Throwing Snow - Clasp

London based migrant Throwing Snow makes tracks to melt into. Following his compelling 2010 debut on Alexander Nut’s Ho_Tep imprint and remixes for the likes of Gold Panda and Glasser he returns to Super with emerging vocal talent Py.

Wallow is at the same time sultry, shadowy and glistening. Throwing Snow displays effortless finesse as Py’s raw, soulful delivery adds emotion. Py is joined by the captivating Russell Morgan on The Shadows I Make, an affecting arrangement built around the pairs’ contrasting vocal styles whilst As The Rain Spits sees Py’s vocal chopped and screwed for a proper drum machine workout.

The release is completed by remixes from Lapalux, PhOtOmachine and Raffertie. Lapalux is in full effect, his beat collage blurring the line between digital precision and analogue warmth. Brixton based PhOtOmachine blends subtle elements of the original into a bumping house version as label head Raffertie brings Py’s vocal to the fore, illuminating her enchanting performance.

Mixtape released 21/05/2012

“Oozing elegance and class over creeping, precarious beats, Py is one to watch out for’’- Abeano

“The enchanting quality of her voice emanates effortless cool with an almost childlike ease’’ - Electronic Beats

Of all the new acts to have emerged so far in 2012, Jade Pybus aka Py is definitely one of the most interesting, her astounding voice matched only by the calibre of producers, such as Breton, Lapalux, George Fitzgerald, Raffertie and Greenwood Sharps that she has been working with.

Ready to step into the spotlight Py is now releasing ‘Tripping On Wisdom’, a mixtape featuring her collaborations with the aforementioned names alongside Caspar Kedros who helped to mix the collection of tracks with Py. 

 ‘Working with these amazing producers has allowed me to create everything in a varied mix of genre, covering songs that have always been important to me. I wanted this mixtape to be from a vocalists perspective, lead by the voice.” Explains Py. 

“It’s a story of the memories and nostalgia of my past, feelings and situations I have dealt with, and that bittersweet feeling from leaving one place, letting go and moving into another time.”

Despite only a handful of live shows as Py, she is preparing to play her biggest live show to date supporting Belleruche at The Scala on 31st May after headlining Yo Yo for the ‘Tripping On Wisdom’ mixtape launch on 24th May. The perfect snapshot of an artist at the start of their career, brimming with creativity and inspiration, ‘Tripping On Wisdom’ hails the arrival of a singular talent.

‘Py shows massive promise’ – Q Magazine

After releasing her astounding mixtape ‘Tripping On Wisdom’ which featured collaborations with the likes of George Fitzgerald, Throwing Snow, Breton and Raffertie last year, Py returns with the long-awaited follow up, ‘Polyethers’, produced by Maths Time Joy and released via Champion Records on 30th June. 

A song about being so in tune with someone you love you ride the same emotional cycle together through romance and nostalgia via the testing times, ‘Polyethers’ marks the next natural musical step for Py. Showcasing her vocal depth and tone, ‘Polyethers’ is an epic love song, complete with soul-tinged harmonies; both emotionally grand and understated in all its bittersweet subtleties. 

Fresh from his groundbreaking Jamie Lidell remix, from Berlin based DJ/ Producer Jimmy Edgar (Warp/!k7/Hotflush) on the flip, Py has effortlessly managed to retain her contemporary electronic sound and clear artistic vision, rooted deep through ‘Tripping On Wisdom’, whilst simultaneously showcasing her impressively versatile, pop-spattered voice. 

Since completing a debut headline UK tour late last year as well as support for the likes of Fenech Soler on their the recent sold-out tour, Py has developed a full live show in the past few months. 

With support as diverse as Radio 1’s Rob Da Bank, Mixmag, Dazed & Confused, FACT and The Guardian and with further releases to drop on Champion, as well as forthcoming live dates and collaborations with Supreme Cuts through the latter half of 2013, Py is one artist set to stick around for a long time yet. Make sure you also watch out for her Red Bull Introducing session set to drop in late May.
