Shall Not Fade EPs

📀  https://sq.lnk.to/SNF057A

The last track from my Shall Not Fade EP is out today! Definitely the moodiest of the three. 2020 (and seemingly 2021) didn't offer much, if anything in terms of certainty for anyone and I found myself pretty frozen in any and all decisions, even down to little things like what to watch or eat etc. I'm sure a lot of you had similar experiences, hopefully things are looking up now ❤️ Hope you enjoy the music xxx

============================

Laurence Guy returns to Shall Not Fade with his much-anticipated third EP, adding to last year’s massively successful ‘The Sun Is Warm and Directly Above You’ and ‘Your Good Times Will Come’. The London-based producer has amassed a global audience of listeners, all united in their appreciation for his luscious, upbeat house music and an outstanding discography of releases via imprints like: Ninja Tune, Late Night Tales, Studio Barnhus and Mule Musique.

While still unmistakably Laurence Guy’s signature style of delicately constructed, sample-heavy dance music, this EP carries a sombre note, reflective of the confusing times in which it was made. The A-side’s ‘Love Theme For The Morning After’ maintains a positive and danceable atmosphere, an ode to the moments of clarity and contentment we grasp in the afterglow. Musically, it is an ecstatic build-up of chords that leave you breathless, with a rhythm that pulses as consistently as a heartbeat throughout.  
By comparison to this joyfully glittering track, the B-side deals with more difficult emotions. Throughout ‘Mutual Excitement’, barely distinguishable vocal samples overlap each other in a hazy clamour, whilst natural keys play a bittersweet melody, pondering the uncertainty of a new relationship. Guy says of the final track, ‘Certain (To A Certain Extent)’ “2020 was a hard year to be certain of anything, I found myself frozen in pretty much every decision I had to make”. The song, a stripped-back melody built from a low fidelity jazz sound palette, is not just an exploration of the sense of uncertainty 2020 gave us, but expresses Guy’s acceptance of living without certainty. This soothing message is at the core of the EP, managing to create a sense of hope during an unsettled time.

MY HEART STILL LEANS ON YOU is out today! This is the second single from me and my buddy Miller Blue on Shall Not Fade ❤️  I’m really proud of this one as I feel it’s a marriage of the kinda classic LG sound with Millers beautiful writing/vocals, which came together over a four day studio trip in Tetbury (shouts as always to Matt Karmil for engineering this) Miller has such a knack for writing relatable lyrics in his songs and this is a perfect example. I’m happy to be making more “involved” records in recent times and need to big up Shall Not Fade for supporting! I hope you enjoy the music x

So hyped to release a tune I made with one of my best mates J.Peacock today! This one was made after a pretty long break from making music as I got a bit lost in what I wanted to do and overthinking shit. Me and Joel got together for a late night studio session one Friday with a bunch of samples (from his Dad’s killer 7” sou collection) and a load of beers and went IN. Tom Pardy made an appearance at some point also (shout out Tom). In the morning the project was pretty messy, but we sorted that on the next session and here we are. This night in the studio basically instigated me writing the rest of the EP over the next week or so (more on these later).  As always, hope you’re into it, let me know what you think. Shout out Shall Not Fade for releasing and Matt Karmil as always for the killer mixdowns, BYE x

Martin Ikin - Back In Time

Music’s power is in creating community, and this is the essence of Laurence Guy’s work. The London-based DJ and producer’s motto is ‘music to make you feel feelings’: whether that’s comfort, nostalgia, bittersweetness or melancholy. His sound has an unmistakable warmth while being squarely aimed at the dancefloor: samples fit into sprawling keys, and dusty drums thud under lush chords. Amid a string of EPs, Guy has released two acclaimed albums; 2017’s blissful house LP Saw You For The First Time and 2023’s Living Like There’s No Tomorrow, But Killing Yourself In The Process, gracing labels including Studio Barnhus, Ninja Tune, Shall Not Fade and more, now signed to Future Classic. He’s now armed with a stash of hip hop and filter house influenced dance tracks, like the Jamie xx-tipped ‘Hey Baby’ and the groove-laden ‘Most Perfect People (Are Mostly Not Perfect)’ that are already soundtracking people’s best life moments.
