With Echoes of Ego, the debut 12” on fleet.dreams’ newly formed Vinezza Records, the aim was to create an eclectic tapestry of magnetic rhythms that satisfied the listener equally in the club, a mix or at home. Insisting on sacrificing the mentality that dance music must follow a certain formula to be well received & instead pushing the envelope to challenge conventional notions of genre.

Semioptila sets the stage with a distinctively layered, percussive discussion. A repetitious rhythm is tethered loosely by a breathy, calmative vocal before introducing a lucid soft synth that shifts the narrative into a deep & tranquilizing sonic progression. Tan Gallant follows suit with a feverish, conga driven conversation. Intoxicatingly narrated by a meditative mantra & a stutterstepping, trance inducing melody that lines the velvet fabric with an effervescently galloping bass.

B side opener Deep Respire initiates a new chapter in this aural odyssey defined by dub adjacent mixing and instrumentation. Vaporous chords strike and drift across an ethereal landscape of hand drums and scattered hi hats, materializing in a lush and delirious environment. Title track, Echoes of Ego, bestows a celestial assemblage of kaleidoscopic textures with a rolling sub bass that pulsates in perpetual fervency. Gaining momentum at a meticulously calculated pace, wind chimes crescendo, making way for a sensual and spiritual harmonic consummation.

In a world of musical conformity, fleet.dreams stands as a beacon of creativity and a testament to the boundless possibilities of electronic music, ensuring that listeners remain captivated and curious. Written & inspired while traveling Mexico in the summer of 2023, Echoes of Ego is an introspective reflection of self via hypnotic percussive rhythms, resulting in a seductive ballad of tech meditation.

Colton R. May, better known by his stage name fleet.dreams, is an up-and-coming producer who recently moved to the bustling city of Brooklyn, New York. Having spent the previous two years in Detroit, honing his skills as a DJ while studying from the likes of Rick Wilhite, Norm Talley, Marcellus Pittman and Dez Andrés, fleet.dreams was destined for big things in 2020. However, when he arrived at his new home, much of the city was entering lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic - putting much of his plans on hold. Stuck inside and away from the dancefloor, May had ample time to meditate and imagine a world where we could chase our dreams once again.His latest effort Return of the Dreamer is the result of this meditation. The 4-track EP is the second from his cassette imprint Leopard Cage, and a follow-up to last December’s incredible vocal house mission statement Selph Luv. The lead track from the record, titled "Silk Surface (Dub Mix)," is reminiscent of the Balearic, lo-fi house grooves that marked the scene around 2016 with artists such as Patrick Holland fka Project Pablo. Throughout the piece, fleet.dreams works in an assortment of east coast garage house melodies and expertly combines them with elements of Brazilian jazz that make for a vibe that is both laidback and uplifting.As we journey back to normalcy this summer, I can't think of a more fitting soundtrack than Return of the Dreamer. Make sure to grab your copy when hits stores May 28th.

return of the dreamer [M.2]

PREMIERE: fleet.dreams - silk surface (dub mix)

The simple pleasure of a crisp hi-hat, a bass line groove, “A Basement, A Red Light, And A Feelin’…” Reminding us of the sensual subtleties we all desire. As the haze of our collective fog begins to lift, the time has come for the Return of the Dreamer.

Return of the Dreamer

APPAREL PREMIERE: fleet.dreams - Infinite Divinity [Leopard Cage]

Texas-born, Brooklyn-based producer/deejay fleet.dreams has got the touch; a carefully cultivated craft for dancefloor productions that has provided some of the more uniquely enjoyable American house music in recent memory. fleet.dreams released his debut 12” fleet.magic in 2018 via Washington DC institution PPU records that Resident Advisor praised as “woozy, R&B-inflected synth-funk that could have been released anytime during the last 25 years.”

Fresh off a two year stint in Detroit regularly studying sets from local masters such as Rick Wilhite, Norm Talley, Marcellus Pittman and Dez Andrés, fleet.dreams made his way east, landing in NYC just as the city was falling into pandemic lockdown. May 28th marked the release of Return of the Dreamer — fleet.dreams’ meditation on the simple joys of house bliss through four effortless east coast garage house grooves that go down with ease and bring to mind everything from the Italo House heights of DFC Records, the Balearic house purity of Don Carlos, and the lush beauty of Glenn Underground, Kerri Chandler, and Pal Joey. The second release on the producer’s newly minted Leopard Cage imprint — Return of the Dreamer is a wildly confident follow up, balancing floor-ready grooves with a distinctly deep sense of spiritual house meditation.

Brooklyn-based label toucan sounds’ latest project, Playground Compilation Vol. 3,  is a staggering, 17-track compilation featuring some of the most exciting new names in the New York electronic underground. All recorded out of toucan sound’s Brooklyn studio, You Too Can Woo, this compilation sees both newcomers to the label, like John Barera, Laenz, Matt Fx, Escaflowne, and regulars such as Haruka Salt, Shifting Gears, musclecars, and Toribio, bringing the heat and carrying the torch for New York dance music. The result is a kaleidoscopic portrait of the city’s vibrant underground dance community. Kicking the project off is first-time toucan sounds guest, fleet.dreams, with his anthemic, melodic slice of tropical house, “can’t stop the moment”. The song serves as a fitting introduction to this massive compilation, with the main ear-worm refrain, “This is how we do it from the Brooklyn side”, serving as a kind of rallying cry for the rest of the tracks that follow. Everything about this opening track is energetic, unabashed, jubilant, and just damn fun. Its spunky attitude and brash confidence feel very akin to the spirit of the city itself. The track is replete with bongos, handclaps, truncated synths, an undeniably funky bassline, and layered ‘80s-sounding vocal samples which feel like they could have been ripped straight out of a long-lost Run DMC hidden gem.The effect here is a kind of filtering of New York music culture– namely the golden age of hip-hop and funk– into ecstasy-inducing modern dance music. This song is a great opening and encapsulation of the unbridled energy which each of the other tracks on this compilation build upon and harness to their own unique and delightful ends.

"Close your eyes, feel the beat.. hold the vortex before you. Open your eyes slowly and begin. It’s not your mind that needs to work, it’s your body.. and you can’t separate the two. The more you feel the beat, the faster your body will go. It’s easy. If you reach inside you can feel your heart pumping fast, moving all that oxygen rich blood through your body. Just like a fire needs oxygen to burn, your cells need oxygen to burn impurities. Now your body is doing great on its own, let it work. Feel the flow of the wave, back and forth in your hands. You don’t need your mind for this."
