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.

lyrics

BREEZE FLOW THROUGH THE TREES
I WAS WITH THE TEAM ROLLIN CUTLASS SUPREME
THE LIGHT TURNED RED AND I NOTICED IN THE REAR VIEW
AN EL CAMINO WITH A WINDSHIELD SO DARK I COULDNT SEE THROUGH
I QUICKLY REACH FOR MY STRAP I NEVER HESITATED TO LAY A PUNK ON HIS BACK
DREW GOT THE GAUGE AND SOUP GOT THE MAC 
WE WILL HAVE A BLAST FOR DAYS AND YOU KNOW THATS A FACT
THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN NOW WE TAKIN A LEFT
THEY TAKE A LEFT TOO I AINT CONVINCED YET
WITHOUT TAKIN A BREATHE I SAID NOW B TAKE A RIGHT
AS THEY FOLLOWED OUR LEAD I SAID ITS ON ALRIGHT IT WAS A
A NIGHT LIKE NONE OTHER
NOW EVERYBODY IN THE WHIP GETTIN READY FOR SHIT 
JESUS SLAPPIN ON A VEST CREEK STACKIN THE CLIPS
ALL DOORS OPEN UP BOOTS TOUCH THE GROUND
AS WE WALK TOWARDS THE EL CAMINO THEY GET OUT
HOODED UP MASKED UP THEY WALK TOWARDS US
ONE STEPS BEFORE THE REST AND SPINDS THE BARREL OF HIS GUN
BEFORE IT GOT TO STOP ALL YOU HEARD WAS POP POP 
YOUNG BONES HAD TO TURN THEM MOTHERFUCKERS TO ROCK IT WAS A
A NIGHT LIKE NONE OTHER

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.
