On his follow-up to ROOS10, French DJ and producer Adam BFD lets imagination thrive with five mesmerizing breaksy house cuts, best heard under a star-lit sky. Duality flows seamlessly throughout the whole record, Adam harnessing the power to connect everyday experiences with a higher state of consciousness.

The EP kicks off with ‘Digital Tales’ which layers wistful secrets over mood-altering pads; it’s hypnotic undertone grounding and continuous. ‘Cirrus Dreamz' ascends even further into the clouds, it’s steady pace expertly infused with cosmic melody and shuffling rhythms.

In a world driven by hyper-connectivity, Adam’s productions are a welcome reminder to stop and explore, none more so than in the immersive world of B side opener ‘1st sight’. Dynamic percussion provides the movement, while meditative sonics produce the feeling of being swept up in a magic carpet and taken along for the ride. Adam’s depth of field widens in title track ‘Rose’, a quasi-epic composition combining all the best elements of house and breakbeat.

The record comes to a contemplative halt with ‘Siniestro’ - an ambient bubble-bath with field recordings poignantly placed across developing pads yearning for connection; showcasing another side to a producer who knows how to tug at the heartstrings.

Releasing Friday July 29th, we are extremely excited to announce another Redstone Press debut in the form of Glasgow local LWS. Lewis Williamson is at the stepping off point of a soon-to-be prolific production career, having drawn early support from the likes of Ben UFO , Elena Colombi and Surgeon to name a small few for releases past and forthcoming.

LWS has been working hard the last couple of years crafting a signature sound via his excellent label Matrice Records (https://matricerecordings.bandcamp.com/) and a previous release on Eyeangle Records. Aerosol firmly cements him as a producer to keep two ears and eyes on and each track is a perfect example of his skill on the dials and breadth of creative talent! 

Limited press of 100 records. Don't sleep!

RED005 LWS - Aerosol EP (RED005)

'Adam BFD first burst onto the scene with his distinct, emotive driven productions, making a name for himself as an artist bridging the gap between electro, breaks and house through tear-jerking melodies and cinematic euphoria. Now based in Paris, Adam’s music represents escapism in its truest and most colourful sense; an outlet to pour his emotions into as the words begin to fail him. The characters and places Adam’s music evokes are a testament to his art - sights of emerald green fields and the smell of delicately grown flora wash over - their tangibility sitting on the tip of your senses like a bird perched on a treetop.

Adam’s world has grown and formed its very own ecosystem, feeling personal yet touching upon universal truths. In recent months BFD’s immersive storytelling has continued to unravel, with three stand out releases on UK mainstay Lobster Theremin. The Paris based DJ and producer now debuts on Shall Not Fade’s Lost Palms label, marking a watershed moment in his relatively short career. The six track EP spans cosmic breaks and ambient soundscapes that give off an almost audio-visual vibe.

Adam’s tracks are generally accompanied by meditative song titles and sprawling pads, and EP opener ‘I’ve Been Waiting’ encompasses this perspective. The track's subtle movement signifies that change is constant, but there’s always beauty to be found whether we’re waiting or not. ‘Sonar’ enters the fray with its bass heavy kickdrums and chopping breaks. Duality is sourced within the tracks melancholy, yet hopeful musicality, before the A-side comes to a close with ‘What’s Next’ - an ambient dreamscape that plays out amongst the cosmos. 

Title track ‘Innervisions kicks things off again, this time verging slightly left but still distinctly Adam, with an ethereal glow and moon-lit glaze. Buoyant and gated pads communicate the mood in ‘M1 & I’, before The record’s end comes in the form of subaquatic beats and ocean blue arpeggios, shimmering brightly across the surface. Personal, intricate and emotive, ‘Innervisions’ is a candid story told from a producer who lets the music do the talking.  '

Premiere: Adam BFD - I’ve Been Waiting [Lost Palms]

The fifth Redstone Press release comes from Glasgow based LWS, who is at the stepping off point of a soon-to-be prolific production career that has already drawn early support from the likes of Ben UFO, Elena Colombi and Surgeon. This is definitely a producer to keep two ears and eyes on.

The opener “Aerosol” showcases LWS’ flair for space, bass and catchy hooks with this stripped back percussive workout progressively morphing into a low end sound-system killer. The A2 “Spoker” is a far more chaotic and energetic affair, highlighting further LWS’ incredible detail for intricate, pulsating drum work, chopped vocal cuts and stretched out synths which draw you straight to the speaker. The B side contains two slower-paced and wonkier offerings. The groove-ridden and stumbling ‘“Chug Sequence”’ inexorably works its way into your mind via a mash of percussive hits, foreboding vocal whispers and rolling bass. Closing out the release is the slow burning “Rev Up”, LWS reverts to booming drums and stop/start beatwork that culminates in a rising, euphoric cacophony.

This one is a limited press of 100 records. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!

PREMIERE: LWS - Spoker [Redstone Press]

Driving through the city at night he felt free. The roads were clear, the lights low and barely a sound could be heard: the streets belonged to him and no-one else. For hours he'd snake through the city, feeling the wind in his hair, before taking his journey on to the highways and putting pedal to the metal. It was his adult playground, it granted him an escape that little else could. When he fired up the engine, he awakened his inner child...

Glasgow's LWS has been catching the ear of tastemakers since he started making his percussive and drum-heavy bass cuts. The up-and-coming producer has already made pitstops at labels like Tdsr, Eyeangle Records and MELD, as well as launching his own Matrice Recordings which started life at the beginning of this year. Now he keeps it local again with a debut on Redstone Press, a label who have been making similar waves to the young producer. Hot on the heels of their fourth release with Henry Greenleaf, they draft in LWS for his Aerosol EP, a collection of leftfield bass tracks that range from high energy workouts to wonky chugging grooves. The release is available as a special limited run of 100 records, which are not to be slept on...

For RE:WARM 004 we head to South Africa to welcome the amazing band, The Hurricanes to the label.

The Hurricanes comprised of Donald Mbowane, Albinus Sobekwa, Elias Sekete and Philip Marokoane. However over the years there were a number of variations in the band. They released a number of singles and EP’s throughout the 1970’s on RPM and Buffalo but they finally released their greatest hits in 1978 on Buffalo.

It’s from the greatest hits which was produced by Thomas J. Masingi that we have selected three wonderful tracks that show off the band’s phenomenal talent. The hugely sought after track “Sea Waves” will take over the A side with “Brother” and “She’s Got To Know It Well” on the flip.
