Vocals: Elliot Chapman

Today (Abstract Source)

Music Production: Jules Dickens @ Abstract Source Mixing https://www.abstractsourcemixing.com

Remix : Russ Gabriel

ARTIST: JULES DICKENS
TITLE: THE RETURN EP (FEAT. RUSS GABRIEL REMIX)
LABEL: ABSTRAKT DANCE
CATALOGUE NUMBER: ADR003
FORMAT: DIGITAL DOWNLOAD
RELEASE DATE: 31 MARCH 2013

TRACK LIST:
1. THE RETURN
2. ANOTHER PLACE
3. ANALOG SOUL
4. ANALOG SOUL (RUSS GABRIEL REMIX)

Welcome to the third instalment from Colin Dale and Jules Dickens’ Abstrakt Dance imprint, which was launched last summer. Jules Dickens’ ‘The Return EP’ featuring a remix by Russ Gabriel follows on from a great start to the label that has already seen EPs from Colin Dale and Sir Lord Commix.

Jules Dickens, renowned for his production work as Abstract Source, is a London based DJ and producer, as well as a studio owner and teacher. So, quite the busy man! But here, he takes time out from this hectic schedule to present his first release for Abstrakt Dance.

‘The Return EP’ opens with the deepness of ‘Another Place’ where a smooth groove meets washes of synth work and cool, housey beats. The Detroit-esque piano of ‘The Return’ follows on with its thumping bassline under layers of claps, cymbals and dappled electronics, before the melancholy melodies and acid-tinged effect of ‘Analog Soul’, the last of Jules’ original three workings takes hold.

The release ends in a flourish from Techno heavyweight Russ Gabriel who (for anyone who’s been in a coma since the 90s!) has had releases on Planet-E, Peacefrog, Soma and his own highly respected Ferox label amongst others, with more recent outings on the likes of Mobilee and Pokerflat to his name. His characteristic remix on ‘Analog Soul’ ends this quality EP in fine style, proving why this influential artist is still in such high demand.

Latest studio collab with Umut Ekiz who plays the ancient Turkish string instrument, the Kabak Kemane. Remix courtesy of Danja Uosh: 
(@danjauosh )from Catania (Italia).

Kabak Kemane is a bowed Turkish folk instrument without pitches which produces all types of chromatic sounds easily. Its body is generally made from vegetable marrow. There is a thin wooden or metal rod underneath the body which is placed on the knee and enables the instrument to move to the left and right. The bow is made by tying horse hair on two ends of a stick.

Classical futurist label Bigo & Twigetti last weekend had three of its artists – Jim Perkins, Leah Kardos and Jules Dickens – create an EP of new music over the space of 48 hours, releasing it all online yesterday.
The label explains: “Each artist has created an initial track of harmony, drones, beats etc and sent their track to the next artist, who in the following hours added to, manipulated and transformed it before passing their work to the next artist and so on. Once the track had been transformed by all artists, the last contributor finalised the track and sent it off for mastering”.

Now available to buy on Bandcamp, the ‘Forty Eight’ EP features three instrumental tracks each bearing the marks of the three collaborators’ different styles, showcasing Bigo & Twigetti’s own innovative approach to classical and electronic music.

Abstract Source - The Light (Dub)

“After years of suffering with insomnia I turned to music as a way of healing. I researched Sound Therapy and the Science of Sound and this album is the result. Over the last year I have delivered workshops using the tracks and have received the most amazing feedback which I have used to refine the music. People have used it to ease pain, get to sleep, feel less anxious, facilitate meditation and even play to their children to help calm them down. I hope this album helps you too”

“Whether releasing tracks as Abstract Source or through his many collaborations, you get the idea that this brilliant artist and teacher will touch the lives of many people. His steady flow of directed and passionate energy takes the form of a wonderfully unpredictable musical output"

Ashley Casselle
(Global Underground | Junior Boys Own)

Music means everything to Jules and after a chat about the many layers of his career, he reveals more than a few surprises. From his past DJ exploits playing on a desert island in Malaysia, a Chinese temple for NYE or, closer to home at Dalston's bustling Superstore.

He possesses a unique energy which fills his long white walled studio in Brick Lane, enthusing about the artists he’s collaborated with, like techno pioneer Russ Gabriel on 'The Return EP'. He's most at home among LED lights, flickering buttons and pulsing switches, while drum machines and sequencers roll effortlessly into action to reveal new tracks.

After a spell running the label Abstrakt Dance with techno kingpin Colin Dale, Jules is now focussing on his Abstract Source sound. From the lush house of ‘Day to Night’ on Chicago’s Large Records to the gyrating drum & bass of ‘Tell Me’ on London’s V Recordings.

His music has found its way into some esteemed places: Peter Gabriel's Cue Songs have picked up the rights to his catalogue while Finlay Cowan (Pink Floyd Illustrator) has commissioned him to soundtrack a new project, the intriguing 'Subway Slim'.

Jules is currently developing a music therapy project aptly named DMT (Digital Music Therapy) which stems from a recent bout of insomnia. He has already delivered sound workshops to over 200 people and an album is on its way.
