Bobby Draino & D. Tiffany - Arctic Travel 12" (NRML018)

Following an incredible sophomore album for Mörk and a stunning self-released white label, Grant graduates to the Lobster Theremin main label with a full EP proper of signature studio deep house.

Refined song-writing, valve warmth, studio air and dusty edges, Grant's production style has taken on a life of it's own as he's progressed from early split EPs on The Lauren Bacall to entering the Lobster fray. His influences, also showcased via his Temporary State label, are worn on his sleeve albeit with a unique sonic quality and structured tension & release that is mastered by so few over such a lulling, woozy template of sound.

'Feeling' makes a double appearance, as a huge Vocal Mix A1 track on the vinyl and as a digital extra in it's Dub form. The vocal soaring and crying over a rolling, liquid deep house underlay. Summer's back and Grant is sounding the horn.

'Values' is crusted house-techno deepness. Filtered hats shift like fragmented sand over resonant kicks and delay-peppered stabs. A subtle banger recorded under the carpet.

Flipping over, 'The Depth' is as classic as they come. Detroit chords ride over swung live drum fills, mirror-reflected sunlight synths entering the room at the two minute mark, and a soft, slap-back spoken word crooning in and around to keep the mid tones happy. Proper day-dreams house music.

The B2 is often the low key wonder and 'No Lights' is that taken to the limit. Drenched, blue-toned, easy rolling house for the late night. Swimming in the darkness, absorbed by the midnight air.

We're very excited to welcome another new addition to the growing Lima Express family with Carli's ‘Porta Dream’! A fellow Swede involved in numerous musical projects across different genres including Swedish / South African group Off The Meds as well as duo Savage Skulls, Carli is as prolific as it gets. In addition to his artist projects, he has also produced for names such as Robyn, Galantis, Rebecca & Fiona, Crookers & more. 
‘Porta Dream’ is fluffy tune full of energy. It sounds both old & new at the same time & is primed for the dancefloor. With dreamy horns & airy synths, ‘Porta Dream’ is the kind of song you want to hear in a dark room full of fog when the world just melts away & there’s nothing to distract from the moment.

@matt-whitehead serves up a hot slab of acid house goodness that is as authentically '80s as you can possibly get. It's easy to make a passable acid track, but to create something with such groove, hookiness and brilliantly honed reverence is much harder. Part of Balkan Vinyl's  'Mutant Acid City 5' sampler.

2020 was a big year for dj poolboi (AKA Adam Ansley); his debut LP ‘it’s good to hear your voice’ and a remix for Moby amongst his achievements - now the Austin native has turned his mind to the UK with a shimmering four-track release on Shall Not Fade. ‘rarities ep’ is the premiere release in a new series, Classic Cuts, which focuses on feel-good sounds of all styles, with a nostalgic edge. 

Ansley describes his sound as “music to skate to” and rarities has some of that languid summertime feel to it, but has a vibe that brings to mind a boat party on some sun-baked French coastline more than a skatepark. It opens with ‘Ghosts’; a track as melancholic as the title. Touched with faint vinyl crackle, lingering keys draw you into a driving house beat that is danceable despite its haunting air. Where ‘Ghosts’ has you slowly swaying to the beat, beer in hand, ‘Tu Tienes Mi Corazon’ is a hands-in-the-air banger - all subtle bassline and slow natural breaks. Saxophone melts in and out of the background and the A-side fades away into birdsong. On the B-side, ‘Elope’ leans into the summery day-party energy replete with syncopated organic percussion; it’s a track that ebbs and flows wonderfully. Closing out the record, ‘Before You Go’  is the most “electronic” piece, a nod to electro that forefronts the earworm bassline. The EP is a balm for the soul that is made for the festival season.

dj poolboi ‘Rarities’ EP drops February 19th via Shall Not Fade.
