Pacific Northwest vocalist Ilen Halogram provides the vocals for Luke's 2nd release on Uniting Souls, a cutting-edge deep tech house original titled "Motive Amour". A psychedelic-tinged driving house track, which gradually builds to an ethereal crescendo of acid-tinged kicks & strings, peaking, releasing, dropping back, ideally-suited for peak hours! 

The remixes feature a Who's Who of Seattle producers:

1) Hanssen, who along with production partner Pezzner brought their Jacob London sound to a global audience for the past two decades. Hanssen has remixed artists the likes of  Si Begg, Ian Pooley, Lusine, Pezzner, & Colette, among others.

A Seattle institution, since the 90s with his label Tilted Recordings & vinyl record shop Downlow, to his current stature as one of the NW's top deep house dj/producers.

Jeromy Nail

A Uniting Souls resident DJ for 15 years now, Jeromy has continued to express his creative prowess with solid releases on Hype & Soul, Selekta Recordings, and Uniting Souls, remixing various artists including LawnChair Generals & Alexander East.

4) Moon Unit
For the 4th remix, we enlisted the talents of our longtime Los Angeles Uniting Souls resident, Jordan Strong, and his new production project with Knoe-1, a prolific duo calling themselves Moon Unit. Look for great things to come from the amazing chemistry which happens whenever these two get together!

The newest release on Seattle label Uniting Souls features a New York house legend - Dj Onionz! Onionz & Uniting Souls go way back to Ramiro's San Francisco days in the 90s, so the EP is a reunion of sorts, rekindling the creative energies shared between these two house music pioneers for almost two decades. 

In addition to Onionz' original, the release unites the vibes from coast to coast, with remixes by Seattle's international ambassador of house, Pezzner, San Diego's Jason Tokita,  Florida's Brian Busto, and Los Angeles producer duo Knoe1 & Jordan Strong (Jordan has been a Uniting Souls resident since 1998).

Onionz' original is a sublime excursion into beat-driven deep tech house, with a moody psychedelic synth melody at its peak, evoking the feeling of what space travel must really feel like. Each remixer brings their own flavor to the table, with a little something for all tastes.

Out Now On Uniting Souls Music
------------------
1. Amphibians
2. Amphibians (Dub)
3. Amphibians (Pete Moss Remix)
4. Amphibians (Jon Cates Remix)


Uniting Souls Music returns for the imprint’s twenty third release with “Amphibians” by longtime Seattleite and Uniting Souls resident Jeromy Nail. 

As part of the Uniting Souls Music collective since the early 2000s, Jeromy sharpened his DJ’ing skills on many late night dance floors, including residences at the seminal Flammable Sundays – the West Coast’s longest running house weekly twenty years strong – and the (now defunct) electronic dance music haven See Sound Lounge. With releases and remixes for the likes of Viva Recordings, Build It Records, Bomb Recordings, Hype & Soul, House Call, and, of course, the Uniting Souls label, Jeromy’s been busy on the scene. 

Built around chopped vocals and double-bass samples overlaid with moody pads and melodic elements, the “Amphibians” original mix emits a quirky flavor rooted in a four-on-the-floor foundation. The dub mix re-contextualizes the original elements in a deeper, minimal, bass-laden context that could be taken as ‘micro house.’ 

First up on remix duties, Philadelphia’s Pete Moss delivers an extended, stripped-down mix of the original that’s sprinkled with the vocal and melodic phrasing and fortified by a tougher bass line. Portland-based Jon Cates, best known for his work with Om Records as part of Cates&dpL, also provides a take on “Amphibians” with a deep, driving tech-house infused version, keeping the energy level high with layered percussion and drum elements, thick bass, and subtle textures that capture the essence of the original but take it down a fresh new path.

DJ Nova (Nova Planet Radio Show) - "I love the sound of the dub … it's so trippy and reminds me of '90s house music."
DJ Zach (Subtronic End Radio Show) - "Solid house music. I love the pulsing bass on Jon Cates' mix."
Tariq Ziyad (New Urban ERA) - "Lovely deep sounds to get lost in."
