Discography

The night was only just beginning, the start of something new and exciting was just around the corner. Buried in the blackness was a fresh beginning – a genesis of sorts. Soon they would all come to know this night as the moment in which it all changed, in which enemies became friends and bitterness ended.

The room was crowded with solitary dancers, full of people who had travelled to experience the rebirth first hand. As the music played loudly in the densely packed space it was remarkable to see the smiling faces of those who’d made the pilgrimage. They would be rewarded very soon.
 
Ed Hodge is set to release a four track EP via Gestalt Records – an EP which draws upon elements of tech and deep house paired with odd sensibilities which make the record a unique and distinctive offering. This track, ‘Genesis’, was the highlight for us but the rest of the record is just as strong.

Premiere : Glen S - Infinite Vape (EC-006)

Bogotà born and raised DJ and producer Nicolas Duque has been lighting up the scene following a string of VA contributions and his perfect pop-tinged UKG debut EP on Breaks ‘N’ Pieces’. Since then Duque has gone on to release music that flirts with nostalgia and contemporary electronics on Dansu Discs, Magic Carpet and Limousine Dream sublabel Nug-Net, merging house with various UK flavours. Now he makes his debut on SITU Records with a futuristic four track EP demonstrating his fluidity between genres, this time opting for 4/4 kickdrums and pleasure-seeking bleeps. 

The sound of swinging hi-hats and classic bass notes churn as the record starts to spin, before distant electronics and crowd roaring grooves take hold in opening track ‘Ritmos Contundentes’. ‘The Unforbidden Track’ is the perfect follow up, this time introducing acidic leads and festival ready chords brimming with warmth and light. The Aptly titled ‘Ting-a-ling’ opens the B-side in a playful mood, with optimistic melodies racing at full steam ahead. The record comes to a close with ‘Midnight Library’ encompassing everything that makes this record great; the combination of mischievous, yet light-hearted grooves built perfectly around an interchanging melody.

Ripping its way through the space-time continuum, Tel-Aviv based producers Asphalt DJ and Gzardin surface on Oddysee for the release of their anticipated debut outing, ‘Now & Zen’. The 4-track opening salvo embarks on a transcendental trip of deep and propulsive club bouncers. With the cuts firmly landing on the intersection of the 90s spectrum and fresh-minded sound design, the package offers a clear view of where the two newcomers are headed, as well as the Oddysee label.

Ducking and diving, bobbing and weaving, with utmost haste they charged through the maze of branches and trees that blocked their way. Slowing occasionally to jump or hop over obstacles, the only standstill came with an unplanned slip or fall, quickly rectified with a rapid scramble back on to their feet. There was no end in sight, no finish line in memory. The only option was to keep running.

R.A.N.D. Muzik Recordings is a label we're constantly keeping tabs on. The Leipzig-based imprint is responsible for sharing some of the most refined electro, house, acid and breaks around and, considering its relatively short life span, has welcomed a diverse roster of artists for solo EPs and V/As, including Kassem Mosse, Rudolf C, Mick Pointer and Lou Karsh. Next up on the release schedule is a four-tracker from Manchester-based producers Tom Jarmey and Ed Hodge, who under the moniker ‘Mother Of Pearls’ team up for a batch of driving electro and breakbeat stompers.

Label: Distant Horizons
Artist: Tom Jarmey
Format: Vinyl
Cat. Number: DISTANT001
EP Title: Amber Glass LP
Release Date: September 11th, 2020
Support it: https://lobstertheremin.com/album/amber-glass-lp

Tom Jarmey releases his debut album for Lobster Theremin sub-label Distant Horizons (formally known as Distant Hawaii) with the beautifully serene ‘Amber Glass’ LP.

On Amber Glass, Jarmey draws on influences from ambient, house, breakbeat and techno, combining dusty drum sequences on top of cosmic synth patterns and classic, warm, tape-driven production. It’s a rare treat in the post-rave, home-listening dance spectrum and showcases a knack for brooding, laid-back grooves as well as a killer melody and rhythm. Chock full of breaks, bubbling electronica, deep diving tones and emotional textures, the album is a glimpse into the work of a rising producer, but one who nonetheless sounds comfortably in their prime.

Jarmey seamlessly blends breathtaking soundscapes, luscious vocals and soaring synth hooks on this debut long play following releases for 13th Hour, Shadow City and R.A.N.D. The LP sets the tone for future excursions on Lobster from the versatile Manchester-based producer.

Long-time musical collaborator and saxophonist, Ed Hodge, joins Jarmey for a clutch of tracks on this project, with Hodge performing sax on both ‘Bees In Meadow’ and ‘Deeper Pacific’. Amber Glass features the stunning artwork of London based designer CMDP.
