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 Helena Hauff Living With Ladybirds Electronica | Fabric Worldwide | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 11th November 2022 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Helena Hauff Living With Ladybirds £14.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Fabric Worldwide SKU: FRO003 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 11th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jlin Autobiography (Music from Wayne McGregor’s Autobiography) Electronica | Planet Mu | 2LP Released 28th September 2018 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jlin Autobiography (Music from Wayne McGregor’s Autobiography) £21.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Planet Mu SKU: ZIQ399 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 28th September 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hermitude Mirror Mountain Electronica | Nettwerk | 1LP Released 24th June 2022 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hermitude Mirror Mountain £17.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Nettwerk SKU: ACE265V Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bitch Bitchcraft Electronica | Kill Rock Stars | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th January 2024 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bitch Bitchcraft £21.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Kill Rock Stars SKU: LPKRS684C Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th January 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Autechre LP5 Electronica | Warp | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 19th November 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Autechre LP5 £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warp SKU: WARPLP66R Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 19th November 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Chocolate Hills, The Orb Yarns From The Chocolate Triangle Electronica | Cooking Vinyl | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 19th May 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chocolate Hills, The Orb Yarns From The Chocolate Triangle £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Cooking Vinyl SKU: ORBSLP003 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 19th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Teebs Ardour (10th Anniversary Edition) Electronica | Brainfeeder | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 11th December 2020 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Teebs Ardour (10th Anniversary Edition) £24.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Brainfeeder SKU: BFDNL010X Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 11th December 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Drab Majesty An Object In Motion Electronica | Dais | 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released 25th August 2023 £21.00 - £24.00 Select options Drab Majesty An Object In Motion £21.00 - £24.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Dais Formats: 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released Date: 25th August 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Tangerine Dream Views From A Red Train Electronica | Kscope | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 19th August 2022 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tangerine Dream Views From A Red Train £32.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Kscope SKU: KSCOPE1099 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 19th August 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lloyd Cole 1D Electronics 2012-2014 Electronica | Bureau B | 1LP, Includes CD Released 11th September 2015 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lloyd Cole 1D Electronics 2012-2014 £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Bureau B SKU: BB211LP Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 11th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Electronica Start again
