Slow Rotations (1-800 Girls Remix)

Had a lot of fun recording this one, lots of different flavours and a few unreleased bits of my own - big thanks to the boys for having me!

Interview:

For this week’s episode of the mixtape series, we’ve invited Tom Jarmey to take the reigns – Tom is a DJ, producer and co-founder of the Manchester-based party Wax Villainy. As always, we first caught up to hear about the mix & what he’s been up to lately…

I’ve recently polished off my geography degree in Manchester and I’m now spending the remainder of summer at home in the countryside – a much needed rest from the carnage that ensues the final post-exam month at uni. It’s also set to act as a bit of downtime to get stuck into the production grind once more. In terms of DJing, I’ve been playing at a handful of sit down events across the UK—while fun, I’m itching to get back into a proper club environment come the 19th of July! Let’s also hope festivals can go ahead (fingers crossed).

The mix was recorded at my family home in Wiltshire with the aid of 2 XDJ 700’s, a DJM 450 and a pretty view of the quaint English hamlet – keeping things simple. A few heads were turned from passing dog walkers during the final third of the mix, I suppose the residents don’t take too kindly to drumfunk. 

I spent a long time deciding whether to theme this mix around my more ambient tastes, or take things in the grittier club direction. In the end I settled on a bit of both—dedicating the first half to the more atmospheric end of the spectrum, with a bunch of unreleased ambient and drill tracks from both my aliases (Tom Jarmey and Ocean Stirs), and dedicating the second half to the sort of music I’d play in a club set. 

Up next…

On the production side of things, I’ve got a lot of exciting bits on the horizon. Firstly, my good mate Ed Hodge and I have our second record from Mother Of Pearls – our collaborative project – dropping on independent London label Gunfinger Food later in July. Following that, I’m releasing two more Ocean Stirs EPs on Holding Hands and X-Kalay—both adopting more of a jungle-orientated focus, with the latter being blessed by a remix from none other than Tim Reaper. I’ve also recently finished writing and mixing my second Tom Jarmey album which will be seeing the light of day next year.

More generally, I’ll be continuing to play out and relentlessly produce so keep your eyes peeled!

Wiltshire-born, Manchester-based Tom Jarmey (aka Ocean Stirs and one half of Mother Of Pearls) delivers the second chapter in his latest project, Wing Theory. Following releases on Holding Hands, Lobster Theremin and Dansu Discs, whilst garnering attention from the likes of Four Tet, Bicep, Jossy Mitsu, Anz and Or:la, Jarmey’s latest EP explores brand new territory in an eclectic mix of both dance-centric and home-listening tracks.

Spanning 9 minutes, EP opener ‘Heated Silence’ takes the listener on an off-kilter, synth-laden journey through peak-time crescendos and fuzzy ambience. ‘Fog Runs Deep’ steers the record into deeper territory, providing a gritty, textural roller built for dark basements. Flipping the mood on its head, ‘Towering Mountain’ mixes ear-candy vocals from Holly Wilks with growling basslines and crisp drum work. ‘Flock Of Sparrows’ takes another turn—half-time breaks and swelling soundscapes create the darkest track of the EP. Rounding everything off, ‘Trill’ provides an emotional ascent into shimmering ambience.

'Ldn born Berlin based label 'X-Kalay' make the winter 22 their szn' to switch things up and present a brand new subprint to defect into jungle & breaks frequencies. Six years deep in the scene now they're a highly respected presence inside the proggy side of techno, and the yellow plates have become synonymous with international boundary pushers such as Adam Pitts, Maara, Rudolf C, Lou Karsh, Escape Artist and more. Forward-thinking artists with a deep desire for the trippy and euphoric corners of high tempo club music. The next instalment is a diversion into unfamiliar territory but you can 100% trust that they will deliver the goods. Jungle is having a mini revival so it will be interesting to see what names they'll be deploring on their new quest...........' (Continued Below)

PREMIERE: B1 - Ocean Stirs - Pressure [ANP001]

Wiltshire-born, London-based Tom Jarmey (aka Ocean Stirs and one half of Mother Of Pearls) delivers the second chapter in his latest project, Wing Theory. Following releases on Holding Hands, X-Kalay and Dansu Discs, whilst garnering attention from the likes of Four Tet, Bicep, Jossy Mitsu, Anz and Or:la, Jarmey’s latest EP explores brand new territory in an eclectic mix of both dance-centric and home-listening tracks.

‘Paraka’ kicks off the EP, diving straight into dark and eerie, 170 bpm, broken beat territory; merging complex percussion with a growling, all-encompassing bassline. ‘Bad Fruit’ follows suit, remaining stedfast in the higher tempos with fast-paced electro drums and reversed electric guitar samples. Switching direction, ‘Prophet’ pays homage to the staple Dave Smith Rev2, adopting a more ethereal yet equally aggressive atmosphere. Rounding off the EP, ‘Meditations’ sets itself apart, merging dubstep, trip hop and jungle influences to create a wispy, trance-inducing closer.
