"I can't fake being alive" - Dolor, Midnight.

Lewis James returns to Original Cultures with Desire for Infinity, his second EP for the label following from Krakatoa earlier this year which received support from dance music luminaries including DJ Shadow, Sinistarr, Dawn Day Night, Om Unit and Kidkanevil.

The creative road to Desire for Infinity has not been easy, with the EP undergoing multiple rewrites and changes yet after all was said and done it became clear that this new collection of songs is arguably Lewis James’ best work so far. The seven tracks that make up Desire for Infinity may seem disparate at first but there is an underlying unity that soon becomes apparent, a clear desire from the producer to break on through to the other side.

Opener Space Banquet is a gentle offering, a slow jam for digital lovers that leads us into Her Jewels, a track that delicately unfolds towards an epic crescendo, a sonic tale of reaching for the stars. On Midnight, Lewis rekindles the magic that made Powerchild a highlight of his previous EP by once more inviting Dolor on vocal duties. This time around the young American prodigy takes the guise of a dark and mysterious crooner, turning an inspired ode to late night romance and soul searching over a production that is as sensuous as the lyrics. Whole marks the half-way point of the EP and a sharp turn from an introspective quality to the music towards a no-holds-barred dancefloor mindset. Lewis shows his talent for crafting catchy productions that lie somewhere between rave and hip hop. Worse for its part packs more weight and attitude than the entire current trap trend ever could while the EP’s closer, All or Nothing, takes Bollywood for a ride in South London, gun cocked and all.

The release is rounded off by two remixes from young Irish talent SertOne and London's LV, two artists currently involved with Original Cultures. Available in digital format with artwork from Paper Resistance.

“An infinity of passion can be contained in one minute, like a crowd in a
small space.” ― Gustave Flaubert

Botany, 'Dimming Awe, The Light is Raw' out September 18th on Western Vinyl

Under the Botany moniker, Spencer Stephenson creates rich psychological and emotional experiences through audio. When he started creating his own music at age 15, he was enamored with Four Tet, Stars of the Lid, Madlib, and Dilla.  In his late teens, he went through a heavy period of discovery with Psychedelic rock, Krautrock, and Brit-folk. "I started imitating a lot of those forms in my own music, sampling them sometimes, recording from scratch sometimes, but really just trying to bridge a gap between those worlds and sample-based hip hop, and I’m still trying."

On his latest effort Dimming Awe, the Light is Raw, the 27-year-old producer and composer continues dissolving the borders between his disparate-yet-beloved psych, hip hop, and ambient influences.  Unlike his debut LP Lava Diviner, which peaked and valley-ed through a narrative arc, Dimming Awe focuses on the artist's ever-unfolding, present state of mind.  As a former jazz student, spiritual/free jazz philosophy regarding what he calls “emergent” music has increasingly become a guiding light when he creates.  "The more emergent I let my music be when I'm making it, the more I like the result, it feels like a truer reflection.  I feel like I am getting closer to doing that with computer-made music," he says.  "This album is a document of what I do, not a statement in any explicit way. I feel like I'm moving closer to a jazz underpinning that I've always felt, philosophically more than aesthetically…making music feels more like exhaling as I grow older.”
