Florida producer Stereo 77 presents his latest collection of production via four mesmeric, profound, and intimate tracks titled the 'Consider Time EP'. An adventurous, late night, post dance-floor assortment with hints of 90s era deep house, sampled drums, sounds and vocals, live recordings, and more - while remaining heavily dosed with the tropical and Afro-Caribbean beats and rhythms traditionally found within most Stereo 77 production & remixes.
Inspired by the recent and unfortunate passing of Florian Schneider, 'FS / Consider Time' opens this collection with a slow moving, hypnotically deep 4/4 groove, accompanied by an Afro-Caribbean rhythm section and live percussion. Ethereal voices interweave and blanket the rhythm, as the warm bass & synths swell like waves - calling upon you to consider the end of time and space ...
'Where You've Been' continues with a similar vibe of deep hitting "four on the floor" grooves, and a Brazilian inspired rhythm section straight out of Carnaval or a Samba line! Haunting and captivating dubbed-out vocals maneuver throughout the thumping and warm bass-line, catapulting 'Where You've Been' into a state of euphoria.
'The Twitch' reunites Stereo 77 with internationally acclaimed painter, professor, and human rights activist Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz (NYC / Puerto Rico), turning her original spoken word piece into an ambient and cinematic call to action - reflecting the damage caused though the violence of another. Poignant, passionate, and immensely sincere.
Bringing this package to a close, Filtered Deluxe Recordings label-mate James Hayford takes the remix of 'Just You' deep into the jungle, where thunderous dub rhythms are king! Along for the journey is Joe Andrew on Melodica, guiding this remix into a dreamy and spaced-out composition. Remember to not feed the birds ...
