DESCRIPTION:
tech/ Acid & Deep House - 4 Tracks - Risk/Reward’s fourth release sees one of the UK’s most prolific and recognizable Producer/DJ’s take the elevator all the way down to the basement of the Tech House sonic spectrum…
Archie Hamilton has achieved superstar status after over a decade of consistently excellent musical output. As the name suggests, Friends in Low Places sees him return to the underground with the rolling, acid-laced, “for the heads” sound that first saw him explode on to the scene 10+ years ago, supplying 3 original tracks that will surprise and delight in equal measure!
A1: NyLon blends the dreamy shades of 90s Italo with the rugged bounce of golden era UK Tech House, to create a beautiful, bold fever dream. Intricate synth melodies, rudeboy vocal cuts and transcendant pads play out over crunchy swinging drums. A bold opening statement to kick off the EP.
A2: The energy kicks up to 11 on Trance-Tech bomb No Signal, a certified weapon of mass dance floor destruction! Vintage Archie rolling 303 bass layered with complex acid lines, haunting siren calls and relentless, gritty drums make for a powerful peak time standout that will have jaws dropping!
B1: On the flip side Archie takes you Higher with another signature roller that’s instantly familiar yet enigmatic. Punchy yet intricate drums, deeply groovy bass, a variety of ear worm melodies and an oh so familiar voice take you up, up and away in to the atmosphere. An instant classic from a man who’s made his fair share.
B2: Returning to the scene he played a key role in building after almost a decade out, UK Tech House DON Gideon Jackson delivers a gargantuan remix that could very easily reduce the club to rubble if not handled carefully. No element of Higher was spared in this rework, but the weight and pressure get cranked up to the absolute fullest - tougher than tough stuff from the OG!

Last FM Information on Archie Hamilton
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Archie Hamilton was born into a life in music. The polar influences he was exposed to throughout his childhood can be attributed to the multi-faceted sound of his own work in the studio, or unique style behind the decks. On the one hand his father educated him in the classical modes: jazz, acoustic, rhythm & blues, soul, and even opera. On the other his Mother came from a punk background (she was even in a punk band in the late seventies - complete with a shaven head!) before embracing the Acid House movement, exposing Archie to the sounds and rhythms of Hardfloor, Adonis, Marshall Jefferson, Jam & Spoon and the Orb. He started listening to her Terry Farley and Mrs Wood mix-tapes and naturally (at the tender age of thirteen) saved up to buy a set of Numark belt-drive turntables and began scoring basic compositions using the eJay loop sequencer.
His first break came whilst living in Oxford in 2006, when he secured a residency as the opening DJ at the Carling/O2 Academy. On moving back to London in 2008 he continued to enhance his fledgling career in the industry by working at 'Defected' and '360 Artist Management', ably supported with a succession of gigs at venues such as the Aquarium, Cargo, the Rhythm Factory, the Lightbox, the Doors, and the Horse & Groom; all culminating in a memorable performance at the Glade Festival in the summer of 2009 alongside being rewarded a weekly residency at the T-Bar. By the years end his star had truly risen: with the Evening Standard hailing him the next 'Mark Ronson' (despite the obvious differences in their respective genre selections!) he co-founded the 'moscow records' imprint where he will be releasing his own music and applying his past knowledge and experience to take on the A&R duties, whilst further nascent productions were also signed to labels such as Bullet Train, Monique Musiq and Uberbeat, and gained support and praise form the likes of Jet Project, DJ T. (Get Phyiscal), and Terry Francis (fabric). Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
