Mathew Ferness - High Expectations EP
https://soundcloud.com/the-ferness

1 High Expectations
2 She’s Too Misty
3 The Ego
4 In Dreams
5 Covalent Bond
6 I Might Have Been Wrong

Release Info:
We are very pleased to welcome Mathew Ferness to our little label family. Mathew hails from a small town in Quebec province, the French side of Canada. He started listening to music at a young age, always ahead on the latest music and always an outcast to the other people of is town. Inspired by 90s electronic music he started producing around 2010, some kind of Intelligent House Music. He already released on labels such as BeatXChangers, Fina Records, Closer to Truth and Lisztomania just to name a few.

“High Expectations” is not just a next release for Mathew, It’s something special, almost an album kinda, or a studio EP if you want to call it that. One of those albums that you have to listen to all the way thru....

A journey through deep and jazzy house territory is what you can expect when you click play on this one. Opening with the orchestral interlude that is “High Expectations” you get drawn in a mood and setting that reminds us of 90s electronic artists like Dj Shadow or the early Ninja Tune and Mo Wax output. “She’s too Misty” takes on those same classical feeling and is transporting it into a proper dance floor track with deep subby bass lines and a spaced-out arrangement.

“The Ego” and “In Dreams” are true stormers of tracks and stand out for us personally on this release, just loving the deep bass in “The Ego”! and those vocal stabs in the middle part of “In Dreams”, So special! we can already see both tracks tear up any dancefloor! High Expectations on these for sure!

“Covelant Bond” is the second interlude on this mini album and guides us with it’s warm setting towards a blissful closing track called “I Might Have Been Wrong”. This one is a great mix of modern House sounds a la Laurence Guy or Leon Vynhall. Taking that deep and organic sound to the floor. Epic!

We hope you love listening to this piece of music as much as we did when we first got the demo in our inbox :) To close we want to hand it back to Mathew to describe what he felt when making these tunes.

In his own words:
When expectations are too high, deceptions happen, hearts are broken, and dreams are crushed.
Songs about having a crush on a beautiful misty foreign online fan, that of course did not work out.
Battling my anxiety, digging into family past, having weird dreams, understanding myself more, and working on meeting my so-called, high expectations.
Mathew Ferness

All tracks mastered by Salz Mastering in Cologne.

Music Written & Produced by Mathew Ferness.

Mathew Ferness | High Expectations EP (Preview Mix) | Dirt Crew Recordings

London based Undaground Therapy Muzik affiliate Al Zanders makes a welcome return to Roy Davis Jr.’s imprint this summer with Stars of IG. After a brief hiatus the A-Z Records founder and Balamii mainstay has created a playful, Chicago house and Nu-disco inspired three tracker.

“In a similar vein to the Guidance EP, this is a nod to the classic sounds of Chicago house and Nu-disco, done in Zander's own style. Roy, alongside producers such as Quincy Jones, Boo Williams and Soichi Terada all influenced the deep and melodic sound of this release. B2 'With Racionzer' features the very talented Ben Racionzer on the trumpet”. Al Zanders 

Title track Stars of IG demonstrates how Zanders is a master of blending unique samples and grooves to create a cohesive sound. Highlighting the artist’s skill at using percussion to its full potential, the track builds into a mischievous yet serene soundscape. Continuing the theme of jazz laced house, Spring Boo is a sophisticated number, with glitchy samples layered over a shimmering baseline. Renowned for his soulful sampling and use of live instrumentation the slick Racionzer is last up, with the track name referencing Zander’s collaboration with musician
Benjamin Racionzer on trumpet.

Originally from Sheffield, Zanders first released on UTM in 2018 with his Guidance EP, breaking the label’s sixteen year hiatus in not releasing any music. Regularly supported by his peers, Zander’s music has featured in Midland’s Dekmantel Boiler Room, Gilles Peterson’s 6 Music show, Leon Vynehall’s BBC Essential Mix, Denis Sulta’s Mixmag Cover mix and more. Zander’s track Long Gone on Blind Jacks Journey recently surpassed 3 million streams on Spotify.

Tapping into the sounds of deep, soulful house and disco originating from around the world, Zanders' sets have seen him touring globally. Whether it’s a small basement club in Tokyo, XOYO in London or festivals including Lost Village and Gotwood. Started in 2016, Zander’s A-Z Records is still based in Sheffield and thanks to its diverse and bold output tastemakers including Mixmag, Resident Advisor, Boiler Room and DJ Mag have all supported the
label.

With Racionzer

This is an unofficially Remix of one of my favorite Tracks by the one and only Phil Weeks. Contains the Acapella of Phil Weeks' "All Day Every Day".

Change Request | Land Of Disillusion Feat. Keter Darker

Order 12": https://www.store.subwaxbcn.com/product/scsl01/

Inspired by the iconic life and work of Chicago Acid House innovator Armando Gallop, Change Request aka Andrew Emil teams up with the venerable Keter Darker to paint a vivid tribute to the city’s deep and spiritual Blackness of its historic southside with “Land Of Disillusion”.

An homage to "Land Of Confusion", this story sees Chicago poet Keter Darker reminiscing of his childhood growing up in the Roseland neighborhood, vividly illuminating the sites and sounds and he feels on an afternoon visit back to the place that formed his most seminal and impressionable years. 

A true Chicago Acid House journey, “Land Of Disillusion” is everything you expect in a project from these two Chicago House Music stalwarts—raw, gritty, and visceral—with enough mood to lose yourself in the intoxicating groove.

Southside Soliloquy 
By Keter Darker

here I am
I still remember 

Evergreen Plaza. 
Ford City. 
Riveroaks.

just to be clear

I pride myself
on my roots
those roots 
made the branches 
of my life

not in the way
that some 
may posture
or align
with 
the 
notions of 
black 
hardship
as
somehow 
authentic
blackness

while 
that is there
for me 
it isn't 
the entirety

what really 
stands out 
more
was 
the 
love

Evergreen Plaza. 
Ford City. 
Riveroaks.

the black love 
of my block
of my neighbors
the families
the elders
the children

the old folks 
that sold candy
out of their homes 
as we walked to school

the dirt road alleys
the distance sounds of trains
the manufacturing 
the echoing ghosts

Evergreen Plaza. 
Ford City. 
Riveroaks.

I remember 
leaving 
the southside
finding 
myself 
in lakeview
through this 
miltonesque fall

the paradise 
of a black place 
was lost
not never 
to be found again
very close
to leaving me

I met a man
we would chat
he said 
I was an expat

the truth
and
it’s weight 
condensed 
into 
mere words 
pricked me

Evergreen Plaza. 
Ford City. 
Riveroaks.

here I am
I still remember 

the sweet air
the dandelions of summer
the black children 

running 
unafraid 

alive and loved

here I am
I still remember

Evergreen Plaza. 
Ford City. 
Riveroaks.

Andrew Emil // Change Request 

A preeminent artist of Chicago's 3rd wave, Andrew Emil is one of house music’s most staunch stalwarts. A concert-trained percussionist since age 11, he earned a chair in his native Kansas City Symphony before eventually moving to Chicago. 

As a traditional musician, Andrew Emil has worked as a keyboardist, arranger, and an orchestrator on recording sessions and productions, cutting his teeth at the former Chicago Trax Recording Studios. 

Credited on over 200+ recordings, his composition and studio productions have ranged from concert works and sound design to film scoring stages and hundreds of releases of electronic music productions. 

After a life in live music performance, from orchestra percussion sections to punk rock ensembles, he crafted a reputation for House Music productions in Chicago under his own name, as well as Broadway & Wilson, and Uptown Tones. 

One of the earlier innovators of the “Jackin House” genre under the Broadway & Wilson moniker with Jeff Bloom, Andrew is never content to stay in one place or style of musical thought for very long. 

He is the only recording artist to do production work simultaneously for Derrick Carter’s Classic Music Company, Mark Farina’s Great Lakes Audio, Gene Farris’ Farris Wheel Recordings, and four-time GRAMMY nominee Steve “Silk” Hurley’s S&S Records.

A string of double-digit singles for prominent labels, including remixes for artists such as Common, Kanye West, Little Louie Vega, Jamie Principle, Steve "Silk" Hurley, Iz & Diz, Fast Eddie, Shalamar, Roland Clark, David Morales, Colette, Amp Fiddler, JT Donaldson, and Gene Farris, to name a few. 

2012 saw the emergence of his epithet, Change Request, with the Change Theory EP on four play music. This new persona allowed the freedom to explore hybrids of mid-tempo live instrument focused jazz-dance-fusion. 

Following this release was “After All” on Seasons Recordings, with another single thereafter featuring house music icon, Chez Damier, “I Wanna Go Back”, including a remarkable rework from Glenn Underground, on Glenview Records. 

The ever-growing collection of songs and musical dialogue eventually led to the conceptual album series from Change Request. Each full-length effort containing a completely separate story and scored via its own unique incidental subtext. 

Emil created AstraVox Music with the award-winning Los Angeles-based composer, Mr. Nathaniel, as a home for his increasing catalog of incidental dramatic musical compositions.
