JACKTONE RECORDS is pleased to announce our 13th release: a 12” from seasoned San Francisco psychedelic house producer, Roche.
Roche showcases that he is at the top of his game, crafting absorbing sun-kissed leftfield house/techno that gets inside your head with its beautiful hazy melodies, supported by creative and layered drum programming. A deep haze of hardware/digi psychedelia glues the project together, pressing the listener to play the tracks one more time.

The ICEE HOT label has never been busier, and that active streak is set to continue with another new addition to the roster: San Francisco producer Roche (a.k.a. Ben Winans). Having previously released music on Hieroglyphic Being's Mathematics imprint and 100% Silk, Roche comes to ICEE HOT with quite an impressive resume, and this two­ track outing is the latest chapter in what's quickly becoming an excellent body of work. The a­-side offers an enticingly tripped­ out journey; full of swirling synths and twisting techno rhythms, "Depths" clocks in at more than 11 minutes in length, but every second is worth savouring. On the flip side, "Seers" brings the proceedings back to Earth with its snapping snares and insistently funky bassline, although the track's alien melodies do keep things enjoyably odd.
