Release Text:
Ryan Berkeley returns with a brand new release, "The Arp Ascending EP" in his signature stripped back and raw house style. 6 tracks that all started out as live jams and reworked into a collection of songs that flow through floating leads, deep bass, dubbed out influences and subtle vocals. Equal parts deep early morning energy and soundscape.

'Goin' Deep opens the EP with a Chicago infused house groove and soaring analogue leads. Keeping the energy at 100%, track 2 'Wise Groove' is a minimal roller with heavy low end, one for the smoke filled rooms and early morning enthusiasts.

'La Niña' boils down to vast soundscapes, a slow number showcasing Berkeley's dynamic side, reminiscent of some of his earlier works.
'The Arp Ascending', the releases namesake song starts with heavy drums and epic arpeggiated synths, underneath a rolling bass-line that keeps things moving, all the way up and up, ending in an epic climax.

The EP dives down again into 'She Sells Sea Shells', a lush downtempo number with layers of blips and bloops weaving through strings and 808's. Rounding out the EP is the dubbed out finisher, 'Polish & Protect' with hypnotic stabs and FM leads, clocking in at an appropriate 4 minutes 20 seconds.

Seven Years of Finding Figaro

"Jerry (B.P.T.) and I send each other recs of thriller/drama movies from the 80s and 90s and much like the music of this era, sometimes the worse the movie is, the more we like it. So here is a mix with a lot of the good/bad music from these good/bad movies … tunes from Body Double, To Die For, Stir of Echoes, Weekender, Sliver, Hackers, Great Expectations, The Vanishing and more… all stitched together with some balearic favorites that my friends are probably ready for me to retire. Ninety seven minutes of wine hand wavers for the whole family (shoutout Leda). Enjoy.” - @fundidofundido

Taxi Kréol - 15 Ans (Bodega Rubb)

Reasons To Be Cheerful - E8

The people in the room began to dance, worries were left outside on the pavement and would not be collected until sometime tomorrow morning. All love within this desparate place was to be found amidst the room, what was external was to be forgotten and ignored for the time being. He had come here to dance with freedom and self preservation. This was his night upon the floor and the rest of society could give a damn how he moved to and fro with a swing in his step. 

Ryan Berkeley is set to release an inspired new EP on Houses In Motion in what will be the fifth outing on the record label. A strong release spanning a breadth of genres and style - this one is a treat.

Melbourne's Houses in Motion are a label we've had the pleasure of premiering music from before. Continuing to stay with their ethos of releasing only local, Aussie artists, they have the pleasure of welcoming fellow Melburnian Ryan Berkeley into their family. It's been a little while since HIM's last release but we're happy they're pushing only the best talent that they come across. HIM005 from Ryan Berkeley is a bit of an intergalactic journey that builds up as the record progresses.

Starting off with some lush melodies on the A side in the forms of 'Everything in Moderation' and 'All I Love', we see a subdued and dreamy side of the Australian producer. Floaty cosmic atmospheres and bloops take you straight into outer space. As the A side draws to a close this spaceship picks up some steam with 'Crutches'. Subdued squelchy melodies and arpeggiated riffs are the turning point on the record and there's no going back as the hard-hitting B side looms on the horizon.

B1 'JuKnow?' brings us straight into house territory with a chunky bass, chopped vocal loops and extra-terrestrial bleeps as we approach the blazing heat of the sun on this journey into outer space. Climaxing on the B2 and our premiere today, we feel the full intensity of the record culminate in 'You Dance, You Move'. A vocal sample tells you to do just that as heavy drums and an acid line start to melt your brain. You're fully in alien territory now and there's no turning back.

PREMIERE: Ryan Berkeley - You Dance, You Move

In this 7 minute drop, Ryan combines his cosmic synth, acid undertones and punchy percussion to create an atmosphere that is floating and ostensibly mild - soon you discover it promises more. A superb buildup and sundry assortment of percussion and echoed claps create a thrilling climax.

All proceeds go to Fire Relief Fund for First Nation Communities and Wildlife Victoria's Bush Fire Appeal.

Label: Love Above Records (https://soundcloud.com/loveaboverecords)

In 2016 in Melbourne, The Love Above began as a sanctuary of house and disco in Melbourne’s underground club scene. A party in which DJs explored their record collections in search of that dusty disco banger or that forgotten King Street b-side dub mix. A place where dancers could feel safe, free, and welcome to express themselves and their individuality. The sound was house music. The mentality was freedom and love. Finally, in 2019, Ryan Berkeley, DJ Ingrid & Dawn Again (The Love Above) embarked on their journey to share their love for house music. From this, Love Above Records was formed.
 
Love Above Records is a medium through which we can champion the sound that defines The Love Above. We aim to push house music with a modern twist, taking influence from the early years. Love Above Records is an extension of our beloved parties, and a way to take the party with you. A party you can play at home, a party you can carry in your record bag…and of course, something to start a party of your own. 
 
LAR001 is a selection of tracks made by us and our close friends. It has taken a long time for it to come to fruition. From once existing only through long conversations on couches at afterparties, to finally holding a physical record in our hands...we present the debut release from Love Above Records - LAR001 Various Artists
