James Welsh – S EP 
HYPEDIGI033

1. Sky
2. Sent
3. Steak
4. Strong

Release date: 14/10/13

The multi-talented James Welsh rocks up to Hypercolour with this heavyweight four track EP.  As one half of Ocelot Mthrfckers (signed to Wall Of Sound at the tender age of 17) and engineer for the last Reverend & The Makers long player, Welsh has been spreading his musical wings further with recent releases on Join The Dots, Wolf Music, Futureboogie and Hypercolour’s own Losing Suki offshoot.

‘Sky’ is legit late night house action, with somber pianos and dubbed out vocals, whilst  ‘Sent’ presents another choice vocal over a tight and skippy production.  ‘Steak’ ramps up the energy levels, choppy vox and relentless rides, real peak time tackle here, and wrapping up the package is another vocal cut ‘Strong’, a crunchy and distorted house cut, Welsh getting busy on the analogue keys whilst the excellent vocal floats over the solid production.

A varied and consistent from James Welsh on the ‘S’ EP, see what we did there?

Although now relocated from his native Yorkshire to his new home of Majorca, James Welsh continues to be one of the most captivating producers in UK house music. Taking in true deep and tech, acid, techno and soulful strands, his impressively varied productions impress whatever flavour he plumbs for. He's graced many of the UK's finest imprints in just a few years, from Hypercolour to Futureboogie to Wolf, labels snapping his hands off to get his tracks into their catalogues. His mix is full of energy and life, a snapshot of his career to date with a quick look ahead to the future woven in.

*How would you describe your sound?*
I would describe my sound as music that can hopefully be enjoyed out of the club as well as in dark rooms at 3 AM.

*What and who inspires you and influences your sound?*
My friends and family inspire me. I'm happiest when my friends like my
music.

*Can you tell us a little about this mix and what it means to you?*
This mix goes back 3 years to my first release, covering some releases and
remixes in between and up to my next release which is out this month. It could
be considered the 'end of an era' as all these tracks were conceived in West Yorkshire and I'm now living in sunny Mallorca.

Join The Dots // DOT013
James Welsh 'The Way EP'

Tracklist

- The Way
- Walk
- Hold

Order here - http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/474002-01.htm

Unlucky for some but not it seems you or us, DOT013 comes comprised of a hat trick of deep and sultry, some would say R’n’B flavoured slow jams, made for those sexier evenings when you feel the urge to want to nod your head, wine your body and give those hips something of a work out as opposed to just pointing haphazardly to the sky whilst hopping between legs and occasionally pulling your best “ooooh listen to that bass line” face. Though those evenings clearly have their place as well.

James Welsh has, it must be said, lived quite the life already, from touring with post-punk outfit The Rise, riding BMX in Texas or remixing everyone from Britney Spears to Depeche Mode or DJ-ing around the world as part of Ocelot, a key player in that whole blog house scene from a few years back. Basically the boy has been there and done it, he didn’t even buy the t-shirt, he designed it and then sold it back to you and your folks for a massive profit. We said it was R’n’B flavoured and R’n’B flavoured it is. The Way sounds like James got locked in a basement with Baby Face, Brandy, Monica, Jodeci and Montell Jordan and was forced at gun point to make a track that could be played in those sexy nightclubs that all the ghetto stars go to, where they spray Cristal over each other then have a fight and post a twitter picture of their war wounds. Fighting and champagne spraying is optional though sexy dutty-wine dancing is not.

If we had to classify one of these tracks as ‘the peak time one’ then Walk would be it, now our mum always told us to walk before we run and we don’t like classifying things too much so let’s just say that if you want to make loads of people jack, but in more of a sexy way as opposed to that frantic jerking shenanigans they used to do back in the early nineties that was recorded on beta-max then this is the track to employ. It’s low-slung and sultry, jacking house music, which means ladies like it too.

Hold should perhaps be named Hold Tight, as in “you’d better strap yourself in and hold on mate”. But it isn’t. If you like your music slowed down with enough low end to dislodge your undercarriage then this is the track for you. It’s got some spoken word vocal on it and some chanting that crops up from time to time but the rest just kick-drum and bass, loads of loverly, slow, elongated bass. It sounds more like you are in the jungle than in a night club, so more Greystoke than Grey Goose.
