Sumsuch

Colour and Pitch founder and BBE recording artist Sumsuch returns to his own label with brand new solo EP 'Hand Me Down Demons'. Exploring the power held by ghosts from the past to damage or even destroy our relationships if we let them, 'Hand Me Down Demons' is split into three distinct movements. Originating as an improvised piano piece, 'We Should Talk' quickly evolved into a subtle, warm deep house instrumental, with analogue drums and bass providing a bed for plaintive, heartfelt melodies. Title track 'Hand Me Down Demons' has a grittier character, with a heavily tweaked acid bass-led groove and eerie vocal harmonies creating a dense, late-night club atmosphere. 'Slipping Under' closes the EP with simple classical piano composition set over swirling synth atmospheres and distant seagull cries, symbolizing that final, teary-eyed ending. Music-making at its most cathartic, we hope you enjoy this resonant journey from joy to melanch...

Colour and Pitch label owner Will Sumsuch teams up with friend and occasional DJ partner Danny Williams for 'We Give', a dreamy piece of melodic and spiritual deep house. The pair first met in 2008 during the Movida Corona DJ championships, in which Danny was competing and Will had been asked to act as judge for a regional heat. Danny's impeccable mixing and track selection took him all the way to the UK finals that year, making a lasting impression on Will, who continues to rank Danny among his favourite DJs. It took the pair 8 years of spinning records together to finally get into the studio, but the resulting music is worth the wait. Diving in at the deep end for his first ever studio session, Danny supplies poetic spoken word vocals on both tunes, as well as guiding Will's hand on production and arrangement. Title track 'We Give' is a lazily euphoric deep house piece, combining life-affirming, heavily effected vocals with comforting chords, laid over a ...

Since collaborating on ‘Simpatico’, the debut release on Colour and Pitch, US soul-man Will Brock and label boss Sumsuch’s transatlantic partnership has truly blossomed. As ‘Mega Jawns’, their album ‘Ten Letters From Home’ was released in 2014 on BBE Records, with a second album due for release in 2016. Written and recorded in just one night in West Philadelphia during summer 2014, Shine is a spiritual, afro-tinged Deep House track, featuring soaring vocals and life-affirming lyrics from Will Brock. Having created a truly unique remix for their debut single ‘Simpatico’, it seemed only right to ask aloof production maestro Q-Burns Abstract Message to do it again for ‘Shine’. Effortlessly defying genre tags as usual, his version is a tripped out, deeply touching and achingly beautiful piece of electronic music. Colour and Pitch regular Finest Wear delivers a vintage Deep House reworking, full of light, languid pads over a warm bass-line and masterful drum patterns. Closing out th...

Here it is folks- the long awaited vocal version of 'This Old Town' feat. the stunning vocals of Matty Eeles, coming very soon on Proton's 'Apollo' imprint. The release will feature some very tasty remixes indeed- more info on them to follow. On a personal note, this release will be a tribute to a childhood friend who passed away earlier this year after a long struggle with mental illness. All proceeds from the record will be going to mental health charity Mind. www.mind.org.uk

With my new release dropping on Scope's fantastic new Seven Music label this Monday, I thought perhaps I'd better attempt to indulge in some form of self promotional behaviour and tell you all how fantastic & wonderful it is, and give you as many reasons as possible why you should get up extra early on Monday morning to buy it.... It's gonna be available from all major download stores, and the files have been specially encoded so that if you download it illegally from a Sendspace link it will make your computer explode, or something.... When I sent the EP over to Scope (head honcho of Seven Music) I wasn't even particularly trying to get the tracks signed. The guy's a production hero of mine and has been for some time, and after his support and kind words for my previous releases on Urban Torque, I just thought I'd drop him a link and get some feedback. To my surprise I got a reply from him immediately, in which he explained his plans for Seven Music, an...
