Headman returns once again on his own Relish Recordings label with a superb new EP featuring new track ‘Turning’ and a near perfect package of remixes from Emperor Machine, Richard Fearless, Scott Fraser & Murphy Jax…

Robi Insinna has been at the heart of the early electro-disco moment for the last decade. His recordings for Gomma, Output and then his own Relish Recordings label have been hugely influential, inspiring the next generation of producers,
whilst his name has been a ‘go-to’ for quality remixes, gracing the releases of artists such as Franz Ferdinand, The Gossip, Roxy Music & The Units. Whilst his work as Headman and Manhead has been a constant for quality in this everchanging
world, his label Relish has also become a beacon for the best in electronic music. Recent singles from Headman & Daniel Avery have received critical acclaim and passionate support and the labels Relish 3 compilation last year gave a taste of what is to come.

The latest single from Headman sees Insinna offer up the wonderful ‘Turning’, an 80’s tinged machine-funk vocal outing that comes on like a modern love child of Human League, New Order and Grace Jones. Robi’s tight yet rich production
shines through on both the dub version and the original which features vocalist Tara, who previously appeared on the awesome ’It Rough’.

The originals of ‘Turning’ are complimented by two remixes, the first comes from production hero Emperor Machine AKA Andy Meecham, one half of the hugely influential Chicken Lips who back in 2003 remixed ‘It Rough’ turning it into an
underground hit. Meecham’s mix is the kind of epic, extended masterpiece that we have come to expect from a producer of his calibre, it draws you in, twists you up in it’s funk and has you shaking for the full nine minutes to it’s conclusion. The
second mix comes from Scott Fraser, a producer who shares studio space with Andrew Weatherall and has recently released on Astrolab France and World Unknown, here he delivers a pulsing, Moroder-esque reworking that is a heads down, disco delight.

Added to the package we have two remixes of ‘Be Loved’, Headman’s last single. The first comes from none other than Richard Fearless/Death in Vegas, who is very much hot property after the release of his incredible 2011 album ‘Trans-
Love Energies’, here he turns in a truly storming mix that segues from a distorted leftfield intro into an acid house classic, wonderful in every way! The second mix and the final piece in the puzzle is supplied by the ever brilliant Murphy Jax who
takes ‘Be Loved’ and works it into a warm, percussive house workout that marries pads, big piano chords and rich bass to create a simply blissful mix.

Supported by: Andrew Weatherall, Jack / Friendly Fires, Rex The Dog, Maya Jane Coles, Roman Fluegel, Trevor Jackson, Erol Alkan, Eric Duncan / Rub'n'Tug/ Still Going, Alex Metric, Ewan Pearson, Rory Phillips, Severino + Jim Stanton (Horse Meet Disco) , jd twitch / Optimo, Jori Hulkkonen, Nickolas Chacona, Claudio Coccoluto, mock & toof, InFlagranti, Villa, Dan Avery, Chris Duckenfield, Richard Norris and many more…

Adam Nathan is a London-born, Toronto-raised DJ and producer quickly making a name for himself on the global deep house scene. Previously collaborating under various monikers and part of Toronto’s influential Release Records crew, Adam is now unveiling potent solo tracks under his name. This new EP for Viva Recordings, titled Soulmachine, has the well-honed sound of a studio veteran, with a smooth, warm sound and emotive passages. Adam’s roots as a drummer come through with the stripped down emphasis on rhythm, while melodic flourishes and dynamic builds play masterfully on top. 

The EP opens with ”Soulmachine”, featuring dramatic piano chords and a fine, pulsating kick drum. The cut builds in a mesmerizing fashion, ending in a beautifully atmospheric breakdown. “Us and Them” gets into even deeper territory, full of synth pad transmissions, shimmering sonics, and the stirring, echoing speech that enters near the halfway point. “Coda”, directly inspired by the legendary nightclub of the same name, closes things out with a classic feel. Drawing upon the deepest influences of ‘90s house music, “Coda” is dreamy, multilayered treat for the latest of nights and the most intimate of dance floors.

Andrew Emil (Broadway & Wilson) – “Super quality vibes! Thanks for this great EP.”  
Rory Cochrane (Deep Site Recordings) – “Absolute deep house masterpiece. Great EP, I’m loving all 3 tracks, full support!”  
DJ Firefly (Couch Dancing) – “Delightfully deep.”  
Ollie Blackmore (Soul Heaven) – “Nice vibes on all tracks. I can especially see me playing Us and Them at Sunset in Ibiza.”  
DJ P-REZ (Not So Fast Records) – “Wow! This whole EP is absolutely brilliant. Looking forward to hearing this out loud, excellent work.”  
Efrain Navarro (E’Club Ibiza) – “Amazing tracks with good sounds.”  
Kiyo To (Kanzen Records) – “This is really refreshing.”  
Scheibosan (Shanti Roots) – “Well produced, sounds very good.”  
Simon Kirk (Stag Beetle radio show) – “Seriously hot release – 3 deep house weapons!”  
Steve ‘Griffo’ Griffiths (Freak Da Funk radio show) – “Very nice deep/tech vibes going on here, standout for me is ''Us And Them'' with its Detroit techno styled pads and 80's keyboard flourishes. ''Soulmachine'' has a more summery feel with its laid back groove. ''Coda'' is well produced with an early 90's feel to it.”

About Darryl 

Hailing from Atlanta, GA, Darryl Reeves is a saxophonist that effortlessly merges the lines between funk, soul & hip-hop, expressed from a platform rooted in jazz. Growing up in a musical family, Reeves attended the Northwestern Performing & Visual Arts Center in Miami. Moved by hip-hop samples originating from jazz, Reeves was led to being influenced by greats such as Charlie Parker and John Coltrane. Reeves studied music at Jackson State University. He subsequently completed his Masters of Music at the University of New Orleans, where he studied with Terence Blanchard and performed on the scene with Delfeayo Marsalis. In 2004, Reeves released the funky and playful Diary of a Bandstand, to ample acclaim. It featured Robert Glasper, Russell Gunn & Quamon Fowler and cemented Reeves' reputation for presenting a new outlook on the sound, style and production of jazz music. Reeves has kept a steady hand in not being limited to any specific genre. Some know him just as well for his production in hip-hop. Reeves caught Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson's attention with his ingenious jazz-funk remixes of Jay-Z's Black Album, which was spun upon many of the drummer's dj sets. Recently in Atlanta, he has been the music director of many highly acclaimed live sets with Aishah Rashied Hyman's Spreadlove and DJ Kemit. He has performed and recorded with notable artists including Roy Ayers, The O'Jays, Frank McComb, Angie Stone, Kirk Whalum, Jill Scott, Phonte, Toku, Janelle Monae,  Young Jeezy, B.O.B. and T-Pain.
