The 8th release from Sole Aspect Records is a sonic experience celebrating rich traditions of Chicago, Detroit, and New York. The Customary Finesse EP showcases a thoughtful dialogue between deep house and soulful techno, delivered with analogue warmth and understated elegance. Life Recorder’s “Blues in Flight” opens the A-side with layered synth work, warm pads, and hypnotic percussion—offering a deep, introspective glide for the dancefloor. Laak’s “Apophis” follows with a moodier, late-night pulse, featuring dubby textures and subtle melodic progressions that hint at cosmic tension. On the flip, Laak’s Retroflex Remix of “Blues in Flight” transforms the original into a minimalistic groove, dripping in tape-saturated nostalgia and spacey motifs. Life Recorder returns with the “House 2 Jazz Remix” of “Apophis,” blending swing-infused drum programming with jazzy chord stabs and expressive basslines—perfect for warm-up sets or sunrise moments. Overall, this EP carries a timeless, collector-grade aesthetic that resonates with purveyors of deep, soulful, and carefully crafted vinyl music.

B1. LIFE RECORDER - BLUES IN FLIGHT (LAAK'S RETROFLEX REMIX) SNIPPET

DJ. Producer. Broadcaster. Curator.
(Birmingham, UK)
 
Jayson Wynters is “a tough artist to pin down” (FACT) and he likes it that way. Since debuting on mentor Mr G’s Phoenix G label with Unfamiliar Territories – a thumping series of late-night, analogue workouts – the producer and DJ has ventured in many directions.
 
One minute he’s on a deep excursion at Berghain or Free Rotation Festival and the next … he’s in a gallery presenting a talk about storytelling in reggae music. Or curating culture at multi-concept space Artum, which he co-founded in Birmingham. 
 
His releases for labels such as Delsin and Don’t Be Afraid oscillate between house and techno, pressing the outer limits of electronic music. But he’ll never stop drawing on other influences such as sound system, soul, jazz, hip-hop and martial arts.
 
Wynters’ sets can be forceful and intense but also meditative, putting dancers in an ecstatic flow state. And always with a meticulous approach to craft, just like his productions.
