Long time underground favorite Medlar has collaborated with the likes of Dele Sosimi, Rebekah Reid, DeeVoeNay, Finn Peters, Sam Virdie, Afla Sackey, and Arnau Obiols on an album that find him taking his production to new levels. From roots playing illegal raves in the South West to building up a cultured catalog that bounces between house and garage, Medlar has long been part of the underground conversation. He has dropped a previous album and many innovative remixes and edits for the likes of Billy Cobham and Shirley Lites, worked in the studio and on stage with Afro legend Dele Sosimi, and most recently released an album under his own name that collected myriad different sonic sketches from the past 15 years.'Islands' is an altogether different proposition that comes after establishing himself as a mix engineer and producer of other people's music. In that time, Medlar has honed his skills, learnt new tricks and grown more able to express himself in sound. The result is an album that explores a more electronic palette inspired by '80s fusion sounds whilst maintaining a loose, organic flow through his use of live instrumentation. 'The idea for the LP was for a collection of music which could sit alone as club tracks, but would work equally well as part of a whole. The name Islands came from this, as there's some connecting ideas but the tracks sit independently in their own little sonic worlds. I took a lot of inspiration from early 80's electronic music produced during early years of MIDI technology... proto house, jazz fusion, electronic disco and experimental ambient. I wanted to juxtapose some of these methods with more contemporary production and make something that's ultimately quite fun!' says Medlar of the record which could easily soundtrack a summer road trip.Across 11 tracks, he blends old-school techniques like a fusion of live instruments, FM synthesis, and MIDI triggered vocal samples with more contemporary touches such as punchy, club-friendly drums and dub inspired, speaker-wobbling low end. The result is less reliant on samples than his previous works and makes for a perfect blend of retro authenticity and future freshness. Limited pink vinylTracklisting:A1. Take A Trip (ft.
