The Roof E.P. is Out Now!
My new “The Roof” E.P. on my good friend Amber Long’s Modern Agenda label is now available at Beatport. A big thanks in advance to everyone who supports the release and has supported my music all along, and to Amber and Robert for actually making it happen.
The three track E.P. features the title track “The Roof”, “A Long Year” and “Days of Kindness”. Here is a few insights into the making of each track…
Track 1: The Roof
The first track attempts to capture the vibe of the Be Roof rooftop bar I regularly DJ at here in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, with its relaxed pool-side vibe and beautiful sunsets. Originally started as a vocal track with a different title, this progressive house number has morphed into the track it is today over the course of the past year.
Track 2: A Long Year
The second track on the release with its deep tech sounds gets a little dark and nasty, reflecting on a period of time in the studio that was a struggle creatively. It took a long time to really get the right feeling and energy into the final piece, but I think I finally got it.
Track 3: Days of Kindness
The final track on the E.P. is a warmer, deep trance take featuring a soft spoken sample by the legendary Canadian poet and singer, Leonard Cohen. Originally constructed as a progressive trance track with the hopes of signing onto a label I’ve had other releases on, it unfortunately was rejected and thus was sent back to the drawing board, where I toned a few things down and added more depth and mood. It’s secretly my favourite out of the three tracks so I hope you all like it!
