The study of the basics of cytology and genetics is difficult to conduct without a diligent attitude to details and increased energy consumption. Tired of the biomechanics of blood circulation, Cat shifted the focus of attention to relaxation. With each passing second, his eyelids grew heavier and speech got slower, acquiring an ever more fragmented and distant color.

The borderline state inevitably led one deep into oneself — into the directory of log files with descriptions of favorite objects and events, incoherently hinting at the tricks of the subconscious. A single stream of propofol whirls pulled into the realm of Morpheus, while the floating visualizations bribed with their realism. A painfully familiar image with the outlines of curls and dark frames appeared literally out of nothing:
— Hey, buddy, can we watch your dream together?
— Just a glimpse, there is not so much time…

Black Light Smoke is the electronic music moniker of Jordan Lieb - producer, songwriter, and award winning film and TV composer. A Chicago native, Jordan transplanted to New York City in 2001, where his career as a multi-disciplined musician has taken flight in many forms.

Currently residing in upstate New York, Black Light Smoke returns to Scissor and Thread for his first full length debut-album: Ghosts.

The 12 tracks (plus three digital bonus tracks) span everything from 90s house, smooth and deep soulful beats, dusty grooves and thoughtful treaties on the state of creativity, capitalism and identity.

It’s a collection that sits together as a listening experience perfectly, building peaks and sliding into serene troughs, all with a strong sense of radical thought and creative experimentation. Tracks bend and warp in unexpected directions, while gritty, distortion and overdrive counterpoint classic rave stabs and vocal samples. Taken as a whole, the album could be the soundtrack to a night drive through the city, as much as certain tracks will no doubt find themselves woven into the sets of the more leftfield and genre pushing DJs. Either way, it’s an essential release from one of the most exciting and vital producers out there and the first artist signed to Scissor and Thread back in 2011.

The album title, Ghosts, tells two stories. One is personal - an artist embracing the shadows of his past in order to move forward and complete a body of work. The second story is a search for the original meaning of house music - not just the usual sample, appropriation or casual nod to the originators of house - but a meditation on the living story of Black America in which house music is an inseparable chapter. Both stories are a reflection on grief and the transformation of trauma into celebration.

100% of Jordan Lieb’s personal proceeds from this record will go to Little Bit Foundation, empowering students living in poverty to achieve their academic goals.

After Kollaps-Reason (Mellon Place Records)

A very special partnership indeed occured between NYC‘s Adultnapper and London‘s legendary Mr.C. Entwined in a musical romance that spans the great continents, Sycophant Slags is the outcome of this very special twinning of minds, and ‚Keep Off‘ their latest gift to the world! The release comes complete with 2 huge remixes from Reboot and The Wighnomy Brothers. Prepare for a monster 12‘‘.

In its original version ‚Keep Off‘ is a tricky, trippy slice of modern underground house. Tight, clean and superbly produced, the track becomes a vessel for the catchy vocals of Mr.C, who‘s unique flow and ‚Sky‘s The Limit‘ refrain lift the track into a stand out cut operating on its own higher level. Clearly a serious bomb from these two, we‘re sure this will be the anthem of many a long night - Sycophant Slags are here and there‘s no point in trying to hide!

German hero of our times Reboot re-interprets the track into a brooding, crunchy builder. Trademark Reboot percussion and intricate, loose and inspired phrasing steps this track up into a different groove with its freaky-funky swirling undertones. Its a heavy cut to say the least, and we‘re sure this latest slice of Reboot magic will keep you converted.

Also a couple of long-serving and legendary figures, the Wighnomy Brothers shake up the original into a dark, heavy and brooding minimal funk monster. Full of clever edits, cuts and fx, its a true ode to the brothers talents in the studio. Their ‚Detroittobrieflysort-ulle Remix‘ is really its own beast - making great use of Mr C‘s vocals yet adding their own narrative of freaked out horn sounds, pianos and pumping club ready beats.
