HSM PREMIERE | Last Nubian - Ride For Me  [Inhale Exhale]

Artist: Milton Jackson
Title:  House Arrest EP
Release 3rd December 2021
Format: Digital
Cat No: FRD272

Following hot on the heels of the brilliant collab release with Shur-I-
Kan, the man like Milton Jackson steps up for his first solo release for
Freerange since 2009.  With just a couple of recent and forthcoming
releases for Closer To Truth and Housewax, we welcome the Scotsman back with open arms as he delivers a five track EP which we’re sure you’ll agree has been well worth the wait!

Opening track Remember reminds us why we first fell for MJ’s music all
those years ago.  Filmic strings add that deep, widescreen mood whilst a
punchy house groove and bouncing square wave bassline satisfy the low end junkies.

Lockdown Love continues with a brilliant flip of a familiar sample, loaded with a positivity that can’t fail to lift the floor and with that crunchy, raw production courtesy of MJ’s beloved EMU sampler.
For the third track he drops the BPM for the blissed-out slice of heaven
entitled Adriatica.  Here we get a good listen of Milton in musical mode
as he goes heavy on lush Rhodes, 80’s Moog lines and sun-soaked strings.

On Birdsong we’re treated to a twitchers delight as things head deep into a tropical oasis with another slo-mo house groove to smooch n’ sway to.

Wrapping up the release we head full on Balearic with Miami Voice,   a nod to the synth pioneers Vangelis and Moroder and just the kind of retro beauty to reduce a grown man to tears as the sun rises over a Glasgow afterparty.

wewillalwaysbealovesong has very quietly become a much treasured outlet for classy hosue sounds by those who know. It is the on form Retromigration who steps up now following EPs on Handy and Wolf Music that deserve more attention than they seem to have so far got. He brings his sleek modern deep house style to the fore here with opener 'Secret Of A Pimp' layering up crispy boom-bap house drums with warm, whirring pads and smart vocal sample. The don Jimpster adds his textbook musicality to a fine remix, then 'Flying Lotus' brings a more airy and melodic vibe for outdoor dancing. The Franc Spangler remix is dubby and deep as you like.

It's funny how things turn out sometimes. You set out do one thing and what comes out the other end is something altogether different. Cue Freerange Records…
 
What started life as a simple platform for one man to unleash his love of house on the unsuspecting public, has somehow transformed into one of the most revered independent dance music labels in the world. Not that he, or we, are complaining.
 
Kick-started in 1996, London based Freerange records is the brainchild of two close pals - Tom Roberts and Jamie Odell. To begin with, this shiny new sonic springboard was used solely by Jamie to indulge his two production monikers – Audiomontage and Jimpster. However, once he’d found his groove, the pair started searching for talent that shared their musical vision. Soon enough, they were joined by a selection of new artists who also had a vehement love of groove-based, soul-tinged house music that united the organic and electronic. Enter Shur-I-Kan, Andreas Saag (AKA Stateless & Swell Session), Switch, Only Freak, Palm Skin Productions and Trevor Loveys. In these guys, Jamie and Tom had not just found a tight-knit crew, but a succinct musical troupe – Freerange now had a truly identifiable sound. 
 
By the millenium their releases were popping up in the boxes of top jocks world over – Garnier, Bug, Richards, Middleton - the list goes on. Tracks like Get Ya Dub On, The Bounce, and Get on Downz suddenly became synonymous with the house music of the time and even more impressively, big records for DJs who were known for quite contrasting musical styles. Unbeknown to them they had helped kick start something of a mini revolution and suddenly found themselves at the forefront of a new  house movement.
 
Since then, the imprint just hasn't stopped turning heads. As well as welcoming yet more exciting talent into the family fold - something that the boys hold very dear - the label has excelled in drafting in poignant and on-song remixers to add spice to each and every package. Their colour series compilations – which periodically sum up their latest wares - are some of the most successful and sought after collections in modern day dance music which is definitely something to be proud of in such challenging times.
 
Alongside mainstays Jimpster, Shur-I-Kan and Manuel Tur the label now has the supremely skilled, Detroit Swindle, Pittsburgh Track Authority, Guillaume And The Coutu Dumonts and Hyenah under its wing; all of which are artists in the truest sense of the word.
