wake up! records is proud to announce rise and fall, the debut ep by ian oakley, a new talent from toronto. skewing acid-tinged house with languid, lopsided grooves, rise and fall weaves a mix of dubbed-out elements into a unique, intuitive whole. “thumbs” evokes a liminal space perfectly suited for late night cruises and hypnotized foors. “rise and fall” stays true to its name, a slippery bassline ebbing and fowing against a elegantly mellow beat. on the b-side, “bug jam” indulges oakley’s electro side, while label co-owner benjamin brunn remixes “rise and fall,” reimagining the original as a spacious, kosmiche slow burner. rise and fall is a confdent debut, as potent in headphones as on the decks and a welcome edition to the growing wake up! catalogue.
