For the tenth release on Tief Music, the label enlist one of London's most respected and under-sung producers, Mr Beatnick. ‘Church Street Blues’ Follows on nicely from Beatnick’s first EP on the label; ‘Marshmallows’, which received support from the likes of Gerd Janson, Leon Vynehall, Midland, Massimilano Pagliara but to name a few. TIEF010 offers two emotive originals and a remix from Mister Saturday Night regular, Nebraska.
The title track is signature Beatnick. Crisp, perfectly swung percussion, plodding bass lines, off-kilter string samples and atmospheric pads.
Epic in parts, ‘Dawn Vapours’ sits nicely in line with the A1, stuttering drum machines, angelic pads and whirling effects. Nebraska is drafted in for the remix of ‘Church Street Blues’, chopping the string sample, adding congo loops with plenty of groove and heavy weight sub bass to the track, gearing it up nicely for club use.

The second Ep on Tief Music takes a slightly different approach incorporating african influences and sounds. Prophets of the south is the production project shared by Cape Town native 'Esa Mervin Granger' and Glasgow's 'Ooft'. Ooft, already an established producer in his own right releasing and remixing on labels such as 'Instruments Of Rapture' and 'Lets Play House' and Esa, one half of the 'Auntie Flo' live show, who is fast becoming recognized as an innovative solo beat maker producing 'african influenced' deep house and releasing on labels such as Burek and his own Rememory imprint met in Glasgow when Esa relocated there from Cape Town a few years back. Esa's African influences and talent for live percussion coupled with Ali Ooft's masterful production skills have come together to create some truly original pieces of music. A1 - The title track 'Ek Maak Julle Dance' means 'I make you dance' in Afrikaans, and it does exactly that. Its uses off beat chord staps along with hypnotic synth sounds to conjure up a ravey afro-house track well adapt for a peak time dance floor. B2 - Portable is originally from the same area of Cape Town as Esa which made him a fitting choice for remix duties. His mix of 'Ek Maak Julle Dance' offers an alternative mood to the original. Portable (aka Bodycode) employs his masterful production skills and programming to create a slightly off kilter but incredibly addictive and mesmerizing track that slowly progresses cleverly capturing the feeling and soul of the original. B1 - 'Boesman Lambada' is a beautifully deep, melodic, rhythmic track which combines lush synths with tuneful Marimba melodies and an eerie lo-fi vocal sample. B2 - 'Die Plain' is a slightly more up beat but equally atmospheric track harnessing a powerful driving bassline, sparing vocal samples and irresistible rhythms so typical of South African produced house music, a perfect example of two sounds coming together and meeting in the middle.
