I was the lucky one to lay a vibes track on this stunningly beautiful piece.

Sophie Hunger - Walzer für niemand

Originally released on Dragonfly Records in 2005, Tripswitch's debut album Circuit Breaker landed to widespread critical acclaim and became recognised as one of the landmark releases of the psy-chill genre, establishing Nick as one of the godfathers of the scene. Tracks from the album were picked up for numerous compilation licenses by the likes of Nick Warren, Jose Padilla and Claude Challe, and continue to be licensed for compilations, TV and film - most recently "Roll Your Own" has been included in the soundtrack to the Bollywood movie "The Blueberry Hunt". 

The first release quickly sold out and 2 years later, by which time copies were changing hands on ebay for as much as $150, Dragonfly re-released it as a double CD package including a completely reworked edition with versions of each track from a clutch of the world's top electronic producers. 

Both original releases were dogged by digital distribution issues and were therefore never available for download in many parts of the world. Section Records inherited and sold off the remaining CD stock in 2010,  and in 2012 re-issued the original 2005 Circuit Breaker album as part of our own digital catalogue. Now in 2013, we're delighted to be able to add Circuit Breaker Rewired to that collection, completing the Tripswitch discography and finally making it available worldwide.

"Re-vamped into a sun-kissed body of work" (DJ Mag, Oct 2007) 

“A great selection of remixes of one of my favourite albums "
Nick Warren

Some comments about the original ‘Circuit Breaker’:

“Everything is very beautiful; each track starts slowly and takes you on a journey. It's quite a sexy album."
Anoushka Shankar - New York Times, March 26, 2006

”Uplifting, surprisingly refreshing and begging to be described as ‘Psychedelic Chic’.”
DJ Mag - 4/5 stars

“Welcome, welcome, welcome. To one of the finest chillout albums ever recorded. To the first genuinely essential chilled release of 2005.”

“The mighty LSD have done it again with Circuit Breaker - another classic down tempo album.”

Roll Your Own (Youth vs Subsonar remix)

Collaboration between Joshu (Antigua) & India Blue (England), finding folk patterns in our trans-Atlantic memories.



Lyrics
----------
I’ve been lost in a butterfield
I’ve been seeing in blue
Making like I’ve been ready to
Head on to you

There’s a saying by the waterside
It doesn’t matter what you do
This life is just a breath of air
Like a stone, you’ll fall through

Are we late for the opening?
Has the dusk been and gone?
I’ve been so busy becoming
I forgot how to be anymore

Maybe I'm Honey

Butterfield Waltz

Butterfield Waltz (India Blue & Joshu)

Collaboration between Joshu (Antigua) & India Blue (England), finding folk patterns in our trans-Atlantic memories.



Lyrics
----------
Wind come take me now
Before I got my own way

Bartered by the night
Three knots take me west
In the morning

Shall we find the Summerland
Beneath the quickening?
The quickening

Tired morning sun
Changing tack alone
Again

Nothing left undone
Make good my way
Oh, Atlas

Shall we find the Summerland
Beneath the quickening?
The quickening

In between the I and me

3 Knots

3 Knots (India Blue & Joshu)

collaboration between Joshu (antigua) & India Blue (england), finding folk patterns in our trans-atlantic memories.

Lyrics
----------
I was found by the altar
Wearing red for a change
My brother once told me
It’s where you go to be saved
Ahh

I drank a spoon of warm water
Held my hand to the flame
Listened for footsteps
It’s what you do to stay sane
Ahh

Ribbon come tie round my finger
And help me in floating away
I forgot what I need to remember
So I’ve packed it away for today
Ahh

The pots that I’m turning are turning to ashes
The slippery surface is keeping me balanced
The stars are all moving but nobody noticed
The colours cascading inside of the darkness

I see it all
It all

Maybe I'm honey
Maybe I’m stray
It sounds kind of funny
It’s one way to play safe

The Ballad of St. Nectan

The Ballad of St. Nectan (India Blue & Joshu)

Raised in Antigua & Barbuda on mangoes, calypso, and the ocean, Joshu crafts quietly beautiful indie folk songs meant for gentle afternoons or silent moments alone.  With British roots, his Caribbean childhood was steeped in the eclectic musical tastes of his parents and the island.  From John Martyn to Jack Johnson to King Short Shirt, these influences have inspired a beautiful combination of folk and groove with deep lyrical content.

His first EP Lines of Time, co-produced with Justin “JusBus” Nation (John Legend, Jah Cure, Kes) garnered over 2 million streams, with the single Where Did the Time Go winning the John Lennon Songwriting Contest in 2019.  Following this success, they collaborated again on the follow-up Ocean Daze EP, which interwove gaelic-inspired melodies and West Indian rhythms for a soft, nostalgic island sound.

Emerging from the pandemic, just as his covid project was getting dangerously close to becoming a full time job (he started a mushroom farm), Joshu returned with a Mahogany Session, featuring the title track of his new EP, way back home.  Inspired by a journey sailing across the Atlantic, the record serves as an introspective exploration of place, pondering how one comes to belong in a land, and the quiet discomfort of never feeling truly at home.
