TD004 B - Talking Drums - Close Orbit

A1 - Feels So Good (Feels So Right) (Abel Edit)

This album was born from an inherent need to transcend, teleport, and transform. It exists by the weight of each song created, they have their own pulse and breathe and help in the creation of our own dimension: Planet Beach.

Planet Beach is an alternative reality space, somewhere between future and present, a state of mind. We encourage you to enjoy this album with your whole body, as if absorbing the heat of the sun.

Nico Jean & DJ Raw - L The New Born

It's debut time!
Making his first appearance on wax is Manchester's hottest property, Approach Release. When he isn't creating cross-genre chaos behind the decks, this genial gee mans the tram, so you gotta know he's comfortable at the controls.
In addition to a clean drivers license, the man is in possession of some seriously deep crates and this three-tracker sees him pick out a few obscurities in serious need of some scalpel.

The A side serves up the swooning space disco of 'Krypton Factor', a mid-tempo trip into the mirror ball nebula which pairs sweet female vox and dramatic sax with malfunctioning electronics and chest height bass riffs. File it under set opener, sci-fi frother and future anthem!

Over on the B side, A.R. indulges in a little beatific boogie via 'Coma', an outer national excursion building from bubbling bass and classy keys into the eventual heart-swelling vocal, an arms aloft moment if ever we've heard one.
We've been dropping this anywhere there's a CDJ and are just as happy as you lot to have it on wax. Approach Release makes it three hits out of three on the B2, as a slept-on slice of synth-pop Francais gets a necessary extension and leaves its lame chorus on the cutting room floor. Tune in for taut drum machines, playful melodies and a chic vocal.

PREMIERE : Approach Release - Krypton Factor

Reissue number three for https://soundcloud.com/heelsandsouls combines the Balearic bliss of Paprika Soul’s, ‘Come With Me’, with Soft Sugar’s dream house gem ‘Métro’ and an unreleased version of the tripped-out groover ‘Swampin'. A cherry picking of the best of three rare and
sought after ‘90s EPs from the minds of High Wycombe’s Alan Barnes, Andrew Spiller and Andrew Hughes.
Paprika Soul saw Barnes, a DJ in his own right who regularly worked with the likes of Gilles Peterson and Norman Jay, join forces with Andrew Spiller, keys player for UK jazz funk band Push. Spiller was also co-owner of Radar Studios out of which Barnes and Hughes were making music as Soft Sugar.
About as anthemic as they get, Paprika Soul's 'Come With Me (Sea
Breeze)' is an otherworldly electronic interpretation of Tania Maria’s
beloved Brazilian jazz funk classic from '83. Vocalist Sarah Newell's
unique delivery combines with a euphoric blend of Barnes’ and
Spiller’s crisp drum machine programming and cosmic synthwork.
Complete with crashing waves and Balearic birds, it’s a timeless,
endorphin-tingling track that feels even more relevant than ever. The
A-side also features the brilliant street soul flavoured ‘The Chill’ mix
and the ‘Bossa Mix’, the most true in form to the original.
On the flip, an earlier meeting of minds between Barnes and Andrew Hughes, that culminated in Soft Sugar’s dream house flavoured ‘Métro (Funk Mix)’ - a homage to time spent cruising the Parisian train system. Sighted by Barnes as his favourite of their productions, it blends that riviera feel of classic M1 stabs and sweeping pads with a dreamy bassline and stuttering breaks. Sadly it didn’t get the recognition it deserved at the time and has since become hot property for the eagle-eyed digger out there.
Closing it out, an unreleased alternate version of ‘Swampin’, made in the following session to the mix found on the Basement Records House Department EP. Mesmerizingly smooth, this 110bpm house-groover busts the brain with wigged out chants and intoxicating
arpeggiations.
Fully licensed from Alan Barnes himself and remastered by Cicely Balston, 20% of profits from Heels & Souls Recordings and Prime Direct Distribution will be donated to Zaatari Radio – a humanitarian collective working with war-affected communities around the world.
