EVY JANE, the experimental R&B duo from Vancouver of Evelyn Mason and Jeremiah Klein have released an enchanting, blurred and ethereal self-titled EP featuring two original tacks and a few remixes. Digital format drops today on King Deluxe, following with vinyl release in March.

Sayso is a perfect soundtrack to a lazy Indian Summer afternoon, when everything seems to be 'frozen' with overwhelming heat. Mesmerizing post-dubstep drums and beat, spaced-out vocals and beautiful synths really melted my mind. I thought this was a perfect, gripping tune until I've heard Taal Mala's remix :) He placed a few bleeps and beeps here and there, played with synths a bit, thus making it even more dreamy and psychedelic. This track has stuck in my player for good! Ohso is a more conventional treat, a synth-ladden bass trip through rather well-explored territories, but quite catchy nonetheless. As in the case of the former tune, Max Ulis has done a great job refixing Ohso into nicely rolling future garage thing. Remixes by Julien Mier and Andy Dixon, available only in digital format, add more nice flavors to the package.  Another strong release from the Canadian label. Highly recommended by Doktor Krank.

King Deluxe Presents: Year One comp

One of my favorite providers of fresh music in 2011, a Canadian based label King Deluxe celebrates one year with the release of Year One compilation (in two parts). It includes a few highlights of quite a fruitful 12 months along with new interpretations by forward-thinking beatshmiths from across the globe including Fancy Mike, Ghost Mutt, Alphabets Heaven, I.D., Subp Yao, Option Command, Muta, Vaetxh, Acre and others. Stylistically this release offers diverse and wide-ranging beatz aesthetics with producers freely experimenting with sound, often quite successfully. This is not your typical easy-listening, ump ump sub sub UKG, Dubstep or Future Garage ting. Which is good, cause at the moment I'm really fed up with all this UK* scene. These tracks require some effort on the part of the listener, but trust me - you will be rewarded in the end :) If I am to name a few higlights I'd include: a fantastic Subp Yao's remix of equally great Aether by I.D., Zack Christ's angry, off-kilter refix of Aleph's Sulphozinum or Ghost Mutt's uplifting remix of Alphabets Heaven's Woman.  Don't hesitate peeps, grab this nice package, you won't be disappointed.
