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.

Grab the goods!

++ is back! After taking a little holiday break and getting ready for the new year, we are ready to hit it hard! And we couldn’t be any more excited about who we have lined up to kick off the new year. All the way from Amsterdam and the brainchild behind the Sekoia brand we have the talented Florinsz Janvier. His work with Sekoia has given him valuable insight into what it means to make emotionally moving music with a subtle, gentle touch; and that experience shines through across this whole EP.

To get the new year started we have the joyous and euphoric “Saganaga”. With a bouncy kick line and a thick bassline, “Saganaga” is primed to keep any and all dance floors full and moving. The smooth arpeggio line and euphoric strings seem to chase away the darkness while it’s tight, bouncy drum groove keeps the nocturnal energy driving and pushing.

Almost as a counter point to the opening track, “Zeb” brings a sense of melancholy. Based around a strong organ line and smooth organic groove, “Zeb” perfectly captures the seasonal mood with the short sunny days to go along with those long, chilling winter nights. But there is a silver lining, the chimes provide a nice back drop to the melancholic atmosphere, providing a sense of hope and serenity. 

On remix duties we have a few new faces along with a ++ veteran. Opening up the remix round we have the talented Some Chemistry and his “Self Delusional Remix” of “Saganaga”. Where as the original brought sense of joy and euphoria, Some Chemistry reigns it in a bit. With a true understanding of tension and restrain, Some Chemistry creates a memorable journey with warm keys and sparse bassline that accents the track. Teasing in the arpeggio line from the original along with the keys, the atmosphere and tension are palatable-just begging to be released. The release comes, subtly mind you, but enough to push you over the edge and look up to the heavens as a feeling of pure ecstasy washes over you.

Long time friend and contributor Josh Winiberg is back once again, this time providing his studio touch to the title track in his signature style. Stripping down “Saganaga” to it’s bare essentials, Josh’s “English Channel Connection” remix builds it back up in his image with a strong focus and attention to detail on the raw, organic drum groove that is accompanied by a magical off kilter bassline. Using the arpeggio from the original as a bed and adding soaring strings, Josh has created that go to track to “lift” the crowd subtly until they are locked in.

Daniel Zuur, another new comer to the ++ family, lends his talents to “Saganaga”. Daniel’s “Form Over Function” sums it up pretty well, building up subtly with a strong, thick bassline progression and smooth strings to punctuate the driving nature of the remix. A no frills affair that squarely hits the mark, this remix should find it’s way into a number of record boxes.

Rounding up our remix round we have man simply known as Llieno. Hailing from New York, Llieno has adopted the qualities of the city's rich house history while applying a modern touch to truly make a unique sound that is all his own. His “Big Apple” remix is an exercise in a less-is-more philosophy with “Zeb”. Taking the main organ line, Llieno beefs it up in that typical New York fashion, with tight and thick drum grooves to accompany a simple piano riff that floats over the groove. With a tough yet hypnotic take on the melancholy “Zeb”, Llieno rounds up this EP perfectly.

Saganaga (Daniel Zuur's "Function Over Form" Remix) (SC Preview)

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.
