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.

fracture is a new label which aims to release quality music on a medium we care about. this is why we chose to work with matt colton from alchemy mastering, and also why we decided to put only one track per side of a 180 gram vinyl. after a first ep earlier this year by berlin s i/y, this second release features signalweiss, one of the alias of prolific and talented italian artist dario tronchin (also known as chevel), here supported by a remix of milton bradley.the past years have seen dario exploring many directions, from intelligent dancefloor tracks to surprising housy & technoesque pieces. artificial is another occurrence of him blurring the lines between different genres, dreamy and abstract, it successfully creates a refreshing and unique atmosphere. milton bradley skillfully brings artificial completely into the realms of techno, keeping the original s track attention to space and melody, the track in his hands turns into a mental and punishing dancefloor bomb.
