about

After a spate of 12” releases on local Bristol-based labels, including ‘Multiverse by Moonlight’ on COD3 QR that drew overwhelming support from everyone from Prins Thomas and Tornado Wallace to Vladimir Ivkovic, Remotif has decided the time is ripe to take the plunge and start his own vinyl imprint. Say hello to Familiar Strangers.

Starting primarily as an outlet for Remotif’s own material, releases on Familiar Strangers will draw influence from everything from deep house and Balearic, to new wave, breakbeat and beyond. The title track perfectly encapsulates this Magpie-like ethos to production. Wisps of distant saxophone sit far away amongst a chorale glow, as percussive elements pierce the mist to keep our feet rooted on the shore. In the foreground, steel drums sit atop a languid, elasticated breakbeat.

‘Drunk On Cowboy Love’ (inspired by one too many late night sessions playing Red Dead Redemption) breaks through the haze to provide a bouncy uplifting ride. Fidgety, unpredictable breakbeats underpin a playful bassline and an expanse of twinkling chimes.

Where Drunk on Cowboy Love feels futuristic and nimble, Atocha Familiar is warm, and close. Shuffling percussion and submerged vocals draw from the Balaeric sound palette but with a sense of projection that is characteristically Remotif.

The wonderful Flora FM (Kalahari Oyster Cult/Planet Euphorique) turns in a party-rousing reinterpretation. The melodic elements of the original remain but are pulled taut along the tension of his frenetic drum workout. Jittery stabs of vocal and synth are folded in among the unrelenting pull of the rework, in a thrilling ending to a varied and accomplished EP.

Absolutely next dimension transfer here...remotif has found a very appealing way of creating a transcendental trippy, yet warm and a bit melancholic expression in prog/trancy tradition at its best...love it! DJ Miami

What a sound. Smooth FM percussions in African mood like balafon , it is ambient house that could still find its way in club Dj sets. I love when inspirations from classical music (in such proper chord progressions etc) one of the best of 2020 Olivier Tison
