Andy Ash has been quietly sneaking out seriously good analogue-driven electronic music on some of the best underground labels for over a decade. The Liverpool-based producer, DJ and visual artist has graced the likes of Chicago’s Stilove4music, NYC’s On The Prowl, Sydney’s People Must Jam and has remixed Fantastic Man for Detroit label Kolour LTD amongst many others. The bottom line is that he’s definitely one of the UK’s unsung heroes when it comes to deep, raw, Chicago and Detroit-influenced house music and Delusions of Grandeur is proud to welcome him with an amazing three tracker entitled the Bottleneck EP.

The title track opens with snappy hats, flappy congas and sloppy baseline all sitting perfectly in the mix and with a looseness that is much harder to achieve that it may seem. A simple synth melody doubles up the bassline while an extra square wave lead adds that little extra hook without distracting us from the bouncing groove. With Bottleneck, less is definitely more.

Flipping over we have Hump, an altogether darker affair with a twisting acid line joining distorted 808 drums and tripped-out snippets of spoken word coming in and out of focus. The low-slung bumpy groove and spacey synth parts make this a compelling warehouse track which will draw everyone into it’s seductive confines.

Closing the release we have Actual Price, a shuffling, deep groover with rumbling low end and machine-like analogue synth part skipping around the crunchy beats. A cerebral yet punchy and dynamic closer to an excellent release!

PREMIERE: Andy Ash - Hump

This Is Our Time is thrilled to announce its first international artist, Perdu from Amsterdam.
On his EP called 'Finding Life on Planet Rash' he launches us up to the stars with 'Sun Of Nahar' starting this mission with italo-propulsion. This sends us to a stratosphere high trajectory and lands us on 'Equalizing The Truth', an elusive jam with a toned-down bassline and otherworldly soundscapes. The triumphant cosmic house called 'Changing Worlds' leads the way on the B-side with rolling chimes and tribal-y percussion and our dancefloor exploration ends with 'Wrong Perception' a subtle and delicate track which is the deepest of all so it gives the space and time to just reflect. 
We were on board the first time we listened to these tracks so buy a ticket for the ride!

Perdu - Finding Life on Planet Rash (TIOT-004)

The electricity buzzed as it raced through the wire. It was the undercurrent of the city, the heartbeat of this place and the only thing which shone upon the dark and gloomy streets. The high line connected the people together, they held different views but were linked by the bubbling electricity which kept their homes warm and their lives entertained. Inside each room was a different story, a different character and a life. The towerblocks were full of people who declared differences yet lived the same. This was earth. 

Northworks is a mysterious unknown from the UK, an isolated figure who is set to release a new EP on Marlon Hoffstadt's record label Savour the Moment. The EP is a well packaged assortment of deep danceable material and is a promising showcase of talent from a new found source.

Label: DWRTW Records (https://soundcloud.com/dwrtwrecords)
Release date: August 1st, 2020
PRE-ORDER (from July 26.7.2020) : https://dwrtwrecords.bandcamp.com/album/dwrtw-002-aevasyon-no-sleep-ep (25% off until 31.7.2020 w/ code nosleep2020)
https://soundcloud.com/aevasyon

Digging into the deepest vibes of house music is Aevasyon’s favorite hobby. With various releases across different record labels, DWRTW RECORDS’s owner is delivering a subtle 2-track EP. 

When the first track Sleepless kicks off, melodic chords and punchy beats get you in the mood right from the start. A very nice blend of housy drums and chill instrumental surroundings help the track elevate to another level. When the bass kicks in, that’s the time to let go.

Last but not least, a track name couldn’t be as accurate than “Space Trip” to end up this EP. You feel energized by these sharpen chords, mellow pads, bouncy synths and leads that will kick you right in your ears to reach your final destination. In short, “No Sleep” can be a good ally for any DJ willing to make his crowd travelling while staying in a dark, underground club.

PREMIERE : Aevasyon - Space Trip

There were no indicators to reveal to him how high he’d been climbing. It felt like he was miles above the surface. Finally, the lift came to a stop. He was nauseated. The lift doors opened to display a long and wide metal surface that lay in front of him. Even though he’d been researching this world for years now, the architecture of the long-extinct inhabitants never ceased to amaze him. A thick mist weightlessly surrounded him as he moved towards the center of the platform. He reached out and placed his hand on the control module. There was a moment of silence and uncertainty before a rumbling, foreign spacecraft materialized right in front of him. 

Maarten Smeets, also known as one half of the prolific duo Detroit Swindle, has a new solo project on his hands. Assuming the alter-ego, Wanderist, he delivers his own abstract take on contemporary electronic music, with influences from dub, electro, techno and ambient. This first new release comes via AUSMUSIC, but he’s also started his own label, Transient Nature demonstrating there’s much to come from Wanderist.

PREMIERE: Wanderist - 9005 [Aus Music]

Kisk - Jazzyness
Release Date: 5 october 2020

Format: digital & CD

It’s with great pleasure that we announce Kisk’s first LP in a long time, titled ‘Jazzyness’, which perfectly represents his free spirit as a producer. Jazzyness is a carefree miscellaneous of Jazzy sounds and virtuosities and it’s a flawless portrait of his way of thinking music. Every track of the LP is a journey through Kisk’s musical mind and a perfect display of his influences: great taste for sampling and a relentless will to find the perfect groove. The result is a rhythmically fulfilling work decorated by masterly written harmonies and tied together by his simple yet striking approach to production. But most importantly, ‘Jazzyness’ is uncompromising being exactly as it’s supposed to be for his creator; it’s Kisk speaking his peculiar dialect through his sounds. The eleventrack album, mastered on tape by Lopazz, is a real House music research featuring dancefloor bangers, Tribal and Ambient journeys, funky visions and some Brokenbeats too (one of the producer’s first loves). The release dateis the 5th of October 2020 and we can’t wait to make you hear it.(Artwork by Nina D’Alessandro).

PREMIERE : Kisk - African Dream

It were as if he was upside down, looking dizzily back at the world in a new way which made little sense and that he didn't understand. The sky was not above but down below and waters were hanging thick where it might have been. The ground upon which he walked was wobbly and uneven, yet there was something quite freeing and ethereal in the reversal. Things began to make sense that hadn't necessarily before, ideas and consciousness flowed with an elegant ease and he began to see things differently. Perhaps those hanging waters were a welcome omen after all. 

Ben & Dylan are a duo from Portland with a bright future, their new EP for waterworks channels elements of house but is underpinned with the melodic elegance and precision associated with producers and musicians with great experience. It's promising, hopeful stuff..
