2019 is shaping up to be a great year yet with more of the same focus on championing new and emerging artists; alongside the more established. But before all that.. Belfast is the first port of call as DJ and producer Jordan delivers a variety of party thumpers. With thanks to AVA festival and the invincible Bicep going from strength to strength; the Belfast scene is enjoying a moment with the likes of Bobby Analog, Cromby and Hammer all breaking through to greater recognition. Jordan has equally been keeping busy between releases on Abandon Silence and launching his own edits label through Lobster Theremin.. So the stars are aligning for this release, which typifies what the label is about. Each track could easily be the ‘A1’ and it’s already been doing the damage with the likes of Tim Sweeney, Erol Alkan and a select few, until now.. Expect to hear much more from each over the year ahead. More

Three original electronic workouts with two remixes by Tuff City Kids aka Gerd Janson & Lauer. Early support from Bicep, Ejeca & Moxie and plays on NTS Radio & Radio One.

Operating from the heart of Brooklyn, NY, the latest artist to sign up to Ornate is Jordan, whose plush deep house sound has already surfaced via a collaboration with Fred P on the Deep Explorer compilation Far & Beyond. Living on the border of the Bushwick and Ridgewood neighbourhoods, the title of the EP is a nod to the difference Jordan sees between his own spiritual, detailed work and the trend for rougher analogue sounds that have been sweeping the city he calls home. With a focus on expressive, richly melodic synths and delicately balanced rhythms, his music stands apart from the wave of guttural lo-fi sonics, and yet this is still house music with that East coast punch where it counts. With an imminent release for the noted Finale Sounds imprint establishing Jordan well within the remit of high-end house and techno, it gives us great pleasure to present these exercises in soulful immersion, from the three 4/4 driven pieces to the ambient vignette "Visage". With the door open for more experimental interpretations, it made perfect sense to invite former Ornate guest Leif back to turn out a remix of the track, his own hushed tones having recently graced a critically-acclaimed debut album for Fear Of Flying. It's the ideal complement to an EP of highly developed musicianship that spells another exciting step forward for both Jordan and Ornate. More

We are excited to bring to you a new friend to the Finale Sessions family and he is part of the rising cast of producers from the New York underground . This record is just letting you know that it is still the hub for top notch talent in the United States. Jordan is a special producer bringing a vibe like no other with his mix of house and techno attributes .1) Night Mask is a nasty raw down to the ground dance track with sub like kicks and percussions and its flawless arching synth give this track its basis to move like no other.2) Division Point - This track is the basis for the ep and we understand we Jordan is going with this one for sure . Division Point is part deep and raw and it gives the ep its depth that it needs to transpire on different dance floors everywhere with its floating pads and it deep drums . Flawless work I must say.3) Return is the track I dig the most on this Jordan release! It has that peek time feel to it with its techno undertones and its great drum programming which really sets this track apart from all other and we can't forget the super sub underneath all the other attributes

Nick Beringer & Diego Krause have teamed up to deliver a 3 track EP to our MFD office, the mainland Europeans have covered the upbeat corner of the spectrum with 'Adam', and taken things a bit easier with the interesting sounds on 'Focus' and 'Premium'. Keeping on our European thing, we welcomed Lazare Hoche's posterboy Malin Genie to work up a driving little dub mix to round things off.

Washington DC's DJ Nav immortalises his melodic grooves on hand-numbered 12" vinyl on the ever-growing Scottish imprint, Made Fresh Daily. Classic sounds are prevalent through City Limits, with strong garage flavours in the percussion. A moving bassline on 'Your Words' keeps things interesting as it realms into more underground areas, bringing variety to the otherwise classic sounding EP. Reflect is a beautiful example of how real house can sound when executed properly, it also provided a platform for Danny J Lewis to build his dancefloor-minded Dub. Mastered by the mighty Nate Tinsley Productions in Long Island, NY. This one comes with a free sticker if that wasn't enough More
