Ed Shepherd – Remedy [LH005]

Another entry into the Lonesome Hero roster, Ed Shepherd. Having hoarded an arsenal of hardware goodies, Shepherd employs his passion for all things analog into a beast of a 3-track EP. ‘Remedy’ grabs 90s acid house by the shirt collar and shoves it into the modern vinyl scene with a heady LFO drone that just won’t quit. Changing direction, ‘Britta’ epitomizes the fleshed-out inner romanticism Shepherd continually uncovers throughout his ever-evolving studio process. And then ‘Beaker’, an homage to Techno’s sequenced-and-squelchy Dan Bell era.

The Rasundas – Buttered Piano [LH004]

Forth Lonesome Hero release features a solid house track that kicks off with an intoxicating metalic bassline that hypnotically segues into The Rasundas’ staple groove-heavy drums, with an achingly timeless piano peppered all over the top. On the flip-side, the boys over at Campaign of Love handle the remix duties. By tracking it out a bit, COL have roughed up the original with a combination of strings and 909 snares, while keeping the spirit of the original mix alive with a snippet of its massive bassline.
