Forgiven

B) Forgiven (Edward Remix)

System 7 & A Guy Called Gerald - Positive Noise (original club mix)

Distant Hawaii kicks into gear for the second half of 2016 with our first Transatlantic artist joining in the shape of immense production and DJ talent, Garrett David. 

Already a prominent figure in the Windy City scene via his residency at Smart Bar and working as A&R and in-house buyer at Gramaphone Records; Garrett's talents extend even further, right back to the lab, to the deep studio from whence all music grows. 

His Chicago-tinged-with-Detroit blend of clean, yet warm and occasionally raw bumpin' house tracks showcase a kaleidoscope of grooves backed by heavy-seated drum programming and glacial, almost-interspatial padwork. 

'Octagon Blues' is built on a bedrock of steadily ascending Juno throbs, that climb higher and higher over skittering, pebble-dashed percussion and bristle with high end synth-whistling by the close. 

'Power Up' shifts up the tempo and velocity with a proper kickin' fast groove and undulating Omar S-esque bass-line sequences aimed squarely at the heart of the Sunday night dance. 

Flipping over the 12", 'Remedy' comes glowing into life through soft pad caressing and a steady 5am melancholia bass-line. Touches of a light rain smack the windshield, preceding a wonky and portamento'd melodic surprise. The shyer, mysterious cousin of 'Power Up'. 

The closer, but this easily could have been the opener, 'Healing Channel' is exactly that. An instant transportation to a sole experience in the flotation tank. An isolated yet comforting zone of inner peace, only broken by a steady live drum groove, peppered with delay from the inner walls of the listeners water-based sanctuary.

Henrik Schwarz'first work for Running Back and concurrent solo piece since 2013 is a prime example of the man's uncanny production abilities. Recent years saw Schwarz more and more gravitating towards the intersections between electronic music and jazz, classical compositions or african sounds than serving the weekly bread and butter at clubland's busy buffet car. Now, Not Also You is a return to exactly that honourable craft and service. Built around an imagined and imaginary curtain lecture from a saint to a sinner and housed in one of Henrik's “most techno” looking robes as of yet, it's a no-brainer or shall we dare say a reaper of a track – without frills but with a Fata Morgana like rave signal. Oh, there is a dub for snobs (Not You Also), too. Peak time, high time, any time. Nice sleeve on top.

Last month we came at you with with the new 12” and video from DUST called ‘Past Future’ - A Dark Tale of Disco Disquietude. Now DUST, from deep in the heart of Bushwick, is back with a cover version of original Chicago Acid House classic ‘Your Only Friend’ by Phuture (DJ Pierre). ‘Only Friend’ was originally the b-side to the first ever Acid House record ‘Acid Tracks’. 25 years later DUST does their take, most respectfully, but twisted none the less.
