Shades of Sound Releases

Original Tracks

Vinyl & Digital available at Bandcamp only: https://joemorrismusic.bandcamp.com/album/exotic-language

It’s ten years since Joe Morris enjoyed his first release of original music. In the ensuing decade Joe has sharpened his skills indelibly, gaining a reputation with an ear for music with depth, emotion and feeling. Fitting then his tenth year in the studio sees him release his debut album. Designed as a 360 degree view of his kaleidoscopic musical palette, 'Exotic Language’ is a nine song opus taking in deep house, new age, ambient and afro textures.
Opener ‘Firefly Island’ is a horizontal mood setter, washing over you with its gorgeous soundscapes. ‘Perfume’ sees a delightful collaboration with Private Agenda who lend their unique, dreamy vocals. ‘A Dance With Jupiter’ takes inspiration from classic Chicago house music while ‘Echo Station’ is an experiment in Dub. Things get spacey and ethereal on ‘Celestial Plantation’, ‘Dream Clouds’ is an ode to early Italian deep house. ‘Acid Safari’ is a wigged out slow burner and ‘Spirit Walker’ takes inspiration from Larry Heard and afro house. Final track ‘Milo’s Theme’ is a bitter sweet closer to the album, with a guest appearance by Joe’s nine month old son.

best.

Lovely this , first heard the tracks when Joe first shared them , glad he was
persuaded to do a vinyl release , the track with Private Agenda is pure summer
bliss. There’s plenty on here for me for Radio and DJing would love a copy to
share the joy
BOBBY BEIGE/ THE GARDEN ZADAR
This is really lovely,well crafted piece of work and very well produced from Joe

Lounge in Croatia from now till the end of summer. Stand out tracks for me on
first listen Acid Safari,Dream Clouds and Milos Theme but overall all good,great
album!

Teen Daze flips the energy of the original to a languid pace for a more poolside atmosphere. Cool electric keys and sparkling chords add a dreamy, hazy quality to the music. Embracing the dream house aesthetic of the original, the Desert Island Disco version offers up a breezy house vibe that moves with an energetic pace, introducing cool piano hooks and breathy vocals. Pleasure Voyage take a nostalgic turn, transporting us back to the heady days of Rimini with a fun italo-house rework packed with irresistible grooves.

These tracks were written and produced over the last week; a most unusally quick turnaround for me :) It seems isolation has caused a burst of creativity. The current lockdown also affected the feel of the music; these two tracks are quite sombre in tone but with a note of positivity running through them, hence the titles. Anyway, hope you like the music.

Much love and keep safe x

Joe Morris has been involved in the underground music scene for over twenty years. While not pinned to one particular sound, Joe’s inimitable style has taken him to perform in New York, Moscow, Paris, Milan, Ibiza, Geneva, Barcelona, Berlin, Hanoi and all over the UK using his vast experience to expertly craft emotive atmospheres from chill out scenarios to dance-floor energy. Crystalizing this ethos into his productions Joe has enjoyed a string of well received releases on a myriad of diverse record labels. It's an intoxicating cocktail that has seen him gig around the world and back again; from smoke filled basements to festival stages and all points between. Joe strives to leave no stone unturned in his search for the perfect beat through his Shades Of Sound record label and radio shows.
