Echoes Of Songs (Luke Abbott Remix)

By Your Side

Injazero is a forward-thinking boutique label straddling Instanbul and London via the impeccable mind of Siné Buyuka. And I’m not just saying that because she also released my album. The diverse and boundary-pushing output of the imprint includes music by Matt Emery, C. Diab, Heinali, KMRU, Hinako Omori, and most recently a collaboration between Tegh & Adel Poursamadi. So I’m always tuned into what Injazero is up to. And this time, I am more than pleased with their latest! Halina Rice is a London-based electronic musician and AV artist, with a debut, titled REDUX released back in 2017. It may have just slipped passed my ears, but it only takes one listen for them to prick up! This is modern electronic music at its finest. Deep rolling bass, sharp synthy stabs, and incredible atmospherics make up this cinematic journey into a mind expressed through ELISION – a fusion of the abstract and real worlds, combining synthetic with organic in music, art, and technology. “The idea is to evoke places that don’t exist – like a surreal parallel world,” says Rice about her sophomore release. “Fracture” is one of my favourite pieces, which is why I selected to premiere it for you here today – it encompasses the fragmentation of reality through jittery and elastic elements, which seem to come in like waves, to unsettle and heal. Further on the album, Rice explores sound through a range of styles, anywhere from experimental IDM to dancefloor hitters, with a nod to artists such as Rival Consoles, Max Cooper, and Jon Hopkins. And if any of these names tickle your fancy, you’ll be in love with Halina Rice.

TRACK PREMIERE : Halina Rice - Fracture

This year in anticipation of the 2nd Annual DH & Friends Holiday Spectacular (info below) I’ve decided to give out some presents.  I’m calling it the 12 days of remixes and I’ll be sharing all of the un-released remixes and edits I’ve made and have been playing in my DJ sets over the last couple years.  Every day between now and the Holiday Spectacular on December 13th I’ll be positing new music on my soundcloud - the remixes and edits include Beyoncé, Nils Frahm, Tyondai Braxton, Empress Of,  Steve Reich, and more…today, to get things started, here’s one of my favorite Michael Jackson tune and one of a special collaboration between Nico’s label Other People and my good friend Tlac’s new drum-tech project Sunhouse.


Happy Holidays,
Dave

Safetalk - Universal (JeanGa & George Remix)

Format: download & stream ; Release: 16.06.2018

Hot on the heels of the first single from Jazzanova’s forthcoming The Pool album is a package of remixes of it that are designed for DJ sets. One comes from New York’s Photay, and the other is from the Jazzanova DJs themselves.

Photay is a producer known for his meticulously crafted grooves and heavy use of field recordings. Ninja Tune, Infinite Machine and Astro Nautico have put them out and the skilled live drummer released his Onism album to great acclaim just last year.

His innovative remix of ‘Rain Makes The River’ feat. Rachel Surmanni reimagines it as a spacious and shimmering piece of electronica. The vocal is sped up during a big crescendo, then bold bass notes and rubbery synths dart about with real energy. It’s a clean, intricate track with plenty of echo adding a dream-like feeling as the future pop grooves and sprinkling of percussion carry you away.

The come Jazzanova themselves, who rework the track in order to fit it into one of their storytelling DJ sets. Their version is a heavy one with weighty drums and big hits setting a slow and sombre groove. The original’s vocals loom large and tons of reverb make the track even more poignant. Some filtered vocals, fizzing synths and busy claps and clicks bring all flesh it out and make it a high impact broken beat track designed to awaken any dance floor.
