inHabit drop ‘Circles’ EP with vocalist Georgia Rose at the centre

InHabit Recordings are touching down once again and are pleased to report that after a string of hard-edged angular armour-plated bombs they’re back with something a little deeper in the form of another instalment of their semi-regular Texture series with the ‘Circles’ EP. Those of you who’ve been following inHabit for a while will know that whenever they find the right material, they like to make space for the deeper, more musical moments to shine through, and that’s what this collection here is all about. They’re coming at this series from a different angle again this time too, with a four-track EP that centres on the considerable talents of extraordinary vocalist Georgia Rose. Four of their favourite producers have built and arranged a tune each around four full vocal performances, each bringing their own perspectives and crafting smooth-rolling serenity that has enough bass to bump in the basements and still has more than enough beauty for your boo’s boudoir too.

On to the tunes and label-regular Brainwork kicks off proceedings with ‘Invigorate’ a smoky, soulful, stepper’s arrangement that wisely puts Georgia Rose’s breathy, earthy but ethereal vocals out front and centre.

Subdue sets a darker tone with ‘Allure’, with a long and subtle intro that gives the vocals the space to creep in and stand out over any mix, before dropping into a warm, bleepy, plangent melancholia that’s a gorgeous contrast with the lyrics.

Making an appearance on inHabit again after his debut release with us in our first year, fresh off the back of an extremely impressive Metalheadz release Rizzle shows off a different side to his productions with EP title track ‘Circles’, with strings, melody and bass all doing their thing, using cleverly edited and tweaked vocal cuts and edits texturally to foreshadow a “We’re just going around in circles, circles….” lyric that floats in waifishly over a track so catchy you should wear a mask before you listen.

Winding up the quartet, Thread ties it all together with an expansive, spacious atmosphere that zooms out to almost trance-like levels of immensity, anchoring it all to the floor with a guttural organic bassline, and a close-to-the-mic intensity in the vocal processing that lets Georgia Rose really come into full command and focus.

So there you have it. There’s more than one way to be a bedroom DJ you know? And it’s the time of year for it too so go forth and do what you gotta do, safe in the knowledge that Height has mastered these things to absolutely slap on whatever rig you play them on. These four tunes will get you out of some tight spots, they’ll lift you up, they’ll rescue any floor that’s flagging in the absence of feelings, you can dance to them with your eyes closed or open, we hope you enjoy them in the company of friends and friends you haven’t made yet.

Today we premiere Brainwork ft. Georgia Rose ‘Invigorate’ which you can check out below. The ‘Circles’ EP drops this Friday 8th April, make sure you grab a copy for your collection from here!
