topping off another slow year at assistance hq, mr assister channels some slightly darker shades for the second release on beam, aimed squarely in the vague direction of the dance floor. in masonic forest , a rabble of delirious bongos get blown off course, trudging endlessly through the tangled grounds of the grand lodge. down below on jordan , drums pound incessantly and chants echo from the murky distance, valiant but ultimately inert on their futile march to nowhere.

jordan peak makes a stellar return to the air london imprint this september with the >cause for concern ep<, a three-track collection from the london based producer. the ever on-point jordan peak has been continually delivering striking and versatile material over the past four years, releasing records via some leading labels in underground house and techno, such as tsuba, robsoul, bass culture and one records. here we see jordan return to the air london label, following his its time / hanging by a thread ep on the imprint last year.
operating from the heart of brooklyn, ny, the latest artist to sign up to ornate is jordan, whose plush deep house sound has already surfaced via a collaboration with fred p on the deep explorer compilation far & beyond. living on the border of the bushwick and ridgewood neighbourhoods, the title of the ep is a nod to the difference jordan sees between his own spiritual, detailed work and the trend for rougher analogue sounds that have been sweeping the city he calls home. with a focus on expressive, richly melodic synths and delicately balanced rhythms, his music stands apart from the wave of guttural lo-fi sonics, and yet this is still house music with that east coast punch where it counts. with an imminent release for the noted finale sounds imprint establishing jordan well within the remit of high-end house and techno, it gives us great pleasure to present these exercises in soulful immersion, from the three 4/4 driven pieces to the ambient vignette -visage-. with the door open for more experimental interpretations, it made perfect sense to invite former ornate guest leif back to turn out a remix of the track, his own hushed tones having recently graced a critically-acclaimed debut album for fear of flying. it s the ideal complement to an ep of highly developed musicianship that spells another exciting step forward for both jordan and ornate.

a year and a half in the making – well, spiritually at least – the air jordan ep soundtracks a 2010 roadtrip through a captivating country, just before the instant rush that became last years fever album and subsequent when in doubt label launch. based on field recordings taken in various bustling city centres, rugged desert landscapes, peaceful cornfields, lively amphitheatres, abandoned villages and ancient temples, the ep’s four tracks capture glimpses of jordans stark and desolated scenery as well as its warm and vivid spirit, channelled and reinterpreted through a simple recording device and a sampler. we hope you enjoy the results as much as we enjoyed travelling.
