hmmm deep house with a trip hop twist....so so nice

I wrote "Skyscrapers" on one of my long trips to a far away country. It is a love song. It is about missing someone very much even if you don't always get along and agree on things.  In moments like that you just want to run away .. as fast as you can .. only to feel like you want to come back 5 minutes later..

Nina Kraviz - Skyscrapers (Radio Edit)

From the darkness, Come and find us
9 lives won, you'll see. 

He demands us, show your life lust
never tame us, we're free.

And the darkness thicker,
and the beacons weaker
and the angels nearer
this is our return.

In the water,
come and find her
name her better
she's tame.

Now you see her,
entertainer
play forever
these frames.

Judged we are,
who enter, 
this life of 
games. 

Deliver,
our martyr,
your saviour,
shamed.

Written and produced by Paris XY (James Orvis & Alice Smith).

Nicolas Bougaïeff presents the ‘Dust’ remixes, due 19 July on Max Cooper’s MESH imprint. Across this three track package, Guy Andrews, Max Cooper and Deapmash provide diverse interpretations of Nicolas’ most recent EP.

‘Dust’ borrowed its name from a short story by Greg Egan, in which a future scenario grants humans the ability to duplicate

their consciousness as software, thus experiencing immortality. Inspired by this narrative, Nicolas decided to focus on the experiences of the main character, who observes himself becoming increasingly disordered in his surroundings.

Guy Andrew’s take on the title track opens with a glistening sonic palette that morphs through ambient settings, serene at times, frenzied at others. Max Cooper takes a different stance on the same track, spiralling the fuzzy synths of the original through a rolling kick, held together by the harmonies with which his work is now synonymous. Closing off the EP, Deapmash reinterprets ‘Bremsstrahlung’ with obscure broken rhythms and droning ambience.

A techno shift, Midnight Shift’s third release sees Recondite on his upward trajectory pair up with the relatively reserved Julien H Mulder. Both outputs possess a stripped down aesthetic, but while the former revels in the straight and shiny, the latter brings a touch of lightness and play. A tightly packed, hardworking 4-track EP that will serve the many moods of a DJ well.

Formerly from Bavaria and now based in Berlin, Recondite crafts ‘Borderline’, a track that broods in shimmery afterdark punch, such as with the last bright rays of an inevitably waning sun. ‘Stomper’ does not have to go on too long to make a point. It is a moody, melancholic, almost lovesick trudge topped off with restless hi hats. Accomplished in ambient space music, Julien H Mulder has been producing music since the 90s. To him, simplicity is best. The Stockholm resident’s ‘Won’t Say Nothing’ is a lightly drenched sigh paired with broken beat while ‘Old Rutins’ is a bassline-led kicker soon to run amok in dancefloors. They hint at what is to come with his forthcoming full EP on Midnight Shift.

￼Recondite will make his Singapore debut for the Midnight Shift Label Showcase at kyō (www.clubkyo.com) on 4 May 2013.

I did a remix for http://soundcloud.com/norwell. He's one of my fav producers at the moment. He used to make music for the 'Elbow Room' alias as well. Hope you like this remix!

Norwell - Expose (Applescal Remix)

Since 2012 Paris XY have developed their unique sound. Combining vocals and guitar with live analogue synths, drum machines and atmospheric soundscapes. Lyricism is brought to the fore, influenced by Joy Division, Radiohead and Edgar Allan Poe, subjected to Smith’s Blues powerful delivery. Orvis' production is rooted in Scandinavian and eastern European inspiration, predominantly Trentemøller, GusGus and The Knife. At Beacons festival and Galtres Paris XY supported Daughter, XXYYXX and British Sea Power on the Loud and Quiet stage, as well as playing between Morcheeba and Tricky. 2014 has also seen the duo on tour in Germany and Holland in July, showcasing in Berlin, and following that with the Poland dates supporting GusGus on their world tour; 6 soldout shows and a final date playing Berghain Main Club on September 24th.

Wytching Hour will be the band's 7th single release, leaving only EP004 left before the debut album in 2015. Following the disturbed psyche of the everyday man, the narrative indulges in debauched temptations of modern society. Take from it what you want, the ambiguity allows every listener to take their own dark path. Lyrics and music taunt each other, a pulsing bassline matched with the chanting vocal line weaves a hypnotic devilled dance.

“Take the dark side of Trentemoller, Gui Borrato and Apparat and add the smoky, sultry voice of Alice Smith doing it in the vein of The Knife and you get Paris XY”  Bad Fotography

“Haunting synthetic lullabies that are drenched in darkness but also sometimes feel like a rave event in a nightly forest. PARIS XYare many things but mainly a promising new act that deserves to get more attention.” NBHAP

“That they have attracted the attention of Icelanders electric veterans with only two EPs , says something about the pull of their music.” Noisey

“Seemingly inhabiting two different worlds, James Orvis’ contemporary electronica and Alice Smith’s gothic, vintage-sounding vocals meet in the middle to create the alluring sound of Paris XY. Haunting and atmospheric, as though a purring ‘50s jazz singer were cast adrift in a Berlin nightclub”  Beacons Festival

“There is something strangely hypnotic in particular about the vocals of Alice Smith that in sound evokes the smoldering qualities of Lana del Rey but with the dark lyrical content of Portishead or Crystal Castles.” Commercial Free
