Frank & Tony drop the 2nd single from their upcoming Dream Vibration EP, their first outing since 2017’s Odes.

Following on the dreamy Time Out Of Mind comes Stretch Out Like The World - remixed by New York legend Timmy Regisford.

Regisford’s almost 40 years in the scene shines through - an assured groove permeates the slow burning vibe of Frank & Tony’s original.

With the promise of a vocal mix dropping with the full EP package, this is going to be a mar- quee release on Scissors and Thread.

Francis Harris’ Thresholds album dropped on his own Scissor and Thread, garnering rave reviews for an album steeped in atmospheres, drone textures and electro-acoustic explorations. 

It’s an album far removed from the dancefloor, but he’s also managed to curate a remix package from some of the most talented and boundary-pushing artists active on the fringes of the electronic music space. 

First up is Manchester resident Hidden Spheres’ remix of Earth Moves, which is flipped into a pulsating slice of electronica. 

Yu Su, the up-and-coming producer currently living in Canada, takes the same track on a different journey, resulting in a slinky, affecting piece of music that eventually falls into a deep groove.  

Speaker Music - the moniker of ‘rhythmanalyst’ DeForrest Brown, Jr., delivers two reworks of the albums title track Thresholds. The Rhythm Remix focuses on the original’s brass washes, and adds a thick, playful bass rhythm. The Studio Soul remix is more a freeform piece of audio manipulation and editing, resulting in a transportative piece of work that fully compliments the original track.

Finally getting a vinyl re-release is Frank & Tony’s seminal work with breakout duo Bob Moses. Back in 2012 Francis Harris and Anthony Collins (Frank & Tony) worked with their fellow New Yorkers before they went on to sign to Domino Records.  

The four track EP is a deep, introspective dive into Frank & Tony’s early production work with the understated melancholic vocal stylings of Bob Moses (Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallence) that would pave the way to a new sound in house music. An essential release now for the first time on vinyl, capturing a vital period in both outfits' development.

Black Light Smoke lends this remix a wounded, uncertain beauty. Leah Lazonick's voice feels distant and fragile, floating through a veil of distorted percussion and analog gravel. It seems to be a piece of music that breathes on its own. First loose then dense and full of unresolved feelings.  Glory Club is a collaborative project tied to Jordan Lieb, featuring moody, vocal-led productions with artists like Léah Lazonick. The remixer Black Light Smoke is Jordan Lieb’s solo alias, known for a gritty, analog approach to electronic music.

Released in 2014, it still seems like a strange dream that you can't quite place. It's a rare kind of remix that unfolds a lot. A natural pick for our Classic of the week selection.

Created in the isolation of the British countryside, Desert Sound Colony is inspired by faintly remembered sounds and almost forgotten memories. The thread running through the melodic, visceral tracks touch on a sense of melancholy present within us all.
Occupying a space somewhere between ‘60s Psychedelia and the pulsating sounds of future-clubs, Desert Sound Colony is both infectious and ethereal, shrouding the listener in a gentle, rhythmical canopy.

2015 will prove a benchmark year for Scissor and Thread with the rising momentum of Frank & Tony and Desert Sound Colony and now with the introduction after many months of work of their new enigmatic artist, Rosas Nievas, with a sublime debut EP, Every Inch of You.  Like a tip of the hat to Herbert, the title track entices with easy piano licks, a cooing vocal and a lush atmospheric enveloping the 'floor in a warm embrace. Flipping the switch, the bounce of "Opinions" propels dancers into hands-up, Chicago-style elation, while the rollicking, looping closer, "Hear Me Rain", entrances with its early morning psychedelia. Completing the package is a breakaway edit from label heads, Frank & Tony, who transform "Every Inch of You" into a sun-drenched, euphoric deep house stormer, in a way only they can do.

Black Light Smoke’s Lovework EP, released on Scissor & Thread in 2012, channels raw emotion through dusted grooves and analog grit. Jordan Lieb fuses lo-fi house with post punk attitude, letting tape hiss, saturated drums, and fractured rhythms guide the way. From the warped pulse of the title track to the dark energy of “Nasty Dirty Freaky Love,” each cut feels unpolished in the best way. It’s music with scars, intimate, distorted, and unforgettable.

Marking the inaugural release on their Scissor & Thread imprint, Frank & Tony's Presents... 001 introduces their signature sound aesthetic. The EP features "Worked," a collaboration with Bob Moses, and "Rings," featuring Corbu. Remixes by Kai Alce and Steve Bug, along with Frank & Tony's own Drumverse Dub, enrich the collection, offering a blend of soulful grooves and atmospheric textures that set the tone for the label's future endeavors.

No Cliché / Poppa’s Bag shows two sides of the Scissor & Thread aesthetic in its early days. Lightbluemover’s No Cliché stays spacious and controlled, leaning into tension and minimalism. On the flip, Black Light Smoke’s Poppa’s Bagis looser and rougher around the edges, built from dusty samples and a beat that sounds intentionally unstable.

Released in 2012 this EP still stands out as a snapshot of the label’s rawer beginnings.

Released in March 2012, “Leland Remixes Volume 1” brought two of Francis Harris album tracks back into focus. Kate Simko takes “Living Lips” into new depths, rich with detail, while Bruno Pronsato turns “Close Air” into an unfolding drift. Together they show why Scissor & Thread’s early catalog still feels timeless.

Having made his label introduction with his remix of label newcomer Villete's "Rillia", DaRand Land gets to spread out and show off his unique brand of euphoric and uplifting deep house on his debut EP for the label, 'Discover You'. The title track is classic DaRand Land, with bright piano chords, buzzing organs and a thick Chicago house bass line. Siren-like pads fade in and out from the periphery, as electrifying percussion elements come into play. Frank & Tony take a turn and apply their signature style onto the former track, adding a chunkier kick with bright as day claps and hi-hats to propel the track through the opalescent haze draped over the melodic elements. On the flip, "Marcela's Sense" is a blissed out, head down late night affair. Cosmic pads swirl around glistening keys and repressed organ chords, as toms bounce among the steady hi-hat ride, lulling the listener into a state of euphoria. The EP closes out with the atmospheric, peak time Detroit house cut, "Souls Awash". A serpentine bass line runs the show amidst swelling pads and in-your-face kicks and percussion. As with all of his productions, the track shines in the smaller details that float in and out of focus throughout, lending the track's weightier elements an even greater sense of gravitas.

Nadia Khan returns on Scissor and Thread for another sublime mini LP, Port Ana. Based in North Carolina, Khan first drew a lot of attention via a cassette release on Where To Now? Records in 2015. 
Her sophomore statement was the beautiful In Gleam released in 2018 on Francis Harris’ Brooklyn-based label, which set the tone for these five tracks of meditative music. 
The title track Port Ana opens the journey - a gentle, droning soundscape with effortlessly bewitching glints of melody. 
Conversation follows on, drawing on loops and textures to create the background for a deep, pulsing kick drum. The sounds shift and evolve, leaving a hazy sense of movement to drift away to. 
Next up is Objects In Form which presents a fragile chord progression that barely holds itself together, surrounded by shifting pads and swathes of reverb. 
Rain Again is presented here in two versions. The original combines ethereal sounds, weightless and adrift, while the Lawrence remix firmly grounds the track with a hypnotic, deep groove. The Dial boss provides another remix for the digital release that further plays with the textures of the original to create something that works both for an open minded dancefloor and as a home listening experience.
