Lost In the Archives Vol. 1 - Rob Pearson

Ecstatic to have UK tech house royalty Rob Pearson to introduce new sub label ‘Lost In The Archives’ to the Helix discography. 

With the focus of unearthing lost music from the prime years of tech house; Rob has blessed us with 4 tracks from an archived DAT that slipped through the cracks in the 2000’s.

All 4 tracks were originally produced between 2005-2009 using an Akai s6000, tr808 & 909, Juno 6 and a Roland SH-101 at Online Studios in South London. The tracks were then mastered by Rob in 2024 after we got in contact and shared our vision for ‘Lost In The Archives’.

The Evasive Records boss has racked up over two decades worth of releases on esteemed labels Wiggle, Fabric, Plastic City and Swag Records to name a few and shows no signs of slowing down with an album locked in for late 2024.

Catalogue: HDA001

Production, mixing, mastering: Rob Pearson

Unhoused Solidarity Action - Julien Riganti / 8000watt  - 10 Nov 2024

This week on Topshelf we’re delighted to have with us, London based, Scottish born, DJ and Producer, Kenny Blacksmith.

Having been a core member of the SlothBoogie team for a decade, Kenny Blacksmith has been working on his solo career in 2024, with his superb debut, the acid championing, deep dub, ‘Mondays Fish’ releasing in March this year on Natural Frequencies. The record showcased his fine production with the ever evolving tracks dancing synths, rich dub and impressive minimal hats insuring that the floor stays filled for the entirety of its 6 minutes and marking an exciting start to his new venture.

With regular sets in London, Berlin and Ibiza, Blacksmith has proved over a decade behind the decks that he’s a highly gifted DJ, providing an array of eclectic tunes, working through multiple genres in house, allowing him to perfectly digest the mood of a room to reflect back onto the dance floor. With a special ear for a dubby bass line and an acid synth, it’s easy to see what’s made Blacksmith a staple in London’s nightclub scene.

Now with a mix for us that beautifully demonstrates his diversity across the house genre. Big dubby beats and eclectic minimal grooves, all served up with soulful undertones, we’re delighted to give you Topshelf 0127 with Kenny Blacksmith. Enjoy.
