After a short hiatus, were happy to welcome back one of our favorite producers, Tom Sirztes aka Shur-I-Kan. Since 2009, Tom has been a fixture on the label, with 8 EPs plus exclusives, collaborations and remixes. You can expect new solo material from him on Lazy Days this year, but in the meantime, we have a new collaborative project with Fred Everything. The pair worked together in the past on projects for Tsuba Records and Lazy Days. Tom is a classically trained keyboard player and Composition X is based on one of his original composition. Originally sent as a basic demo, Fred reworked it by adding beats, keys and additional production. The original mix is based around a main strummed chord theme, backed by an upright bass, strings and a solid rhythm section. The Dub was created as a bonus beat idea where one of the drum machines triggered a chord on the Juno 60, which inspired a whole new version. The Reprise is just what you would expect, a shorter, mostly beatless version highlighting the main part of the composition.
Lazy Days regular Matt Masters is back on Lazy Days after his previous solo EPs and his collaboration with Milton Jackson. This time, hes teaming up with none other than UK legend, Danny Howells. The pair met online during covid, when Matt played one of Dannys track on one of his live stream. With the mutual respect and the relationship building up, they decided to work on a project together. After a bouncing a few ideas back and forth, the pair met to work together and put together what would become Introspection EP. The result is a perfect storm. A combination of Matts 20 years experience working for Freerange Records (and having a mentor like Jimpster!) and Dannys long and successful carrer as a pioneer a deeper progressive sound that made him one of the masters in the genre. The EPs features 3 tracks : Introspection, Elevate and NTO. All beautifully crafter with this unique blend of deepness, dubby sounds, skillful use of samples and melodies. Final edits, overdubs and mixing were done by Fred Everything in Montreal.
