Altered Roads Vol. 1

Etch & Parris present the inaugural release on new label ‘Altered Roads’. The label is set to focus purely on Etch productions. Initially stemming from a series of mixes Etch recorded titled ‘Altered States’ which focussed on selections of influential tracks that may not be immediately obvious in his productions and a direct audio visual link to the psychedelic imagery in the work of filmmaker’s such as Ken Russell, Gaspar Noe & Stanley Kubrick. This lead to a switch in approach to production and return to the naivety of an ‘anything goes’ mindset. ALTRD001 features 4 tracks ranging from the psychedelic weightlessambient soundscape of ‘When The Soul Departs The Body’,hazy vintage kung-fu film sampling ‘Lore Of Samurai’,the crushingly powerful break laden homage to the defunct BLOC Festival ‘Flamingo Grove’, and ending on futuristic warp-driven hip hop ‘Defunkt Logic’. The scope of these 4 tracks, disregard for the confines of dancefloor function sets the tone for what is to come on this label. All releases will see both digi and 12” vinyl release with incredible artwork from graphic designer Dario Bea.
