Edinburgh (via Bristol) producer, DJ and balearic psychonaut takes us on a playful exploration
through his cosmic arboretum on the Memory of Stolen Bush EP, with four of his own tracks and a
very tasty remix from Berlin’s Glenn Astro. Café Lotito draws us into a world of atmospheric chug with
dreamy whistles, rich, saturated pads and sneaky acid lines sitting atop a tasteful break and a steady,
thudding kick. Gottlieb’s Lament drops the tempo further, into a shimmering, melancholic lagoon of
dubby psychedel ia, with marimbas and melodicas dancing amongst the mournful, lysergic synth work.
The B side steps straight into the dance with the EP’s namesake In The Shadow Of The Oleander, a
pulsing, acidic drum machine workout, bustling with percs and bleeps and cru nchy rhythms, all set to
a backdrop of soaring pads and drifting harmonics. Glenn Astro’s remix of Oleander pumps things up
into an epic, maximalist realm with huge synth lines and a squarely pounding rhythm section turning
the playful roller into a peak ti me thumper. Finally the digital bonus track Memories of Hare uses
surrealist snippets of colour to pay tribute to a much missed former Bristol haunt, dropping the tempo
back down and putting melody and atmosphere front and centre, with a ghostly marimba l eading the
procession beside staccato guitars and shimmering synths unknown.
