The Lionoil pride reascends with a four-tracker from Edinburgh’s Telfort. His first EP for Lionoil arrives on the back of a triptych of sold out self-releases, which gained adulation and support across the globe from folks like Move D, Axel Boman, Smallpeople, Moxie, Tim Sweeney, Jane Fitz, Jacques Renault and many more. With Telfort’s “Rooms For Speculation”, he delivers four versatile deep house cuts on a label he is no stranger to. Having appeared on the very first Lionoil 12” he regularly features on their line-ups and forms an integral part of the family’s party force in Edinburgh and further afield. The title track opens with rapturous piano chords and stirring sample-work, before deploying burly bass stabs under wholesome rhodes deepness. “Some Other Time” accelerates on, sweeping through layers like a dreamy dystopian car chase. On the flip, “Barberweed” turns the temperature up to ‘peak summer scorcher’ as dulcet samples float above another of Telfort’s boundless basslines tempered with those spiky 909s. Lastly, “Exploding Car” mellows off the EP, despatching a warming orchestra of dusty strings, a driving weapon for the warmup. This essential summer record is undoubtedly Telfort’s most accomplished to date, cementing his deep idiosyncratic style. More

Telfort returns with a third 12” on his own imprint, following the aptly titled debut ‘In A Good Place’ and stellar follow-up ‘Lickety Split’.

Telfort makes a hugely welcome return after the success-and-repress of his self-released debut, the aptly titled ‘In A Good Place’ and appearance on the slick Lionoil Industries imprint. The Edinburgh-based powerhouse makes a strong impression once again with a further hand-stamped, limited pressing of two stellar cuts. The tense emotional drive of ‘Lickety Split’—where deep, colourful chords float and fold sublimely over a stomping club-ready foundation and penetrating bassline—conjures up images of a transcendent moment to be shared with friends and strangers be it at Robert Johnson, Corsica Studios, or an imagined open-air setting heavy on sunlight beaming through trees. On the flip we hear the dusty and melodic warmth of ’Snaps’ exhibit Telfort's uncanny knack of crafting tough-yet-delicate grooves that mesmerise and enchant us. Garnering notable support from the likes of Hunee, Axel Boman, Smallpeople, Bicep, Moxie, Krysko, Matt Karmil, Dan Beaumont, Fudge Fingas, Rroxymore and many more, the hotly tipped Telfort continues to carve out his own niche in house music with his inimitable mix of subtle rhythmic wisdom and guile.

Telfort kicks off with a limited white label release showcasing two sublime cuts with a unique signature sound and undeniable character. From the colourful and ethereal ‘In A Good Place’, with its fluttering and morphing flutes breezing against an ever-present warm thudding kick, to the club-ready percussive stomper that is ‘The Weather Up There’, Telfort quietly but firmly makes an entrance into the club with this release and etches out his own place as a producer to watch the every move of. Previous releases include ‘Outskirts’ on the Witness Music EP02 featured on XLR8R; and Bansuri Tapes EP with support from LuckyMe, Moxie, Joseph Marinetti, The Blessings, Denis Sulta, Mamiko Motto and as heard on various Rinse FM and NTS shows, including his own appearance on NTS in 2014.
