2nd release for retrofit brings 4 deep collaboration-cuts by matthew burton, kate rathod and jay shepheard.

fear of flying kick off the new year with the next instalment in their vinyl only series, enlisting the talents of matthew burton & kate rathod. ‘cyberg’ has an atmosphere so thick you can cut it with a knife, a vocoded vocal and haunting pads imbuing the track with a distinct 4am feel. ‘mr magpie’ ups the ante slightly with swung percussion and fx. the lofty kick drum and twinkling synths of ‘8 minute abs’ and the subtle deep houser ’hammer top logo feature on the b side. part 1 of 2.

the shifted flow 002 ep sees another diverse release from matthew burton & kate rathod. the five tracker also has a couple of collaborations. a2 sees matthew team up with friend, tattooist, and lover of all things analog, bangla design (george from the island of cyprus). while on the flip side b1 sees matthew & kate along side their favourite producer and old friend blm. the whole ep is packed full of moody atmospheric textures and vibes which can be enjoyed at home spaced out or on a dark sweaty dance floor in equal measure

hot on the heels of jay shepheards well received debut album home & garden, retrofit rolls on by welcoming a pair of duos to the label: the berlin/hamburg connection known as session victim, and a couple of hotly tipped london boys called casino times

so this is the first release from myself and kate rathod s new vinyl label which we started so that we could release our more diverse music. this ep ranges from ambient and electronica on one side through to two solid techno tracks on the flip side. future releases will see collaborations with blm, nick lawson, bangla design and more.
- matthew burton

matthew burton & kate rathod are the next duo to leave their distinctive mark on the visionquest imprint. delivering a deep and dreamy melodic work out with softly fractured beats and reverberating vocals >the flip side ep< is three wintry cuts of understated house music

just over a year after it launched, jay shepeards retrofit presents its fifth release, with the label boss teaming up once again with matthew burton for a quartet of classy deepness you would expect from the imprint.

next up on chord jay shepheard drops 2 original, neatly programmed percussive deep house cuts with 2 remixes from chord residents dudley strangeways and matthew burton.

matthew burton’s charismatic vielen donk ep is the first release from berlin imprint chord records. four off-kilter techno charmers from the british producer’s analogue world.

** ltd 2016 repress ** the next release on fofs deeper house offshoot sees the labels roster swell to include two producers who are ascending the ranks, their recent >gruff it< track on the hotter than hot >visionquest< label has turned a heads and they look set to continue their upward trajectory. matthew has also released solo projects on john shepheards >retrofit< label as well as providing the debut release for sammy ds >ultrastretch< label. not only that but matthew is currently in the middle of his summer residency at berlins much revered club der visionaere. >take me away< is a pure slice of chord driven deep house and as such is a slight departure for the duo, the melodies inclining towards more melancholic feelings. remixes come from recent fof favourite scahtrax who strips the track right back, injecting a booming bass heavy kick drum & atmospherics to lend the track a more hypnotic tone. label co-owner blm injects a dubbier feel into his take on the flip. finally, matthew burton goes solo for >tell them phill sent ya< - a loose limbed dancefloor workout reminiscent of perlon in their pomp.

already supported by m.a.n.d.y., audiofly, catz n dogz, franck roger, luna city express and many more!

remixes coming from laura jones, inxec and tolfrey & russo.

we are happy to announce the first release from ultrastretch featuring nottingham-born and now london- based artist matthew burton. a – who loves yous short, sharp hats and robotesque samples build slowly and aloofly to what becomes a somehow familiar and nostalgically tinted style. it is in fact, sampled from the 1987s >the running man< soundtrack, originally composed by harold faltermeyer and picked and plucked apart by matthew burton to make it into his own. the epic synth riff melted with its strong kick and tightly sprung sound corners are eerie and atmospheric. >who loves you< resonates with all of us with its clear 80s feel thats been manipulated into a new and exciting piece of underground music from matthew burton. b – small winner takes us on another journey all together. a deceivingly kicky intro steers us into a combination of swooning orchestral brass and delicate jazzy piano keys who share their space with a crunchy and inviting rhythmic stride. its cleverly concocted instrumental experimentation lends its listeners ear towards the smooth ambience while the hypnotic beat keeps us subconsciously moving. dramatic pauses, a syncopated yet soothing orchestral fusion build >small winner< into an original and intriguing musical piece.
