding its way through the track."

Drawing on a variety of fresh designs and harmonic concepts, the EP is rounded out with ‘Waterlight'. On a backbone of punchy beats comes perfectly contoured bass and a vibrant percussive cadence. Subtle yet poignant, a soft atmospheric glow encases the framework as free-flowing harmonics coruscate elegantly before timely chord changes transfer energy into a dramatic finale, as Jamie describes, "A personal exploration of raw, cyclical elements grounding a somewhat parallax field of sonic layers. I wanted to play with a solid, percussive base behind which I could smear a melancholic backdrop. This piece is all about drama and movement."

With forthcoming music on All Day I Dream, 2018 looks to be an incredible year for Jamie Stevens. ‘The Forgotten Dive' is an interstellar journey that further cements his place as one of the underground's most creative talents.

Just ahead of his second studio LP, ‘Eight Bit Ocean’, James Teej delivers the ‘Liking Your
Disorder’ single, backed with a remix from Timo Maas, for Sasha’s Last Night on Earth imprint.

Having first appeared on Last Night On Earth with the ‘Bring On The Night’ collaboration with Sasha, the prospect of a Teej LP on the label has been rumoured but before that, ‘Liking Your Disorder’ is here to whet the appetite.

Putting a modern and often highly musical slant on the classic punch of house music aesthetics, Teej never fails to deliver fresh sounding material and ‘Liking Your Disorder’ is no different. Fuelled by a 909 flavoured beat that is worked to the maximum without ever overreaching itself, ‘Liking Your Disorder’ throws an elastic synth riff around it’s concise 6 minute length with confidence. Never one to shy away from layering melodies
Teej playfully toys with secondary keys that range from the rhythmic to long held notes which result in an ever changing, densely emotive dancefloor cut.

Timo Maas’ version is very much a remix in the old school sense of the term – using the majority of Teej’s sounds and providing a new slant on them in a subtle and measured manner. Slow burning, increasingly rhythmic and with just the right amount of peaks and troughs, it’s a master class in arrangement.

James Teej’s ‘Liking Your Disorder’ is released on Last Night on Earth on April 8th with the LP, ‘Eight Bit Ocean’ following later that month

Precisely five years and one hundred releases on from the original melodic charm of Quivvers exceptional Takin Over (BEDDIGI65) original conjuring up magical images of sun-drenched Ibiza beach parties, the globally renowned musical innovator returns to Bedrock with his inspired Takin Over 2020 and invites the uniquely exciting Giorgia Angiuli and Vincenzo to further explore alternative moods with their remix skills.

Quivvers Takin Over 2020 rework has captured the timeless quality that immediately sets his finest productions apart from so much of todays disposable mass music production line. His ability to create a simple melody and then absolutely perfect it to every degree imaginable is untouchable. Here, he adds pace and punch in perfect proportions, as the track builds with a purring urgency in an intricate, ever-evolving arrangement, whilst retaining its original, deeply haunting timeless beauty.

The past year has seen a stream of excellent releases from Giorgia Angiuli, the uniquely talented Italian composer and multi-instrumentalist, on the likes of Einmusika, Warung, Stil Vor Talent and Systematic. By wrapping her vibrating and energetic groove around a heavy, pulsating kick, on an expanding evocative bed of humming, swirling synth lines and allowing the distinctive, beautiful melodious Takin Over hook to peep out of the musical whirl, Giorgia creates a deliciously feisty remix, taking the track in an entirely fresh and firing direction.

In perfect contrast, as a prolific master of the deeper end of the house music spectrum, Vincenzo conjures up a distinctly soulful mood, coupled with his trademark pulsating electronic vibe. From the opening resonant kick and hi-hat build, he masterfully morphs Takin Over into a uniquely vociferous version. His is an unhurried, deeply emotional take that captures the originals laid-back, mesmeric beauty to perfection. As finales go, it would be hard to top the renowned Berlin-based producer when hes on such fine form.

This 17th label release offers five wonderful and carefully-chosen selections of melodic electronic grooves, ranging from progressive house to deep house to melodic techno, produced by a handful of the Windy City's finest. In a year of unprecedented change and challenges, music has been the fabric keeping us united in the face of uncertainty, and this small cherry-picked collection of songs is being sent out to you all around the world to help close out 2020 – from Chicago with lots of love.

First up - Vested label regular Jeff Ozmits and label newcomer Bedroom Logic team up to bring you "Secret Sky" – a driving melodic peak-hour progressive gem that begs to be hammered during a prime stretch of evening. A deep and bouncing bassline paired with pleasing synth arpeggios really hit the sweet spot here and start this release off right.

Second - Vested label head RJ Pickens teams up with Tru Musica label head Brian Boncher to collectively bring you "Astral Dream" – a house-driven melodic progressive tune layered with guitars, synths, stacked percussion, and a bassline paying playful homage to an electronic classic. Special thanks to instrumentalists Jim O'Reilly and Skeebo Geebo for their melodic contributions to this composition!

Next up is the multi-faceted My Boy Elroy in a team effort with OpenOptics in bringing you "Where Do We Start Now" – a sublime deep melodic house offering infused with synthwave leads, organic handpan textures, a trotting rhythm section, and a low end groove that just feels amazing. Special thanks to instrumentalists OpenOptics and Troy Page for their contributions to this project!

"Clearing Space" is a lush and textured melodic techno composition with deep and driving groove from staple Chicago artist: Hummingbird. She's assembled a lovely, intricate, and moody piece of electronic music here will have you listening to all the nuances amongst the smooth energies of this piece over and again.

And rounding out this release is "Deeper Than Us" by FJ9 – a really promising newcomer to the label and the Chicago music scene alike. Fusing elements of melodic techno, house, and electro in this composition, he delivers a modulated-synth-driven piece of music that truly finishes this compilation with a big bang. A bonus edit of this track has also been provided for those of you who just want to cut to the chase.

Global house + techno community promoting the culture of work & play
Est. 2008 Los Angeles

For the past 2 decades, RJ Pickens has been a leader in building and growing Chicago’s melodic-driven electronic music scene. With nearly 25 years of DJ experience and tirelessly pursuing the perfect mix of deep, progressive, techno, and house sounds.  He rocks venues ranging from intimate to huge, and can go from being the headliner himself to being the supporting act of choice for countless global headliners on the best club and festival events the Windy City has to offer.  RJ is also a principal collaborator in a recently-launched and acclaimed music act called Portals & Parachutes, taking first flight in post-pandemic 2021.  RJ’s record label and music event banner — VESTED — has become synonymous with top-tier progressive electronic sounds.  Vested Recordings, while a relatively young label still, has seen remarkable support from some of the very best artists in the industry.  The event showcases produced under the Vested brand have been consistently showcasing the finest quality in its music bookings for the last 10 years. 

VESTED:  an adjective that means “to hold something completely, permanently, and inalienably — an unwavering commitment.”  In an electronic music sense, it simply means RJ is really serious about our party music, and his work on all fronts speaks for itself.
