Undisclosed Greek Island Vibe

tunes

Deciduous are back just in time for festival season, releasing their latest remix, a complete reconstruction of the Hot Since 82 track ‘Buggin', which is available as a free download.

Paulo and Ryan, the two components of the Deciduous project spoke to Four Four contributor Dylan Moore about their process in the remix, inspiration behind it and their plans for the summer. 

Having the stems to work with allowed the duo to completely rework a tune they both loved: “We've always been fans of the original track and played it a lot in 2018. It was an interesting process to try take a track, which we hold in such high regard and put our own spin on it.” 

Deciduous are one of the small number of Irish producers working in the melodic and progressive house/techno genre.  With such a small community of artists in Ireland the success has been fantastic, getting support from international producers.

"We chopped nearly all the stems and added a bit of our own touch with piano and brass synths to rearrange the track into a more chilled out melodic vibe. We have had support on the track from a number of artists - Adriatique, Fideles, Massano to name a few,” Paulo explained.

When asked what they have been up to in the lead up to this release, Ryan described that they have been focusing solely on productions instead of gigs. “This has led us to have a pretty exciting release schedule for the summer/autumn months with releases coming on Future Romance (vinyl) and Ampers&, OC&Verde's new imprint which is one we targeted earlier this year,” he described.

They will be making their first appearance of the summer next week at Life Fest which they are no strangers to, having played the District 8 stage previously. In June, they will be appearing in the Cellar in Dublin, and they are hoping to secure their first international show at the end of the summer.

Keep your eyes peeled for more releases over the summer, but until then, enjoy their Floatation Mix of the Hot Since 82 track, ‘Buggin’, which the lads have kindly given to us as a free download.

Four Four Premiere: Hot Since 82 - Buggin' [Deciduous Floatation Mix - Free Download]

Three stellar remixes of Aussie hotshot Jerk Boy's recent collaboration with Chicago house legend Mike Dunn to cover a range of tastes, needs and urges. Watergate resident Kristin Velvet channels Mike Dunn's tracky, heads-down roots with her stripped-back version, where old skool drum machine pressure meets throbbing bass and Dunn's moody vocals are left plenty of space to breathe. Ben Gomori channels early MJ Cole productions on his Keep It 4x4 Remix, with clipped, heavily swinging drums laced with boomy sub bass, quivvering synth chords and cute clavichord motifs. Dutch master T.U.R.F. continue their fine run of form on their joyous disco house re-rub, cramming oodles of funk and soul into their cut-up groove.

"The Time Is (Now) was written during an artist studio residency in the north of Montreal. It was Fall 2021, and after a quick moment of hope and few travels during that summer, we were back in the dark with no opening of clubs in sight and still in this heavy pandemic vibe.

This residency was a way for me to take control of what I could still control, productivity and creativity, instead of giving into dark thoughts and inertia. Armed with 2 synths (Prophet 6, Moog Grandmother) and computer, my goal was to write 1 track per day, no judgement. After 2 weeks, I realized I had a good base for my next album (more on that later) but I also had a few tracks that I thought could co-habitate on a dancefloor driven EP.
The title track was a tricky one. I worked on something all day and felt I wasn’t getting any breakthrough. After dinner, I went back to the studio and suddenly, something happened.

The track is based around this heavy disco beat and the 2 bass lines working together. The spoken word refers to this sense of urgency of trying to grab the bull by the horn. There’s a sense of darkness in it, but also hope. Especially at that mid part when the Rhodes come in to tell us everything is going to be alright. I guess this is something I always try to have in my music — A moment of hope/light. When I got back home, I replayed a few things on my instruments at home to make it sound more live and asked Laroye, a french producer living in the UK, to redo the percussion parts. The Dub and Reprise came naturally after that.

L’Horizon was an easier process, and I tried to fight the instinct of changing it too much when I got home to keep the vibe intact. It certainly doesn’t reinvent the wheel but it has a sort of classic charm, remininscent of late 90s Parisian House and also some of the music I made around the early 2000s. Big organ stabs and bass line, It’s full of clichés and I decided to run with it. Paintings closes things off with a more introspective vibe. Based around a chord memory progression from my Prophet, and a trusty conforting Moog square bass line, mixed in with some dreamy gospel like chants and textures. My version of an abstract painting."

Fred Everything "The Time Is (Now)" EP

PREMIERE: Fred Everything - The Time Is (Dub)

'Geodesis' is out now'. 
Interdépendence EP out 6th July.
Get it here: https://smarturl.it/onloop014

Moxie’s On Loop label is back with a new release from Eternal Ocean label founder Ronan. The new EP,Interdépendence, follows on from his highly acclaimed debut album ‘Reflections On Intrinsic Value’ and further contributions to labels such as Pressure Dome, Vanity Press and Jungle Gym. Ronan’s productions are described as ‘aquatic sounds for healing’ and this release for On Loop is no different. Very much driven by percussion, the EP opens with a trippy dub-infused ‘Sudor De Alma’, whilst the second track ‘Interdependence’ showcases a more emotionally driven production, filled with blissful, ethereal pads and hypnotic vocal samples. It’s a moment of reflection before picking things up again on ‘Geodesis’ where excitable drum patterns lead the way, bringing you to the centre of the dancefloor. ‘Morning Glory’ rounds off the EP in glistening style - the perfect sunrise anthem.

Happy Saint Nicholas Day everyone !

Grid celebrates Christmas a bit in advance this year by offering you a special gift : a one-of-a-kind family compilation with Grid producers remixing other Grid producers tracks previously released on the label.

The project started with this simple idea, ending with 12 unpredictable matches, 12 chance encounters. A lovely way to revisit our catalog by the artists themselves, gathered together after 4 years, like catching up at a family dinner. 'Long time, no see !'

"I’ve been friends with Joe since we were kids. He is a profound silence filler," writes freelance writer Emile Frankel of his friend Other Joe (aka @josephbuchan) in our upcoming feature article.

'Flawless' is Joe's latest record, regularly toying with the space between ambience, very comfortably proving the artist's ability to leave room for the listener to hear their own breath. 

'Deepblue', co-produced with fellow etherealist @ronan-music, is the penultimate track on Joe’s new record, ‘Flawless’. 

A touching, soft, and yet calmly loud dance. Crunchy, uncompressed drums and ever twinkling pads twist around the echo of an Amen break. NY’s Ronan and Naarm’s Joe link up in the haze to produce something unique. 

'Deepblue' is a taste of everything available on Other Joe’s latest record, becoming available and possible from the inimitable @besteffort. 

'Flawless' is available as a limited run of 150 vinyl via Best Effort’s Bandcamp, and via all streaming platforms on Sunday, June 1.
