This song is one of my favorites from the new album "A Song Across Wires". I wrote this track on acoustic instruments (guitar, a six string fretted cello I had built that's like a bass or baritone equivalent of the viola de gamba, glockenspiel and others). Tydi and I worked together on the track (beats and bass) over email and eventually in person. We had a blast in the studio on this and eventually the culmination of these efforts was sent in a rough state to the country artist Plumb.

She wrote a wonderfully simple and catchy vocal. We worked with this vocal for a while and it became apparent after some time that her management and representatives had a different idea about what this song should be and what it should be for so we began looking for new singers (still bummed about this, Plumb is a great artist).

Enter Tanya Zygar. She is friends with Tydi and we sent her the track and she wrote a beautiful verse melody. I sang a multi-track chorus top line and sent it back to her. We went back and forth with iterations of lyrics and eventually settled on a nautical theme (which I love). Stem the Tide is an expression originally used to mean that a ship was sailing against the tide fast enough to make headway over the ground or to move faster than the tide in the opposite direction. 

I spend about a week after all this doing vocal editing, glitching and comping and eventually laid the vocal into the final mix.

All said and done, this song probably took in work hours the better part of 2 months. I worked on in in Logic 6.43 on a 24bit PT rig (OS9), OS X Logic 7 and 9, Live 8 and 9 and was stem printed from Logic 9. 

My favorite thing about it is the acoustic instruments playing in tandem to the analog synths, plugins and glitch elements. Very proud to share this one with you.

Memories in music, everlasting impressions: this simple mantra defined ’Scars’, ilan Bluestone’s debut artist album.

Released in April 2018, the iTunes Dance #1 album demonstrates ilan’s love for all aspects of electronic music. From festival favourites ‘Will We Remain?’, ‘Let Me Know’ and ‘Frozen Ground’, to the reflective moments of ‘Guru’ and ‘Eclipse’, the record took an ecliptic path through sounds of trance, house and ambient yet all tracks bore an undeniable ilan Bluestone mark.

ilan brought the ‘Scars’ tour to 65 locations across 4 continents, leaving an everlasting impression on trance fans from EDC Las Vegas to Creamfields U.K. and Above & Beyond’s ABGT300 celebrations in Hong Kong.

The closing chapter to ilan’s golden year, ‘Scars’ (Remixed) puts his songs in the hands of a trusted inner-circle of musical contemporaries.

Debuted at ABGT300 Hong Kong, German trance titans Cosmic Gate are at their brooding best, flipping ilan’s anthem ‘Frozen Ground’ feat. Giuseppe De Luca. Serbia’s Vintage & Morelli lends a 90's house twist to another De Luca record, ‘I Believe’. There are also reworks from Dutch maestro Rafaël Frost, Russian progressive star PROFF, Spencer Brown, KOVEN and ilan’s musical partner in crime, Maor Levi, who contributes three fresh mixes to the album. Rounding things off is a live studio rework from Glastonbury favourites Shadowlark, the band fronted by ‘Rival’ lead singer Ellen Smith.

‘Scars’ (Remixed) is available to download on the 21st of December

One of the definitive voices of dance music at the turn of the millennium, Gabriel & Dresden returned in 2017, reinvigorated, with crowd-funded album ‘The Only Road’. It was their first artist LP in over 10 years.

An indie-spirited curveball, the album was a critically acclaimed phenomenon: 17 million streams worldwide. A global tour taking in Creamfields, Burning Man, EDC and Tomorrowland. Gabriel & Dresden’s first GRAMMY nomination courtesy of a barn-storming Cosmic Gate remix of ‘Only Road’.

Embracing their return to the manic, disorienting life of touring, the duo sought respite in the tranquillity of their Spokane studio. Here, ensconced in the stillness of nature, the next chapter of the Gabriel & Dresden story was written: a new album called ‘Remedy’.

A collaborative project alongside their 650 Kickstarter backers who helped craft the project, ‘Remedy’ grows from the intimate stories of ‘No One’s To Blame’ and ‘Remember’ to the invigorating, more dance floor orientated, moments ‘Coming On Strong’ and ‘Something Bigger’.

There’s a unity to the narrative as well, with Sub Teal (Brittany O’Neil) providing vocals across much of the journey, punctuated with the brooding sound of Jan Burton on ‘Keep On Holding’ and fellow Spokane native Centre on ‘Remember’.

“Remedy started out as a feeling. Every time we stepped away from the city and ventured into nature, we returned rejuvenated with a strong sense of being connected to something bigger than ourselves. More at peace,” explains Dave Dresden. “Although the meaning behind each song on the album stems from turning points in our lives, through the recording and production of the songs, they took on a character of their own.”

Once again championing the analogue, indie-minded side of electronic music that has made Gabriel & Dresden such a pioneering force, ‘Remedy’ is available digitally, on CD and on vinyl now. Gabriel & Dresden are now touring ‘Remedy’ across North America, with more dates to be added: https://anjunabeats.com/remedy.

Josh Gabriel, Dave Dresden (aka Gabriel & Dresden) and Sub Teal have become lockdown heroes for dance music fans, hosting near daily livestreams on Twitch as part of their Club Quarantine series. 

Their third studio album ‘Remedy’ came out in January, inspired by the comfort we can find when surrounded in nature. We're proud to present a pair of new reworks of 'Will I Change', from Simon Doty and Julian Gray.
 
With appearances on Einmusika and Last Night On Earth under his belt, Canadian producer Simon Doty is a rising star in the melodic house scene. He made his Anjunadeep debut with 'Sama' on Anjunadeep Explorations 11, and most recently released the four-track 'Dear Ben EP'. His music has been supported by the likes of Lane 8, James Grant & Jody Wisternoff, Joris Voorn and Edu Imbernon, and he’s added a deeper flavour to 'Will I Change'.
 
A regular on deadmau5's Mau5trap imprint, Julian Gray made his Anjunabeats debut earlier with 'Static', featuring Zashanell. Showcased on his recent Anjunabeats Worldwide mix, his ‘Will I Change’ remix is a blend of the techno and progressive sounds that he’s known for. 

Both remixes are available now to buy or stream on all digital platforms, alongside previous ‘Remedy’ reworks from Lumïsade, Fatum, Genix, Qrion, Elevven, Nourey and more.

Gabriel & Dresden feat. Sub Teal - Will I Change (Julian Gray Remix)

«Intricate Records is something tangible and emerging from our long-term friendship and creative relations. – It is hard to imagine that someone will make an objection regarding many associable details and ideas of our creative work. The most significant part is that our preferences and tastes intricately but harmoniously amplify each other in most cases. All of us feel it. That is why the creation of a record label is a logical step for our career».

A friendship is one thing, but continuous development is vitally important. This is why the fellows decided not to take a break at the level of current achievements and grounded their own record label. «By the times someone discovers the points of coincidence with the colleagues not only in terms of business, but also creative sphere – that is always a positive experience! – Unification of musical efforts in frames of one label is our next and by no means unimportant step in creative self-fulfillment».

It is important to mention that the quad is not going to limit the newborn imprint’s catalog only with own productions. Intricate Records is also a promising platform for implementation of creative aspiration of other talented producers who feel themselves on the same wave quite often.

«Right at the moment there is no single record label which coincides with my musical taste and general conception, which I would like to see being embodied. Starting a new imprint with the fellow guys, I’m looking forward to the having the possibility of fulfilling myself as an A&R-manager and making the current musical world at least a little bit better. We are going to collaborate with our friends and associates from around the world. I certainly believe, if such projects are held with well-intentioned mood and built on relations of friendship, there are certain chances to make something special and terminative».
