│release notes.
Following an overwhelming response to our autumn kickoff with
Arnold Jarvis' "Beautiful Love" and Directions' "Deep Talkin", we
move into darker, introspective territory as the trees reveal
themselves and the winds begin to howl...
This debut EP from newcomers Middlefield (remixers of Directions'
"Busted Trees" opposite Carl Craig on our DIA017) demonstrates a
sonic versatility that brings a new twist to the blending of human
warmth into the colder metal of the post-nujazz era. Delivering
intricate melodic progression within layered rhythmic structure,
Middlefield are a team to watch!
"...the suburban place they call home provides an appropriate
metaphor for their approach to electronic music: an uncluttered,
less defined barren landscape into which one's own warmth must be
poured"
A1 - Haze
Classic 4-4 with the identifiable core being an infectiously wide
wind-like progression and a bassline that maintains a dynamic roll.
This is the much-lauded back-to-basics approach to good music: only
essential magic and no unnecessary clutter. DJ Deep approved!
A2 - Incoming
Stripped down mid-tempo is the order of the day here: the
Middlefield brothers put inspiration on their proverbial sleeve,
giving us an insight into what drives them. A gorgeously warm
progression glistens with some ghostly vocal presence, working up
to a subtle rhythmic bed.
B1 - Incoming (Moonstarr Remix)
Fellow Canadian Moonstarr puts in a cameo appearance sharing his
trademarked batucada-infused funk. Squelched synth leads and
crunched drums take the brothers' original core into dancefloor
territoryàalready killing floors worldwide by Moon himself!
B2 - Haze (Ambient Rework)
Atmospheric texture sans rhythm shifts this version of Haze into
chill mode.
