Subwax Excurssions, the trippiest arm of the multifaceted label family pivoting around Barcelonas via-Sweden most active electronic agitators, has a fifth record on the pipeline. After some brilliant efforts -including the comeback of long forgotten Jordan Fields and a brand new album from Rush Hours new totem Orlando Voorn the label presents a split record meant to highlight the work of two middle class workers of the club scene whose works are screaming for some recognition.
Sales Information:
On the first side, Chronophone teams up with Detroit’s vocalist Mike Anderson on a Motor City House affair called ‘In The Sunset’. The original track goes straightforward to the dance floor employing pounding rhythms and a catchy bleepy bass that serve as the perfect grounding for Anderson’s dark vocal intonations. On the other side, Barcelona’s JMII -of the duo Aster- show us what he’s learnt after signing releases on 100% Silk, Hivern Discs and Mathematics and hits us with ‘Leo’, an uplifting mix of off-kilter Juno sounds, 707 drum hits and vocal samples extracted from a well known Soul song sampled two decades ago by Rave enthusiasts Altern-8. Germany’s House veteran Werner Niedermeier rounds up the release with an atmospheric remix of ‘In The Sunset’, adding some dramatic strings and round pads and taking Chronophone’s original into deeper territory.
