As the Love Not
Money imprint reaches release #17, it's still tough to pin point the labels
signature sound. A melting pot of imagination and tastes focusing more on making
sure each release purveys quality music from across the
board.
Next up is
something a little different from the multi-talented George Holliday. With the
original here being somewhat of a down tempo 'James Blake-esque' experimental
track, not something we would usually sign, but when LNM artists and good
friend's of George, Cubiq gave us the heads-up and supplied us with a storming
remix that completely went against everything the original stands for it was
obvious how well these parts could be utilised, so we made a few call's and
followed suit with remixes from well known artist Giom and label boss Luke
Pompey.
Now George Holliday
is better known as a jazz pianist with an ambition to compose stylish pop.
Alongside his chosen career path writing film scores, his music has brought him
opportunities to work with many artists, thus bringing him arena gigs and even
the chance to support the likes of Jessie J and Rizzle Kicks. The future for
George is looking bright as he pursues many different angles of music from the
George Holliday Trio through to his upcoming funk album due late 2012. 'Never
Gonna Grow' is from his 2011 Winter EP and is a fine example of George's
song-writing ability.
On remixes duties
we have drafted in the world renounced talent of Giom. In a very short space of
time Giom has become one of the most highly sought after producers, remixers and
DJs in the deep house scene and has gone on to work with labels including Om
Records, Ornate, Lo:Rise, Defected and LCG Music, providing both original music
and remixes for artists including Fred Everything, Jay-J and LawnChair Generals.
Not forgetting his long-term partnership with one of the biggest labels in the
House scene right now... 'Lost My Dog'. His remix is a somewhat hypnotising and
constantly evolving piece with lush pad's and dreamy synth lines, making great
use of the vocal and proving graciously why the man is so in
demand.
Finishing of the
release nicely is a long-overdue remix from label boss Luke Pompey. With the
label on course to hit 22 releases between the course of 2012 it's
understandable the Luke has hardly had any time at all to get in to the studio
but when he does the outcome is always something special. The result is a
sun-drenched Nu-Disco affair driven by a pumping bassline, warm pads and a
funk-laden groove that does not quit. Out of the three, this remix doesn't stray
too far away from the original with amazing use of the part's, utilising the
Rhode's to every inch of it's existence.
As the UK summer
finally makes an appearance this EP is a fine accompaniment to any out door
party, festival or nightclub and another stellar release from the LNM
stable.
