La Freund Recordings presents a new EP from Amsterdam based producer and modular synth enthusiast Sjamsoedin. Three varied tracks and two heavy remixes by Simon Weiss (Rush Hour / Voyage Direct) and Claude (a.k.a. Fulgeance) form the new label’s second release.

Sjam Sjamsoedin has been around the electronic music scene for over fifteen years, releasing music under various aliases. Since 2011 Sjamsoedin has been experimenting with a deeper and warmer sound built around strong grooves, combined with his love for (modular) synths and effects. Orion is Sjamsoedin’s first full length EP under his own name.

While “The Drums” and “Pastel” find their inspiration in the Chicago house sound of the good old days, “Orion” has more of a lush electronica vibe to it. Both remixes add a heavier sound to complete the well rounded EP.

Loz Goddard is a Manchester based musician and DJ who has been producing records for the likes of Outplay, Razor-N-Tape, Quintessentials, Secret Reels and Large. When he isn't working on his own beats, Mr. Goddard runs one of the most underrated radio shows on the internet known as Downtown Groove Sessions, where he invites artists from near and far to share some of the most promising and upcoming deep house tracks on the horizon. Personally, his shows have played an integral role in exposing me to some of the best songs the underground has to offer and I could not be more appreciative.

We were lucky enough to interview Loz about a year and a half ago, in which he compiled a mix for us and taught us how to grow fine chilies. Since that time, Loz has taken a bit of a break from producing but appears to be getting back into the groove with his upcoming release Find Me on the prestigious imprint Church. Featuring a collection of three originals and a remix from the lads of Session Victim, we are definitely glad that he has finally got the juices flowing again. This occurrence may or may not be chili related.

For his title track, which we are premiering for you guys today, Loz puts together his own unique brand of melodic, deep house in which he pairs an eclectic mix of jazz instrumentation with rolling basslines and steadfast percussion - the likes of which resembles the work of contemporaries such as Laurence Guy. Arguably the most memorable and captivating feature of the song has to be the sampled vocal that is laid out throughout its entirety. Smokey and evocative, this mysterious voice will leave you feeling hot and bothered with its faint whispers imploring you to come find it. I don't know where this person is, but this song makes me want to start looking immediately.

PREMIERE: Goddard - Find Me

Shortly following the release of his latest 12" on La Freund Recordings, CLAUDE (aka Fulgeance) has graced us with this fantastic mix of uptempo grooves new and old, showcasing music he's made himself under various aliases as well as music by others. "Here are some new and classic tunes I've been playing this year. They're all big personal influences with weird uptempo beats with a lot of swing!"

Something aimed for the dancefloor while trying to retain my story telling style. The main melody is filled by a granular type of synth that I was really happy with, even though it doesn't always behave. I'm especially happy with how wide the bass sounds and how well the kick plays along with these elements.
 
Hope you enjoy.

We came across ‘Gaoulé Mizik’ through our friend Vincent, who, through his platforms 22tracks and Radioradio, is deeply rooted in the world music scene. He showed us the record and said this would do really well with a bit of Detroit Swindle flavour sprinkled over it. When we listened to the original, we immediately felt what our own version would sound like. The original track features the drums and chants, and is a Gwo Ka song from Guadeloupe. Since the record was only distributed in small amounts and came from a private press, it has not reached a lot of people. Versions of this record are rare on Discogs and unfortunately change hands for large sums of money, keeping the record in obscurity. This rework is our attempt to add an electronic twist to the track and bring that classic island folk music towards today’s clubs.

The original of Pastel was featured on my “Orion” EP, released in 2017 through Amsterdam based La Freund Recordings. Through the years it racked up more than 2 million streams on Spotify, which sparked the idea of creating a remix for it. 
I produced it in the previous weeks, for a large part in the Covid-19 induced quarantine so it seemed like a logical and nice gesture to give the track away during these weird and trying times.

Enjoy it, stay safe and look after eachother!
