The second tribute to one of Pittsburgh’s three rivers, the “Mon Acid” EP is 3 mixes of Acid-infused techno - a followup to 2013’s “Allegheny Acid” EP. The A cut features morphing 303 lines, uplifting pads and leads, and a warm, sustained bassline perfect for unleashing euphoria on the dancefloor. The “Edit for Gusto” version is for Gusto of Detour Pittsburgh, Hot Mass resident and long time Machine Age Studios affiliate, whose CDJ looping antics of the original inspired a tight, driving arrangement around a short, punchy bassline for max impact. The “Deep” mix flips everything underwater with aquatic pads and chord echoes, rounding out the release. More

Pittsburgh Track Authority have been making waves the last couple of years following brilliant releases on some of the best underground house labels around such as Uzuri, Argot, Finale Sessions as well as their own Pittsburgh Tracks imprint. Last year saw their debut LP Enter The Machine Age gain them further fans and we invited them to remix Nils Penner’s I Can Be for which they delivered an absolute beast. The Pittsburgh based collective are as comfortable making disco-influenced grooves as they are funk- infused techno so when they offered us Your Situation with a view to doing an EP we jumped at the chance. Lead track Your Situation is one of those subtle, slow burners that comes completely alive on a big system. The minimal drums and simple string stabs combining to create a simple and spacious groove to get locked into. Classic, proper house music with that raw Omar S touch which when it’s done well, creates pure magic. Flipping over we have Rt. 28 which builds around a shuffling, percussive groove, simple repeating rhodes chords and one bar synth riff. Once again, the PTA boys inject that authentic Detroit influenced sound, keeping things refined and focussing on the nuts and bolts and avoiding any clutter. Closing this characterful release we have Gold Trim which as the name suggests has a more loungey vibe to it with plenty of live instrumentation and a loose, jazzy feel. More

Finale Sessions is pround to bring you another fine release with none other them Pittsburgh Track Authority they have been heating things up at the moment and we are great full to have them on label and this release is a gem for sure and we start with the first cut called "Missile 2" It is my favorite of the ep for sure with its rolling drums and its acid based textures a must have peak time jam then we have " Cara Cara" no holds bar jam with a no holds bar approach to drums and rhythm a must have for the later times of the night .

Artist Statement:
Conduit contains moments from the last two or so years of my life. There have been a lot of trying times and ups and downs in there. These moments are the exhaust of that life. Some more subjective than others. We are simply conduits for whatever flows through our cores. We tap into it. We allow it to flow through us. As it takes shape, we select its forms and hone its output. We are simply conduit for our work. Maintain the Flow State.
