John Graham, better known as Quivver, and fellow collaborator Dave Seaman have careers spanning over decades in house music. Each has helped define the trajectory of the culture and continue to build on their stellar reputations. 

With this release on Steve Bug’s Poker Flat Recordings, the pair demonstrate some of the key traits that have marked their careers - beautifully crafted, euphoric electronic music designed for the dance floor. 

Rockets & Rainbows features Brianna Price on vocals and is a deep, moody groover. RISE resident Floyd Lavine reworks the track also on this release, adding a bubbling, off-kilter acidic edge. 

Last up is Not This Time - a tough, funky roller with a juicy disco vocal sample.

Australian producer with decades of experience is Danny Bonnici, and a name synonymous within the electronic music scene, returns to his best with a blistering remix aimed directly at the dancefloor. Driven by a chest-thumping kick and head-shaking percussive groove, his remix then blends original elements from 'The Sky Was Purple' with a host of sounds and atmospheric effects that swim in dizzying fashion around the listener’s head, especially at the stripped back breakdown. Evocative pads reach through the mix as the track gains momentum once more in frenzied fashion during a dramatic closing movement.

Highly skilled and prolific producer Jamie Stevens who is no stranger to reworking classic tracks. Retaining the core melodic themes of the original, his skill is to generate a new vision that bristles with bassline brio and reverse reverb. The central melodic pilar gently filters into sonic range in the early stages and breakdown, before erupting in the second half with an exquisite snarling bass sequence that glides with ease against the trademark synth line so fundamental to the original.

Iconic German artist, Andre Lodemann. A veteran of releases on the likes of Poker Flat, and Defected, the Berlin-based producer has created an innovative new interpretation that turns 'The Sky Was Purple' on its head. Familiar pads and soundscapes float across a rolling beat before a growling bassline enters the fray. A sprawling landscape of sounds fire across the stereo spectrum before a new arpeggiated sequence then hits the heights with a nod firmly towards James Holden’s original phrasing.

As one of the brightest talents in the electronic music scene, Henry Saiz has crafted a unique path in his musical career. Not following any trends and refusing to fall into any category with his trademark sound that combines influences from club music and a wide range of styles like 80 ́s pop or progressive rock to name a few, his constant growth across the globe enabled him to spread his art to new audiences. In his first days as a DJ, Saiz released almost exclusively with big labels "with a focus on melody and community", as he puts it: Renaissance, Global Underground and Bedrock. He then created his own label Natura Sonoris, and by 2011 he had multiple Essential New Tunes, DJ Mag's label of the year, as well as released his critically acclaimed Balance DJ compilation. All that then gave him awards like DJ Mag Spain's 2012 Best Live Act, Best Label and Best Compilation. With his debut album titled "Reality Is For Those Who Are Not Strong Enough To Confront Their Dreams" (2013), he became one of the first musicians to crowdsource some of the album’s sounds. It's part of Saiz's self-effacing approach to even this most serious of artistic endeavours: he humbly offers to be the host of an intense, ongoing conversation between fans. Today Saiz is in a very fertile stage of his career. Still wanting to get closer to the crowd, he's returned to his first love - live bands - with an electronic trio that, apart from his solo performances, he’s also regularly touring the world with. Main highlights of the live band concept were their Boiler Room debut back in 2015 where guys delivered absolutely outstanding performance full of soul, powerful grooves, seductive vocals and thrilling emotions showing their particular approach to house music; as well as the launch of a world-traveling audiovisual project through Kickstarter in 2016 that achieved a huge success. This effort of trying to examine the relationship between environment and sound was materialized with a release of a sophomore album ‘Human‘ and a film that is a combination of both documentary and fiction. Within the same time he’s also released a debut album under his Hal Incandenza alias, launched a new label project ‘Lost Worlds Records‘, curated the new Balance compilation to celebrate a 10 year anniversary of his label Natura Sonoris, started a new project under an alias H.Haze to explore new musical terrains as a singer-songwriter, released lots of EPs, singles and remixes on such labels as Sasha’s Last Night On Earth, Suara and his own Natura Sonoris to name a few, and kept company to all of his fans every single week ever since the beginning of the pandemic with his Youtube streaming show  ́At Home With Henry ́, while also hosting a show on Spanish National Radio ‘El Laberinto‘. All that while also constantly working on new music and a bunch of other side projects. He has performed and continues performing all over the globe. He has been part of festivals like Sonar, Glastonbury, Ultra, EXIT, Creamfields and Global Gathering among others and also iconic parties like Circoloco at DC10 Ibiza. Henry Saiz is one of the Spanish artists whose constant growth has enabled him to spread his music to new audiences and is, without doubt, one of the brightest talents on the global electronic music scene. Through his music, he tries to make the world feel more deeply. He’s an artist who wants more than just your ears – he wants your heart.
