Larry Heard Presents Mr. White - You Rock Me

here a preview of the remix by Byron the Aquarius from our upcoming EP "Matching Half" on Delusions of Grandeur. Out on Vinyl Oct 17.

The Label writes this about the record:

As our favourite victims head off to San Francisco and their stateside studio of choice known as Room G to put the finishing touches to their third LP, we have a beautiful little taster of what to expect in the form of the Matching Half EP.

The rise and rise of Session Victim is well documented and even more well deserved seeing as the German duo continue to blow minds and cause waves of joy at every gig they play whether it be their high octane live show or vinyl only DJ sets. As if they weren’t busy enough with their touring they’ve also been finding an incredible flow in the studio, and after recent chats to the boys, they’re visibly excited and bubbling about how they’re finding themselves in the most creative and positive minds to date. No difficult third LP scenario for them then!

Fresh off the back of releases and remixes on Retreat, Toytonics, Boogiefuturo and Splendor & Squalour, we present you with their first original material of the year. Matching Half is classic SV, it’s fair to say. The boys build up a percussive, disco groove with a two-beat repeating rhodes riff which bounces around the kick drum
beautifully. Things build up simply and subtly to the breakdown four minutes in at which point a new piano progression signals the next section of blissed-out dancefloor euphoria. Once again, they’ve managed to create a memorable, uplifting, warm and jazzy track which will stick firmly in your head. And not a vocal in sight!

Flip over for Up To Rise which uses a similar sound palette and once again we have a disco-edged balearic instrumental whose strengths lie in the dubby, improvised feel, no doubt stemming from their late-night live studio jams. Simple guitar hooks and ad-libbed vocals add to the human feel which Session Victim always inject by the bucket-load. This track has been getting an amazing reaction from their recent live shows.

Finally we have none other than Byron The Aquarius on remix duties to give us his spin on Matching Half. The Detroit native should be known to most of you having had killer releases on both Kyle Hall’s Wild Oates and Theo’s Sound Signature. Here he adds a bit of that raw, Detroit attitude whilst keeping the soul truly intact. A skipping house groove bolsters the energy nicely and Byron incorporates some tasteful new parts to help make the remix his own. Classy stuff we hope you’ll agree.

TODD TERJE - Jungelknugen (Four Tet remix)

Across the street from where Trouw used to be, lies a nice little hotel. It was in the basement of this hotel, where a curious meeting happened. Something so coincidental and so unassumingly trivial, that even the slightest event of randomness could have prevented this from ever happening, yet it did happen and here we are. 
This curious meeting was the result of an open studio door of Nachtbraker, and the hint of disco coming out the door, where Dr. San Proper just happened to pass by in search of whatever it is he searches for at 10 am on a Tuesday. The good doctor decided to walk in, greeted Nachtbraker in his ordinary weird way and casually grabbed a microphone. Nachtbraker pressed record, Dr. Proper got his inner Mick Jagger on, and behold: Misses, madame, mademoiselle was born: an up-tempo disco groove with Nachtbraker’s touch of loose arrangement, and San Proper’s amazing vocals. We asked our good friends and great producer duo Session Victim to re-interpret M.m.m. and they gave it a great dreamy-but-groovy twist, adding pads and shufﬂing hi-hats. 
We had already heard Nachtbraker working on a deep house – meets – afro track a while back and he made 2 versions of this track to complement the EP. Hamdi is probably one of the most euphoric tracks in his discography to date, and it’s one you’re likely to hear a lot in the coming time. With the use of chopped vocals (we’ll let you ﬁgure out the source material) and a teasing build up, the track breaks down into a lovely chant, adding energy with every bar without ever coming close to being tacky or overproduced. The alternate version is an excursion into 808 booty territory, using different chops, alienating loops and yes, even a siren.

The music of Genius of Time has always been defined by a certain elegance and grace. Finding new ways into and out of the labyrinth that some people call (deep) house, one the Swedish duo’s inner strength is the uncanny ability to create tension, sustaining and playing with it, before rewarding the listener (or dancer) with a fulminating mirror ball. Same goes for their treatment of percussive elements. 
„Peace Bird“, the opener of GOT’s EP of the same name, is a prime-example of that technique: a tight build-up and an intricate breakdown lead to heavily strings and foolproof floor finesse. Coming along with „Smiling Into Eternity“ that mellows you down easy as well as the club ready  „Rymd01“, the whole thing is a more than worthy successor to GOT’s first EP for Running Back almost five years ago. Niceness unlimited. Nerd facts: most of the elements of these three tracks here were recorded live and then mixed down on a reel to reel. No safety net, no double bottom!  Genius of time and genius of love.
