Spil London Concept

Jack Swift ‘Elevate EP’

Artist: Jack Swift
Title: Elevate EP
Remixer: James Dexter and Jeremy Sylvester
Label: SPIL RECORDS
Cat. #: SPILREC001
Format: Digital
Release Date: 18th November 2022
Tracklist
1. Elevate
2. That’s It Mate
3. That’s It Mate (James Dexter Remix)
4. That’s It Mate (Jeremy Sylvester Vintage Rub)

SPIL RECORDS launches with label founder Jack Swift’s ‘Elevate’ EP, with the Londoner backed by remixes from Inermu boss James Dexter and garage legend Jeremy Sylvester.
Early support incl. Jamie Jones, Enzo Siragusa, Richy Ahmed, Archie Hamilton, Chris Stussy, Josh Butler, Franky Rizardo…

One of the scene’s most talented and technical individuals behind the decks and an artist building his reputation as an established producer, London-based talent Jack Swift is getting ready to level things up further following an impressive twelve months. Having released material via AVTR, Politics Of Dancing, Inermu, and Make You Move Records, his next release welcomes the launch of a new project in the form of his own label, SPIL RECORDS. Showcasing the sounds of his hometown and its influences within house and beyond, the first release welcomes an impressive array of talent with the label boss delivering two fresh originals backed by remixes from Inermu head-honcho and close friend James Dexter, and highly influential house and garage icon, Jeremy Sylvester.

‘I’ve always wanted to create a platform which would give me complete freedom as an artist as well as the opportunity to build a community of like-minded producers and close friends. The ethos is simple; high-quality house music (with a healthy dose of garage) mirroring my formative years listening to the pirates of London in the mid-‘90s and beyond!’ – Jack Swift

The title track ‘Elevate’ showcases Swift’s growing sound, fusing traditional House with UK and US Garage influences, combining hazy pads and sweeping leads with skippy drums and an infectious core groove. Next, ‘That’s It Mate’ builds on things as dubby chords guide tough kicks, heavy low-end sonics, and further swirling cosmic melodies. James Dexter’s take on ‘That’s It Mate’ sees the UK favourite draw for two-step percussion arrangements and a murky and menacing bassline, before Jeremy Sylvester closes the show in style with his ‘Vintage Rub’ – harnessing resonant organs and soulful vocal interjections to journey into classic UK Garage territories.

Orly Gal ‘Just Ise’

Artist: Orly Gal
Title: Just Ise
Label: HDDNSYMBLS
Cat. #: HSR001
Format: Digital
Release Date: November 18th 2022
Tracklist:
01. Just Ise
02. Just Ise (Insider’s Ponderous Cut)

HDDNSYMBLS is a new peak time techno record label from Orly Gal who has previously worked with labels such as Kaiserdisco’s KD RAW.

Based in the American city of Los Angeles, Orly Gal has built up a reputation for having a dark and driving style of hypnotic techno that has got industrial undertones.

Already an established DJ in her local club scene, she has been building a global fanbase with the help of her releases on record labels such as Ushuaia Music and BLOK.

The release features an explosive original track alongside a remix by veteran artist Insider, who has been releasing music since the ’90s on labels ranging from Bonzai Classics to the iconic Belgian imprint Music Man Records.

Opening the release is the original mix of “Just Ise” which blends fast-flowing percussion with the frantic intensity of the mesmerising lead synth. Augmented with industrial bursts, it has got a dark and sinister atmosphere while also packing one hell of a punch.

Insider’s remix makes more prominent use of the original’s melody synth and beefs up the percussion with thrashing hi-hats and the addition of a stabbing melody. This timeless remix draws reference from the classic sound of ’90s techno.

Label: Future Classic
Cat. #: FCL543
Format: Digital
Release Date: November 18th 2022
Tracklist:
1. Heirloom
2. I Don’t Mind (feat. bailey)
3. Fear [Edit] 4. Echo

6. Who Are You
I Don’t Mind (Instrumental)

UK producer KISLO delivers debut EP Heirlooms. KISLO says; “Heirlooms is inspired by my musical, creative and personal experiences. I want to provide a ’tasting session’ for listeners – each track is a memoir coloured by sound and visual art. I grew up travelling widely and listening to a range of electronic acts, from Faithless to BICEP, Moby to Rufus Du Sol, all which I’ve ended up absorbing influence from. Each of these ‘heirlooms’ are my own, but the focus for each song was the emotion I was feeling at the time, and what came out in that moment. I hope it resonates in a similar way for listeners.”

Oscar L ‘Alive’

Artist: Oscar L
Title: Alive
Label: Arcane
Cat. #: arc021
Format: Digital
Release Date: November 18th 2022
Tracklist:
1) Let Me Take You
2) Alive
3) Isolate

Techno music heavyweight Oscar L gets released on Eli Brown’s Arcade with ‘Alive’, a dense sounding three track release. The deep and large kickdrums are dominant in each production as some monotoid drum patterns, loops that become functional thanks to the introduction of various synths or pads, instruments that add variance all over the song structure. Aside the title track ‘Isolate’ reveals to be the most intriguing creation of the EP: there a high tension is build in the main breakdown, a sensation which explodes just after the drop with the introduction of an electro bassline.
