Out now on Rekids: lnk.to/REKIDS164

Prolific American artist Jon Hester returns to Rekids for the first instalment of his new album, ‘Converge’, this September.

Jon Hester grew up in the Midwest US, living in Chicago and Minneapolis while taking musical cues from Detroit. Initially he was a dancer, and later transitioned to the decks with a refined understanding of what it takes to move a club. He progressed to hosting his own events, holding residencies, and working at a record shop, and now brings his physical rhythms and adventurous drums to his productions, with output on respected labels such as Transmat, Deeply Rooted, Dystopian, Klockworks, and LET Recordings, not to mention multiple appearances on Rekids.

Continuing to show fine form on his debut album, Hester now serves up eight of his signature house and techno fusions with plenty of his trademark directness across four sides of vinyl. The superb 'Sending Signals' opens the album with scene-setting synth modulations full of sci-fi atmosphere. It's the calm before the storm as 'Metropolitan' then immediately sets off on a cantering groove that is eventually run through with busy, jazzy piano keys that bring the soul.

'Haze' has excellently taught kick drums with hypnotic synth tones adding colour, and features Hester on saxophone. When 'Rain' comes, things grow darker and more menacing, with shakers and urgent stabs keeping you moving at a slick pace.

The second half of this compelling record features the loopy punches and pulses of the super smooth 'Dreamstate', beautifully cosmic and widescreen techno of 'Free' and pensive but urgent deep electro of standout cut 'Flex.' Last of all, 'Equinox' is lit up with distant chords which bring a far-sighted gaze to the rolling, robust kicks.

exclusive | George Plant - Music Begins | M.A.D Records

M.A.D. Records has curated a remarkable collection of tracks with their tenth release, "M.A.D. 010 VA Vol. 2." This summer-themed compilation features five artists, each bringing their unique flair to the label. Among these talented contributors is George Plant, a London-based artist whose track "Music Begins" stands out on the A2 slot. This review delves into the essence of "Music Begins," a song that encapsulates the balearic vibe and transports listeners straight to a sun-soaked island getaway.

"Music Begins" opens with a lush bassline that immediately sets a laid-back, yet captivating tone. George Plant skillfully weaves in slight percussions, adding subtle complexity without overpowering the track’s serene atmosphere. The bassline, rich and inviting, serves as the backbone of the piece, grounding it firmly in the balearic genre.

The track’s floaty and ethereal synth-line glides effortlessly, creating an expansive soundscape that evokes the endless horizons of a summer sky. This element is quintessentially balearic, embodying the genre’s characteristic blend of chill and vibrant sounds.

Thoughtfully added vocals, used sparingly, drift over the music like a gentle breeze, enhancing the track’s immersive quality. These vocals complement rather than dominate, adding an extra layer of emotional depth and texture.

Listening to "Music Begins" feels like being transported to an idyllic island. Its ability to evoke such vivid imagery is a testament to George Plant’s artistry. It’s an auditory voyage that encapsulates the essence of summer, making it an ideal addition to any set designed for escapism.

George Plant’s "Music Begins" is a highlight on M.A.D. Records' "M.A.D. 010 VA Vol. 2". Its combination of a lush bassline, delicate percussions, floaty balearic synth-line, and thoughtfully added vocals creates a sound that is both captivating and serene. For those seeking the quintessential island sound, "Music Begins" delivers an auditory escape into the heart of summer. This track not only captures the balearic vibe perfectly but also showcases George Plant's talent for crafting immersive and evocative music.
