BUBBLE PREMIERE: T.V SMIFF - Love Is A Moonlit Gaze [Your Character]

Paris-based artist Marina Trench has been on a steady upwards trajectory over the past few years, her debut material surfaced on the esteemed DJ Deep helmed Deeply Rooted imprint and further releases have come via WOLF Music and Dam Swindle’s Heist since. Here, Marina steps out on her own for her first self-released EP while welcoming some friends in on remix duties.
Opening the release and perfectly setting the tone is ‘Something’, a hypnotic introduction fusing airy pad swells, modulating percussion and vocoder style vocals. Title-cut ‘Free Mind’ follows, embracing Trench’s classic silky smooth aesthetic via stuttering chord sequences and robust swinging drums running alongside gritty stabs and airy vocal chants.
‘Overcome’ is up next, employing a downtempo aesthetic with jazzy broken drums, wandering chords and twinkling keys throughout. Berlin House maestro Cinthie then reworks ‘Free Mind’, bringing an uplifting piano driven touch to the original before London’s Anna Wall takes things down a contrasting route with her take on ‘Free Mind’, opting for gritty percussion, dubbed out stab swells and elongated sub bass tones.

Aleksandir - 26 Mai 2022

Having kicked off in Galway and then quickly on to Brisbane, we travel across the pond to Durham, to pick the brains of one dance music’s freshest minds and most exciting talents, Tommy 2000, for the all encompassing GTOWN 003 - ‘2K Musik’.

5 tracks that will travel the length and breadth of your brain; from the epic opener and lead single, ‘Whales’, to the algebraic break sequences of ‘T-2000’, Tommy’s follow up to his debut EP on DJ Haus’ Dance Trax is about as mature a sound you could expect from any artist, let alone an 18 year old just dipping his toes in the water.
‘Whales’ leads the way as an almost orchestral breakbeat builder-style track that reaches its peak gradually and really takes us for a ride as we step into the world of 2K Musik. Following on from that, is the most classically-conventional track of the lot, ‘Baff’. The four to the floor backbone lulls the listener to be sucked into what is an entirely unique club track they’ve never even come close to hearing before. That is then spun on its head entirely when Tommy’s almost bookmark sound comes into play on the title track, ‘2K Musik’. Hammering us with breaks and unapologetic bass, this marriage of old school sounds with entirely dynamic arrangement and all around ingenuity tells us exactly what 2K Musik is all about.

We swap over to the B side then, without much of a break for air, and kick off with the ever-nautically themed ‘Tuna’. At this point, it’s more than evident that Tommy 2000 is entirely worthy of his placement
as an artist that’s here to stay, as if he’s pulled us underwater to listen to what the sea creatures have to say to us. Totally transforming even more modern sounding breakbeat drum patterns and bending them to his will, GTOWN003 is almost like a portal into the mind of a music genius, not just an EP you sit down and listen to; this is an immersive exhibition into the world of Tommy 2000. The final stop on the line is ‘T-2000’. You want to stop and get off, but you can’t. Everytime you think you’ve got this track figured out, you haven’t. Snares coming crashing down and attacking the breaks just as you’ve began to comprehend the synth lines and pads that eb and flow off of each other as this crescendo takes us home and back to reality, as the needle lifts on what is only the beginning for one of dance music’s brightest stars on one of its realest labels.

GRVNC07 - @WilliamFlorelle - Vessel EP (Incl. Roy Vision/ Beringei Remix)

NEW WILLIAM FLORELLE'S VESSEL +> OUT  September 30th 2022 on Groovence

William Florelle is a London-born, Lisbon-based, songwriter, producer, and DJ with mixed Nigerian and Swedish Heritage. The project aims to blur the lines between many contemporary soul-driven styles including afrobeat, jazz, R&B, and more club-focused dance music.* 

JW. Carew, (Aka William Florelle) has always been entranced by the deliberate syncopation in music. Stemming from an early love for afrobeat and growing into an appreciation for all styles that share similar cyclic qualities, he is drawn by the meditative state that is a result of the minimal. His debut EP ‘Two & Three’ (WotNot Music, home to K15, Glenn Astro, and more) received high praise as it crisscrossed between the dance floor and soulful R&B.* 

His latest forthcoming releases 'Vessel' & 'Stuck', continue to explore areas where his vocals provide distant and airy songwriting on top of house and broken beat-inspired grooves forming a mishmash of organic and electronic-driven dance music.*

William Florelle’s music has been featured on BBC Radio 1Xtra, BBC Radio 6, Worldwide FM, NTS, RA, Clash Magazine, Stamp the Wax, Music is My Sanctuary, Bolting Bits and more.*
