News | Robert James "Sleep Modes" EP out on Hot Creations, 14th June
Introducing Robert James, a talent way ahead of his game that will soon be familiar for his infectious music, not least for ‘Sleep Moods’ his debut EP on Hot Creations.
‘Sleep Moods’ is the type of record that you never want to end. Drilling into the mind with rattling bells, rolling bass and echoed calls of ‘go deep… all night… no sleep’. This is an unstoppable dancefloor classic catching your attention from first listen and leaving you wanting more. As‘Sleep Moods’breaks into its groove through ricocheting sirens and dumbbells that keep the energy levels stoked up, it leaves no doubt that Robert James is an original and skilled new artist.
On the flip ‘Connected’is another explosive original, crackling with kickdrums and sharpened with supernatural synth stabs. In a similar vein to the sound of Jamie Jones, the Hot Creationslabel creator, you can see where these two producers have found common ground.
Completing the package, Parisien house afficionado Dyed Soundorom takes on a remix of title track, ‘Sleep Moods’. Producing a stripped back dubby version that works at any point of the night, a skill that Dyed has become renowned for. Dyed has been part of the Freak n’Chic crew for many years and has also released on Crosstown Digital Rebels, Spectral, murmur and Supplement Facts. As the newest resident of Ibiza musical mecca, DC10, he is rightly revered in many circles as one of the strongest up and coming talents around making this an even stronger package of talent.
Robert James is one of a number of artists that have been rising from the ashes of Leeds’ music scene, England’s second in command city for dance music. However his sound is completely unique, not least for a strong sense of groove and healthy ambition to do things differently. His passion lies in creating dancefloor-orientated music that is infectious, unique and above all wills feet off the floor. A regular fixture playing at clubs such as Back to Basics, the Zoo Project and Space in Ibiza and Below in Birmingham, you can be sure this won’t be the last you’ve heard of him yet.
