Andrey Terekhov is known to the world as Eastcolors, and is known for his wide-scale, expansive sound on releases for labels such as Critical, Samurai and Hospital. Now, it is Demand Records who take up the talented young Russian’s work, The Swiss imprint is respected the world over for its strength of roster, quality of releases and forward-thinking vision. The perfect combination of artist and label, then, for the issue of The Light EP.

The original is straight up classic Eastcolors, with ranging depth, soulful vocals and urgent, percussive beats. The flow is augmented with some flashing electronics, smooth delivery and top drawer arrangement and production. Truly a gifted musician, if you have slept on Eastcolors up to now, it’s time to wake up.

The original is accompanied by four remixes, with Beastie Respond going all late-night on things, with some retro-sounding strings and bass added to their version. The remix still has the contemplative beauty of EC’s mix, but is taken in another direction. Imagine 80s soul and funk clashing with some sleazy house elements, and you might get close. Different, exciting, and perfectly fitting.

The Look Light remix on the other hand, is a more minimal, laid-back move. Stripping away some of the outer layers, Look Light instead focus on the groove, turning things on their heads as they cover some serious UK funky/garage ground. Phil Tangent ramps up the bass, as his remix moves from electro bursts to deep, close d&b in the blink of an eye. Troy Gunner, star of Mindset, Brownswood and The Crescent amongst others, adds elements of dub as he breaks the track down and slowly rebuilds it into a club bubbler for those that like their music serious and funky.

The remix package is perfectly balanced, and is one of the most varied you will hear all year. The release is topped off with Moonwalker, with Noel, which sees more running beats and booming bass, with an interesting undertow and touches of jazz in the corners.

An amazing set from Eastcolors, showing his Light to the world. Get to know this fantastic producer, and get your copy now.

Eastcolors - The Light (Troy Gunner Remix)

Lenzman launches his début album ‘Looking At The Stars’ on the seminal London-based imprint Metalheadz.

The début album ‘Looking At The Stars’ arrives with all the aplomb you would expect from the Dutch producer. He has taken time over this project and the results reflect this. The long player solidifies the Lenzman sound you have come to love and edges it forward into new realms of production and style.

Square aimed at the dancefloor ‘Private Eye’ is a moody roller with stabs and percussive elements that keep the track interesting throughout its duration, another great mid DJ tool from Lenzman.

Scott grew up in Seattle, Washington (USA), and was a big music lover at a young age. At 10 years old, he fell in love with new wave music and the synth-driven tunes of the early 80’s. A couple of years later, he began a new passion, collecting Hip-Hop music. 

When Scott was 18 years old, he moved to the L.A. area to attend college and play water polo at Chapman University. When he moved into his dorm room he met his future deejay partner and Neosoul band partner, Tim Andren. Scott and Tim would spend hours talking about music and seeing who could supply the best, most underground Hip-Hop tune with the most addictive beats and sounds. During this period in his life, Scott was introduced to Breakbeat, Hardcore Breaks, early Jungle, and Ambient Dub Music. Scott immediately fell in love with the overall feel and freedom of the music.

At about the age of 21, Scott and his roommates bought their first set of turntables and the passion for the music grew into an intense love. About 2 weeks after he bought his turntables, he was already circulating his mix tapes and getting booked to play at clubs and parties in L.A. After a year or two of playing local shows, Scott began playing shows all over the USA and Canada, exposing these areas to the Neosoul breakbeat sound. He was fortunate enough to play alongside such heavy-hitting acts as DJ Dan, Donald Glaude, Bassbin Twins, Simply Jeff, and many other big names.

When the breakbeat scene slowed down around 2001, Scott went back to his roots in electronic music and began enjoying the sounds of Jungle music, only now the music was more refined. He began to go to Drum & Bass events and would catch LTJ Bukem & Conrad, and the rest of the Good Looking crew every time they would perform in the Southern California area. He was drawn to the melodic, jazzy, and ethereal sounds of Drum & Bass music, and he especially liked it with Conrad hypnotically weaving his lyrics over the tunes. He began collecting Drum & Bass records and also started producing Drum & Bass in about 2004. It was also around this time that Scott further developed his passion for Reggae and Dub music. You can definitely hear the influence that these genres of music have had in his music.

His production became more serious when people started hearing his songs and began to show interest in wanting more of his sound. After a few years of producing and getting a number of tracks signed to major labels, Scott decided to start his own label, Soul Deep Recordings. Since Soul Deep’s inception in January 2011, the label has seen a great amount of success and has been established as one of the top Liquid/Deep/Jazzy labels in the music game. 

In addition to releasing many EP’s on Soul Deep, Scott has released music on a number of other top labels including, Fokuz, Celsius, Good Looking, Smooth N Groove, Telluric, Celsius, Soul Rebel, Jazzsticks, Phuzion, Liquid V, Atmomatix and Sheer Velocity. Currently, Scott keeps himself busy pushing the record label and playing shows as often as he can. You can follow Scott on Social Media to keep up to date with his releases.
