PREMIERE: Tom Joyce - Punto Di Fala [Sounds Benefit]

Tom Joyce’s sought after Sounds Benefit label marks their milestone tenth release with “7 Years Of Sounds Benefit”, a carefully curated selection of essential artists and rising talents presented as a double vinyl LP. The two slabs of wax manoeuvre between innovative electro and refined flavours of house and techno for trained ears.

First up is a reissue from S-Max, “New Delhi Projects”, previously released on Below back in ‘99. A chugging display of sounds that were way ahead of their time. After featuring on SND002, Ben Cohen makes his comeback on the label with “Short Night”, a breakbeat journey which boasts beautiful and emotive chord progressions. The B side features somewhat of a rarity as Etienne shares a track, “Gateway Experience”, futuristic energy from the accomplished producer, layered with subtle yet effective acid tones. Label head Tom Joyce delivers “7:15pm”, a dreamy quest through melt in your mind synths and punchy electro drum patterns.

As we approach the second vinyl, we uncover further gems from the archive as Lowtec kindly shares his unreleased “La Java 2014”, which was created circa. 2000. Javier Carballo and Aniano have been making positive movements with their Hdz moniker in recent times, and “Moog” is another stamp of approval, a warm bass line converses with the crisp drums and spaced out elements. On the flip, Berlin based Englishman Rob Amboule turns out a killer elasticated groove which takes you for a late night shuffle in “Scrap It”. Huge fun for the hazy hours on the dance floor. Nuversion, formerly known as Juliano, showcases his debut track under this name with “Crepuscule”, addressing further pensive moods with his classy production. Ending the fantastic release in a meditative state of mind, cruising on sweet melodies.

PREMIERE: Rob Amboule - Scrap It [Sounds Benefit]

READ > https://inverted-audio.com/7-years-of-sounds-benefit

@sounds-benefit-records toast their 7 Year Anniversary with a double vinyl LP, enlisting a carefully curated selection of producers, spanning innovative electro and refined flavours of house and techno. Our pick is @lowtec millennium gem "La Java 2014" - produced in 2000 but never released, this is a exquisitely deep sci-fi house track is an absolute salute to the Roland 808, replete with eerie sounds that you'd expect from likeminded contemporaries such as STL.

Three years after his successful release ‘Brume de Pomme’, the Parisian producer and DJ Tom Joyce is finally back with a 4 track EP with Sounds Benefit, his brand-new vinyl label.

‘Diversions EP’ is a perfect blend and association of his great store of influences, where the French artist delivers four diversified and atmospheric cuts, navigating between Chicago house, mellow deep house and lo-fi electro beats.

A record that should definitely delight the dancers and the dreamers.

Tom Joyce - Diversions EP [SND001] 12''

Paris-based label Sounds Benefit adds the second release to his catalogue, where label owner's Tom Joyce teams up with Leaves, Iron Curtis, Stojche and Ben Cohen, to offer what could be the soundtrack of a walk into the grey landscapes of the New Iram,  with reference to the mysterious city of a thousand pillars.

Leaves opens things up with "Alley 4" - his new collaboration with Iron Curtis -, a  gloomy four to the floor groove, characterized by a rolling bassline and deep synth lines, with the addition of some subtle background elements.
Tom Joyce makes his second contribution to the label with the trippy "Roland in Space". Driven by an aquatic synth loop and inspired by the work of Ectomorph, this nasty electro cut is the kind of stuff that brings the heat to a sleeping crowd.

On the flip, Stojche continues the walk with "Subway Stress". The macedonian producer, who runs Tangible Assets imprint, delivers a spacious electro track, led by gorgeous work on the deep synths and 808 elements, and sublimate by his accurate mixing skills.
Finally Ben Cohen, one of the new highlight of the french scene with EPs on Bliq, Don't be Afraid and Badance, closes with "Time is Destiny", a journey into his eastern origins. With crispy hit hats and atmospheric Juno 106 synth lines, this melancholic piece of music is no less devoid of  a certain groove.

Various Artists - The New Iram [SND002] 12''

Sounds Benefit returns with its third installment, and welcomes for their first vinyl EP the french duo Indeëd, based in Bordeaux. Tib'z and Wimd, who make the team, delivered two powerful weapons, with an additionnal remix from one of our favorite artist - the greekest XDB. 
 
Things starts on the A side with Asylüm, a super strong and driving jam processed into old tape recorder, which gives to the atmosphere an unique texture and unsuspected energy. 
XDB's reinterpretation begins much smoother than the original track, but quickly the trademark style of Metrolux's boss takes over, and brings the heat with his typical military groove.
 
On the flip, Stellär takes the listener on a different journey, warm and intense at the same time. Thanks to driving rhythm sections and rolling sub bass, this classy track completes perfectly the package, for a solid winter record.

The A side opens with a little banger from GOSU boyz Manuel Schatz & Rob Amboule, followed up by Peter Raw with his bouncy track Brotherhood.

Matthias Wagner - Who is Gary? [SND007] 12''

The 8th release on French label Sounds Benefit comes in a carefully curated package featuring Frankfurt’s Phil Evans, Def Engine, Rube Goldberg Series founder Bowyer and Tom Joyce, head of the label.

Opener ‘Bell Skit’ from Pager Records co-creator Phil Evans has an inevitable warm and infectious vibe - exactly what you are after - fluttering pads shimmer around the cosy body of the track, combined with shuffling drum work. Cut from a more direct cloth is Marco Bley aka Def Engine, with a slick and minimal edit of his track 'Escape Moot' released in 96 on Din A1 records.

On the B side, UK producer Bowyer delivers ‘Big Beat Manifesto’, a breezy summer track with a deeper energy than the three others, a young and talented producer to keep an eye on over the coming period. A fitting addition to the VA as Tom has just found himself releasing on Bowyer's, Rube Goldberg Series, an exchange of tracks between the two, each sitting comfortably on the others label. Closing out the record is Sounds Benefit founder, Tom Joyce, almost six minutes of bliss, dreamy synths melt into the snappy bass line, a classy production from the Paris based artist.
