#36 Feat. Staff Picks in Progressive House

Barry Jamieson, Tristan Case and Tom Barlow link up for a global collaboration on Clinken Haus, ably supported on remix duties by Australian supermo, Jamie Stevens. US-based Barry Jamieson made his name as half of Evolution and co-owner of Fluid Records back in the 90s. Now an accomplished studio engineer, he has a Grammy nomination and top 40 hits under his belt as well as a storied history in the underground. Sydney-based, Return to Rio resident and producer Tristan Case has had quite a journey since relocating from the UK as a jobbing musician and self-taught DJ. Together with fellow Brit, Tom Barlow, the pair launched their production careers with Dorse on onedotsixtwo. They have gone on to have exciting solo careers signing music to a number of high profile imprints. In original form Clinken Haus opens in warm effervesence. Twinkly arps and a sparse percussive framework greets you like a familiar friend before veering off into the wonky and weird. Ebbing and flowing without ever really needing a break, the audio story it tells is one of joyous abandon and carefree enjoyment. A work of art. On remix duties, leading light and Australian prog pioneer, Jamie Stevens drops a detailed and imaginative breaks reimagiation choc full of e-moments and nuanced emotion.
