Blind Jacks Journey - TRIPP.2

Following Futureboogie’s triumphant start to 2015 with releases by Lonely Boy and PBR Streetgang & X-Press 2, their next installment comes courtesy of Ian Blevins and Al Gobi. 

Ian Blevins is best known as one of Ibiza’s most respected resident DJs, holding down regular slots for the island’s heavyweights such as We Love… and Carl Cox’s Future Disco. Following his previous release on Keep It Zen Records, Blevins makes his Futureboogie debut with four killer cuts both as a solo artist and with Phil Moody as ‘Al Gobi’. 

‘Flapjack’ opens the record with a finely crafted of synth lead, which slowly develops to become the melodic focal point of the track. The catchy bassline provides the solid backbone needed for the songs other melodic elements to flourish, with deep chords and stabs setting the tone and influencing the tracks melancholic feel. 

‘Tribu 2’ sees more of Blevins’ signature synth work, with the crunchy lead taking center stage in the mix down and driving the track forward. With more dancefloor dancefloor urgency than ‘Flapjack’, the string stabs build the tension during the breakdown, before returning to the infectious lead melody of Blevins’ synth work.

‘Cold Spring’ is the result of Blevins’ collaboration with Phil Moody, and takes the release in a slightly different sonic direction. Again, utilising melodic synths, and with the addition of an arpeggiator swirling in and out of focus, this piece is complimented by single note string loops and off-beat, dubbed-out claps, creating a dream-like sound, yet, still suited to the dancefloor. 

The use of melody is again apparent on ‘35K’ with retro chords and leads synths, complimented by classic drum machine snare rolls and hi hats, all contributing to the tracks vintage feel and a nod to a by-gone era.

Sneaky Records are proud to present a stunning debut from Ian Blevins. The British producer has been conjuring up a melancholic style that draws upon classic disco, soul, and house as much as much driving acid and techno for the best part of a decade. Those who’ve followed his rock solid run of releases on Futureboogie, Colour Series, Audio Parallax and more, will find ‘909 Balloons’ a beguiling addition to the catalogue. The EP is also a canny portrait of Blevins’ international DJ schedule, with co-productions and remixes from some talented friends bolstering the strength of the producer’s own solo cuts.

Blevins’ sensuous, yet bruising sound is nowhere more in evidence than on 909 Balloons’ title track, where rippling kicks, toms and acid bass underpin languorous house piano chords and urgent pants of vocal sampling. Likewise, Blevins’ collaborative productions with fellow Brit, Phil Moody, under the Al Gobi alias generate an unusual momentum by pitting mid-tempo percussion muscle and breezy textural work against one another. On “Libanese”, porous synths render deep acid squelches strangely weightless, and “I Need” wrenches a similar cloudy elegance from clipped vocal samples.

The strength of the EP’s two remixes are a testament to the quality of Blevins’ original material. A take on “909 Balloons” by the prolific Ashworth is a Four Tet-esque twinkling, propulsive club tool, and Bird of Paradise’s “Libanese” remix emphasises the alien extravagance of the original with unnerving washes of ambient noise, and far-out drum machine licks.

The shuttle had finally left earth headed for extra terrestrial life and promise. It burst through the clouds and towards the blue sky which slowly merged to black. The switches flicked and the the lights flashed in the cockpit. He pulled his helmet over his head and tensed. He was ready to enter a zone in which no human had ever been before. His existence was no longer on earth but beyond it's outer reaches. Adrift the tiny rocket ship floated through the sky on to bigger, better things. On to Xager...

NY*AK has released a few records as of late which have caught our attention however this forthcoming release for Technicolour caught the ears straight from the off. Listen to 'Xager'.

Two of the longest running residents for the legendary We Love parties at Space, Ibiza – Bradberry of PBR Streetgang and Ian Blevins – come together for a debut joint release on LA’s Culprit imprint.

United by their Ibiza adventures and roots from the Leeds dance scene, Bradberry and Blevins create a concoction of old school House sounds and a dash of modern electronic disco. Bradberry and Blevins are no strangers to Culprit. PBR’s remix of Lula Circus was one of the label’s success stories of 2014, and Blevins’ ‘10 Miles’ was a standout on Culprit’s ‘Above The City’ compilation in 2013. Bradberry and Blevins premiere the title track - a moody, emotionally charged melodic hook, augmented with subtle acid touches and a memorable bass line riff that culminates into a satisfying crescendo.

Black & Red will be available May 20th via Culprit.

Andrew Scott, aka NY*AK, brings some heavy jams for the first release of 2018 on Local Talk with his "Bound EP". We’re treated to four tracks. The last track 'Sandwiches' features long time collaborator Ian Blevins and contains fuzzed and thumping kicks, a muscular bass line to keep things moving, and a couple drops of acid flavours with rhodes chords to smooth things out. Topped off with some soulful vocal chops, this one's a bonafied workout! A stunning low deep groove for any Theo Parrish or Marcellus Pittman fans out there.

Exclusive Premiere: NY*AK "Sandwiches ft. Ian Blevins" (Local Talk)

City Fly return for their 15th release, backed by serious muscle in the form of NY*AK, and fellow contributors Ian Blevins and Mark Hand, who make up the stomping and spectacular Afghan Jams EP. Starting strong is ‘Return’, with a relentless dub techno energy, graced later by soft vocals and euphoric violin strings making for an epic dancefloor anthem. ‘Slick’, with Mark Hand, veers off into a loose, crackly acid trip. It’s followed by ‘Troia’, rounding off side A with an all-out party of flutes and keys over one infectious ecosystem of drums. Then, on side B, ‘We Both Know’ comes through; NY*AK’s eye-catching, sample-heavy jam with Ian Blevins with an eerie bassline. And the EP concludes with title track ‘Afghan Jam’, featuring Mark Hand - a special groove captured mid-session. Something a house head can easily get lost in.
