DESCRIPTION:
4 Track EP OF Deep House / Tech House p-Sidney Charles debuts on LOCUS as he opens the label’s 2021 schedule with his ‘High Pressure’ EP.

A DJ, producer and label boss at the top of his game, Sidney Charles continues to showcase his talents as a leading name within house music. With his own signature take on the genre so widely recognisable, yet a sound which also continues to evolve and develop, the German’s rich catalogue boasts recent releases via the likes of No Art, Moon Harbour, and Do Not Sleep, with his own Heavy House Society imprint welcoming material via the likes of Djebali, Okain, Sakro, Tripmastaz and Locklead to name just a few. Next up, late- January welcomes a label debut to kick start the New Year as he heads to FUSE’s LOCUS imprint to deliver his four-track ‘High Pressure’ EP.

Title track ‘High Pressure’ opens the EP in style as Charles introduces a slick blend of dubby pads, funky-fuelled basslines and infectious vocal hooks, whilst ‘There Is No Time’ takes things up a notch, introducing soaring leads, slinking drums and punchy kicks alongside an epic, warping breakdown crafted for peak- time dancefloors. On the flip, ‘Onda’ welcomes a dynamic drum workout as skittering percussion and shuffling hats lock horns atop of sweeping melodies, before closing the show via the commanding, murky low-ends and warping synths of final cut, ‘Jove Loy’.

Locus was one of the breakthrough tech-house labels of 2020, so we're looking forward to hearing what they have in store for 2021. They've made a positive start though, thanks to a rock solid four-tracker from experienced, Hamburg-based producer Sidney Charles. Opener 'High Pressure' sets the tone, with Charles dousing a typically glitchy-but-funky groove in spacey chords and flashing electronic motifs. The German producer explores similar sonic territory on the even funkier - but no less fluid or mind-altering - 'There is No Time', while 'Onda' is a more dense, intense and bass-heavy late-night wonk-a-thon. Closing cut 'Joy Love', a raw and twisted affair, may well be the most inspired track of the lot.

Last FM Information on Sidney Charles

But Sidney Charles in his age of twenty-something already looks into many happy faces, when he enters the decks. Everybody, who understands this love-binding kind of music, has to live the urban movement behind it, the culture that brings people of all kinds together. Exactly these motions are fascinating the young man, born as Sidney Charles Hurricane Vieljans in Hamburg, Germany. With the age of 15 Sidney Charles discovered the magic of the two black discs spinning on the 1210s. At the beginning Hip Hop, Soul, Funk, Breakbeat and Turntablism was Sidney´s medium to express his emotions. Highly delighted and inspirited by the time of late 80s and early 90s, when the movement, accompanied by young culture, began, Sidney Charles was finding the higher BPM-numbers of House & Techno were leading to more inspiration and happiness. He is not a musician, nor a percussionist. He is a collector. A collector of culture and experiences. The energy and feeling around the music is what makes the difference and letting Sidney Charles not be one of manys. Read more on Last.fm.
