Plus Plus is here to keep the vibes going all summer long! After digging through out back catalog to produce some remixes for his previous release, Ared is back with with an outstanding EP that delivers sun soaked vibes for lazy afternoons. From the emotional and uplifting strings and keys on “Real Hope”, to the tight drum driven grooves and forward bassline on “Intro”, Ared’s once again shows off his distinct approach to melodies and harmonies while keeping the grooves grounded.

New comer Drymouth takes a focused approach on “Real Hope”, creating an electro influenced throw back vibe with it’s broken drums and sequenced synth lines that harken back to days gone by. The arrangement is a no frills affair that delivers the goods and doesn’t hold back.

LoveAmplified makes his much anticipated return to Plus Plus with his remix of “Real Hope” Stripping it down to to a few fundamental bits from the original, LoveAmplified builds it back up into deep and chugging house vibes. And as luck would have it, LoveAmplified was kind enough to include an instrumental as well for those late night vibes.

Wrapping up the EP we have Odøn tearing down “Intro” and creating a downtempo remix with shades of trip hop. Odøn’s slinky drums and hazy vibes are on full display. While the drums may be loose and lively, Odøn’s attention to detail is anything but. With a thoughtful arrangement and every synth complimenting it’s counter point, Odøn creates a remix where the whole is greater than the sums of it’s parts.

PLUS066 welcomes label newcomer Roam Freely to the Plus Plus with a trio of absolutely fantastic originals. With a deep understanding of the ethereal and while being an empathetic soul, Roam Freely is able to tease out so much sympathetic emotions from his studio you’d think his synths and drum machines were alive and full of a life their own. On remix duties we have long time fan favorite Chlorophyll along with PatriceVanDenBerg and Pheek, the engineering guru behind all our masters. 

“We Are Here” represent the first steps hesitant on a journey to awakening. A muted, rubbery synth line guides you as windy pad weaves in and out until a deep fuzzy bassline grabs your hand and gives confidence that you are heading in the right direction. A broken drum groove punctuates the arrangement with shakers proving a guiding light on your path. The momentum builds subtly as the crossroads appears over the horizon. The track strips back down to it’s essentials as you approach the crossroads, coming to a gentle conclusion as you debate your next route.

With the initial steps of the journey long behind us, our confidence in the path we’ve chosen starts to build. “Tournesol” starts strong with a tight kick and a bouncey, analog bassline to encourage us up the hill as our journey has recently turned a corner, proving to be a bit more dynamic than anticipated. Gentle synth notes dot the arrangement, adding a sense of intrigue while the thin organ adds a touch of contrast to the thick groove. The kick drops as we hit the summit, giving us a moment to taken in the view before and acknowledge	the distance we have come. The downward journey proves to be a bit more relaxing as the organ starts to fade, much like the sun setting beyond the peak we climbed. 

We’ve finally made it to the bottom of the hill and see the clearing in front of us. “When You Get Here (Griot Dub)” starts with a dubby synth melody that dances across the field, with full moon shining overhead. A stuttering bassline pushed us through the darkness, a filtered kick being our only guide. An airy pad washes over us much like the cool night breeze, a shiver running down our spine as the kick filters back out and we hesitantly continue onward. As we approach the end of the clearing, twinkling synths fade in over top as we see the beach in font of us, the eerie blackness with the lone reflection of the moon being the only indicator of the ocean in front of us. We sit on the sand as the ocean calms and the twinkling synths fade, our heart beat matching the stuttering bassline as the kick fades and our journey has come to it’s conclusion.

Chlorophyll is up first for the remix round, taking the ethereal synths “We Are Here” and pushing it to a vintage tech house monster. Dubby horns open the track as an acid inspired synth line follows the progression. A tight and vibrant drum beat takes hike, driving the track as the rubbery line from the original haunts the arrangement from the background. 

Pheek’s approach on “Tournesol” shows off his attention to detail, with meticulously sculpted percussions and tailored every tails. A slinky, low swung bassline sits just below the kick, while a filtered sequenced line grabs your ear and doesn’t let up. Swelling strings build up a sense of tension that compliments the stripped down groove as it’s moves through to it’s conclusion.

PatriceVanDenBergs interpretation of “When You Get Here (Griot Dub)” is vintage PVDB. Dubby chords and a drum groove with a subtle funk are front and center. Taking little bits and pieces of the original, Patrice uses them to accent the arrangement, ading a sense of the familiar while still being true to his vision as an artist and producer.

Roam Freely - Tournesol (Pheek's Analog Remix)

To me, this track feels like a major leap forward in finding my process. It was a helluva lot of fun to make.  I made a commitment to sneaking my voice somewhere in all my tracks, so it's in there somewhere for the attentive to find. (This is my "Schmastering" attempt, and it hasn't been professionally treated yet.)

Big thanks to everyone to danced their faces off the first time I played it out at the Grand. (Ceremony crew & Portland homies, I love you guys.)

Props to Dali, whom I presume would be fine with my use of his sketch.

After gaining underground and media critical acclaim alike for his Teggno Records establishment, Lance decided it was time create a new musical outlet. Where as Teggno Records is focused on the more forward thinking and cutting edge end of the techno spectrum, it was time to take a step back, drop the bpms a bit and enjoy the groovier, more subdued end of the dance spectrum.

Enter Plus Plus, Lance's new output for anything deep and dubby. The perfect balance to his already reputable Teggno outlet, Plus Plus is in the process of building a network of like minded individuals and really believes in building a "family first" mentality while helping it's young and raw roster develop and hone their skills.
