Fina’s next release comes from Mathew Ferness, an exciting and already hotly tipped rising star for just his second ever EP. It features three tracks that showcase his musical house style with a remix from Helsinki’s Saine. Ferness hails from a small town near Montreal in Quebec, where he was an outcast obsessed with music. With no access to record shops, parties or scenes Mathew started taking matters into his own hands DJing in his teens taking inspiration from J Dilla, he soon began producing his own beats on a sampler and drum machine. An exploration of analogue sounds, DAWS and most recently electronic music have all lead him to the rich sound he has now. His last EP on Beat changers was championed by Rhythm Section International and Radio 1 tastemaker Bradley Zero and this latest EP is likely to prove just as popular. Pad laced opener ‘Escapade’ is a summery deep house jam with breezy acoustic guitar and warm, punchy drums of the sort to get any floor cutting loose. ‘Solitude’ is more paired back, with thoughtful piano keys laid over deep rolling drums. There is a musical romance and beauty to the synths that elevate this one above purely functional fodder, and then ‘At First Sight’ awakens your senses once more with broad synth smears and perfectly rough-edged drums which create pure deep house soul. Saine is a producer with a range that goes from hazy hip hop to dusty house on labels like Odd Socks, Andy Hart’s Voyage and this one before now. After his 2017 EP Mint, he returns with a remix that is bubbly and laden with colourful melodies and open-air house grooves.
This is EP full of rich house music that is for mind, body and soul. More

Guber releases his first EP on Paris based label Beat X Changers at the intersection of Ambiant and mental UK Bass music. The whole project is held by alternation of Slope / Release of sub-frequency and obsessional loop that dye each tracks. Anisotropic Expression is a first work that could be seen here as an draft representation of the behavior of surrounding matter. Non musical influences therefore are brought here by the the study of properties of materials expressed in a musical statement. Raw obsessional patterns, evolving and rolling out over the headroom could be seen as the emulation of many deformation models. Shaping of stereo and arrangement have been handled with the help of the sound engineer & producer X_1 leading to home or club-listening experience as well. Guber is been into music by listening & playing some music of the 70’s and trash-metal that drove him straight to UK Bass music. Since there he is only focusing on spontaneous creation showing faithfull perception of thoughts, leading to a higher level of singularity.

Paris-based Beat X Changers brings up to you a new record with a collaborative project in the shape of classic cuts.Our new release introduces two new French artists brought together on a split EP: Tell from Paris and Name from the sunny Avignon city, both of them backed- up by exclusive remixes from three of our historical Beat X producers: Neue Grafik and Pulkone (aka X_1 & Monomite).On the A-side, discover Tell - a 20-year old jazz drummer - who releases two soulful and melodic tracks. You’ll recognize the heat of the MPC grain, obsessing samples and uplifting breaks. On the B-side, Southern producer Name offers a disco-like and funky house music via two dancing tracks with a clear reference to the clubbing universe of New York and Chicago. This activist Dj and experimented producer – he is an Ableton teacher on the side – gained recognition in the South of France music scene in the last decade and reached the ears of producer Kink.Grand Écart (i.e. wide gap or split) recalls the time it took to release this EP. It’s also a geographical gap, a gap between the ideas of the five artists brought together on this release, a gap between our expectations and the reality of some passed – or cancelled – venues in Paris. We have always believed in this project and in our flexibility

Two years after releasing his first EP, X_1 pursues his exploration of the connections between electronic codes and sounds related to space, stories or emotions. This disc is teinted with Electroacoustic influences and its three tracks, "Le Glitch", "Happy Hifi" & "Tangente a l’Ouest" each have their own identity. They are all indeed dedicated to both dancing and meditating. This disc aims to generate proper listening moments and emotions wether you’re in a club, at home, in the street, alone or with some friends. Three colored wanderings that came out of this young producer’s mind.
