"London-based musician and producer Russ Davies has been gracing our ears with delicious, lush synthwave for several years now. He’s been busy releasing music under both the monikers Abakus and Cinnamon Chasers, all while touring extensively. The projects do sound similar to where you know it’s the same person, but there’s a sense of emotion that gets captured by Cinnamon Chasers that Abakus doesn’t tap in to. Davies has mentioned childhood fantasy tales like The Neverending Story as inspiration for the project, so maybe it’s that innocence that I’m hearing.

As Cinnamon Chasers, Davies is gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated fourth studio album Great Escape next week. I personally think that this is the most polished and cohesive Cinnamon Chasers album to date. Davies created the album “referencing his past, present, and visions of the future.” Within the music, you can hear all the ups and downs that come when thinking about the timescale of life and it's made for the most pleasant listening experience.

Moments on the album sound assertive and positive, while other points feel uncertain and weary. Some tracks give off a bittersweet air, but the whole album gives off this dreamy, almost nostalgic sensation. It really feels like the listener is being taken on a journey through different points in life. 

The album starts off with a synth heavy opener called “Superwave,” introducing the listener to Cinnamon Chasers’ style of 70s and 80s-influenced electronic pop. It gives off this Giorgio Moroder cinematic vibe, which leads us into the album’s titular track “Great Escape.” This is one of my favorite tracks on the album. The way the synths swirl around with a shoegazing, new wave flair makes for a stunning soundscape complete with lush beats and echoing vocals.

Contrasting the lighter, more upbeat moments in the album are these dark and moody points that give Cinnamon Chasers an end result that sounds somewhat like Norwegian duo Röyksopp or a cinematic Daft Punk. “Screamout” has the best example of that similar brooding, billowing orchestral production style, but I could totally see Röyksopp releasing something on the lighter side like “Together.” It’s a track that's mildly dark, but you can see the light in the soft marching beat and ethereal female vocals.

Check out the entire Great Escape album below exclusively from EARMILK, and enjoy the magic carpet ride through these synthy soundscapes that Cinnamon Chasers has created. The album is available now for pre-order ahead of its March 2nd release date on Davies's own label Modus Recordings. Look for it from digital sources like iTunes and Spotify on release day.

A producer that's managed to repeatedly capture the ears of some of the most influential tastemakers & authorities within Dance music over the past few years, Matt Fax's unique consistency shines as a rare modern trait in an ever-reliable producer. Impressive as this is, at just 19, Matt Fax's potential knows no bounds. With accolades from major international press, DJs, streaming playlisters & radio curators constantly racking up, Matt takes the next step in his incredible journey with his debut album, 'Contrast'.

With the exception of previously released singles 'Amnesiac', 'Close 2 U' & the BBC Radio 1 supported 'Aura Lusia', Matt Fax's first ever LP sees a collection of completely unheard & forward-thinking productions collated over the past 2 years. Remaining distinctly Matt Fax - 'Contrast' effortlessly flows through seamless peaks & troughs firmly seated in Matt Fax's Progressive roots.

From the atmospheric & experimental like opener 'Aeolis Mons I', 'Kinetic' & 'Landside' to more familiar driving Progressive House works like the engrossing 'Synopia' & 'Amnesiac', where Matt's club-oriented prowess particularly stands out, 'Contrast' delivers a truly diverse collection of technically brilliant, authentic Matt Fax productions.

Also featuring an impressive collection of vocal collaborators in a host of exceptionally distinctive tracks; Krysta Youngs stars in the infectious 'The Chase', Tania Zygar's mesmerising vocals feature on the euphoric 'Everything' whilst Canadian songstress Laurell delivers a stunning topline over the airy 'Hide'.

Closing with the sensationally crisp 'Firelight/Shadow Camp', 'Contrast' ends with an undeniable air of optimism whilst raising the curtain on the next stage of Matt Fax's inspiring rise.

_____________________________________________________________

'LANDLOPER' is Little People’s first release since 2015, where he returns with an album that is both beautiful and complex – much like the journey it took to release it.

In 2014, Laurent Clerc – aka Little People – decided to move to Portland, OR to allow himself to concentrate on writing new music. Laurent spent a fruitful year in Oregon, drawing inspiration from the wild beauty of the Pacific North West. Shortly after his move, a new EP and a successful 6-week North American tour opening for Odesza followed. It’s around this time that the first sketches of 'LANDLOPER' started to take shape.

For Laurent making music is all about the process – each sound used on his latest album were created with a technical idea in mind. Either with a modular synthesizer or using digital means, Laurent draws inspiration from the set of tools at his disposal. Electronic music is a giant playground to explore and tinker with. The new album has a warmth and lofi aesthetic that is at odds with Laurent’s meticulous nature – but everything has been crafted to be deliberately just so. Constantly looking to add imperfections to beautiful sounds – rendering them more abrasive and alive. There are contrasts between the lush string quartet arrangements and off kilter angular beats, with subtle details in each track which co-exist alongside broader melodic themes. The music on 'LANDLOPER' travels through a number of sonic palettes, borrowing elements from different sub-genres to eventually form a cohesive whole.

Laurent worked with a number of collaborators this time round – expanding beyond just instrumental works. Whilst in Portland he worked with Reva Devito (HW&W Recordings) whose vocals were chopped and re-purposed – providing a vocal thread throughout the whole album. Laurent also collaborated with Rahel Debebe-Dessalegne (Hejira, Matthew Herbert, Floating Points) making up three key songs on the album. The lead single track Skies Turn Blue which features Tif Lamson (GIVERS) was an effortless collaboration between 2 very different artists.
