For the second track on the EP Fraser gives us this stripped-back cut with huge impact. Moody, techy drums set the vibe, then a short vocal cut introduces the heavy, sharp, stabby bassline, which bounces over some seriously spaced out synths. The spooky witchdoctor vocal cut loops over on the final drop to continue the groove. A fine example of Fraser's manifesto; serious deep tech house with its roots firmly on the dancefloor. Set to destroy many a Halloween dancefloor!


Fraser Owen - Hoodoo IDED024B (Preview) - OUT NOW!

This track is definitely the deeper of the two on the EP. Subtle percussion is combined with a fat punchy kick, along with layers of haunting atmospheric textures.  The pure funk of the bassline pumps its way along whilst the sweeping strings and soft keys add a mysterious melodic twist. A deep groove that cannot be ignored with shades of uneasiness managing to be melodic and beautiful at the same time. Tried and tested by the Sideways DJs on the festival circuit this summer with great results!

Miami Ice - Fragile

After a short break Sideways returns with it’s 25th release featuring the talents of Germany’s latest rising star Miami Ice who first got our attention with a string of amazing remixes for cool UK deep house imprint Savoir Faire Musique.

Thom Norton Remix
And now for something completely different.....
Here Thom takes a break from his deep house vibe to show another side to his production skills.
Twisting tones set adrift in a dark void lead us into deep breaks territory, teasing with flavours of the original.
A heavyweight, downtempo and atmospheric detour.

Fraser Owen Remix
Continuing his spaced out journey into the cosmos, Fraser provides this no-messing cut of pure deepness. Elements of the original are lurking awash a sea of atmospheric pads, and a crisp, tight, techy groove. Half way through the track breaks down and brings in sweeping synths that have an almost uneasy presence taking the track off on a tangent.

Miami Ice - Fragile
After a short break Sideways returns with it’s 25th release featuring the talents of Germany’s latest rising star Miami Ice who first got our attention with a string of amazing remixes for cool UK deep house imprint Savoir Faire Musique.
Based around a triple hit drum kick, this forward thinking house cut is a step forward and an interesting shift in the Sideways sound. The triplet bass-line combines with the kick alongside soulful vocal samples and a beautiful, almost melancholic guitar sample. The open hi-hat drives the track along but the three hit kick remains throughout. An ideal set-starter or pace changer that can be thrown in to change the pace. Just oozing with cool.

Alien FM & Keydin - Lounge On The Farm 2011

With our 19th release Sideways proudly presents our latest member of the team.....
Fraser Owen (you will remember for his excellent remix of Robot Child's 'Tangent')
now with his first single with us.... The Nascent EP

nas·cent/ˈnāsənt/
Adjective:	
Just coming into existence and beginning to display signs of future potential; not yet fully developed.

Fraser does exactly what it says on the tin with a couple of polished house epics. 
With two succesful collabs with man-of-the-moment Noir under his belt and support across the big league board Fraser is a definite name to watch...

Fraser Owen & Ben Macklin - Elixir
The second track on the ep is with good friend Ben Macklin.
This one's a slow burner that builds and builds with tension throughout.
It's rhythmic keys and rising synth bleeps complement the drum pattern perfectly. All built around bongo driven beats with a punchy, crispy snare. 
When it's time for the breakdown the track really heads into spaced out lush territory before returning to the groove and that rising feeling continues. 

Stay tuned for support!!!

Fraser Owen & Bradley P - Slide To Unlock (Omid 16B Remix)
On remix duty this time we have long-time pro Omid 16B who shows he's still at the top of his game with this dark and ever so slightly twisted take.
Some serious intricate and detailed programming!
The pumping kick and bassline sit together nicely  with bubbling atmospherics lurking underneath. 
The percussion has an almost organic feel combined with harsh metallic hi-hats and shuffles, and the original synth melody is kept intact for full effect.

Stay tuned for support!!

First up is Slide To Unlock with co-producer Bradley P. An elegant slice of Ibiza-friendly synth led deep tech-house. Sweeping pads swirl over a powerful rolling bassline.
The female vocal cuts sit over the shaking, percussion led groove.
Smooth and sexy house to complement the summer!

Stay tuned for support!!!

Fraser Owen - Deep Space EP

Fraser Owen returns for our 21st release with a deep techy journey into outer space!

Art inspired by music, music inspired by art. The origins of this release track back some 8 months to a collaborative art event hosted by Sideways. At the time Fraser was exploring a deeper, spacier side to his production so when he asked his artist girlfriend for something visual, the influence of his music led to art which then led to star constellation names and inspired more tracks...

Aquila
Here a deep, groaning soundscape builds into a rolling, meaty groove. Menacing pads haunt the low ends of the track and as the track develops. It’s simple melody and floating keys complete the mood. Techy elements and an overall deep feel build into a truly deep space experience. A track that manages to be subtle but with large ‘cojones’.

Mintaka
From the initial throb this track takes on a slightly disturbing quality. More of a laid back roller here. Filtered pads sweep and chop, setting the pace over another solid groove with a nuclear kick and spaced out atmospherics. A heavy sound throughout with distorted vocal spasms. A nice mood lifter with plenty of personality.

Hydra
Pure deepness on this one. A punchy kick and crispy hi-end percussion lead the way, and a haunting female vocal adds a touch of melancholy with an eastern vibe. The solid, deep bassline ends up shifting up and down after the breakdown for the climax of the track with harpsichord style tones.

Vega
With its almost monastic, Enigma style vocals, and subtle flowing tones, Vega has a feel reminiscent of Ibiza sunsets past. Beginning with a loose shuffling groove, an almost frantic sounding melodic stance then rises. This contrasts the lush backing creating a slightly paranoid twist. A driving bassline keeps the energy up, and for the breakdown we're treated to a half tempo drum pattern and strings as the melody creeps back in for the drop.

Daladje - Dual B

To kick spring off Sideways proudly presents Dual B, three more slices of weird from our forthcoming Daladje album out later this summer.
Miami’s Daladier Bach shows more of his alter ego.
Not for the faint hearted or weak minded, fairy tales from the dark parts of the universe.....

Take Away
The first of our trio starts with melodic keys which lead into some loose bongo-led percussion action with bendy synths and a mysterious eastern feel. Pipes drift before the groove drops with tantalising vocal snips over a rising organ bassline leading to an emotional string rise with the bass weaving throughout. Bleeps distort, delay and twist to bring the track to its conclusion. Somehow unbalancing!

Smokin' (Fraser Owen Remix) 
Our very own Fraser Owen provides us with, surprisingly, only his 2nd remix for Sideways, taking the track into deep tech territory. Moody pads and spacey synths lead the way, over a melodic punchy bassline, in a similar vein to his recent Deep Space EP. The guitar sample is chopped and re-arranged to create a clever contrast to the mood of the original. A much more haunting take with just a hint of the original’s jazzy feel.

Smokin' (Luis Bravo Remix)
Luis' first appearance on Sideways, and we welcome him with this, his take on the track, which has initially a more minimal feel with a nice, heavy kick. A single horn and slick vocal samples are chopped with precision and the pads keep things nice and warm.  Rapid snare fills, build as the vocal stretches and breaks, building the tension as a single string note sits in the background, adding to the classic house feel.

Smokin' (Keydin Remix)
Sideways stalwart Keydin gives us his interpretation, a piano led bigger room sound with plenty of energy and drive and trademark Keydin melody and warmth. The piano from the original is kept whilst being set to a somewhat more dramatic pace, chugging along like a hypnotic steam train but keeping the deep vibe of the original.

Smokin' (Original)
As the name suggests, Smokin' is a cooler than cool deep groover in true, deep Savoir Faire style. Led by a jazz guitar lick and sultry piano chords, the rhythm rolls along with shuffling hats and rides aplenty and a reserved yet meaty kick and double clap hits. And not forgetting the ever so smooth vocal cuts! One for the ‘heads down’ crew but with enough funk behind it to fuel a dancefloor.

We are an underground house and techno label based in the South East corner of the UK currently in our fourth year. We evolved from a group of like minded DJs, promoters and producers who together have supplied the underground entertainment in our area for the last twenty years.
A platform for new emerging talent, we started locally but this soon expanded with remixes and signings from further afield. We are serious about music. We do what we do because we love it and we believe in older values. Every release is mastered properly whether it’s digital or vinyl by Chris Alexander @ Full Range in Brighton.

We aren’t big or clever, we jump up and down at parties just like you.
