Deep Heads is back people! This time with a fresh EP from label alumni Feverkin. An artist that understands the ethos of Deep Heads, Feverkin has contributed to both 3 & 4 of the label’s flagship series ‘Cosmic Vibrations’

Expanding on the soundscape of ‘Element & Moderate’ taken from Cosmic Vibration Volume 4, Feverkin’s upcoming EP titled ‘Hollow Fire’ is a glimpse into the artist’s intrapersonal journey of purging the old ways to make room for the new. 
 
The first single ‘Dead Branch’ is a marvelous example of Feverkin’s signature production. The weave of electronic and live instrumentation is beautifully crafted and arranged with immense detail and precision. We hear Feverkin featuring Cello, Felted Upright Piano, and Bass as the main actors on this tune, driven by a swath of percussive textures. 
 
In his own words on ‘Dead Branch’
“This is the song that laid the foundation for the Hollow Fire EP. It started with the piano riff, and I layered drums and it felt earthy and shifty in the way the percussion and piano agreed with each other in the rhythm. In an abstract sense, this song felt like the prologue to the coming mental imagery of a forest fire. A dead branch, or perhaps a twig, is a piece of arboreal debris that you sometimes notice only as you step on it and hear a distinct crack”
 
More on Feverkin…..A composer and producer residing in Portland, Oregon, Feverkin is the musical alias of Adam Orfale. Feverkin crafts his sound by sampling, morphing, and arranging recordings of instruments. Drawing inspiration from trip-hop, garage, lofi, jazz, and classical music, Feverkin strikes a unique balance between melody and beat, resulting in instrumentally-driven downtempo music that is both organic, glitchy, and moody.

We hope you enjoy the music 

Deep Heads are thrilled to announce the return of Feverkin with his latest EP, 'Hollow Fire'. As an artist featured on both Volume 3 and 4 of the renowned Cosmic Vibration series, Feverkin has truly embraced and embodied the ethos of the label. With 'Hollow Fire', Fevekin brings together his unique take on various downtempo styles in perfect harmony with the vision of Deep Heads.

The second single off the "Hollow Fire" EP is the self-titled track "Hollow Fire'' - a mesmerising demonstration of Feverkin's take on sampling and hypnotic melodies weaved across multiple tones. The most uptempo of the EP, the energy of the song is propelled by crisp drum programming and pinpoint sampling. "Hollow Fire" showcases Feverkin's remarkable attention to detail in every layer of the instrumentation. Similar to his previous single 'Dead Branch', Feverkin incorporates live instruments into the mix, seamlessly blending them with ethereal pads, splicing in guitar and cello harmonics to form the heart of the tune.

Feverkin draws influences from the likes of Sorrow, Floating Points, Buena Vista Social Club, Martin Watkinson, Hidden Orchestra, Rachel Grimes, The Smile, Brown Bird, Bremer/McCoy, Bonobo & Ichiko Aoba to name a few that truly inspire him.

In his own words on ‘Hollow Fire’
“This song is the one that finished last of the bunch, as I couldn't get the chord progression to take shape. I eventually found a breakthrough in a resample/edit of a piano part I played from some nightly piano sketch log I've kept. I repurposed old ideas into new ones from demos that didn’t quite make the cut for previous projects, but they found a home on this track.

Deep Heads are thrilled to announce the return of Feverkin with his latest single release of ‘Within The Weave’. A track taken from his forthcoming EP ‘Hollow Fire’ that drops on October 20th 2023.

‘Within The Weave’ is covered top to bottom in a beautiful, ethereal atmosphere. A cello top line glides across a bedrock of bass and pads, weaving inbetween woodwinds and syncopated drums. With polished production distilled from instrumental performances by the studio wizard himself, ‘Within The Weave’ is rich in detail and a welcome addition to the Deep Heads catalogue.

Feverkin draws influences from the likes of Sorrow, Floating Points, Buena Vista Social Club, Martin Watkinson, Hidden Orchestra, Rachel Grimes, The Smile, Brown Bird, Bremer/McCoy, Bonobo & Ichiko Aoba to name a few that truly inspire him.

In his own words for ‘Within The Weave’
“I wanted to lean more into my older ethereal sound where I drew inspiration from future garage. Using syncopated drums as an outline for the simple reverberated melodies. I had a visual of being in a forest so dense, even the light is dampened by the canopy above and the congregation of tree trunks around”

Greetings everyone,

It's been a while since we last heard from Smokin' Sessions, but today we're blessed with a truly special release from none other than Smokin' Sessions legend, Rowl with his EP 'Asterism'

Many of you may remember his debut on the label over ten years ago in 2011. Since then, Rowl has become a prominent artist on both Smokin' Sessions and Deep Heads roster, with a number of amazing releases under his belt. Classics like 'lunar', 'Jupiter', 'Thorey of one', and 'Solstice', all with Versa, are sure to bring back memories for our long-time fans. Rowl also graced us with his incredible EP 'Cosmic Visions' back in 2013, a true gem in our catalog.

This time, with his latest EP, Rowl brings us back to the sound that many of our early fans will resonate with. His interpretation of dubstep features heavy 2step beats and a sound that was exploding around 2010-2015. The music is essentially 140BPM, with loads of subs, garage-influenced beats, and melodies, all engineered and mixed with wizardry finishes by Rowl. The sound pushes into new Electronic // Ambient territory that many of our favorite artists like Azeleh, Pensees, Phaeleh, and Synkro are currently exploring. You can hear the influences of previous artists, like Burial, Synkro, and Todd Edwards, who have touched on similar musical inspiration. Whether you call it ambient, 2step, bass, electronic, or otherwise, this is the classic sound of Smokin' Sessions.

The EP kicks off with 'Arcade', a track that truly embodies this sound, drenched in sub-low frequencies and incredible beat work. The dreamlike pads and melodies perfectly complement the rolling rhythm, creating an instant sessions roller.

Moving on to 'Dragon Fly', it's a straight-up ambient 2step bass-heavy recording, with impressive beatwork and tons of warmth to keep you locked in and hypnotised. Heavy influences of garage underpin the production, and the drop is an absolute force. Rowl's production, composition, and programming levels have reached new heights in this track.

The EP ends with 'Watchin Dub', a true heads recording with deep rolling subs and skippy beats that will keep you nodding along until the very end.

This EP is the type of music our label was built for, and we really hope our original Sessions massive vibe on this stellar release. We can't wait for you to hear it.

Much love.

With 'Hollow Fire', Fevekin brings together his unique take on various downtempo styles in perfect harmony with the vision of Deep Heads.

The Entire EP is drenched with live recorded instruments, all written, performed, and mixed by the one-man band genius known as Feverkin. We hear an array of instruments used in his studio that include Cello, Upright piano, woodwinds, percussions, and many more to this vast and spacious EP.
The finished recordings sound incredible and the detail within the productions are immense.

Feverkin draws influences from the likes of Sorrow, Floating Points, Buena Vista Social Club, Martin Watkinson, Hidden Orchestra, Rachel Grimes, The Smile, Brown Bird, Bremer/McCoy, Bonobo & Ichiko Aoba to name a few that truly inspire him.

About the focus track ‘Dance upon Ashes’
The final song in the sequence is also the conclusion to the abstract narrative underlying the music in which after we purge ourselves of undesirable qualities within, we feel a new sense of inner peace and composure. I dusted off the lily harp that's just been sitting under my desk for years that I haven't used since the Calendar Project (so 2017?!). It's a fun instrument to play after getting through the processes of tuning it, literally, every note works.
