das amerikanische label tri angle hat sich seine nische innerhalb der neuen elektronischen musik mit erfolg erobert. künstler wie balam acab liefern remixes für pop-stars wie charli xcx, kanye west lässt sich einige seiner neuen beats von evian christ programmieren. dennoch sind die veröffentlichungen von tri angle stets von einer kompromisslosigkeit geprägt, die sich in der klangsprache niederschlägt. die neueste entdeckung namens boothroyd macht da keinerlei ausnahme. metallisch verzerrte sphärenklänge mischen sich mit tonnenschweren beats. die stücke entbehren strukturell gängigen pop-schemen, dafür tragen sie den hörer wie ein soundtrack durch verschiedenste stimmungen. peter boothroyd stammt aus manchester, lebt in london und setzt mit dieser ep ein ausrufezeichen, nachdem seine tracks zuvor im internet für viel furore gesorgt haben.

for more than ten years soul jazz records have been exploring and documenting the sound of new orleans funk. now we turn their attention to the flipside of this musical coin - new orleans soul. these two musical forms share a lineage that begins with the citys enormous rhythm and blues explosion in the post-war 1940s and 1950s. new orleans soul incorporated the soulful vocals of the gospel church, the driving beat of rhythm and blues, as well as traces of the second-line parade bands and the latinized rhythms of the city. this album tells the story of new orleans soul and comes complete with extensive sleevenotes, exclusive photography, supreme sound quality and comes as super-heavy, super-loud limited-edition double vinyl album + download code.

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.
