Pitchfork Feature new remix on Aus
Yes the man that calls himself Glimpse that I call Gimp finally passed his driving test!
I remixed this track dedicated to the length of time he donned L plates on the car. He also say’s things like “shake that ass”, “gimme some bass” or even “im a cool muthafucka” in his records. A loveable chap indeed!
Enjoy

Little Bits that Matter - Soundcloud
After the new E.P. premiering on XLR8R Magazine, the tracks are now available on my Soundcloud page for checkin’. You can listen to the title track ‘Little Bits that Matter’ on the right or click here to listen to the whole e.p.
Remix I did for Luke Solomon’s Digital Kid project.. Seems to have been causing quite a stir which is always useful. It’s out now on wax at all outlets through Classic Rec Co. Digital in a couple of weeks..
The other remixes ain’t shabby either, Matthew Dear as Audion with Ryan Elliot, Chicago Damm etc.. Decent!
Critical Distance - Official Video
The peeps over at Noisey very kindly offered to premiere the video for Critical Distance Pt2 over on their website.. Video created by Chris Mounter, and it’s a very fitting dollop of natural disasters with warbling bass. Like a glove
Obstructing the Light - Official Video
Calling it an official video may be a little strong.. I know it isn’t footage of me playing drums in a disused warehouse via a Super 8 app.. but instead some tasty vintage footage of crotches, mens bums and lunging with a super 8 effect added afters (probably via an app) = All the things that the boys over at Glass Table love. So do I.
After smashing the proverbial granny out of it on Boiler Room last night… here’s a gentle nudge of the more emotive side of my sweaty self..
Forthcoming on the wonderful Glass Table on August 20th.. A rather splendid picture disk too… these sell like hotcakes i tell you, so get involved straight away if you like the sombre tones
For its latest single Canada’s My Favorite Robot Records looks to the UK and the unique pairing of producer Tom Demac and Manchester based band Silverclub…
Tom Demac has, over the last decade, become one of the UK’s most respected electronic music producers releasing records on the hottest labels around including Hypercolour, Four Twenty, Murmur, Morris Audio, liebe*detail & his own Electronique audio. Now this celebrated London based producer has teamed up with hotly tipped Manchester band Silverclub for a brand new single to be released on the ever-excellent My Favorite Robot Records.
The EP sets sail with title track ‘Holiday’s Over’, a richly produced slice of vocal electronica that deftly fuses live elements with programmed parts to deliver an emotive and instantly likeable track. Demac’s funk infused backing provides the perfect soundbed for Silverclub frontman Duncan Edward Jones’ distinctive vocals and together the pair deliver a record that should have truly broad appeal. ‘Throat Trip’ continues in a similar vein with Demac laying down a bass driven rhythm section and Jones providing an intense yet other-worldly vocal, quality stuff.
The package is completed with two remixes; the first comes courtesy of Buzzin Fly act Flowers & Sea Creatures who take ‘Holiday’s Over’ and rework it into a deep and dubby version that imbues the record with a haunting quality, the second is provided by Swedish production don Tiger Stripes who remodels ‘Throat Trip’ into a wonderfully hypnotic house cut.
Tom Demac and Silverclub have provided My Favorite Robot Records with another stellar release.
Hypercolour returns with an EP from close friend and now London based Tom Demac. With his move to the capital, and amongst dreams of owning a fixy bike, we have seen a change in his fashion attire, he now sports a crown fitting wooly hat reminiscent of a northern ‘where’s wally’. Some things never change though, and Tom’s penchant for raw sounding, sub heavy house music stands rock-solid.
After release on imprints like Morris Audio and Liebe Detail, Demac has earned himself a reputation as something of a crafty craftsmen – his house sounds operate in a freaky little pocket all their own and seemed carved as if with different tools. This EP is no exception.
Kicking off with the rubberised hop and skip of “Jackapella Bowles,” taught analogue bass notes ping out a pattern around which non-standard claps, hiccupping sounds and some subtly used vocal samples all coalesce.
“Dirty Honey” is just as fresh sounding, with double kicks and this time eerie bass notes jostling about like mischievous loiterers until a recognisable “hey, today, baby I got your money” vocal ups the ante yet further. Playful, poppy but propulsive, these are exactly the sort of super fresh house sounds you’d expect from left of centre Hypercolour.
On the flip you’ll find the wavy, soupy tech grooves of “Trying is right by me” which wallows in a quiet backroom as the party around it (weird synths, weird voices and filtered robots) grows louder and louder.
As is often his want, Sheonda strips the same track back to a solid, locked-in and heads down groove of the sort he’s nailed on recent release for Hypercolour and Fear of Flying. The shady male vocal remains, closing out a delightfully off kilter house package that isn’t weird for weird’s sake, but certainly operates in a modern sphere, a world away from the usual tired house tropes.
