WOTNOT MUSIC - WOT 015 (24th March 2014)

Despite refusing to stick to a single genre, Deft is one of those immediately recognisable producers, which is nice because it means we don’t have to waste any time comparing him to anyone else. 2013 saw the Croydon man skilfully hopping from headphone to dance styles, often within a track, his signature blend of cinematic soundscapes and crisp, intricate percussion covering hip-hop, house, and ambient. What’s more, his noteworthy contributions to the burgeoning UK footwork scene means the young producer can now count Mark Pritchard, DJ Shadow and Rockwell among his biggest fans, and boy does this boy have fans, check this Bandcamp review of his Project Mooncircle EP Voight Kampff:

Anything this magician puts out has a pretty good chance of getting you pregnant right in the good old music hole.

Says it all really.

Emeralds opens with bubbling synths, building into epic space-station jungle juke with haunting toplines and heart-shaking bass. Cavernous electronic atmospheres introduce A Little Kiss, which interleaves percussion and stuttering bass with the incredible attention to detail we’ve come to know and love.

Octavia is a feisty younger sister to Loqux & Past, the Maya Jane Coles-championed hit from his Space Hardware EP; warm, headnod house joined by a SHOWER bass-line that roundhouse kicks its older sibling in the face for hogging the limelight. Maintaining the hyper vibes, Perky couples spiky footwork beats with slowly-evolving chords creating euphoric rises and falls, leading perfectly to the epic reflection of closing interlude On The Other Side.

All in all, Deft is an artist who continues to develop in awesome and interesting ways, increasingly able to balance striking dance music with immersive ambience. And finding his path with similarly ambitious labels like WotNot, there’s a not-too-distant future where Deft no longer worries that it’s always greener on the other side.

Deft - Emeralds (WOT015)

Taken from ‘Flame Rave’ out 23 March – http://throttleclark.com

“I started making these ravey tunes to play out at gigs, but they gathered a momentum and gradually formed this E.P. I came back to it again and again – it seemed to work in clubs but also as a sneaky, immersive headphone listen. I love the feel of an almost overwhelming percussive violence being suddenly flooded with heartache and melody. I find that dynamic exhilarating.

I really wanted this E.P. to capture that. I hope you enjoy listening to it!”

Evermore encapsulates the experimental shade of our pallet, drawing from found sound recordings, emotive vocal cuts and warm basslines to convey a feeling of warmth and humanity. Floating on the surface, evermore..."

Close Thirteen is a slow-burning, spacious piece of art, the atmospherics serve as a brooding ode to film soundtracks, interwoven with tight percussion and a drum line influenced by our love for autonomic drum & bass.

When I heard 'Evermore' I immediately heard the potential for a faster paced, darker version. There's lots of great harmonies and melancholia in there, and I really wanted to show how I would flip the drums and musical elements to give them a different, more hypnotic energy.
