peter has already graced numerous labels with his unique yet constantly evolving studio style. after numerous afterhour situations with the doc family, we caught wind of grummichs new productions. we believe that the therapy ep continues the development of peters uncompromising underground productions. the title track, therapy, is a nine-minute journey into dancefloor dynamics. slowly building with concentrated breaks, therapy works it out and then some. label boss, aaron hedges, has been giving it heavy dj support and has found that its been quite some time since well placed hat crashes can drive an audience crazy. minimal, sexy and sleek, but at 7 minutes the listener is surprised with a full on new-rave lead which takes the song in a different direction. get it is a nice tech-house track with building percussive patterns and highly concentrated synth breakdowns. this track is only for the most sophisticated house djs that know when to drop a track like this. drymilk is a seriously twisted hard minimal track. nasty sound effects and perplexing pitch shifts will keep you guessing. is it genius or insanity? you be the judge!

promise land is a solid deep soulful groove created by koyla. the demo floated around the bombay itunes player for a few of weeks, we needed someone to tear this track up. we tried a couple of options it wasnt working this groove needed something killer. thats were good friend jrod indigo come into play, san fran neo soul singer decides to come into lovely vancouver to hang for a while at bombay studio hq, and thats were the story starts for this track. jrod writes and lays down his song and creates the promise land over koylas ripping hooks and players. everyone is diggin the direction, timmy comes in and throws in some backups, inhouse producers sean dimitrie and nav take all the parts and put together a b side. the awaaz mix takes the track into a late night bumping funky direction with ambient tripped out textures and hard detroit style chords. overall this is a classic style ep with a real organic disco avour, that will never die for us. koyla and jrod are true musicians and deserve the fullest respect in this genre.
