Following the release of his debut album 'Home & Garden,' Jay Shepheard returns to his own Retrofit imprint to present the album's remix EP. Label friends Locked Groove and Jacques Renault remix 'Two Much Love' and 'Type One A' respectively, while Jay takes the reins himself to rework '48 Stacey' and 'Orbis Tertius.' First off, Hot Flush's Locked Groove molds the lush and nostalgic 'Two Much Love' into an epic piano-led journey, complete with acid line and a booming low-end. Let's Play House boss Jacques Renault takes a more subtle approach with 'Type One A,' leaving most of the original intact, but with a rougher, more driving edge to it. While, the album was, as its title suggests, meant for home (and garden) listening, here Jay takes the opportunity to transform '48 Stacey' and 'Orbis Tertius' into something meant solely for the dancefloor. In his 'Bullfrog's at Dawn' mix of '48 Stacey,' Shep eschews the original's uplifting chords and pads in favor of a more eerie, bassline-led stormer. His 'Broken Mix' of 'Orbis Tertius' brings things to a close, adding organs and a more forward groove into the mix.

With releases on Compost, Diynamic, Buzzin Fly, Freerange under his belt, Home & Garden is the debut album from the already established artist Jay Shepheard due for release in early 2013. Shepheard has been releasing 12"s and singles, and remixes steadily since 2007, blending disco and deep house seamlessly into his own unique sound that has seen him nominated for best producer at the Beatport awards on numerous occasions.
Now he delivers an 11 track journey through a wider genre scape, mixing tempos and feeling but adhering to a consistent sound design the album blends the influences that his work has come to represent and is an many ways is a retrospective nod to a culmination of the last 5 years releasing. With an underlying depth of feeling running through the record, the from the looped up sample groove of 'Zippin', the spaced out future disco of 'Signs', the elated retro house of 'Two Much Love' and the slow mo deep pop of 'Here Comes' the album has been designed and conceived to flow as one piece and avoid the all too common trend of '10 club tracks on a CD' that has come to permeate much of the electronic music and deep house album market.
The album will be released on Shepheard's own Retrofit label, the 11th release following on from a string of 12"s featuring along side himself artists including Catz 'n Dogz, Iron Curtis, Matthew Burton, Martin Dawson, Rudy's Midnight Machine (aka Faze Action) and many others. The album will signify a new chapter for the label - moving on from the 'seriers based' first 10 releases all named by catalogue number alone and into new and unexplored territories.

Brilliant chugging groove, with bombastic electro house feel, beautiful synths and a slinky disco touch. Jay Shepheard in his best form. Peak time drama.
