FEELYRHEART
|
London born and raised artist Parris announces his much-anticipated debut album, Soaked In Indigo Moonlight. The full-length release is out via can you feel the sun, the label he co-founded with Berlin based producer and DJ, Call Super. Regarded in the scene as a slow-burning unique talent, Parris' discography includes releases via The Trilogy Tapes, Wisdom Teeth, Idle Hands and Hemlock all of which helped him carve out his own distinctive place within the contemporary electronic music landscape. The album is a sharp piece of storytelling that weaves together stripped-down, club rooted pop, expansive experiments in rhythm and a sense of air and space that allows collaborations to flourish. In a eulogy to friendship and skateboarding, Eden Samara turns "Skater's World" into a carefree anthem. James K.'s vocals breathe a frayed hopefulness to closer falling in the waves. Alongside these two rising talents, Carmen Villian and Call Super contribute with symbiotic visions that underpin the ideas and spontaneity at the heart of the record. It is an album that is difficult to imagine ever coming from anywhere but London steeped, as it is, in the willful desire for idiosyncrasy that lies at the heart of the best of UK culture. As the fog from over a year of lockdowns lifts, this talented producer is stepping out with his most impressive body of work to date and a whole new sense of direction and purpose.

TRILOGY 092EP
|
"Parris made a career of turning UK dance music inside out. His discography is an arsenal of bangers, but they rarely sound like you might think -- featherweight where others would be lead-footed, soft when you might expect rigidity, and deeply rooted in dub sounds. He follows a lineage established by early James Blake and Airhead records where empty space can be the loudest sound. His latest EP lands on The Trilogy Tapes, and it follows the footsteps of his last release for the label back in 2017. It's dubby and it's light, taking UK dance music forms and making a skeletal, almost featherweight version of them..." --Resident Advisor

WSDM 016EP
|
Long-time friend of the label Parris debuts on Wisdom Teeth with a unique set of step-y house mutations, including a collaboration with AD93 star, Minor Science. The record begins in downtempo mode. "Soft Rocks With Socks" rolls out majestically on a slo-mo drum break and a two-tone bass loop, with shimmering pads and bleeping melodies counterbalancing a deceptively punishing low end. "Terrapin" -- a link-up with Minor Science -- is a pristinely produced 100bpm stepper, featuring razor sharp drum synths and crystalline MIDI melodies. To close, "Sabor a Ceniza" pushes the tempo up towards peak time. What begins as a broken rhythm settles into a 4x4 groove, finding the exact midpoint between Roska's UK funky and Margaret Dygas's work on Perlon.

ANCIENT 006EP
|
"Sam Kidel from Young Echo opens proceedings with a beautifully rolling, pastoral re-arrangement of the melodies of 'South East Of The Mountain,' keeping a watchful eye on the original, dread b-line. Then some chilled ragga from O$VMV$M, versioning 'Skeletal.' Finally Helm takes the helm, with a startling re-animation of 'Bloom,' brilliantly tipping the registers of Music For Airports on their side."
