EPICAST #007

For this seventh EPICAST, we are thrilled to invite @vitalsparkmusic

Vital Spark is a Scottish producer influenced by the more melodic side of underground electronic music. 

Vital Spark's productions take elements from italo disco, trance, 80's synthpop, and classic house to create upbeat and positive synth-centric dance tracks. 

His next release, 'Diskoteket', is due for release in April this year on his own label 'Curriculum Vital' - both digitally and as a 12" record.

EPICAST #007 - Vital Spark

Detroit is a city that has given birth to some of the most important musical movements and artists of the last century. It’s a city of infinite inspiration for the world, a city that throughout all obstacles, has managed to breed a musical vanguard that we are all paying attention and looking up to, not to mention the biting, taking, and straight up jacking of this culture. There is a feeling, even an expectation, which comes with the music from the Motor City. Producer Kevin Reynolds is a true native son of Detroit.

With the release of single ‘Fembehyahget’ in 2016, the seeds were planted for Yoruba to release his official debut album. But Kevin Reynolds likes to take things slow! The second single from the collection came a lot later- ‘Come on Then’ in 2021, followed by ‘Riverfront’ in October 2022. Now Yoruba Records is finally proud to announce, ‘A Certain Circumstance’, by former Transmat Records key player, Kevin Reynolds. Anyone with a close connection to the electronic underground in Detroit can attest that Reynolds is one of the city’s most key artists, one of the true unsung heroes of the scene. Considering the sheer amount of talent within the Motor city, that goes way beyond a simple compliment.

Opener ‘Abandoned Car Seat’ serves as a great introduction to Reynolds range as a producer, a master class in tech-tinged deep house. Bathed in a warm moody chord progression, accompanied by a cold synth line that’s layered with equal opposite Rhodes melodic line. The blissed-out energy of ‘Fembehyahget’, is followed by the deep tech bounce of ‘Come On Then (Rerub’) and the sun-kissed frost of ‘Riverfront’, all making a necessary re-appearance. ‘Completed Stance’ is the type of composition that finds a true home at Yoruba Records. A looped guitar starts the journey, bringing in piano, then dropping an ancestral stomp on the beat. This has all the ingredients of one of those late-night Yoruba dance floor scorchers.

Reynolds strips things down on ‘Family Tree’, showing some bare bones funk, and dropping a vocal sample from someone you may or may not know who is deeply connected to that Detroit legacy stuff we’ve been talking about. ‘Inward Breath’ and ‘Seeking Peace’ bring some of the most transcendental moments of the album. Reminding us of the spacious and supernatural feelings of Hiroshi Watanabe’s 32 Project - music to truly lose yourself to the divine. Closing the proceedings is the broken beat electronic jazz of ‘Soil Before the Rain’.

Kevin Reynolds brings a relaxed, but intense focus to this album. Nothing feels forced! There has always been a linear narrative regarding Reynolds as Detroit’s best-kept secret. With ‘A Certain Circumstance’ that secret is finally out.

With a good few releases under his belt on labels such as Gene On Earth’s The Sound Of Limo, Gestalt Records, The Sound Of Steam or Craigie Knowes Bristol-based artist Boulderhead has built quite a formidable discography since 2020 and if pressing plants weren’t as busy as they are, the Welsh would have even more music of himself out there. Aside from releasing own music Henry James, Boulderhead’s real name, runs his own label Mint Tea, on which he’s been putting out VAs only so far, also including music from himself under his real name. However, since the label is a passion project according to Henry it does not follow a regular releasing schedule but now seems to be back with an EP and maybe more. In an interview with Torture the Artist Boulderhead speaks about the success of his latest release, the future of the label, how he likes his tea served and more. Additionally he’s mixed and compiled the latest edition of the art:cast series and it’s a deep-treat.

COOKIE #007 by Lycka

Marshall Watson and Cole Odin take a break from their solo output to come together on the
‘Just A Daydream Away’ EP, each delivering two unique original tracks comprised of chugging
psychedelia, folky rock elements and sun dappled balearica. Remixes come in the form of
Hardway Bros. whose refit channels an early nineties indie-dance rework, coming across like a
classic lost Screamadelica track. The second remix from Joe Morris leans into the psychedelia,
delivering an acid soaked sunrise experience.
A1. Just A Daydream Away (Rocket Ride Mix)
A2. Just A Daydream Away (Space Flight Mix)
B2. Just A Daydream Away (Hardway Bros. Remix)

Digital bonus. Just A Daydream Away (Hardway Bros Live at the SSL Dub)

PREMIERE: Marshall Watson & Cole Odin -  Just A Daydream Away (Hardway Bros Remix)

It's always very touching to find musical testimonials. Over 20 years ago, my booking agency asked me to record this mix. In 2002, I was very inspired by the San Francisco scene. There were some great labels, DJs and artists there... What makes me happy is that I could still play 95% of those records. Time goes by too quickly, but I'm still as passionate and involved as ever. It was a great period, we played 100% vinyl, I scoured the record shops... This mix is an opportunity to look back on a past with tons of great memories. We build our dj identity through all these eras and influences, and that's what makes us richer musically. Hope you'll enjoy ;) Cheers from the Sunny Lausanne

How can you not let first 'interstate 55'  words define him: "Chicago Southside, that night in July 1995, House Music changed my life." 

From then on , he was part of the circle of press correspondents in Chicago for Coda and Trax magazines in Paris between 1995 and 1998 who interviewed some names as Paul Johnson, Derrick Carter, Cajmere, Boo Williams, DJ Funk, Dance Mania Crew...

25 years later, he decided to get back into the mix to promote the Underground between USA and Europe for getting in touch with people who share the same passion. How could we be more on the same wavelength ?
