Afterhours house and bass-inclined tunes from the Scottish producer.
Sei A is young Scottish "tech house" producer Andy Graham. The quotation marks reference Graham's Discogs page. And while this might not be an entirely inaccurate description of the music he makes, it would be an over-simplification of an artist who's drawn upon a wealth of 4/4 styles since debuting back in 2008. Graham's first LP dropped that year through Missive, showcasing an artist who wasn't afraid to marry melody to stomping club beats, while his latest full-length on Turbo, White Rainbow, combined claustrophobic synthesizers with restless vocals and rhythms. In addition to marking himself out as a bit of remix specialist—Terence Fixmer, Booka Shade and Azari &amp; III have been among his recent refixes— Graham heads up the Seinan Music imprint, which has proffered a modest trio of releases since being established in 2008.
For all of Graham's acquired credits these past few years we have to admit to being a little taken aback by this mix for us. As touched on below, a subtle yet distinctive bass music influence runs through these 65 minutes (think Mount Kimbie rather than Skream), all fleshed out by a delicately composed selection of afterhours house.
What have you been up to recently?
For the last couple of months I've been getting together some fresh tracks. I've been back and forth with a lot of material but really trying to nail/develop a certain sound, trying to curate a fresh sound for myself and listeners alike to keep it all interesting and different at the same time. On the release front I've been finalising two new EPs for Turbo, with one of the tracks featured at the start of the mix, "Frozen Flower."
How and where was the mix recorded?
The mix was recorded in my small studio in London. I used two Pioneer CDJ-1000s and a Pioneer DJM-600 mixer. I then took it all into Logic 8 and fixed it up slightly. I use Logic for production and like to have my mixes at the end to have a somewhat wholesome sound/mix.
Can you tell us a little bit more about the idea behind the mix?
The mix was to try and cover various elements of techno/bass/dub; mainly using it as a warm-up tool to bring it forward into the "later hours" type vibe and also to showcase a couple of new Sei A tracks/remixes.
Your mix appears to draw upon bass music influences—would this be accurate? And if so, has this influence been creeping into your music recently?
Without a doubt, yes. I'm glad this mix shows that. My DJ sets are somewhat covering that sound more and more. Living in London has helped this as well. Although Glasgow has something really special going on at the moment but that's well deserved. There's so much good music out there, the wealth of talent at the moment is so inspiring, it's amazing.
What are you up to next?
Next I have a couple of EPs lined up for Turbo. A new collaboration with someone (no names attached for twitter legal reasons) which will cross loads of sounds—bringing in some really cool singers to work on the collaboration as well. I also have film and game scripts to work on. On top of all that I will begin to make new bodies of work, hopefully making the third album something to remember, if it even becomes an album.

Deetron - Resident Advisor podcast 312 (May 2012)

Press Release:

Deft - Masquerade EP [RWINA018] Vinyl + digital

The latest addition to the Rwina Records roster is Deft – a young producer from Croydon who joins the dots between the London borough’s bass heavy history and dance music’s future. Having developed his artistic persona through sound design and sound art studies, Deft makes carefully crafted dance music for bodies and minds. The Masquerade EP offers five tracks that operate at various tempos and styles showcasing Deft’s knack for catchy rhythms, face melting drops and carefully crafted frequency work.

Crown Point sets things off with hypnotic melodies over a tough, heavy riddim that operates at the sweet spot of 160 bpm full of detailed edits and switches to keep the listener engaged and the bodies moving in the dance. The pressure is on. No Solace slows things down a little coming across like the bastard child of Dirty South rap and Croydon dubstep. A head nodding beat and epic melodies set the scene before the onslaught is unleashed, driving forward with intent over chest pounding sub action and subtle, hypnotic synth melodies. Once more Deft shows his ability to craft intricate productions that rely on simple elements put together in the best possible way.

The Count (Bounce) sees Deft offer his take on Chicago’s pervading influence over dance music, a bouncy, driving production that tips its hat to the Windy City’s juke and footwork scenes while grounding itself in London’s grittier approach. Pounding bass kicks, chopped eponymous vocals and some serious syncopated swing keep the pressure up and things moving fast, with barely any time to catch your breath. Going beyond mere imitation, Deft shows that the trick is to take inspiration and make it your own. The title track, Masquerade, continues this idea with a quick intro and a cinematic drop unleashing more swung out 160 action based around sweeping bass and throw back rave melodies. Switching things up halfway through Deft delivers a tough production that can sit proudly alongside the best recent examples of experiments in the genre from the likes of Om Unit, Mark Pritchard and label mate Krampfhaft. The old to the new, done in a way you’ve not heard before.

The EP closes with Dionysus Park, slowing things down by 30 odd bpm but keeping the pressure steady. A perfect way to wind down from the onslaught that came before, Dionysus Park shows Deft applying his dancefloor sensibilities to different styles without losing track of what makes his music undeniably unique – his fascination for carefully crafted frequencies and melodic detail standing out even more at slower tempos.

The Masquerade EP is a statement of intent from a young producer who has a lot to say, and knows exactly how to put it across. With previous productions and dubs already a staple in the DJ sets of people like LV, Om Unit and even Maya Jane Coles, the Masquerade EP will no doubt further cement Deft as one of London’s brightest dance music hopes. And as always with Rwina it’s all geared towards dancefloor mayhem of the highest quality.

Joy Orbison takes his time on RA.331, a slow churn of warm techno and subtly steppin' R&B-inflected house with heat that sneaks up on you. Self-referencing intro aside, it's about as easy-going a set as you'll get from one of underground dance music's biggest names. - RA

RA.348 is a live jam from the duo made up entirely of new and unreleased material, some of which is untitled at this point (hence the lack of a tracklist), some of which is due out soon on Tresor. In either case, it's killer.

"We take an unexpected turn for Token 29 and rerelease a forgotten gem by Mark Broom, techno’s most famous beardman. 'Two' is simply my favourite Broom track ever. Released over 10 years ago, this track never really got old. Instead, it aged with grace.
The track has now been remastered and is available again on a limited marbled vinyl. It will also be available digitally for the very first time.
Syntax created the perfect moody companion for the b-side.

I feel both proud & excited to add this seminal track to the Token catalogue." (quote Kr!z / A&R)
