Throwing Snow returns to London's artist-led Houndstooth label with Loma. Compiling all eight excerpts from the four-part series, this package will see the tracks pressed to vinyl for the first time, accompanied with a brand new, 11-minute extended remix from Brooklyn-based Octo Octa (100% Silk/Running Back/Honey Soundsystem). Opening with the held-back, break-neck stepper of "Simmer", through to the jagged-edge, half time DnB bomb of "Vulpine", and the lightly swung, garage-infused blows of "Subtitles", this marks Ross Tones's most varied and proficient work to date on one of electronic music's most essential imprints. Cut and mastered by Matt Colton at Alchemy.

Double LP version. Embers, the new album from Ross Tones, aka Throwing Snow, is a conceptually imaginative and musically atmospheric recording that draws stimulus from laws and patterns of the natural world. Excelling creatively from the freedom and restrictions of applying aspects of these elements, Embers emerges vividly from the processes employed in its creation. Recorded in Daddry Shield, County Durham, sounds captured in the surrounding area became part of the music. Rain is transformed into white noise, at one point a melody line is mimicked by a starling - all of which is the result of endless processes and cycles. The techniques used in creating Embers allegorically mirror these processes. Reproducing the way materials are reused in the natural world, tracks are born, live and then die only to be reborn into a new form. All the tracks have similar counterparts whether in structure, dynamics or melodies. Arpeggios self-evolve and are interconnected, randomness is introduced utilizing two similar pairs of synthesizers so that their cycles are ever changing and naturally evolving. Mastered by Matt Colton at Alchemy.

Double LP version. Pressed to 180 gram vinyl and housed in a PVC sleeve. Throwing Snow, one of the UK's most unique electronic artists, releases his much-anticipated debut album Mosaic on Houndstooth, following the Pathfinder EP, which drew acclaim from Pitchfork, The Guardian (Track of the Week), DAZED, Quietus and FACT. Throwing Snow spent large parts of 2013 attending Red Bull Music Academy in New York, making numerous Boiler Room appearances and supporting the likes of Bonobo, Atoms For Peace and Jon Hopkins. Mosaic features fellow RBMA attendees Adda Kaleh and KNOX, rising UK songwriters Py and Jassy Grez, while Ninja Tune signee Kid A vocalizes the mesmerizing "Hypnotise." Mosaic combines different influences from instruments and equipment rather than styles and musicians to form a coherent whole with varying sounds of production distilled into something cohesive. Mastered by MPG Mastering Engineer of the Year 2013, Matt Colton at Alchemy. Presented in bespoke PVC sleeve with spot varnish pattern.
