amazing work! very inspired, simply magical

SoundCloud Weekly Wowza

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.

Now you must of known this one was gonna get onto vinyl one way or another...
SYNKRO has been one of my favourite electronic artists for a while now. Ever since hearing his track "Departure" a few years ago I've followed everything he's done. The emotion he manages to capture in his music is simply astounding and something that few producers can do.
My first contact with Synkro was when he was asked to remix one of my tracks "Echoes" a couple of years ago. I still remember how excited I was sending off the stems for "Echoes" as well as another track of mine, "Saving Grace".
When the remix came back I was blown away. The intricate percussion whilst so varied manages to stay cohesive, and the new 80's-ish background synth runs just make the tune. I've heard that a 130bpm remix of Saving Grace was started however this was never completed.
After getting Synkro onboard for the album I started putting together a track. I knew I wanted to do something non-dnb was working around the 130bpm mark. I jumped on the train a few weeks later and headed up to Manchester for a weekend in the studio.
We broke the track down and started to rebuild the percussion using a number of the original sounds. A bunch of new elements were added and after a couple of stints the track was done.
I had hit a bit of a slow patch writing the LP and this track proved to be a real turning point. I had been using Logic for a couple of years but after using Ableton for this session with Synkro, I knew I had to change. It was a bit of a ballsy move to switch DAWs mid album but it provided the shake up I needed. I got back to London and within a couple of months had written a bunch of tracks and more or less had the album completed.

Translation returns with the long-awaited Prints of You Remixes EP to continue the sonic exploration of its namesake, which marked Nuage’s transition to house and bass music. Up first, veteran London-based outfit Blu Mar Ten deftly re-imagine the album’s opening track Colors at a crisp 170 BPM, applying lush atmospherics, energetic breakbeats, and rolling basslines for an uplifting dancefloor vibe. Next, Nuage delves into experimental/post-modern drum & bass territory on his remix of Waterfalls, crafting an immersive, naturesque soundscape with a subdued percussive shuffle, twinkling keys, and bouncing 808 bass. Fellow Saint Petersburg based artist Bop applies his signature “Microfunk” sound to Overseas, juxtaposing crunchy lo-fi drums and glitchy FX with the uplifting house vocals and soothing synths of its predecessor. The Levels end things with a twist, re-imagining the melancholic Shining into an uplifting slice of future soul music with a textural, arpeggiated synth lead, bubbling 808 drums, and fresh verses from Alia Fresco that seamlessly blend into Veronique J’s cello performance.
