Finest Wear - Night Tales

Colour and Pitch favourite Finest Wear returns to the label with a three track EP packed with dancefloor attitude, entitled Night Tales.

With hot releases on Nite Grooves and Nordic Trax to his name, Finest Wear has made several appearances in the Traxsource top 100 Deep House artists list, and with good reason.

His last EP on Colour and Pitch, ‘The Terminal' was a storming success thanks to lead track ‘Go Deeper', and how he returns to us with with a somewhat tougher, peak-time offering.

'Push Me' sets out the stall nicely, with rolling drums and blunted synth giving way to a tough bassline and a subtle vocal hook.

Techno-influenced ‘Ket Corner' was titled after a group of youngsters the producer spotted, possibly enjoying themselves a little too much, during an outdoor event in the Oxfordshire countryside… Let's just say, it's aptly named.

'The Buzz Dub' returns to the familiar Finest Wear sound, with classic Deep House chords and an effortless groove backing the eerie swarm of synth-wasps trying to escape from the speakers.

Latch - Frida

Colour and Pitch is delighted to present 'Frida', the debut release by Latch, the Brighton based duo of DJ Lee Garrett and musician James Morpeth.

Perfectly encapsulating the melodic, soul-stirring sound Colour and Pitch always strives for, 'Frida' is a subtle, shimmering piece of deep house art, with warm analogue synths meeting rolling percussion in a teasing evolution that satisfies without ever quite reaching crescendo.

Local hero Lee Garrett has a long history in House music, building a well-deserved reputation for both his truly outstanding selections and his technical ability, always staying true to the music without ever resorting to hype or self promotion.

 James Morpeth is talented live musician and producer, with a history in soul, afrobeat, folk, pop, electronica and more.

 Coming together to form Latch, the pair began to blend Morpeth's rich musicality and texture with hypnotic rhythms and soulful colour, all overseen by Garrett's deeply-rooted dance-floor knowledge.

 'Frida' is just the first in a trio of releases from Latch on Colour and Pitch- standby for more.

Daniel Allen - The Mandela Effect

Austin producer Daniel Allen returns to Colour and Pitch with a moody House cut titled 'The Mandela Effect' featuring vocals from Katy Starr, plus remixes from Tibor Dragan and Glass Slipper.

Titled after a theory that parallel realities and dimensions are shifting, causing things to change so that some people remember them to be one way and others remember them another, Daniel and Katy Starr wrote 'The Mandela Effect' after a conversation on the subject in Daniel's studio.

Laden with atmospheric, warm synths and eerie, effected vocals, the original version offers up a smooth, hypnotic House groove with bags of character.

 Hungarian producer Tibor Dragan delivers a tour-de-force remix of 'The Mandela Effect'. Melodic, orchestral and uplifting, this is undoubtedly the finest work we've heard from this brilliant artist to date.

 Glass Slipper may surprise fans with their version of 'The Mandela Effect', eschewing their usual soulful sound for a more stripped down tech-infused House rework.

 To close out the EP, Daniel Allen goes to work under his 'Disappear' moniker, a new home for his downtempo and balearic beats. With an LP dropping later this year, this slo-mo, dubby version of 'The Mandela Effect' is the very first appearance... of Disappear.

Sumsuch - We Are Ordinary

Colour and Pitch label founder Sumsuch returns home with an eclectic 3 track EP titled ‘We Are Ordinary'.

 Opening track ‘We Are Ordinary' is a disco-infused house cut with heavy drums, tight chord stabs and live bass, featuring Jacob Daniels on vocals.

The message is a simple reaction against the age of ego we're living in: "we aren't all that special, in fact, We Are Ordinary."

 Second track ‘Don't Turn Your Back' is a downtempo piano and synth composition, inspired by an interview with a 16-year-old prison inmate in the USA. The piece explores empathy, questioning any society that would simply write off a fellow human.

 The EP closes with analogue deep house cut Maze Hill, a comforting and reflective journey through a warm, inviting sonic landscape with scratchy piano and subtle live guitar melodies leading the way.

Out June 14th on all stores and streaming sites.

Tibor Dragan - I Believe in You

Following first-rate releases and remixes on Rogue Decibels, Ready Mix and Itom to name but a few, Hungarian producer and DJ Tibor Dragan returns to Colour and Pitch with ‘I Believe in You’, a tender and melodic cut, presented with remixes from BiG AL and Gavin Boyce.

Tibor Dragan’s original version of ‘I Believe in You’ is an ethereal, dream-like journey with wistful chords and spine-tingling strings, perfect for moments of reverie on the terrace.

 Boasting a clutch of incredible releases on Nordic Trax and other great labels, we’ve been keen to have Irish producer Gavin Boyce join us on Colour and Pitch for a few years now. It’s been worth the wait- Gavin’s remix of ‘I Believe In You’ is simply a perfectly poised house production; deep in the truest possible sense.

 Ready Mix Records founder and Middle Eastern electronic music pioneer, BiG AL (aka BIGz) turns in a typically thoughtful and smooth rework, setting up a flawless groove before letting Tibor’s original chords ride out during the breakdown.

Finest Wear - Understanding Me

Fresh from well received releases on Nite Grooves, Large and Nordic Trax, Finest Wear returns to his spiritual home of Colour and Pitch with new EP 'Understanding Me', featuring a remix from label founder Sumsuch.

Opening track 'Understanding' is filled with Finest Wear's distinctive warm and subtle deep house atmospheres with rolling percussion, weighty bass and a vocal that tells us what we all know: 'not everyone understands'.

'To The Top' heads into late night hypnotic territory, with rhythmic chords and an insistent groove you can't help but move to. Send the kids out of the room for 'Paradise Lost', a smoothly building track whose climax is echoed by an enthusiastic, wordless vocal sample borrowed, perhaps, from a 'specialist' movie. Rounding off the package, label founder Sumsuch reworks 'Understanding', stripping the track to bare bones and using analogue drums and synths to rebuild it with an old-school feel.

Sumsuch - Hand Me Down Demons

Hand Me Down Demons, an EP by Sumsuch
Colour and Pitch founder and BBE recording artist Sumsuch returns to his own label with brand new solo EP ‘Hand Me Down Demons'. Exploring the power held by ghosts from the past to damage or even destroy our relationships if we let them, ‘Hand Me Down Demons' is split into three distinct movements. Originating as an improvised piano piece, ‘We Should Talk' quickly evolved into a subtle, warm deep house instrumental, with analogue drums and bass providing a bed for plaintive, heartfelt melodies. Title track ‘Hand Me Down Demons' has a grittier character, with a heavily tweaked acid bass-led groove and eerie vocal harmonies creating a dense, late-night club atmosphere. ‘Slipping Under' closes the EP with a simple classical piano composition set over swirling synth atmospheres and distant seagull cries, symbolizing that final, teary-eyed ending. Music-making at its most cathartic, we hope you enjoy this resonant journey from joy to melancholy in the company of some Hand Me Down Demons we've probably all met before.

Tim Tonal - Rhythmic Indulgence

Following his much admired reworking of Wolf Hackmine’s ‘One Three One Four’ back in March 2017, Tim Tonal returns to Colour and Pitch with bipartite bubbler, ‘Rhythmic Indulgence’. Releasing his deeply rooted brand of House music for more than 15 years and collaborating with the likes of Jean Jacques Smoothie along the way, Tim Tonal is best known for his work on DiY Discs as one half of Tonal Fusion and Alpha Dogs.

 As you might expect from such a seasoned artist, ‘Rhythmic Indulgence’ is a masterful House music journey split into two parts, ‘Dark Peak’ and ‘Chemical Metal’. Designed with the golden age of outdoor parties and big sound-systems firmly in mind, ‘Tonal’s Dark Peak Version’ steadily builds a compulsive, driving groove before introducing a teasing acid bassline that takes the track up, up and away. Opening with the same subtle breakbeat, ‘Tonal’s Chemical Metal Version’ quickly adds slightly eerie chord pads, giving the track an altogether more expansive feel with dubby techno influences on display, even when the acid hits.

Also a veteran of the mighty DiY Discs under his ‘Peej’ alias, producer Paul Johnston has hit a rich run of form since premiering his ‘PJ Principle’ moniker with the incredible ‘First Principles’ EP on Pete Woosh’s ‘Spirit Wrestlers’ label in 2015. Rendering us speechless when it arrived in the Colour and Pitch office, PJ Principle’s remix of ‘Rhythmic Indulgence’ is simply a modern classic. Warm and potently harmonious deep house, this inventive reworking also tips its hat to the more melodic moments of classic techno labels like Underground Resistance and Metroplex. Closing out proceedings, Wolf Hackmine (also known as Second City Firsts and Steve ‘Griffo’ at his ‘Splosh’ DJ residency) delivers a smooth, bass-led take on ‘Rhythmic Indulgence’, adding hypnotic filtered synths and lush, retro strings.

Eric Shans - For The Days Ahead

New York’s Eric Shans returns to Colour and Pitch with stunning 4 track EP ‘For The Days Ahead; a timely sequel to last year’s ‘We Choose’. A fixture on Brooklyn’s deep and tech house club circuit, Eric is also creative director for the excellent 3Bridge Records.

As Mr Shans himself puts it, this EP “explores more themes of loss, escapism, moving on, and living in an unsure world. It goes through different moods we might feel even on a daily basis.”

Dreamy opener ‘Eyes Closed’ sets the tone for the EP, with a soothing piano melody over smooth deep house atmospheres. ‘There Is Nothing’ takes a wistful, orchestral turn, playing with Vangelis-like synth melodies and strings over a warm, progressive groove. Sounding like the closing credits to some emotionally charged movie, ‘Torn Apart’ sees Eric Shans performing powerful piano chords and simple, heart-rending vocals. Closing out the EP on a positive note, ‘From That Day On’ moves back toward the dance-floor with tight, bouncy drums and a highly addictive bass-line.

“For The Days Ahead” reminds us we must always, no matter what, keep moving and keep growing, no matter what life throws at us.

Finest Wear - Seeking The Light

Veteran London house producer Cenzo Scoglio aka Finest Wear has been with Colour and Pitch since the label's inception in 2013. The 'Distant Memories' EP was his debut release under the 'Finest Wear' name, a moniker which has been steadily gaining him global recognition ever since. Recent releases on Nordic Trax and Large Music have seen Finest Wear's hypnotic, pure brand of deep house riding high in the Traxsource charts, so we're delighted that he's saved four of his very best tracks for our 30th label release.

The EP opens with 'My Illusion', a dreamy organ & pad-led groove and a bass-line that dreams are made of. 'The Light' sees spine-tingling spoken-word poetry rubbing shoulders with a compelling, angular arrangement. Something a little more expansive follows in the form of 'Time'; a sweeping, feel-good deep house epic with enough bounce for peak time sets. The EP closes with piano house designed to tweak the heartstrings: 'Through The Tears' combines simple chords and an old-school aesthetic, sure to provoke some dance-floor reverie.

“Nice!” - Mark Farina
“The Light....yes indeed!” - Richard Earnshaw
“Excellent, well produced EP with 'Time' being my favourite. Good job.” - Ashley Beedle

Wolf Hackmine - One Three One Four

Buy via Traxsource | Beatport

Wolf Hackmine is one of several alter egos employed by veteran Birmingham DJ and producer Steve ‘Griffo’ Griffiths, now residing in sunny Spain. Encapsulating the darker, techno-inspired side of Steve’s many influences, Wolf Hackmine was born during a New Year studio session as 2013 gave way to 2014, hence the title ‘One Three One Four’. In the three years since its creation, this highly effective acid house workout has become something of a closely guarded weapon shared with only a select few DJs, among them Richard Norris (Beyond The Wizard’s Sleeve) who played the track at his notorious ‘Basement Filth’ event.

 Finally released from the basement, ‘One Three One Four’ finds its home on Colour and Pitch alongside three very special remixes. Perhaps best known for his work on DiY Discs as a member of Alpha Dogs, Nottingham producer Tim Tonal takes the track into classic Deep House territory, subtly filtering those acid lines whilst adding warm, haunting chords and a shimmering piano breakdown. Founder member of pioneering Manchester rave act ‘Together’ turned composer and sound designer, Suddi Raval delivers an effortlessly cool ‘Acid Dub’ version, atmospheric and smooth throughout. Finally, Steve himself returns in his ‘Second City Firsts’ guise to rework the track, raising both intensity and urgency, summoning up classic Hardfloor by adding even more acid into the mix.

Tibor Dragán - Early Bird

Hungarian producer and DJ Tibor Dragán makes his Colour and Pitch debut with Early Bird, a smooth and atmospheric deep house cut, typical of the cinematic and orchestral sound with which he's swiftly building his reputation. ‘Early Bird' is a touching, subtle and highly evocative slice of electronica, thanks for Tibor's sparse composition, spacious arrangement and immaculate production.

Our very own Sumsuch couldn't resist remixing the track, blending many of the original parts with an entirely new creation based around warm, stirring chord pads, weighty bass and uplifting piano in the breakdown.

"Very peaceful and musical composition. Remix is great also. Big ups Tibor." - Ricardo Miranda

Eric Shans - We Choose EP

New York producer Eric Shans is a staple of the city’s electronic music scene, working as creative director at 3Bridge Records and holding down several DJ residencies, most notably inTRANSIT at TBA Brooklyn. His earliest musical inspirations came from watching new wave videos on MTV as a kid, the echoes of which are more than evident within his debut EP for Colour and Pitch.

Title track ‘We Choose’ is an evocative fusion of clean electronic beats, warm chords and 80’s guitar licks, sure to tickle the heartstrings. ‘Keep A Secret’ combines smooth, deep house with classic 303 acid lines, with a subtle vocal gently whispered into the listener’s ear. ‘Is It Tonight’ pays homage to classic new-wave music with its darker, dense aesthetic; haunting yet deeply sensual. ‘Set Us Free’ closes out the EP as it began, resembling ‘We Choose’ somewhat in terms of feel, with stunning, layered vocals performed by Eric himself.

“This EP was created over the course of a few months and goes between the contrasting worlds of hope, sadness, optimism, caution and the idea of feeling free; moving on and letting go for the now and for the future.” – Eric Shans, 2016

Sumsuch & Danny Williams - We Give

Colour and Pitch label owner Will Sumsuch teams up with friend and occasional DJ partner Danny Williams for 'We Give', a dreamy piece of melodic and spiritual deep house. The pair first met in 2008 during the Movida Corona DJ championships, in which Danny was competing and Will had been asked to act as judge for a regional heat. Danny's impeccable mixing and track selection took him all the way to the UK finals that year, making a lasting impression on Will, who continues to rank Danny among his favourite DJs. It took the pair 8 years of spinning records together to finally get into the studio, but the resulting music is worth the wait. Diving in at the deep end for his first ever studio session, Danny supplies poetic spoken word vocals on both tunes, as well as guiding Will's hand on production and arrangement.

Title track 'We Give' is a lazily euphoric deep house piece, combining life-affirming, heavily effected vocals with comforting chords, laid over a heavyweight UK bassline. San Francisco dance music legend Gavin Hardkiss provides an up-tempo, bouncy and twisted interpretation of 'We Give' infused with eerie, other-wordly sounds and that unmistakable West Coast Hardkiss swagger.
A fitting companion to 'We Give', 'Already One' continues in the same melodic, understated vein. The subtle, slow-burning arrangement is surely inspired by Danny's regular trips to Lee Burridge's 'All Day I Dream' events, not to mention the pair's shared love of emotional, spine-tingling breakdowns. Already back in the studio working on new material, we hope you enjoy this maiden voyage from Sumsuch & Williams, an exciting new partnership that’s forming a special musical character of its own.

Andrew Duke - Famous EP

It's truly an honour to present this EP from shadowy underground music hero Andrew Duke. Running his weekly radio mix-show show continuously for almost three decades, the Canadian DJ and producer's commitment to the cause simply cannot be questioned. Having released his own brand of mercurial, original music since '93, the title 'Famous' could be viewed as a tongue-in-cheek reference to Andrew's relative anonymity despite his frankly intimidating resume... Though he's clearly too busy curating and creating great music to worry about such things. First coming to the attention of Colour and Pitch through his dedicated support of our releases on the radio show, we were simply bowled over by the 'Famous EP' when it first arrived in our inbox.

Title track 'Famous' features Chicago spoken word artist Keter Darker, whose voice falls somewhere between Maxi Jazz and Gil Scott Heron in its languid, atmospheric delivery. Hypnotic conga rhythms and bleak synths give a sense of futility to the repeated lyrical refrain; 'everyone wants to be famous'. 'Gonna Make It (Second Nature)' plays with broken vocal snippets over slow-motion rhythms, building gently toward a spine-tingling, chord-laden, afro-tinged and utterly addictive groove. Referencing the political strategy of appeasement, the brilliantly titled 'Bread & Circus (Blind Nation)' moves the EP into late-night club territory, with techno influenced percussion and jazzy rhodes chords providing a sleazy backdrop for more of Keter Darker's powerful wordplay. At Andrew's personal request, Orlando's electronic explorer Q-Burns Abstract Message closes out the EP with a truly special reworking of 'Famous'. Expanding on the unique new sound he employed whilst remixing Sumsuch's track 'Shine' for Colour and Pitch last year, Q-BAM's version of 'Famous' is tense, uplifting, deeply cinematic and pretty much indescribable: just listen.

Sumsuch & Gavin Hardkiss - Standstill

Born of a dream, preserved thanks to a mumbled demo tape and finished off in an unlikely collaboration, Colour and Pitch is proud to present "Standstill," the new single from Sumsuch and Gavin Hardkiss.

Quirky, melodic and lusciously soulful, "Standstill" was conceived when producer and Colour & Pitch owner Will Sumsuch woke up with the melody and chords running through his mind. "Rather than waiting for the synths to warm up, I simply hummed them all into a mic," he says. "The track came together behind them quickly - just two hours. That's fast - probably faster than I've ever managed to in the past."

The final recording retains this homemade, spontaneous feeling, with uplifting lyrics soaring from a hypnotic, immobile hum. Those lyrics are delivered with characteristic passion and optimism by Gavin Hardkiss, who was curious to hear the rough demo and then inspired by the melodies to deliver his vocals on the fly. "Needless to say I was blown away," Sumsuch says. "I said I'd finish it the next morning, but Gavin insisted that we 'finish the thought.' So I stayed up all night polishing the track off."

That strange synchronicity is captured in vivid colours, as Hardkiss' vocals and Sumsuch's minimal chords soar, take flight and almost press through the speakers.

"Standstill" glows with a kind of indescribable warmth and sweet musicality, perfect as we reach the heights of summer.

Sumsuch is the head of Colour and Pitch, a Brighton-based independent record label specializing in handcrafted electronic music from the heart.

Gavin Hardkiss attained fame in the early- to mid-1990s as part of Hardkiss, the notorious San Francisco DJ collective and record label, as well as a solo artist under the moniker Hawke.

Standstill is available now from iTunes Traxsource Beatport & Juno

Sumsuch - The Dust Bowl EP

The Dust Bowl is a concept EP of sorts, drawing inspiration from the Great Depression in the American Midwest as a commentary on today's musical climate. With a general redistribution of wealth away from artists and toward giant tech companies, underground music could conceivably be facing a ‘dust bowl' scenario of its own.

 As Sumsuch puts it: "So many DJs and producers are ploughing the same dry furrows of social media, fake success and delusional hopes, whilst the reality is a barren landscape, plundered of all nutrients and substance. Those of us who've always lived here know how to survive, but it's a tough environment."

 Brooding opening track ‘Dust Bowl Dreams' could not embody the concept more fully, dominated by swirling, whooshing synth atmospheres and eerie chord fragments. Sumsuch took the decision to perform the filter sweeps and arrangement live in order to add even more tension and grit. ‘Guiding Light' offers a beacon of hope, an escape from the desolation of The Dust Bowl. Warm bass and haunting piano chords make this Deep House gem feel comforting and familiar. "Could you be my guiding light?" ask Sumsuch's heavily effected lyrics. Following is the only way to be sure.

Q-Burns Abstract Message - QBAM RMX1

It’s both an honour and a privilege for us at Colour and Pitch to present this selection of previously unreleased remixes from leftfield production hero Q-Burns Abstract Message. Since remixing our debut release (‘Simpatico’ by Sumsuch), we’ve built a close relationship with the mercurial Orlando artist, and our constant pestering for more music has finally paid off. Rescued from obscurity and lovingly remastered, RMX1 is made up of vintage Q-BAM reworks that never saw the light of day for one reason or another. It’s been a true labour of love tracking down the original artists and getting deals agreed, but one listen to this EP makes all the hard work worthwhile.

 Opening the EP is a breaksy, atmospheric and psychedelic version of Church Williams’s 2013 indie-pop gem ‘Touch The Sun’. Next up Q-BAM tackles ‘Absence’ by underground trip-hop/synth pop collective ‘The Antirealists’, supplying a bass driven, shoe-gazing indie-dance interpretation, which is as addictive as it is unique. The brilliantly named ‘Japanese Insanity’ receives a percussion-led, driving workout, taking their track ‘The Lobster’ into hypnotic dancefloor territory. The remix of Robert McCoy’s ‘Damascus’ builds steadily into a trippy Deep House bubbler, off-kilter in the best possible way. Last but by no means least, Mathew Scot’s ‘Trauma’ is re-imagined in a style reminiscent of West Coast House music during its mind-expanding golden era. Brimming with inventiveness and creativity, these 5 remixes see Q-Burns Abstract Message at his vintage, genre-defying best; somehow managing to sound cerebral and visceral all at once. We hope you enjoy this special selection of truly unique electronica: Q-BAM has assured us there are more hidden gems in his vaults, so watch out for RMX2!

Finest Wear - From The Garden EP

Gradually gathering a strong international following for his effortlessly deep sound, London producer Finest Wear returns to Colour and Pitch for his third EP on the label. Title track ‘From The Garden’ is first up, packed with wholesome, inviting pads and smooth percussion building steadily into a deeply satisfying groove. ‘If It Were Jazz’ introduces dreamy spoken word into the mix over a truly beguiling track, which sounds to us like a long-lost classic. ‘In a Dream’ is a low slung, techno-infused affair, with a booming bass-line and hypnotic synths. Showing his moodier side, Finest Wear closes out the EP with ‘Thunder’, surely a delight for those who like a little darkness in their Deep House.

 Lovingly premastered onto analogue tape, we’ve attempted to retain the warm and imperfect sound of House music the way it always used to sound: in our opinion, the way it should sound.

 For fans of: Jimpster, Stacey Pullen, Spiritchaser, freshly mown grass and springtime.

Tinted Sounds Vol.1 - Winter 2014

Celebrating our first full year in existence, we are proud to present three wintery highlights from our first few releases, which might have passed you by the first time around.

First up is Myles Serge’s sublime, mournful, melodic techno remix of our debut release ‘Simpatico’. It’s been a massive year for Michigan native Myles, with his first ever set at the legendary Berghain club in Berlin, as well as a raft of quality releases across the techno World. We can’t wait to have him back on the label, but until then we’ll leave you with this very special track.

If Colour and Pitch is a family, then Finest Wear must surely be the daddy. His two EPs on the label have defined our sound, as well as gaining critical acclaim and heavyweight support. We’ve chosen an underrated gem from his debut EP ‘Distant Memories’ to showcase here.

Finally, Czech duo A-Bee & Tom Vagabondo complete our package with a remix of Teysel’s ‘Continuous’. Dark, moody and full of attitude, this is a perfect tune for a cold weather stomp.
Until 2015, have a happy, safe and restful Holiday Season.

The EP is out now on iTunes Beatport & Traxsource
