Written in the beautiful, hazy and humid summer of 2015, "The Function" is an homage to all that is Montreal in it's most vibrant time of year. This tape is a tribute to the late nights out, new friends by morning and the vernacular that comes along with the cultural melting pot of Montreal's nightlife. Comfort Zone (@comfortzonemontreal) brings together classic filter house sounds and modern polish that is a breath of fresh air in today's ever dominant lo-fi house aesthetic. 

Additional Remix kindly provided by @riohv for a little extra bump on "Fade" - don't sleep! 100 Copies only.

The Function

SHFC001 - Comfort Zone - The Function (Snippets)

For our first mix, we wanted to showcase all the great producers we've crossed paths with living in Toronto and Montreal. With all the spotlight on the west coast of Canada, it seemed like a good opportunity to showcase what the east coast has up its sleeve. All the producers & DJs highlighted in this mix have varying ranges of notoriety in the dance world, but they all maintain a crucial connection to their local scene.

Cheers to all the locals holding up their respective scenes.

SHFMIX001: "Locals Only"

Our next release comes from Toronto haze philosopher Thought Project (@thoughtproject-toronto). Recorded in Toronto across 2016 and 2017, Thought Project has been very productive at cultivating his noisy, yet smoked out sound - by large the biggest stack of demos we've ever had to sort through. "Sensous Bliss" is an 8-track body buzz / body bliss / mind massage packed full of la crème de la crème of that work, featuring a banging electro workout from PULSUM (@pepullipulsumz).
