Will Brock and Sumsuch return to Colour and Pitch with uplifting, soulful gem, 'You Could Fly', presented with remixes from Gavin Boyce and Glass Slipper. 

Also releasing together on BBE Music as Mega Jawns, the Philly / UK duo of Will Brock and Sumsuch have been releasing music together ever since 'Simpatico', the first ever single on Colour and Pitch back in 2013. 'You Could Fly' is typical of the duo's warm, human, song-based brand of electronic music, with soaring vocals and sparkling piano from Brock, matched with lyrical guitars and smooth production from Sumsuch. 

Hot on the heels of his landmark 2021 album 'Anywhere Here' on Nordic Trax, Irish producer Gavin Boyce turns in a typically deep, understated yet intricate revision of 'You Could Fly', slowing the tempo and squeezing even more emotion from Brock's vocals. 

Fresh from releases on Reel People Music and Foliage to name but two, and being remixed by the great Atjazz, Austin TX pair Glass Slipper return to Colour and Pitch with a super-soulful re-imagining of 'You Could Fly'. Turning the song into a duet with additional powerhouse vocals from Lisa Cork-Twiss, Glass Slipper's remake takes the song up, up, and away!

Completing a triptych of fantastic LPs for 2016, Will Saul’s Aus Music is delighted to announce the debut full length fromYouandewan. The Berlin based Brit’s ten track ‘There Is No Right Time’ lands in October 2016 and shows a distinct development of his musical style.

Youandewan is Ewan Smith, a DJ and producer who has quietly but consistently gone about forging his own tender brand of deep house. He has been doing so since 2009 and most recently settled on this label with tracks that are shy but seductive, and full of both motive and emotive forces. This album stays true to that narrative, but sees Ewan finding his feet with his mostaccomplished and elegant work to date.

Much of the music was sketched out during a wintery Berlin three years ago. Having left London, hungover from a breakup,Smith found himself broke and secluded in an apartment for four months. All this lent the music he wrote a melancholic vibe;one that nods to the lonely nature of the job and to the darker side of constant partying and all that comes with it.

A swelling, expansive piece of melodic atmospherics starts things off, then the soft hues of analog chords bring a neon glow to

the weightless whirl of ‘Be Good To Me, Poly.’ Soaring synths marry with a raw drum and bass combo on “Waiting for L,’ then ’Time To Leave (Can’t Mix)’ resets to a piano laced beatdown vibe that is wilfully wallowing. ‘10405 (Alice)’ is a shimmering, crescendoing piece, and from there the second half of the album begins to take an upward and optimistic swing through the floating, graceful harmonies of ’Our Odyssey.’

‘Something Keeps Me Real Quiet’ is a concession to the ‘floor with its rusted electro slither, ‘Left On Lucy’ calls upon friend Huerta for a hi-tech soulful house cut Derrick May would be proud of, and 'Earnest Kelly' nods to the ‘80s with its stomping retrosynthesis. Finally, ‘4D Anxiety’ allows all the pent up emotion and energy to dissipate with a playful hip-hop jam effortlessly tapped out on an MPC.

‘There Is No Right Time’ is a listening album which proves that deep house done well needn’t be reserved for the club. It’s a vulnerable and musical work that stays with the listener long after the final chords have dissipated.

Here are 2 new jams that I hope will get you through the end of this year & safely into the next. They were inspired by a tumultuous 2016 and are thus heart-felt to the core ♡♡♡

Following first-rate releases and remixes on Rogue Decibels, Ready Mix and Itom to name but a few, Hungarian producer and DJ Tibor Dragan returns to Colour and Pitch with ‘I Believe in You’, a tender and melodic cut, presented with remixes from BiG AL and Gavin Boyce.

Tibor Dragan’s original version of ‘I Believe in You’ is an ethereal, dream-like journey with wistful chords and spine-tingling strings, perfect for moments of reverie on the terrace.

 Boasting a clutch of incredible releases on Nordic Trax and other great labels, we’ve been keen to have Irish producer Gavin Boyce join us on Colour and Pitch for a few years now. It’s been worth the wait- Gavin’s remix of ‘I Believe In You’ is simply a perfectly poised house production; deep in the truest possible sense.

 Ready Mix Records founder and Middle Eastern electronic music pioneer, BiG AL (aka BIGz) turns in a typically thoughtful and smooth rework, setting up a flawless groove before letting Tibor’s original chords ride out during the breakdown.

Few define contemporary house music like Colour and Pitch. Month after month, it gets featured on Traxsource and many other platforms. The label, managed by Sumsuch, now presents an equally prominent release! Based in Austin, Glass Slipper provides what’s sure to be another bestseller. They proceed to “serve up a slice of sunshine” with “Sambada.” Forging its lone remix, Gavin Boyce also returns in brilliant fashion. He thus strips back the original using deep chords, vox and stabs.

Sambada

Premiere: Glass Slipper - Sambada (Gavin Boyce Remix) [Colour and Pitch]

After almost a years hiatus simple returns with it's first EP of 2013 from Leeds starlet Youandewan. Ewan Smith has been making a name for himself with his deep, dozy and ever so slightly melancholy take on house. He's already slated remixes for Maya Jane Coles, Midland, Dusky & the elusive Gerry Read as well as original eps for Hype LTD, secretsundaze he now makes his simple debut with his 'What's the Deal?' ep.

Youandewan's 'What's the Deal?' EP highlights Ewan's attention to detail whether that be with melodic flourishes on title track 'What's The Deal' or whether it's a more patient groovier number like 'Just Words' which adopts the less is more approach, focusing on a classy bassline, a few drawn out synth chords and sweet vocal snippets. 'You Don't Know' combines Ewan's trademark vocal snippets once again but this time with Mike Huckaby esque synth licks, this is probably the deepest jam on the ep and Ewan's not afraid to take a nod to those from the D(etorit). 'You Tired' rounds off the ep, and illustrates Ewan's deft touch by combining a heavy, groovy bassline and lush, subtle piano flourishes.

Youandewan is only getting going and this EP perfectly showcases his sound. With gigs this summer at Hideout, Unknown and Echo festivals, Trouble Vision as well as several appearances at our very own Aus and simple parties we think 2013 is going to be a fine year for Ewan.

With each new release, Souq Records bridges the gap between East and West. Its next one welcomes a truly cultured artist! Originally from Turkey, Zigan Aldi now resides in Berlin. His latest production, “Odin,” continues to blend "organic and electric" sounds. Driven by a heady groove, the title track bursts with Levantine flair.

During a tumultuous year, Stellar Fountain stayed right on track. Its latest endeavor culminates with a new sublabel! Thus, Stellar Limited features offbeat sounds that don’t suit the main imprint. Its debut release comes from a similarly budding artist. Based in Copenhagen, GÆO is a graduate of The Royal Danish Academy of Music. Their first original production, “Touch, Grip, Release,” aptly samples a string quartet. Stoked by deep atmos and 4x4 beats, “Release” ends things on a somber note.
