Reason or Romanza – Sunflower
It’s friday and, despite the fact that we’ve been putting up free tracks rather randomly up until now, it’s time for another free download. This week’s freebie comes courtesy of the nice people over at the Civil Music label, UK home to the likes of Debruit, Rusko, Kotchy, Starkey and Drums of Death, and their latest signing: Reason or Romanza. Not the easiest name to roll off the tongue, which is lucky considering we’re primarily bothered about their music.
What’s more we’ve got more than just one free track for your listening pleasure. Read on to find out more.
Reason or Romanza (let’s call them RoR from now on) will be releasing their debut EP on the label, titled ‘EP1′, in early November. ‘EP1′ boasts four tracks from the duo, firmly rooted in the electronica and instrumental hip hop/beats styles that have cemented themselves over the last few years, and four remixes which take the originals into much further territories, touching on dubstep, minimal techno and even tribal house rhythms.
Here’s what the press blurb has to say:
Sitting firmly between Soulful Electronica and Forward-Thinking Soundscapes these two south-end on sea beat collaborators have found new pastures in the fields between Four tet and Flying Lotus. Reason or Romanza have buckets of credits to their ever growing name, they won the ‘best music’ award at the Intel short film awards for the soundtrack to Mahalia Belo’s film ‘Silent Music’, they’ve been getting regular plays across the airways from excited Beat junkies through to Classic fm, Run the London’s Superdisco night and also held residency at Multivitamins minimal/electronica nights in East London. Reason and Romanza have provided remixes for Cheju (Boltfish Recordings) and Kirmann (Lobe Recordings, Lona, Records), with more in the works and now with their debut on civil music, they have been lent a hand with remixes by luminaries from all strains of electronic music – Loaf Recordings top boy Vincent Oliver, Planet Mu’s Skweee legend Eero Johannes, Black Arce’s spacey dub new boy Blue Daisy, eclectic Finnish producer Recue and Electronic legends Posthuman. Four equally eclectic remix’s from the new masters of their respective sounds…
Civil Music are very nicely letting us giveaway ‘Sunflower’, which you can download or stream below, a spacey, electronic number perfect for the current autumn vibes. And you’ll be able to check out the Blue Daisy remix of ‘Seven Uses of Potential Difference’ which is by far my favourite on the release, taking the track deep into tribal territories without sounding cheesy.
And on top of this, they’ve also given us three exclusive remixes of tracks from the release (which we assume didn’t make the final cut). These come from Vincent Oliver (Lo Recordings), Loose Fit (Allez Allez) and Posthuman (Seed, Warp). These 3 exclusive remixes can be downloaded as a zip on the link below. They include two remixes of ‘Seven Uses of Potential Difference’ and one remix of ‘Two Times, Three Times’.
