Carl Cox is an industry figurehead whos legacy in music includes his iconic label Intec, which he runs with friend and business partner Jon Rundell, and the new release is from Jason Fernandes. UK based Jason Fernandes returns to Intec for his third EP on the imprint, and further solidifies his position as a core member of the label's family of artists. With an impressive back catalogue, Jason Fernandes has also featured music on Hans Bouffmyhre's Sleaze, Sasha Carassi's Phobiq, and his own label Subfigure. Along with many solo productions, Jason has also collaborated with heavyweight producers such as The Advent for releases on labels such as Drumcode and H-Productions. A popular DJ playing gigs all over Europe and further afield, his tracks are often supported by other club spinners such as Adam Beyer, Chris Liebing and Slam. 

Heath kick starts the EP with a blend of spacious production, atmospheric textures, and spooky vocals. Deep and eerie, there is a compelling mood to the track which adds to its overall sense of suspense. Its tough percussion and purposeful structure are slow building, but with everything combined this is a captivating cut of dark techno. 

Royal Free is the second track and compared to the first cut it has a more up tempo groove with a warehouse party vibe. The rave influenced synths and vocal stabs are layered with snare rolls and bass drops that give the track a hands in the air energy, and implementing a subtle tech house influence to give it some genre crossover appeal.

"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." - Albert Einstein

I will never completely understand the composition of music. It doesn't mean that it can't bring me the greatest pleasure I've ever known in life. I'm so happy to witness the evolution of electronic music through many years, and I'm excited (and ever so curious) to see how it evolves further. 

Thanks to the producers who make it possible, and the DJs that bring it to life in another light. I can't thank all of you enough for the countless hours of listening pleasure, the shit-eating-grin that practically breaks my face, and the contentment that fills my mind and soul... Perfection does not come easy; however in music, I have found it's infinitely possible... Words cannot express my gratitude for your talents and that you share your gift with all who will listen… 

Thank you Sound Cloud for giving me a healthy addiction, despite your many f*cks up and flaws.

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything." - Plato

"Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul."

"My best friends are playlists."

"Don't put off 'till tomorrow what you can listen to today.... If you must expect, expect nothing.... The instant we start trying to listen, our minds get in the way.... If you have to seek for the meaning behind the music, you'll never find it.... What a sad, boring universe if all music were the same.... Like life, each musical composition has a beginning, and an end. What truly matters is what we choose to do during the interval.... Emotions and thoughts beat in the heart, reside in the mind, die with the body. Transformed into music, emotions and thoughts echo in the heart, resonate in the mind, live on forever...." - John Ortiz, PhD (The Tao of Music)
