ORIGINALS & REMIXS

Pumped to dust off the gear and wrangle a mix for the nice folks at Winnipeg DJ Collective.

I pulled a bunch of slower/loungier tunes I don't often have the opportunity to work into my sets.  Even though it's summer, it's still (unfortunately) pandemic times, so I wanted to put together something relaxed that's suitable for sitting by the pool, your houseplant, or contemplating the void, somewhere in the sun. No complicated mixing or emotions, just nice jamz. 

Stay safe and help your neighbours, friends. <3

Michael Red - Harpoon

Seven suites of deep and sprawling sonic meditations built around ‘call and response’ improv sessions between Randy Raine-Reusch and Michael Red.

Initially realized over the course of a few days in Randy’s instrument museum in Vancouver BC [December, 2014] 'ERAS' is made up of processed, and sometimes multi tracked, improvisations between Randy and Michael. Through these sessions Randy would choose instruments he sensed possibilities within, and Michael then revealed and sculpted these possibilities. Both resonating, sensing sonic structures, environmental nuances, and further worlds in each other’s art, all within the moment. Being present for each other, they acted on instinct, trusting a first thought, trusting each other; committing, responding to that commitment, then mutating and letting go. Always moving forward, synthesizing and letting the living moment lead the way.

BC: https://isla.bandcamp.com/album/eras

Seven suites of deep and sprawling sonic meditations built around ‘call and response’ improv sessions between Randy Raine-Reusch and Michael Red.

Slow and tempered recordings of Asian flutes, African harps, temple gongs and a myriad of obscure instruments from Randy Raine-Reusch's deep collection mutate and ebb into swirling gossamers of tone. Sonic incantations stretched and magnified further by Red's Sends. An otherworldly play between light and shadow worlds; at times idyllic and light-filled, at times dark and eerie– all engrossing. Dream-reality reconciliations weave between the spectral world of Michael Red's sound processes and the direct physicality of Raine-Reusch's playing. The tension across the pieces builds between the live playing and processing techniques, dutifully revealing a growing familiarity with collective transcendence through sound (bigger than the sum of its parts). Real-time interactive dream music.

Initially realized over the course of a few days in Randy’s instrument museum in Vancouver BC [December, 2014] 'ERAS' is made up of processed, and sometimes multi tracked, improvisations between Randy and Michael.

Being present for each other, they acted on instinct, trusting a first thought, trusting each other; committing, responding to that commitment, then mutating and letting go. Always moving forward, synthesizing and letting the living moment lead the way.

The recordings were left to distill and mature for many years before the composers felt it was ready. With minimal judicious edits and a very light dusting of FXs, both careful to preserve the direct and intuitive process that permeates the recording, ERAS now emerges.

Stargate is a bass driven journey into deep space and inner realities. Revisiting a 2008 jam with label partner Seed Organization, the final iteration combines elements of bass music with dripping dubby leads, lush textured melodies and mystically charged percussive particles. 

Michael Red, the label owner of Low Indigo and a pioneer in shaping the Canadian west coast bass music landscape, cleverly extracts aspects from the original piece and launches them into a futuristic space for his remix. The end product is a bold, sonically powerful piece that could easily lend itself to epic sci-fi visual accompaniment.  

Rise Ashen, the most prolific artist on Balanced, drops a moody head nodding version. The two time JUNO award nominated producer, fresh from recent work with his Silla + Rise project, adds a new layer of bass strata while changing up the pacing of the original and inserting the perfect, solitary lyric - Gaze into the eyes of the infinite…

The ambient version casts away most of the rhythmic elements revealing a pulsating, meditative experience. 

Stargate is a complex multi spectral track that is entrancing and stimulating, introspective and cosmic-seeking.  Reflecting on the significance of Stargate and the long evolution of this release, Kasm adds “It’s important to complicate music, to show nuance, a plurality of moods, a plurality of views, a raw cathartic reflection of life.” 

Adam Hannibal (Kasm) is the co-founder and manager of Balanced Records, the JUNO award winning record label based in Winnipeg and Montreal, established in 2001. He has been DJing since 1995, incorporating an eclectic range of global, electronic and bass oriented genres in his sets. Kasm has remixed and collaborated on numerous projects including work by DJ Brace, Cayetano, Seed Organization, Rise Ashen, the Ukrainian ensemble Paris to Kyiv, Amsterdam's Process Rebel, Swedish soundscape artist Skyscaper, the Iraqi French troupe Aiwa and many others. He also co-hosts Quadrafunk, Winnipeg’s longest running DJ show on CKUW 95.9FM which has been on the airwaves since 1999.  In 2010, he helped co-found the Manitoba Electronic Music Exhibition (MEME) one of the largest urban electronic music festivals in Western Canada.

Deep Heads are proud to present the new single 'Breeze Blowing' by Zeb Samuels.

The single is taken from Zeb's forthcoming album 'Arrival' that is planned for release in the early part of 2021.
 
You can hear the music has come a long way since the first instalments of sounds from Zeb on the imprint and hears a diverse pallet of sounds incorporated into this recording. We hear Zeb's vocals are more progressed, hearing the artist presenting more of a chorus driven piece of music, that breaths settled confidence within his voice. 'Breeze Blowing' delivers the energy of a winter's day, yet captures a warmth, deep within the core of the artistry. A beautiful piano hook is at the very heart of the song, with 2step beats lacing the track together. We also hear the talents of Jed Bevington on Violin who contributes some mind-blowing layers.
 
Then on remix duties is the very talented Canadian born, Sunrain, that Zeb has been a fan of for quite some time. A Pianist at heart with exceptional production techniques, the remix takes the recording into new dimensions. It's stripped back without the vocal but utilises the main piano hook to create an ambient soundscape that is nothing short of exceptional. Definitely an artist to keep an ear on for the future.
 
Zeb Samuels has seen support from a number of tastemaker publications, including the likes of CLASH Magazine, Magnetic-Magazine, XLR8R, Electronic Groove, Decoded Magazine & Rural Sounds, as well as airplay from BBC Radio 6 Music's Gilles Peterson, Don Letts, Nemone & 5FM's Kid Fonque.
 
We hope you enjoy :)
