Esteemed party and label Memory Box returns with a fantastic new five track EP from
Orson Bramley.
Orson is the founder of British electro funk pioneers Transparent Sound, one of the
UK's longest running electro acts. This is his solo work under his own name and
comes after playing live acid house shows at Memory Box parties.
The original mix of ‘Then Again’ is an acid electro crossover, with corrugated drums
and serene synths. Add in some fresh melodies and you have a slick, seductive track
that is perfectly future sounding.
It also comes as a four to the floor mix and a beautiful ambient strings mix. The
former is more rooted to a steady drum groove but still has alluring cosmic signifiers,
and the latter is one to clear your mind and bliss out amongst the fantastic synth
work.
The B side sees two remixes from acclaimed producer and Memory Box head
honcho Robin Ball, who is also known for his work as Resonators on his recently relaunched Groovepressure label. The first is under his new breakbeat rave alias Robin
Beats and features dusty, old school drums that are filled with nostalgia but finished
with some contemporary synth lines and rueful pads. The other under his own name
sees him take in a deeper house, techno and electro vibe more akin to his
Groovepressure label.
This is a searing release that is designed for maximum impact in the club.
