We at Fifty Fathoms Deep are proud to release the stunning debut long player from Frederick aka Peter Oakden. After releasing solo & duo projects throughout 2013 on Local Talk, Deep Shades of House, Miseredits and also a feature on Lay-Far's album 'So Many Ways', Peter will begin 2014 releasing his debut LP on shared label Fifty Fathoms Deep in which he runs with Craig Smith (6th Borough Project). For someone so relatively new to the game this debut is all the more remarkable given the maturity of sound and quality of production. There's a real narrative to this collection of music that draws the listener in from the very first note, to the very last. This isn't just a random collection of dance tracks or some singles with fillers; this is music with substance that transcends genres. No gimmicks just real lasting quality. More

“Episode of Love” in its original version is an exquisite slice of slo-mo disco-trance whose tempo belies its laser-guided effectiveness on the dance floor. Our first remixers Hot Lunch take it to the low countries circa ’87 raising the speed and the insistence just a smidge but keeping phasers set to stun. On the flip Sean Johnston takes a moment from strutting the spaceways with Commander Weatherall to turn in yet another superb remix - in 1989 they’d have called it hypno-house. We call it plain brilliance. The mysterious ‘Frederick’ is a rapidly-rising star, already recording for the likes of Restless Soul, Soul Free, Fifty Fathoms Deep and Local Talk and ‘Episode of Love’ is a sneaky preview of just what to expect from his debut album coming in 2014. Miseriedits is a blink-and-you’ve-probably-already-missed-it spin-off from that other occasional label you love but have grown used to not turning up to dinner very often. More

Part two of 6th Borough Project’s ‘Find Your Rhythm’ remixed EPs sees OOFT, Frederick, Haku, The James L'Estraunge Orchestra all provide new takes on these much-loved tracks.
Stepping up first, OOFT reimagines ‘Bad News’, opting to portray a deeper tone to his version compared to the Scandinavian disco feel of the original. Revolving the track around a prominent, rumbling bass synth yet maintaining an undeniably bouncing, dancefloor groove. Following this, Fredrick takes to ‘Right Next Time’, moulding it into a big room powerhouse. Laced with dream inducing arps and a hardy topline, tied together with an undulating bass that resonates within the belly of the track.
On the B side, Haku steps up with a Dub version of ‘Release’ reworking the bassy afro stylings into a gritty, lo-fi 4x4 beat. The modulated synth stabs interlink with a punchy acid line whilst the rhythmic vocal exhalations add an ethereal touch to proceedings.
Last of the remixes, the spacey dub makeup of ‘Back Where It All Began’ gets flipped by the The James L’Estraunge Orchestra, beautifully rescoring the track into an orchestral masterpiece. It slowly builds and builds till it opens up into an incredible DnB infused, jazz closer that will leave the bodies begging for more.

6th Borough Project’s 2017 standout LP “Find Your Rhythm” get’s the remix treatment from five in demand artists. On the A side Mathias Schober flips “Someday” from a chuggy acid number into a brooding synth laden techno stomper, whilst Lay-Far switches the DnB flavours of “Back Where It All Began” into a breakbeat tinged house roller. The final remix on the A side is taken by Afrobad, who creates a broken beat rhythmic stepper out of title track “Find Your Rhyhtm”.
Flip it over and Jad & The take things deep with their remix of “Release” creating a sun kissed, blissed out version of the original. Whilst Deep Space Orchestra take the closing slot of this Fifty Fathoms Deep remix package turning “One Way Out” from a rave leaning bass track into a hard hitting, glitched out rhythmic weapon complete with killer drum programming and a touch of the UK funky to it.

To celebrate Fifty Fathoms Deeps 2nd year of pressing we asked some of our favourite producers to remix a selection of cuts from our back catalogue and as expected they've all come up trumps! The EP opens with Fouk boys riding the groove on their remix of Ugly Drums Don't Let Life (Passing By) then Thatmanmonkz goes left of centre with his reimagining of Phil Asher feat James Massiahs Move Ya Self. On the flip New Zealand's Frank Booker comes correct on his take of Lay-Fars Triptych to round off a great package. The EP is a fitting way to mark another year of quality music from Fifty Fathoms Deep. More
