Midland - Holdup [GRD003]

The crew would gather once more to party under the sunlight of the mystic beyond. They would leap, prance and move their feet as they raised their cups high towards the skies above. "Haru Matsuri" they would chant to the lord on high up there. They were saved and now was the time for dance. Strike up the guitars, bang the drums, play it loud and groove with the summertime sound of the future planet, the future sky, the new world belonged to them. 
Olde Gods are a duo made up of Guillamino and JMII: two widely reputable producers in their own right who have released music across labels including Hivern Discs, Third Ear, Bankrobber and 100% Silk. The pair released their debut as a duo back in 2014 on Minor Planets and have now announced a follow up. 'Haru Matsuri' is their latest offering featuring a remix from Brooklyn's Octa Octa. A great package all round.

GRD004 - Solitary Dancer

Out 30th September 2016 on Vinyl & Digital - https://tinyurl.com/GRD004

For its fourth release, Harry Agius aka Midland's Graded label has signed its first new act in the form of Montreal-based Solitary Dancer. With ‘Desire & Apathy’ being instantly familiar to anyone who heard Midland's Essential Mix earlier this year— in which it subsequently proved to be a much asked about inclusion— this eponymously titled release marks the debut of Solitary Dancer, as well as Agius' second time stepping into the role of label A&R following Hubie Davidson's appearance on Graded's ‘Regraded' sub-label last year.

From the opening moments of the EP's title track it is apparent why Aguis welcomed this release to the label, with 'Desire & Apathy' highlighting Solitary Dancer's similarly shared talent for elegant, richly-sculpted sound design and a knack for propulsive club rhythms that eschew rigid 4x4 drum patterns. 'Desire & Apathy' takes a classic electro beat and through the use of elegaic pad washes and swells of sinister bass notes morphs it into persistently engaging shapes. 

The B-side's 'Paradise Found' is a suspenseful coralling of intriguing sonic elements, with its fractured beats combined with a cinematic sense of drama and melancholy that's brought to the fore on the beatless 'Rapture Version' which brings Solitary Dancer's first release to an impressive close.

Solitary Dancer - Paradise Found [Rapture Version] [GRD004]

Man Power, a descriptor of the brute force either available or supplied by humans, and also a producer-come- DJ who regularly fluxes between a whole genre range of electronica links up with Omena for remix duties of Thrilogy’s Evanescence. 

His remix is an interstellar force to behold. The title could suggest something ethereal and likely to dissipate, when actually quite the opposite occurs. Such is the way when traversing the unknown and unexplored. Neither man nor probe has reached the outer limits of this hinterland but we are assured everything is under control. The hold me tonight crescendos, flushing keys and delicate vocals have been independently certified and will perform, even under duress. We can make it past the singularity if we all continue listening. 

If you like think you may enjoy more Omena-esque vibes, come peruse the label mix they did for us a couple of months back. <3 Plugging the FH back catalogue <3.

PREMIERE: Thrilogy - Evanescence (Man Power Sweden '92 Remix) [Omena Records]

Artist: Adam Marshall
Label: Maeve
Title : Low Poly Nature
Catalogue : Maeve 12
Format: Vinyl, digital
Release date: 
Digital: 24/11/2017
Vinyl:   24/11/2017


Adam Marshall has long being an artist admired by the Maeve label. From featuring in early carnations of Mano Le Tough & The Drifter’s Passion Beat parties to producing tracks like “North at Night” and “Vamping”, Adam has always been an artist, all three of the Maeve founders were eager to work with. 

Over the course of the last 12 months and through much back and forth, a four track package finally emerged that all parties now feel very proud to release into the world. “Low Poly Nature EP” features several guises of underground electronic music and in parts pushes their boundaries. 

“Core Dub”, is a slick, quick, classic Canadian techno track. Tinged with nostalgia, the layered pianos and galloping beats make for a super A1 and great start to the record. “House Shipping (Jammed Mix)” is slightly more subdued, living up to its title, this beautiful meandering house tune feels like a dreamy jam and makes up the A2 of the release. 

On the flip “Illusions of House” kicks things off, an off kilter jarring melody provides the basis for what initially feels a bit confusing but eventually graduates into quite the banger thanks to some well chosen percussion and excellent arranging. “Epsic Basic Drops”, rounds off the release and in many ways encapsulates the spirit of the whole record. This track again feels like a raw jam lifted straight from a studio session and in its beauty and madness leaves the listener a little puzzled as to how it should be defined. 

Track list Vinyl / Digital :

A1. Core Dub
A2. House Shipping (Jammed mix)
