People Of The Light continue their fine run of form as the summer season arrives with POTL014, @subjacentmusic ‘Elward’ EP. The San Francisco/Philly based female duo have caused quite the stir offering up a blend of techno and melodic with recent works gaining support of John Digweed, Tom Pooks & Emanate to name a few. They are joined on ‘Elward’ with Just Her (@justhermusic) and label head honcho Jay Hill (@jayneuf) who both step up on remix duty.

The title track kicks off proceedings with rich synth swells and icey hats paving the way to an ethereal vocal that stands proud amongst flurries of melodic offerings. ‘Dislocate’ ups the energy as rolling techno drums pound from the off and snippets of acidic elements cascade throughout the production.

Just Her’s take on ‘Elward’ welcomes an irresistible breaks groove and soft yet engaging melodic top lines whilst still allowing the original vocal work to shine bright. Closing the show; Jay Hill delivers an atmospheric rework, stripping it back with echoing drum hits, warm pads and electro infused bass line.

‘Elward’ lands 28th of June on all stores on People of the Light Records.

POTL Podcast - EP05 James Chang

People of the Light continue to build a storied catalogue of releases, and for their latest - label supremo Jay Hill prepares something a little special. “Believe in Me,” releases on Friday, October 25, 2024 and brings together 2 outstanding remixers that make this one mean something more. Renowned for an ability to blend melodic intricacies with driving rhythms, Jay delivers two compelling originals, two tracks that show the two sides of her personality, split between a more peak time techno vibe and a more rhythmic house number. “Believe in Me” and “Already Broken” showcase Jay’s signature sound characterized by deep, pulsating bass, immaculate beats, and a whole load of club-ready weight.

The EP is taken to further heights by standout remixes from producers Porchcrawler and James Chang. Porchcrawler (Harvey Barker) remix of “Believe in Me” infuses the original with a fresh - Detroit style. Vibrant energy that works to craft a dynamic groove and addictive rhythm. What makes his involvement in the label extra special is that Porchcrawler is the son of one of Jays long-time mentors, and sadly departed scene originator Andy Barker from "808 State". His remix is absolutely top tier, showing the next generation will push the boundaries more than ever.

@iamjameschang also joins the record after previous outing on the label to give his take on “Already Broken”. He transforms the track with his distinctive touch, blending robust beats and warm layers to deliver a engaging reinterpretation that dances the line between deep and minimal. We chose these guys especially as their work not only enhances the original compositions but also builds on POTL's commitment to fostering creatives within the electronic music community.

A series of events, people and connections spread over the course of decades cumulate in this record. This string of moments and relationships is evident throughout the EP, where each track and remix serves as a showcase of artistic evolution that resonates on both a technical and emotional level.

Premiere: Jay Hill "Believe In Me" - People Of The Light

We have never been good at keeping secrets, so we proudly share one of Liverpool's best kept secrets - ISO3 / @iiiso3. Also known as Michael Newman, as he returns to People of the Light with the next level Timed EP. Following his contribution to the label’s acclaimed vinyl-only The Educator EP—a heartfelt tribute to Mike Huckaby—ISO3 delivers a trio of sublimely deep and rhythmic tracks that underscore his distinctive sound. Seamlessly merging raw intensity with an edge of soulful depth, Timed EP is a refined modern Techno record which pays its dues to the history of the sound.

Opening with the title track "Timed," ISO3 sets a hypnotic tone with rolling bass, underslung percussive groove, and classic melodic shifts. Each track builds on the momentum of the previous, moving things into a deeper exploration of rhythmic complexity and moody atmospheres. Finishing in a blend of moody synth lines and infectious grooves, balancing emotive depth with more modern ideas. Here at we POTL love bringing back artists whos' sound not only matches our but constantly moving to new places, that's what we are all about.

The Timed EP is a great example of ISO3's evolution and POTL's commitment to releasing music that works with discerning ears.

Out exclusively 28.2.2025 on Beatport/all stores 14.3.2025
