You get the sense that these elements have been lovingly crafted during countless hours of sonic experimentation and invention in the studio. As Heavee explains, the primary focus on synths represents a departure from his usual creative process: “Usually in my method of production, synths or sounds come somewhat close to last, likely after I find structure or rhythm. Basically, it’s not something I particularly go for first, but this time around they became the building blocks”. Heavee has made a conscious decision to challenge himself, adopting a different approach to his past productions. In doing so, he moves away from the familiar sampling techniques which characterised his earlier work: “I am a child of the last days of ghetto house culture as it shifted into juke/footwork. My parents, aunties, and uncles played house and ghetto house music at family functions, BBQs and house parties. That’s my roots and where I came from. However, on this record, I chose to stray away from vocal samples, to give myself room to grow in different areas.” Heavee finds his voice in emphatic fashion on Cloud Ride feat. DJ Phil. His lyrical content and flow are on point as the track flips seamlessly from hip hop to footwork and back again. DJ Phil features on 3 tracks in total, a reflection of Heavee and Phil’s close friendship and musical connection. As Heavee explains: “Phil’s studio is a safe space for me. Whether he is in the room or not, I don’t feel weird about trying something that might be silly, taking it to the next level, or coming from a place of pure inspiration. Phil has historical, musical and cultural knowledge relevant to Chicago. He shares a lot of invaluable knowledge with me” WFM features It’s Wack a classic collaboration with DJ Rashad that still sounds fresh today. Heavee remembers how Rashad would always stay connected, even during his relentless touring schedule: “We’d get calls no matter where he was. We would talk about everything! He ALWAYS had new info; what new music was popping, scenes that were really accepting or supportive of what we were doing, blends that made the party go off, sites, adventures and just fuel us with support from him and give us living proof of the global support that was to come and the journey that was ahead of us.” Although Heavee makes music with the dancefloor firmly in mind, the sheer quality of his music transcends that space. So sit back and enjoy the next chapter in the Teklife story. All that remains is for Heavee to sign out with a message for the worldwide Teklife family: “First, Thank you to everyone who supports what I do as an Individual, and Teklife Music as an entirety. You don’t understand how much your support means to us, it literally keeps us moving. The takeover is far from over! Second, thank you to everyone involved in this project, I couldn’t have made it without you. This process taught me so much about what it takes to become the person you want to be. It starts inside of you, and you have to really work for it, you can’t wait and wonder. I feel beyond blessed to present this gift to the world, walking this journey of self -discovery through music with you!!!” Artist Heavee Genre Electronica Label Teklife Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Electronica View Product Quick View Unkle Psyence Fiction Electronica | UMC | 2LP Released 23rd January 2019 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Unkle Psyence Fiction £24.00 Genre: Electronica Label: UMC SKU: 6759386 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 23rd January 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Calvin Harris Miracle Electronica | Sony | 12", Single Released 7th July 2023 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Calvin Harris Miracle £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Sony SKU: 19658824691 Formats: 12", Single Released Date: 7th July 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View µ-Ziq Grush Electronica | Planet Mu | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Glow In The Dark Vinyl Released 14th June 2024 £26.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders µ-Ziq Grush £26.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Planet Mu SKU: ZIQ465X Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Glow In The Dark Vinyl Released Date: 14th June 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Soundspecies & Ache Meyi Soundspecies & Ache Meyi Electronica | Manana Records | 2LP Released 14th July 2017 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Soundspecies & Ache Meyi Soundspecies & Ache Meyi £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Manana Records SKU: MANANA3LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 14th July 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Model Man Model Man Electronica | Marathon Artists | 1LP Released 29th October 2021 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Model Man Model Man £15.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Marathon Artists SKU: MR0099LPLP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wu-Lu LOGGERHEAD Electronica | Warp | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 8th July 2022 £21.00 Select options Wu-Lu LOGGERHEAD £21.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warp Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 8th July 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Deadbeat & Camara Trinity Thirty Electronica | Constellation | 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 26th April 2019 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Deadbeat & Camara Trinity Thirty £23.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Constellation SKU: CST141LP Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 26th April 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View hybrid minds tides Electronica | hybrid minds | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 22nd March 2024 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders hybrid minds tides £28.00 Genre: Electronica Label: hybrid minds SKU: 5054197735530 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 22nd March 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Range, The Mercury Electronica | Domino | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 10th June 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Range, The Mercury £23.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Domino SKU: WIGLP412 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 10th June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Vanishing Twin The Age of Immunology Electronica | Fire Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 3rd May 2024 £24.00 Select options Vanishing Twin The Age of Immunology £24.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Fire Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 3rd May 2024 Read More Select options See more in Electronica Start again
